it was too water for that one CAP.
user Keishinkae did this and I like it a lot and seems to go along with supporting material.

Hooray! Your stellar design for CAP 8 is back! Plus, now there won't be dumb comments such as "That looks like a platypus bear, not an Electric Dragon" Right now, the art design doesn't need to be tweaked much, if at all. Right now, I think what you need to win over voters is some supporting material for this guy, so we can picture how he can counter anything in OU, but not everything.
CyzirVisheen: Your reverse Angler Fish is definitely one of the most creative art concepts yet. And that's saying something, because there are a
lot of unique concepts going 'round. Unlike kopien, I don't think it looks mechanical at all. I'd love to see this pokemon in color!
Keishinkae: Lightning gharial is another great concept. Right now, both the art design, and the supporting material is fantastic! I don't see anything that needs to be changed, so continue to roll with this design, and color it!
InHell 13: That's an incredibly creative concept, and design, but the color scheme looks
way too much like Plusle & Minun. Change the color scheme, and we'll have another amazing art design for CAP 10!
Aviator99: The core concept is very cool, and the supporting material is very well done, but the actual art design is lacking... pizazz? It looks like a real life sword fish with lightning bolts for fins, rather than an electric pocket monster based on a sword fish. Look at
Sharpedo's art design. Although it's without a doubt based on a shark, it also doesn't look like one in real life, since it also shares elements with torpedoes. Since your design is not only based on swordfish, but also lighting rods, you should spice up your design. Perhaps you can add more lightning rod elements, or take off his gills. (There are plenty of fish Pokemon without gills.) But as I said before, your concept is cool, and your supporting material is polished, so continue working on this design, and I know you can make it better!
I hope these criticisms help!
