Cute chibi girl! 💕💕
I used to draw like this as a teen, being inspired by the cute, girly art and cartoons of the era (2000s- early 2010s).

A vaporeon study
Vaporeon is one of my favorite Pokémon. my first introduction to it was in pokemon red, where it looked like this:
(sprites from Red,Green and Blue)
So in my head, vaporeon looked like this:
It was also somewhat like this in the card game too:
with the neck frill and tail looking like soft goldfish fins, with a long snout, very elegant.
But the game's graphics evolved and Vaporeon changed to look more like the Ken Sugimori art. And eventually making the transition to 3D.
None of these redesigns are bad... but... the ear fins... oh the ear fins...
in the original sprite art, they actually looked like ears. and all my life I've been representing them in my art like this:
very pleasing to my eyes, but the reality is, they have never been represented to be like this in the games. That's fine, but what gen 6 did to its 3D model, to me, is murder!
Look at its ear!
Not only is it just a polygon with a flat texture hanging like a flag, if it wanted to represent an ear, it should have been facing the other way!!! like so:
It shouldn't, but this design "flaw" bothers me a lot!
and if we're talking about design, the neck frill looks a lot more like a firm fin now and not as soft, so it really should look like this instead:
It's a water creature, it needs to be hydrodynamic!
IDK folks, this is just my silly opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree with me but I'd love to know if it's just me who is bothered by this.
thanks for reading.
