here's a concept of mine, based on the jellyfish
I'm currently working on the color. Critics please.

I dont like giving criticism but imo that looks WAY too much like Qwilfish.
Sorry that this is being presented rather late, but the idea just barely came to mind earlier today. Anyways, I tried to create the concept of a ferrofluid pufferfish. In a sense, the ferrofluid would explain its electric temperament. Also, I imagine something rather bulky in appearance to accommodate the given 151 HP base stat. So yeah, all feedback is appreciated. :)
I actually prefer the longer teeth because it pulls it away from the Bibarel look-alike part of it imo.I experimented with a shorter, flatter version of the teeth on my hydroelectric beaver design. Here is the long and short version of the teeth side-by-side (click to view in full size):
I still prefer the longer teeth, because I think it makes the design a bit more offensive looking. But, the shorter teeth put the design more squarely in the classic beaver mold, which may be a better way to go.
Anyway, I'm curious which one is preferred by others.
Um ... how come all of the poses have different colour schemes? He changes to yellow when he opens his mouth and changes again to a brightish blue when he closes his mouth and then becomes dark blue/purple in places when his claws come out. I'm confused.http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll318/seanbostick/things2.jpg
i changed the color scheme to emphasize the electric typing - your comments are definitely true, im gonna work on it then post a more fleshed out rendering this evening based upon your comments, thanks my dudeWhy do these things always seem to coincide with my exam period man, I dunno if I can get mine finished on time :7
Regirubber: It's a fitting animal to base your design on, but currently your entry is lacking an edge or something that sets it apart. I'd work on a hook that really grabs peoples attention. It seems that patterns on the back are the main way to go, and I see you have made a start, but the electric typing needs to be emphasised more I think. Maybe fit some more character in there too? I saw your art thread and your Gyarados, so I expect something super awesome don't hold out on me man

Hahaha yeah, you're right. I dunno how the hell I didn't notice. Too bad I'm too uncreative and lazy to fix it. :/Chaoscrippler, as another user stated, your design almost looks like a Qwilfish or an evolution of it, honestly.
I know you just got done getting rid of a lightning bolt tail, but that particular style of broad eel-style tail could still have a lighting pattern and not look dumb. It's hard to describe what I'm thinking of, but imagine taking a pair of scissors to your guy's tail, and cutting the fins until they were a typical lightning bolt shape, then pretend that they grew that way in the first place. Whether or not that sorta thing would jive with your design, I couldn't say. It looked nice in my head, though.Well I tried adding the fin to the tail in some sort of creative manner, but in the end it sort of ended up just a fin. But I still like the way it looks better than the previous bolt. He still looks electric-y enough to me, what with the generators and the circuits, let alone the color scheme.
Still taking any last-minute advice before editing my Final Submission.

Keishinkae, I am in love with your design. Wonderful angles and expression, and that smile.. Just the color scheme is throwing me off. We've seen blue and yellow countless times in this thread, especially that dark blue. I think your design is one that could handle a different color scheme while still appearing Water/Electric, because of it's clear resemblance to a reptile. If you were to change the scheme from what it is now to Yellow and another bright color (pink, turquoise, etc), I would seriously consider you in the running for my vote, and I'm sure a few others would as well.The more I drew this the more I am falling in love with it..it has more personality than the gator thing, thats for sure!
