I know it's been three days since I've placed judgment on this post, but I was too busy with drawing to get around to it. Thankfully, now's the time I truly judge it for what it is:
Technique - 9/10. It looks almost exactly like it's anime counterpart! I wish the neck floof was a bit bigger, but I guess that's just my tastes.
Quality - 8/10. Not bad! Though, the shading of Flareon's fur kind of reminds me of a technique I used to do on NovaSkin to make "metallic" objects (See this crappy Magikarp skin I made a few years back). At least it's got a "flaming" look to it's fur, which is a nice touch.
Functionality - 9/10. I could definitely see somebody playing around this skin on a Minecraft server! Unfortunately, it's a 1.8+ skin, but that's only a nitpick because it wouldn't look as pretty without the 64x64 skin model.
