yeah, he's way to flat. he's supposed to be more like a little ball shape rather than a pancake.
the arms/hands need to be much, much bigger as well. look at the art here.
Image

his arms are pretty big realtive to his body size.
and the yellow should be a lot lighter as well based on this pic.
it also appears that you have left out the little "teeth" on his mouth shape. the eyes being uneven is also a little off putting as well.

Like this? Image

Are you sure that's elekids color? I've only seen that shade in Ken Sugimori's drawings and it's darker in the anime/games.Image
Actually elekid has had many different shades. http://pldh.net/dex/sprites/elekid#

The eyes are wider than the mouth in the pictures whereas it's the other way round for your model also the arms need to be bigger and the body rounder on the top and bottom as well as the sides,
Other than that this is coming along really well!

It is Good but i think it needs to be more fatter (the side) and the yellow needs to be more brighter and last thing the arms needs to be a little more bigger!
But beside that It is perfect :)

yes i understand that sugimori art is lighter than others, but it is much more pleasing to the eye when they are the colors i suggested. which is why sugimori choose the colors in the first place!

but please, the arms need to be bigger, and the body fatter.

OK, I'll make the arms larger and all but I still don't think that's the color. You see that's a drawing of elekid so it's only lighter in that one drawing (and sometimes other games). But right now he looks like a sick gopher :mrgreen:

i'll work on it. I'm also redoing the eyes because elekid is suppose to be a cute pokemon. And the mouth is screwed up so that will also be fixed as well .

Now that's a good Elekid, it looks fine to me. But maybe Karry's expert eye can see some wrong things in this that I can't...

I don't understand how you guys see this as round, I might just be stupid or blind, but still, it's just a block isn't it?
