Pocket Island: Nepenthes Levelling

to purify my little danger noodle, he's gonna need some levels!

I try to experiment with colouring and drawing styles with my pocket island stuff- I figure if I'm semi-forced to draw (like if I want to purify a shadow pokemon for a group) it should be an opportunity to practice! That said, I'm actually not super happy with how this came out: I don't think there's enough variation in saturation going on looking back at it, and that the 'shadow' effect on bellsprout could have used more transparency or a texture layer or something like that. Trying to figure out what you did wrong- That's part of what experimentation is for though, right? 

Levels gained:

4(fullbody+3 shaded+3 detailed bg+3) + 2(fullbody+3 shaded+3 simple bg+2) = +52 levels, taking Nepenthes up to level 58
