Description
Wanted to go on with some drawings today, but it seems it's one of those days I can't draw anything to save my life. 
So have some pixel art instead!
Cradily. In gen 3 I always thought it looked kinda dumb with those "teeth" until I saw it in Colosseum and noticed these things are it's eyes. I found it interesting since then and wanted to train one since gen 4, but I never did until a few days ago. And I have never been more impressed by any other Pokémon before!
Not too fond of the outcome, but meh. Might go over it again if I feel like it, so feel free to leave critique.

Wow, I love the vivid colors! I never really thought of Cradily as being shiny (texture-wise haha) nor having a metallic neck, but I do like your interpretation. And your palettes are fantastic. The tiny highlights and careful use of shadows for contouring are honestly a delight to let my eyes wander over. Very good use of dithering, too. Great job! 
As for critique, with the shiny version, I feel like the colors of the "petal's" shadows are too similar. The color difference between the tip and rest of the petal/tentacle/tendril/????/whatever is only clear on the top three; the bottom three look mostly the same coral color. Also, the one with the most foreshortening just looks a little off. Perhaps it would look better if the foremost part of it was angled down a bit more? Alternatively, you could try making that part a bit shorter and wider. Just a couple pixels wider would do quite well, methinks.
Looking at the other comments; I'm surprised at how many other people didn't realize those were the eyes! xD It was pretty obvious to me, haha.
