I personally think the second one is the best of two because it looks less busy. Are you going to be making it a like a darker colour scheme so it's not too busy on the playmat? I'm currently seeing it as this orange-glow sunset :3
My tablet is acting up so I went back to pencil sketching for a little bit. I have ink pens but I'm dying to work with darker lines that I can quickly scribble down and easily get rid of. Hopefully this thing will start working like normal soon.
Here are some progress shots of some armour I was sketching while I was taking breaks from other stuff.
It was a long time, that I came here on this thread, because I was busy with deviantart [still] and posting also my fakemon in my thread on here hehe.
great work Delta!
