Also, hope Gallade-Brittany doesn't mind, hi! Animation Associate here, LO, hello!
You are seriously damaging your wife's art skills, and I can tell, even without following your wife's posts. Her artwork deteriorates every single time I see it!
The proportions of EVERY piece MO draws is OFF by a large margin! Hell, look at the two images you posted in your initial response to your anon (we know it is your anon, Lily. TURN THEM OFF ENTIRELY OR STOP SENDING YOURSELF ASKS. PICK ONE.) - the body proportions mimic that of someone who is learning how to draw fucking anime styled characters. Even the most recent one!
Her use of linework varies without common thought, as displayed here (one element of the recent artwork looks like it is traced from Crowne Prince's HGS thumbnail but that could very likely be the thick lineart in comparison to every other piece of the piece), and the green witch character (I don't know her name) is out of proportion entirely, in comparison to the Henchwoman character right behind her. Your SI Gardevoir (lets be honest, that is EXACTLY what G is) and your Comic counterpart are so outta proportion that it makes my eyes bleed. G's head is way too damn big for her body (not too sure how tall they are in Pokemon's canon in comparison to humans), and C!LO is drawn off model every time cuz big boobs, tiny waist is the rule you established (we all seen the stream where you demanded MO to draw your rantsona with a skinny waist and giant breasts. Don't pretend it doesn't exist) must be followed. Hell, her commission work is also shit!
The character is outta proportion in an uncanny way, which makes the likes of BUTCH HARTMAN FUCKING BLUSH. And that guy actively scams people over $200 for a terrible art piece.
Also, let's talk about the shading and lighting here, shall we? That barely exists in your wife's pieces. You have the base colors and then a dark hue of said colors. There is barely any sensible lighting, when there is, it is such shit and doesn't mesh well.
For context, here are some pieces of my own work before and after rendering:

Apologizes for FrostBlazer, this is the only piece that has a flat color and finished example in my files. My other WIPs are in .MDP and I can't really pull them up like .PNGs or .JPEGs.
Simple shading and simple lighting with a less than stellar background.
I know your wife can produce high quality artwork! We have seen it in the past. But your rule of half-assing and "Only listen to me, Mikay - Me, the one who doesn't know jack shit about art" is actively damaging her skills and I can only see it faulter further and further the more you request this sort of laziness from her!

aww, i'm not the Brittany Gallade Stalker anymore? guys, i lost one of my titles. i don't know who i'm anymore! as long i'm still one Brittany then i guess i'll be fine... but also... i hope i don't have to tell people to not go bringing up my posts to LO. not because i mind she responding, i know she'll anyway if she feels like posturing about something, but because i have said many times before to not interact with her, period, just to see a reaction out of her. i encourage people to not interact with her at all. the whole point of this blog is to spread awareness about her and deplatforming her. i can't do that if people just keep validating her platform by going to interact with her. plus, we all know she'll only use it as more fuel for her own victim narrative so, really, why would you want that? i know it's possible that LO send herself that message, but just in case i want that said: don't interact with LO. don't watch her videos directly, don't try to get a response out of her. moving on... who is going to tell LO that this the very first time she openly talked positively about the art of her wife? (it's rethoric, don't actually do that). by that i mean, she just uses the art of MO, whines in stream about how MO isn't drawing pokemadhouse fast enough, whines about how she has a life that impides her being exploited even more and talks about how many more fanart she'll keep ezqueezing out of her.
oh, and i'm meant to assume that the quality of her art has nothing to do with why you aren't showing your avatar anymore in any of your videos?
those two pieces of art are actually an example of the kind of problem that people do notice with MO. when she's doing things fast enough for you not to whine about it and churning out as many fanart as you want, it looks rushed. it looks unfinished and halfassed because you constantly tell her to make art that way. that can't be healthy for any creative person, just about in general. the fact that she's not even being paid for it speaks badly of you as a partner and a boss. that's not me saying it, it's a fact. one piece of art here and there is just a perk of having an artist as a partner, but you very much has abused that by having MO making entire animatic, multiple visuals for videos, an entire webcomic that you want fully coloured, animatic for that webcomic and all without any paid at all. but when MO can have all the time of the world and there's no wife telling her to forgot anatomy, it looks just so much better. for one, the color choices for the character designs are miles better than whatever is that you're asking her to do for your OCs. there's more flare, life and drama in that one picture of the green character that has ever been in all of pokemadhouse. i don't know why you won't just let her dress saige with something nice for once.
i literally said that MO on her own is a decent enough artist. funny enough, that's the one point that all critical blogs agree on. it's really quite transparent the kind of gasligting you're doing when people can clearly see me saying as much in that message, but still choose to present it otherwise and just ignoring entirely the rest of the point. your constant request for art from her and telling her to halfass it to make it as quickly as possible are my issue. a seasoned artist can do with a quick workflow because they know what they're doing, but MO is not there yet. so all you're really doing by using her like a slot machine for more art and fanart with your weird ideas of "right proportions" is keeping her away from actually learning. for the record too: i call you LO because Lizzy and Courtney, with Lizzy's blessing, wear the last name Orchard better than you. we went over this already.
