I don't like the new Jolteon for instance, simply because i don't want to see its backside! I don't know what was the intention of that but it's my favourite eevolution and I want to see its face, not its behind! :oops:
Not everyone complained that time IIRC. And look at Flaaffy. It mainly shows its backside, but who complained? :roll:

-#81 Magnemite
Definitely the worst one. The perspective makes the body even bigger, so the focus is even more drawn to that way too large eye...looks like something that escaped from a bad horror movie. Disgusting...

-#151 Mew
Cute. A little chubby maybe, probably because it is so small - the tail takes the biggest part of the picture.

-#150 Mewtwo
Really cool one. I love the idea of having it shown during attack.
Maybe it really is a little unproportinal (at least the arms), but I don't mind that. I like it.

-#155 Cyndaquil
Twee! It looks so happy and contend and I just want to cuddle it.
A bit naked without its flames though. Maybe that could be done in a different way with the evolutions.

-#53 Persian
Amazing. It has much of a lion, showing so much charakter - lying there, so composed and majestic...I love it.

-#152 Chikorita
Oops? It's showing a completly new charakter now. Before it just looked cute and happy and playful. And now it's proud and elegant and looks like a real Diva. I would never have expected that, but I like it a lot. Way more graceful. I only hope I will never get a male one, I would probably laugh at it all the time.


All in all a really good job (just that Magnemite...). You can always find smaller mistakes in proportion or perspective or something when you're looking for it, but that's just niggling. I like the stile.

Maybe I'm only imagining that, but don't most of the new ones look much smaller than before?
Probably that is part of Nautilus' stile: there are often details shown in a way that leaves less space for the whole - and that's a real pity because the smaller it gets the less details can be seen.
Maybe it's worth thinking about that for the next ones ;)

The most of them are really good, but I don't like the new Mew, because he looks to fat. I miss the old Mew or could we get another?

I love the new drawings. Mew looks a little bit strange but I won't complain because awesome Mewtwo and Persian and very cute Cyndaquil, Chikorita and Magnemite make up for it x3

..After staring at least two hours at them, complaining and babbling about them, I will accept the fact, that the old pictures won't return anymore.
Hmm.
I DO like the new Artworks and I think Nautilus is doing great.
But.. I think that the eyes of all Pokémon Nautilus drew for the update now..are just way tooooo big. +_+
I won't complain about the colors or the poses. I actually like them.
But they eyes, especially Mew and Magnemite..
they are just too big in my opinion.

I don't want to see Ditto with these eyes. XDD
But anyway.
I do hope that stef will find other artists soon. <3
I want to have many different styles and artists! Jup, jup.

A little thing on the new Mew...

The perspective seems a lil bit off, the right eye is compares to the left one way to small.. yes its farther back but I think even with everything considered the right eye would have to be a lil bit bigger o.O

no offense but i think the new artworks are ugly....Mew looked so cute, i don't get why new artworks are changed and the old Sugimori artworks aren't redrawn....

no offense but this is my point of view....

Usually, when you feel you should add "no offense" to your post, you should actually think over posting the exact same message. And as you can see, it all depends on your taste, since I am encountering different points of view on the new artworks.

I stated multiple times why the artworks are getting changed.

To me, the mew's head doesn't look right, like it's too small or at the wrong angle. But it's very good overall!
I'm loving the new cyndaquil, it's very cute. I'm not bothered about it not having fire on it's back.
Chikorita looks strong and proud. The mouth is slightly tilted up at the ends so it looks like it's smiling. I quite like it!
Mewtwo looks very different. It' hard for me to compare them, but I do like the new style.
I haven't seen the old versions of the others
but the new version of jolteon looks good!
Magnemite could do with a slightly smaller eye, but I like the way it's posing, like it needs as hug as someone has already stated!
Persion looks like a very regal cat, proud and expensive! Very nice!

:D Well, that's my opinions! :D

Why do people want old art back? i know it's ahrd to get used to it, but i even HATE the art, not that im saying it cause im like defending nautilus or soemthing, but in my oppinion the old art looks old....dark... Nautilus colors so that it looks fresh, light, and new!

Stop what? What is cruel about Mew, and Mewtwo? I like both of them, and there are people liking them as well. Are you implying that I am wrong?

I think we are better off with art that Stef and VA 'owns' regardless of which looks better.

The old ones, like Stef said over and over, are only 'borrowed' and technically can be taken away at any time, then we'd pretty much lose VA for a long while.

Priority must be getting all of them redrawn, then worry about 'tweaks' later.
