Gossip Girls

Description

For this one I wanted to draw some kind of interaction between my Pokemon that didn't involve Furret like always.  I also got an eyelashes brush so now they won't look so crappy until I get a tablet, kinda feels like I'm cheating though. ^^;  Ya know, out of all the things in this drawing, the thing that gives me the most trouble is Sylveon's ribbons.  I just don't know how to make them look flow-y, they always look bleh.
I wonder what these two are talking about...  They're probably talking about me behind my back. :paranoid: those bitches

Vision:
Overall I like the poses, however their faces look a little bit off to me..probably how fat the eye brow area looks over even the eyes themselves...? Also I feel like Sylveon's "ribbons" are a little on the flat side as well. My advice next time is to have one of them maybe circle around her from behind and instead of using her paw while whispering, she could use one of her other ribbons (seeing as how sometimes I have noticed Sylveon using them as appendages altogether; I don't know just a thought).

Originality:
I mean, I not a huge fan of gossip, so it didn't strike me that these two (especially given their typing) would be talking of gossip. Actually...I can sort of see it in Goodra, as she looks like she has pigtails in general. And plus a shiny Sylveon? Now I know she's a little full of herself <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>

Technique:
I like the coloring, once again the shiny sylveon does it for me. However, the shading seems a little off to me, particularly around sylveon's front paw. My advice would have to have the shading taper off and then also curve it a bit more so that it's given some dimension. Also with Sylveon, I will go back to using the ribbon rather than her paw while she's whispering, as I feel that paw seems like it's bent at such and odd angle. also her hind leg that is more towards us seems like it should be pulls forward a bit more.
Goodra seems fine overall, but I would say make her slime a little more joined with her...it seems like it's just floating there. I would also say when shading in the green areas to have light on top then darker on the bottom, that way there's a consistency of light source.
Another suggestion to give your drawing more life and depth, vary the thickness of the lines. Depending on the lighting, where the light hits would be thinner than say near areas lacking the light, where it would be thicker.

Impact:
I don't really feel anything about this piece really..probably because of the shading and how everything is angled, but I very much love the concept.
Keep up the good work! I hope I was able to give you some insight that could help you improve...? <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="357" title="Heart"/>
