I have a personal story with the Chespin family, too. I was really neutral about Chespin when he was announced, but when I saw Quilladin, I was deeply appalled and very disappointed. All my hope for his family was gone and I didn't expect anything great for his final design. Quilladin was the dumbest looking Pokemon I'd ever seen, I hated him. When Chesnaught was leaked, my breath was taken away. Chesnaught, although unexpected, as far as I'm concerned is the most redeeming Pokemon evolution I've ever seen, even more so than Magicarp into Gyarados because Magicarp's pathetic characteristics make it very apparent that he'll have some sort of redeeming quality later. Chespin however had nothing going for him, in my opinion, he just seemed like the kind of starter that I'd use until I get better Pokemon to replace him, which is how I feel about all the gen 4 starters.
But, then Chesnaught appeared on the internet and immediately took the place of my favorite Pokemon ever. I eventually really began to warm-up to the whole Chespin family as I noticed how precious Chespin's face is. I even warmed-up to Qualladin, he's still my least favorite of the three, but I see his potential and appreciate him now. I love the Chespin family, and I really hope to make a great cosplay costume of Chesnaught one day.
Seeing the changes you made, if the original looked like your version, I bet I'd still think the same thing.
Anyway, I like the composition of this piece. Good job. :thumbsup:

such an interesting and right point with magikarp...

And yes, chespin face is precious, but for me quilladin has even better because of cool hairstyle :XD:

Quilladin is cool, I really like his name, too.
Oh my goodness, really? I haven't seen any chesnaught cosplays yet. But, I just did a google image search for "chesnaught cosplay" and saw a not very good one (at least by my standards).

I searched on Deviantart and yes, there's only one, but it's not bad :)
