Gotta' say, Hoogic is probably my favorite design of yours. I have a soft spot for weird and unusual Pokémon, something that I see Hoogic as. Another soft spot of mine is Pokémon with big noses, I have no clue why, but I blame the fact that I'm like 12.5% Jewish (huehuehue). Hoogic is also a nice design because it's not empty to look at, but it's not overdesigned and cluttered. This is mainly because of the star on its stomach, because had it not been there, Hoogic would be a bit more boring to the eyes. Granted, its color-scheme isn't really something to write home about since there are a bit too many dull colors. I personally think that the color scheme it has in its Gen II-style sprite is much more fitting.

thank you!! I used to think that my designs' color schemes were too vibrant so I tried to tone them down a bit--but this design is old!!

Well, you know what they say, old, but still gold.
And I can see where you're coming from, coloring can be one big hassle! I recently designed a three-stage fakemon line and tried to color them in complememtary colors. The results were good for the basic stage, but the evolved forms looked kind of garish.

balance is the biggest problem. I try to use what ive learned from official generation-color schemes but idk. I have a new owl that I like a lot better, much more original!!

That's a good way to do it, actually. I usually feel like the eyes of my fakemon are a bit too "out there" in regards of style, so I often find myself looking at eyes of different Pokémon.
Oooohh, I do enjoy owls in general, so that sounds like a treat.
