>>32511158Thanks! It's a fine line making these "early gen" styles.
>>32508361Here's Golurk. This one may see some more opposition than Excadrill, but I'll try to rationalize my thinking again.
Obviously, there's a lot of details here, but most serve a purpose. The crack shows its internal energy which the seal is meant to contain -- obviously a large part of Golurk's design, so those stay. The bangles are another part of the design which look nice, and removing them would be to the detriment of the revision.
Therefore, I simplified where I could: the squiggles on its hands and shoulders (which also apparently show the Pokemon's internal energy). Considering the chest crack/seal are a fine example of the leaking of energy, I didn't see a need for the other four squiggles. A change which will meet some critique, I'm sure, but hopefully my reasoning makes sense.
Otherwise, I made a slight change to the color -- I sampled from a screenshot on Bulbapedia, making it a little less saturated.
