Description I drew Alakazam for the pokedex collaboration at

Here is my favorite pokemon of all Alakazam. There would be a psychic aura around the spoons but I cant make the background transparent without it looking really stupid.

For some reason his lower half seems out of place to me o.o

Alakazam belongs to Nintendo

Alakazam is a really awesome Pokemon. I like his two psychic spoons. In SoulSilver, I have an Alakazam named Circe, and she's pretty cool.

It is really awesome, it has so much potential yet I rarely see anyone use it.

That's the good news. The bad news is they need to be traded to evolve. (The Kadabras)

I should point out I got my wires crossed. Alakazam is LIGHTER than Kadabra; Gengar is the one that's shorter than its pre-evolution.

Alakazam can be hard to draw, as it doesn't really have a physique per se; it's quite scrawny. It is an awesome Pokemon, however; but it's also shorter than Kadabra and loses the tail.

Great work! Alakazam is one of my favorites, as well. ^^

Great pose! The fluff on his face looks nice and soft.

The only constructive crit I have to offer, is that the lower half of his body looks a little too long. His upper half is wonderful! But the lower is supposed to come down in kind of a V type shape. I can't explain it. XD His left arm [with the spoons! Awesome concept to have him manipulating them ^^] looks a little short. Unless it were bent back, of course.

Over all, he's so adorable! You got his other proportions correct, it looks like. I have difficulty always making his arms the correct length. ughhh. evil 'Zam!

I've never seen an Alakazam look so cute and huggable! I just want to squishim and take him home. Yet again, great work!!

As for making the spoons glowy, I have a suggestion. If you have Paint Shop Pro 7, make sure the image is already transparent. Make a layer under the spoons, add your glow. Make another on top, so you can add glow over them in parts if you'd like. Don't save yet!!

Go to Export, select the GIF option, there should be something on there about optimizing, transparency, whatever. I can't remember. o.<; choose your file name, save, upload!! It might not work, but if it does, hooray! If not, boo. Hope I helped XD

Those are great tips! And as for Alakazam I do see what your saying >.< He doesn't have easy anatomy thats for sure! maybe thats why Alakazam doesn't show up often in the Anime lol

I'm so happy you didn't take that the wrong way! I'm always so terrified of offering constructive crit, because I'm not the best with words. XD -flails-

And you're right! Probably why he doesn't show up as often as I'd like -sad- Seems like all the epic Pokies are always the most difficult to draw. Or is that just me? XD
