As a pokemon fan myself, I think this is very well put together. It's clear that you were going for the classic cardboard cutout texture and theme on this project as well as using the basic colors originally used in the original horsea on the actual television series. But the trait that made this picture stand out for me was how much it resembles the original horsea style drawn on the classic trading cards they sold. Overall I feel like this was very well executed and was clearly sent in the direction the artist wanted it to go. Absolutely loved it in general.

A lot of the pictures of Horsea make it look kind of odd looking with a skinny mouth whereas others make it too cute looking. I decided to kind of go with a mix of both I guess haha. But thank you

Wonderful color choice, the brown really brings out the blue of the Horsea, and the red in the eyes. The different shades of the color appear to be perfect, and have the right amount of white and/or black anded to them.

The line work is well crafted and appear to be constant. The way the lines move in this piece create a lovely curve which mimics the positioning of the Horsea. This Curving layer really makes the image pop and interesting, because it makes it appear dynamic.

The texture you've put in the image makes it appear like a print, which is a beautiful affect and is only amplified by the way you did the shading in this piece. Both of these things work together to really make the viewers look at it to see what the median is. By making the viewer really work by thinking about the piece is a wonderful achievement.

Also the way you have the Horsea extending beyond the border you've created was a wonderful idea. Although a smaller version of this, where you can see the whole image, would generally be more accepted, i feel that this way only is more creative, and emphasizes the movement even more.

Overall, this is an incredible piece, that mimics traditional art, but is in fact digitally crafted. It has wonderful flowing lines, and a brilliant color choice. A creative take on the border as well as the point of focus, this is a well crafted work of art.
