[DKC2 Mine Drop]

IThe lighting from the bulbs and crystals are really the highlight of this. Good work!

ToonCastleTV responds:

Haha thanks. funny how small things can make or break a picture :)

[:KOCO:Rosty Galo!]

The proportions are a bit odd, but it fits this stylized version of Johnny Bravo (judging by the tags) or could just be an art style thing. The shading on the clothes looks nice.

[Find Soul]

I'm not really into the more abstract side of art, but I do see a lot of effort, style, and quality in this scene you're presenting. The small details on all these different parts look great.

[DRAW OF THE ZOMBIS:ULTIMATUM]

I'm a bit confused on how this guy's work is showing up in the public art portal while it says this guy isn't scouted. I take it he's gotten removed, and it doesn't remove the pieces already submitted?

The overwhelming feeling of MS paint basic drawing really makes this too simple to present to the community. I'll just hope you eventually pick up some practice and submit great stuff someday.

[Falling DNA bro]

The idea behind this seems a bit too abstract to me, and the tags don't really point to anything. Maybe a description would help?

As far as the illustration, I like the cloud detail, and the shading on the falling person looks good, although the dimension or perspective seems a bit off to me. The double helix in the back has good coloring.

ZabuJard responds:

thansk man. yeah the tags are completely irrelevant lol

[Exhale]

If these are your dreams, I just hope you're doing okay! It makes for a nice bit of social commentary in pixel art, at least.

maemaemae responds:

Luckily, they have stopped for now, but thank you. :D

[Things are Fu**'d up]

Seems like pen lineart with colored pencils to finish? Interesting subject matter - it's got that psychological childhood freakiness that fits with stuff like the Binding of Isaac.

The shading/coloring from the pencils is good and consistent, and it gives everything some texture, too. The handdrawn lines give the bear a good fuzzy edge.

The bear arm and snout in the foreground could use some wrinkles or shading to give them that "slightly forward" perspective, but other than that it's up to usual practice.

[Calm]

Good painting!

The face has great detail and expression. The hairstyle is making me think of Star Trek Vulcans.

dannywithnoodles responds:

Thank you very much! I can see where you're coming from lol

[Pokemon X One Piece]

Phew, huge group shots can be a pain, especially coordinating the light source for their shading. I'm really liking pieces that mix up the gradient/cel shading styles.

This looks great! Lots of varied, interacting poses that fit with character personalities.

[Melon Pop - Commission]

I like the shadows and wrinkles, especially on that beanbag - seems like you'd have to choose how regularly along the sides you want them.

You gave the hair a good feeling of volume, and the coloring stays along the lengths of hair nicely.

The lack of outlining seems to have worked out fine, and I'm sure you'll feel comfortable with it in time.

draneas responds:

Thanks for your nice words! You seem to have keen observation skills! :)
