ITS A MAROWAK THAT'S PREGNANT. NO TIME TO EXPLAIN.
 does it look like a marowak? does it look pregnant? does the pose look correct? I've been trying out new palettes lately, I wanna get into that brighter style kinda, how does this look?
unfortunately the scene is going to be at sunset, so I have to change the shading and colors.
what should I do to the palette for the adjust in time? and again at night?
and if you have any suggestions of your own, please share!
uhm.. thanks

You might try making her front leg straight, with all most of her weight on it, and her back leg bending backwards. I think it might look a bit more dynamic. Also, her front leg seems to connect to her pregnant belly? Think of bones.
[EDIT] The suggested change of pose would, of course, effect her whole body, not just her legs, in order to maintain balance. But you probably knew that already :D

Thanks for commenting, you rock hatch!
I dunno what you really meant, so I tried two things.
 Either look good?
EDIT: Rofl it's starting to look like a walk cycle >.< I hardly recognize you without your old avatar!

No. Who cares? I guess people are passionate about their pokemans though. feh.
[EDIT] Number 2 is more or less what I meant. I think that pose looks the most natural and suggestive of a walk.

Number 2 looks more pregnant.
But the top of the head is a bit rounder. Cubone has a skull on his head, but on marowak, that is actually it's head.
Maybe it would look more a marowak with the bone too.
And its belly has those stripes on it that I dont see on your picture.
And yeah, pokémon lay eggs :P

Old colors and simpler shading looked much better in my opinion. more in the pokemans style. and maybe keep that back leg one flat color? Looks too in-fronty now, like she's starting to curtsey.
Lastly, seems like the front leg should blend a bit more softly with the body. Looks too separated.

It's not just a random pixel, it's part of a story, so I have to keep the time of day, so I have to keep the colors and shading I'm going to use that palette for day time scenes, but this isn't day time.
 I have done a lot more on it, but I am still very willing to make changes still think the back foot should be solid colored?

oooh, that's lookin' sexy. I formally retract my complaints.
I'm undecided how I feel about the back leg :(
Someone else voice an opinion!

Shorten his furthest leg... it's longer then his closest one and it's bent. And somehow it's on the same part of the ground as his other foot? They are on the same row of pixels which is impossible.
I'm really liking the color of the helmet. Another nitpick is his BONE is wayyyyy too small.
