Creating a fakemon from scratch animation

This is the process behind Glycegulp's creation. Starting with basic(if ugly) line art in MS Paint and using references from Electabuzz, Vileplume, Haunter, Sharpedo, and finally Electrivire to assist in palette as well as shading and shaping throughout, Glycegulp gradually took form and changed from a dual electric/poison typing to a purely electric typing. I'd initially planned for Glycegulp's pose to be one of breaching the surface, hence the upside down frames earlier on before I rotated right-side up and found the effect to be far more appealing. The gray/golden circle pattern on the belly was my attempt at representing a bio-hazard seal, after which I eventually decided upon creating the same striping pattern which Electrivire has down its belly.

In all this process took me about a six days, with three days dedicated to the initial design(which was initially finalized with the dark gray belly) and then about another three to revise and settle upon the final appearance.
8/15: Went ahead and rotated the early line art through coloration panes so that they line up with the flip I'd originally made during the designing process.
