Awesome shading =)

 You could have at least made some sorta texture in the extra bits :p

The warm light from behind makes this really stand out. B)

 You totally can keep working this piece in time for the challenge! I see this as an ape holding two bunches of bananas.. Would make for a neat color palette too perhaps?

No it's Jigglypuff

You should have gone further. It is a great piece!

I love the reflected light right after the core shadows and the colour scheme you used.. cool warm works so damn fine.  :)

 Is that Blastoise?

- Wow! -

Possibly a club with a nail and a tail or fin for the back. Either way, this is extremely cool .
