Thank you for this pokemon challenge. It brought me so much nostalgia of watching pokemon on morning tv.
I really miss the time when all the world was nuts about was the Pokemon Go.
Here is as promised, Kingler the water based pokemon and its giant cookie.

Nice work @melC ! I love the texturing on his claws and the subtle depth of field is a nice touch! Thank you for giving us a render with the cookie too 👍👍👍
@theluthier Thank you for the feedback Kent. Yes a gradient would help the eyes. I spent the least time on the eyes and I guess it kinda shows. I will definitely revisit this character in the future!
Great work! Love the shell texture. The background is great also.
Wonderful work
melinmotion! You've done a great job authentically translating the cartoony elements of Kingler into 3D while also adding some appealing texture to the surface. The cookie is a great touch too 🍪
My only note: The eyes feel notably flat next to everything else about the pokemon. I'm not exactly sure what do do differently...if it's adding a gradient to emphasize the spherical nature...or if there's simply no reflection when it's needed...but figuring out how to unflatten this would be a slight improvement imo.
Overall fantastic work! 👏
This really looks amazing! I love the detail you put into it. Specifically the claws and the legs. I like how the top looks shiny and bottom almost looks like bone.
Now this is just awesome!
Crab guy looks so happy with his cookie!
I like the shell texturing, joints on the crab, and even the differently sized claws. The beach and waves look good too!
Really nice work!
This is so awesome!
