Single post in Facebook/Twitter Art Contest #2

The best constructive critism I can offer applies not just to this contest, but to any contest IRL or online. If you're going to be salty - and even think that the top prize wouldn't be worth your time investment - then don't waste your time... That being said, your artwork was very close to being selected, but it was decided that with it being unclear what was going on with the gloved paws, and the other nearby Pokémon overcrowding it a bit, that we preferred entries that focused more on the Orkit itself. Also, I've never seen anything float in water in such a pose, so maybe that could use some work. We're not going to use your artwork. It was stated in the original post that only the first place piece is being used. We then requested special permission from the other two we wanted to showcase for their creativity. You don't need to worry about that, and in fact your specific denial of permission doesn't put you in a good light - we may even have to reject you from future contests out of concern you may "take back" permissions later. That's a mess we'd rather avoid.
