Updated:Need an opinion on a custom pokemon sprite

Hey everyone.  This is my first freehand Pokemon sprite and I just want an opinion from the community.  I've had this idea for a while and don't know if there is anything to add or if I should just leave it as it is.  It is an evolution chain.  I don't have names for them currently, and I'm open to any and all ideas.

Note: they are not shaded like traditional sprites

Type: Fire/Ice


Updated:


The issue I have with the first sprite is that I can't decided whether or not to keep the flames.  I like both equally.  Opinions?

I don't have any issues with the second sprite.  I like this one a lot, but I'm always open to new ideas.

I can post more information about them if it helps generate ideas, but I'm more focused on the design at the moment.

That looks really cool.
With the first sprite keep the flames, adds more interest and makes the whole ice/fire type complete otherwise it would look like ice/rock.

I think the one with the flames better completes the fiery ice look. And both evolution forms look very nice. If I'm going to nitpick the second form though, I'd say there's too much of a black outline on the ice. In some places it looks fine, like on the torso near and around the rocks. But near the flames, it doesn't look right, at least to me. I'd suggest using a dark blue instead of the black. And just the tips would be fine, and blend to blue into the black near the head and rocks to make a nice transition. Other than that, they look great! ^^

I suggest shade the black rock parts on both otherwise keep the flames

Yeah. Also, the shading of the ice on the evolution looks somewhat pillowshady, if that makes sense. It could also be that it looks more like packed snow then solid ice, which in that case the color palette would need a slight tweaking.
