Not too badly done. But they seem to have come out quite blocky. I had no
idea Bulbasur's body was that square. :-) Also, he should have a little
red spot on the top of his flower.
I'm also quite sure Pikachu's stripes on his back are the same color as his
cheek sacks, red. However, there's no back angle to see of your model of
him yet. :o)
