Pokemon #27 - Mega Venusaur + mini

Since I made Mega Charizard X/Y, I figured I should make the mega evolutions for the other Gen1 starters, starting with Mega Venusaur! 
Hardest part was deciding whether I should go with the brighter/stronger pinks for the flowers (which I personally like), as opposed to a more bright/pastel reddish combined with with blush and hot coral. Figured I should stick with what I like best, so went with the pink ones. Other than that, I think my color choices are pretty spot on. Nice difference in colors for the leaves and the turquoise skin has nice shading!

Sprite used as base and for color inspiration is combination between Gardow's on DeviantArt: gardow.deviantart.com/art/Mega… and this one from birdiestitching (website): www.birdiestitching.com/birdie…
The mini-sprite can be found all over the internet, but I found mine on spriters-resource here: www.spriters-resource.com/full…
The base plate is an altered/modified version of background plant sprites done by neoriceisgood on DeviantArt: neoriceisgood.deviantart.com/a…
