I'll write a quick one before I start my LoL game.
There's two things that stand out the most in this piece and it's the sandshrew and the sandstorm. The effect and the way you presented the sandstorm is quite spot on, I think, and on that note, so is the shading theme. [Take note the shadow on the ground for either individuals]
Next thing of positive note is the expression, which is also well-captured. You can obviously see the pokemon is content being in the sandstorm, as that's pretty much what it's used to. On the other hand, its trainer should've brought a veil. You can see he regrets not bringing one through his one-eyed frown.
Something to keep in mind; while there are some parts of a sandstorm that have blank spots, [i.e.: next to the trainer's face]
I think the direction [really minor! But I gotta nitpick at it to balance it out] of the brush makes it look like there's something in the trainer's back sucking the sand up. I'm probably missing something, but if I'm right, the negative space of the sandstorm should be horizontal, not vertical.
That's it for my critique. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Lick)"/>

I have to study sandstorms more now ;_; lolol Yeah, I didn't even notice how empty it looked behind him, unless he's just really fat from a different angle, blocking the sand from showing up behind him ;D Hahaha. Still not sure what you meant about the horizontal v vertical part, I'm wrapping my brain around that one, but I'm sure you're right Q_Q
I did end up erasing a lot of it around his face and the sandshrew D: only because I thought it blocked out what I wanted to show, but I could have thrown in some dusty lines too >_> Haha~
Thank you so much! :'3 Best critique I've had in a long time. You're very good at it (make me notice things I didn't see, CURSE YOU.) <3
On an additional note, you should add me on league XD I'm "Lizella" on there (it's addicting).

Is that a Sandshrew? That is my all-time favorite Pokemon. I have officially crowned you the unnofficial artist of win. Such a title is not handed out every day, I kid you not.
Win. <3
