The picture gets across the idea of transformation very easily. It's clear what's happening, though not necessarily why. It could just be me, but curiosity really leaves much to be desired as far as explanation goes- what IS the thing, if it's not a masterball? Who put it there? Why does he turn into mewtwo, as opposed to another pokemon? Why does the ball cast a shadow that is not solid? At first I wasn't sure if the bulbous belly was significant to the meaning, but after a glance through your gallery, it seems to just be how you prefer to draw mewtwos.
All in all, I know it's just a contest entry, but what the piece could benefit from the most in my opinion would just be more context! Perhaps a background or a second character or even just a dialogue might help explain things a little better.
But this is just me, coming from the background of story-writing. Composition-wise, it's well balanced and leads the eye expertly from one end to the other. The perspective on the table in the first "panel" is a little off, but nothing too serious. Again, the proportions aren't in alignment with my personal preference, with the head, stomach and toes being too big, but we all have our different ways of drawing mewtwo.

This picture pleasantly surprised me. It has humor subtly drawn into parts, offers an easily understood transformation per the requirements, and most importantly to me at least, contains a well-drawn Mewtwo with correct anatomy. It’s amazing how easily Mewtwo anatomy can be done terribly wrong. In a transformation piece where a human is changing into a Mewtwo getting the anatomy correct is even more difficult, but this picture gets things right. For example, this correctly shows the Mewtwo’s legs are to the sides of the stomach, not beneath the stomach. Also shown correctly is the unintuitive way the legs bend. I like artists that pay attention to those details. The different poses and perspectives drawn do well to help keep things from becoming bland. The glowing effect contrasts nicely with the cell shading used. My only criticism would be the jagged style lines instead of smooth curved lines. The only thing in the picture with a straight line is the table holding the master ball. But I can understand that being the artist’s style. Either way, this is a nicely drawn picture.

It might be the only entry, but as an entry it deserves proper thoughts from the judging staff. Here be mine.
I've been on the site pretty much as long as you have, I believe. And in that time I've seen your quality of work gradually improve from picture to picture. This piece, however, is a step and more above anything I've seen you create in the past.
The detail is much better. The body design is much better. The faces are much better. Especially the actual transformation scene in the middle of the piece, where you do a very nice job of blending the mewtwo traits with the human ones, and show them in transition.
In short, I'm very impressed that you put this level of work into the competition, and I hope that as an artist you keep that level of focus and effort up to improve even more.
The critique I'd offer as constructive criticism would be:
Work on getting smoother lines and body shapes. Try to make things look less rough or ungainly. It's a common trend I've seen in your work, and it's present in this piece too; like in Ash's unusual foot placement in the upper left scene, and unusual expressions in both scenes on the left side. Things that could be presented spot on are things I tend to see you either exaggerate or skew. Try maybe some more traditional posing done with anthro and human characters, or some more dynamic and motion-based poses.
That critique aside, it's a wonderful piece, and thank you for the submission!
