First off it looks really good overall. You got the colors the eye and teeth are great. One critique as a fellow vector artist, is the transition between spikes and non spike. it looks too flat. Next time try playing around with adding strokes of different widths and darknesses in order to give it more depth. Also, the legs on his right side are awkward. The front leg looks more like a back leg the back leg should have been brought forward a little more.
For the shadows try layering different shapes to add more depth again. Remember blend modes and opacity e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>. Final critique is to try either a feather or blur effect on the shadows to soften them. It makes vectors look even better.

I still love your Jolteon and since it's one of my favorites I am more critical. Keep it up and you'll keep improving. Look for tutorials they can take your skills to the next level!

This looks pretty good. It is shaded pretty well and the coloring is spot on. However there are some improvements you can make:

First off the spikes on the tail are a little uneven as in there should be a couple more of them to the right side. The back legs are also in different positions and in my opinion this makes it look a little awkward as if it were limping. The teeth are also a bit to dull.

Overall this is a pretty good piece of vector art. It shows Jolteon in a battle stances and stands out right away to a viewer e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Thanks ~Crimson-Oath, for your positive feedback

I couldn't tell too good, because the original picture from the show was really blurry, so I've decided to take a guess, of Jolteon could look like in that pose

You see, I vector trace, and I only do that because I love to see the character without any of the background behind it

I first started vector tracing ever since Friendship is magic erupted like a volcano, and I saw that other people were teaching others on both Youtube, and deviantart, on how to vector trace, so I've decided to try that out, and BOY! I can't vector trace ponies worth a dime

Out of over 50 vectors of ponies, only two were great.

The only vectors that I've did so well was Pokemon, namely Raichu, I've vectored around seven of em

I've vectored two versions of Vulpix, one vector of Glaceon, around 32 vectors of Fennekin, only five where even worth it, two vectors of Umbreon, the first vector was taken down because somebody on here had forced me to take it down, and a few vectors of Pikachu, Raichu is my most popular vector that I've did, next to Apple Bloom

yeah i saw some of your raichu vectors and they were pretty awesome. do a typhlosion vector next if you can. you can find a good typhlosion picture in the thunder chronicle saga. typhlosion is my favorite pokemon and i keep hoping that ash's quilava will evolve or at least dawn quilava since a typhlosion has never been featured in the main show

I really like this, but I don't know what a "Vector" is, so I may not be accurate. Shading is perfect on it, and it looks a lot like the real thing. You got the spiky hair/fur greatly and the stance is great. I also noticed how the teeth are alined, it's like the Jolteon is ready to destroy anything it can find or see. Uhm, I don't know much more to say, but that this is really good, and it diserves 3 stars. Don't know this is what your looking for, because I don't know what a "Vector" is. Good luck.

Thanks ~Rising-Fang, for your positive feedback

A vector is, let's say you've wanted to vector a pop can, all you have to do is, draw two circles, one for the top, and the other for the bottom, then you draw the cylinder from the top circle, to the bottom circle, then you draw the details, names, logos, etc, that's all vectoring really is, your just making stuff out of shapes

Oh...then in that case, Amazing! xD. That is really hard to draw for me at least, so I defiantly think you did great.

It's a good start to improving your style of Jolteon.
