Seeing as I have become accustomed to scattering superfluous critiques across older works, I suppose writing on this wouldn't be too difficult. For starters, I do admire the way you make movie related things with a Christian Bale-esque element incorporated in them. The reason I say this, is it instills an action vibe while having a still and tranquil motion to it. After reading the actual story some, 6 or 7 months ago on the RWP forums, I got to know the true meaning of this title when used as an antithesis to "Alone". The journey, while not going TOO in detail, does in fact cover the isolation of several likeable characters discovering, that in spite of what was accomplished prior, they may not be as 'alone' as they think. Through the powers of friendship and faith (Though I would prefer canons and explosives) they overcome any obstacles in their path eventually discovering just how far they could make it. How does this relate to the art? Well a normal (Albeit uncultured) person would look at this and see a Pokémon with the word united severed through it's gut, anyone who has read the story shall experience an overwhelming surge of emotion. It works as a great cover for the story itself and is a fantastic summary of what is to be expected. Or maybe I'm just insane and that's not what you're asking for, so just looking at this from a dulled down point of view WITHOUT the whole 2deep4u feces. For starters, this is still a pretty good piece just not as much when merely a standalone. It's almost like reading Hamlet and then hastily skipping to Alas poor yorick. You still understand that it's brilliant and Shakespearian in quality, (Something I always admire) but it does not give you the same intended effect as seeing everything. Being a perfectionist, the first thing that caught my attention was the two prolonged sharp claw-like edges on his knees. I can't say this without being hypocritical, but they look more like Dewott's whiskers. It was a good attempt while you were an aspiring artist, but looking back, they aren't the best. Not good, not bad, just can be better. As for the face, the eyes should be a little farther back almost connected to the turbine-like features. The mouth is a tad bit too Easter egg-esque and round, as the snout needs to stick out a little bit, and, I'll give you credit it is partially your style, but the legs make him appear slightly obese. His arms are the last thing I see 'off', being positioned that low makes his head appear almost too erect to a Watchog stance. Aside from these minor errors, you did a great job on this piece Not sure if you requested a critique on this as a stand alone, or incorporated with the story and since there were no other critiques, it wasn't very easy to differentiate. But with the story it's superb, standing alone...eh...7/10? Maybe 8/10 if we're feeling generous. Either way, it was definitely above what I expect on average and a great piece nonetheless.
