[Inktober #7 Lucky 7]

Lucky?

Well this one here was very entertaining with this number you ussd, kept me wondering why you picked this number, and gave me a few smiles with the use of yellows and the outlines in the numbers and squiggles, and somewhat random squiggles at that but thats what i liked about it, so good job and keep it up.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
One thing I tell artists is that a border will really improve your art, and I think this one here could use just one of those but it is fine as is.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Maybe some subconscious Las Vegas reference; maybe some subconscious reference to something or one on site. :) 7's generally considered a lucky number so... seems coincidence weighs strongly in its favor! Glad you liked it.

[Inktober #8 Eightball]

Love this

I really do love a good 8 ball piece. I have one or two myself that I have done. I do think your version of this is interesting. Books piled over it was a new take on it I have never seen before. I do think that there is still too much white space and the overall 8ball is a bit too small but the colors in the books and their positioning over it with a slight tilt was nice to see. Very creative piece here. I did enjoy it

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I think this one here could use a background of sorts to limit the white space and make the 8ball bigger but it is pretty good so far

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Ah yes, I remember those! Knowledge weighs heavier than luck... maybe? ;) Thanks for the review!

[Inktober #9 Cloud Nines]

Nice

Another nice piece of art you have here some good coloring and very nice visuals with the 9s. I would for sure like to see this as an animated short, maybe just have the nines floating downward in a gif type display with the window staying still. I think the use of the red and yellow curtains was a nice touch too and made it feel more realistic.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nice art here but needs to be animated

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Animation required every time there's something falling huh. ;) Thanks!

[Inktober #10 Clear]

Nice work

This was cool and this was a one in terms of quality here and your line styles were pretty consistent. I wouldn't mind even more colors as there was one the one color and it tends to get lost with the rest of the work when you have only one solid color going on. I think that this one is pretty nice as it is tho, but yes, definately needs color. I hope to see this next time with my suggestions as you have repeated designs before.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some more color other than the only one you have going

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Feels like when I start using additional colors it easily messes things up, sometimes best to opt for simplicity, but I shall experiment; see what happens in the future. :) Thanks again!

[Inktober #24 The Greeting Card]

Card?

I think one here is more of a morse code than a card but this piece here is very interesting. I mean, it isn't like your others and say is a saying. I am trying to work on what it says actually, because it is bothering me, so you have my interested in that aspect. I think the lines you used for the text is good, but too basic. You have much white space surrounding them and you could have cropped this a but so the lines are bigger and easier to read. Apparently this translates out to "HELLO". is that correct?

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Less white space and make the text bigger to read the code more

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Well it's a card with morse code. The pun's in both title and code itself, so if you actually know the code... heeey, you actually looked it up! :D Yes indeed, it's a very literal greeting card! Thanks for that effort!

[Inktober #11 50 Second Challenge]

Notbad

So this was cool I like that this one only took you a solid 50 seconds and you still managed to come up with something that looks decent. I do think the lines are a bit all over the place in size veriations, so maybe that's something need to watch out for next time you go to do a fast drawing, but I do like the style here and for something that was going to be done so fast, it is not bad at all.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some improved lines for consistency

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Well 50 seconds was a challenging time limit. XD I plotted the motive before I started the clock, though. Pretty happy with how it turned out all things considered, but do agree, with time maybe I'll get both faster and better. Thanks!

[Inktober #12 5 Second Challenge]

Simple

So this was cool I like the simple nature of this one and it seems to be another one of your faster drawings, this time at 5 seconds. I think for 5 seconds this is actually pretty decent but too simple. I think you could have set the background color quick to be blue and then did a bit of green on the bottom portion. I bet you could save time by not signing the piece to give it a little extra. I mean, for a 5 second drawing, do you really need to have the signature?

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some background effort and detail

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

The signature's excluded in the time above, as mentioned. :) Just feels like it's a signature thing, you know? Glad you're appreciating even these rushed ones!

[Inktober #18 Cryptic Ink]

Very nice work here

Well I was really pleased with this piece the leet moris code was nice to see after all these years, and the way you included the pen itself was a nice detail that gave it some depth and realistic appeal. The only thing is this seems it's lacking some sparkle and shine, you could give much more shine and a sparkle in the corners and on the pen. But anyways nice job on this great language and I wonder what it all says?

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some shine and sparkle

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

It's binary, if you want to look it up. ;) Maybe some shine on the pen yes... but overall not sure I'd go for that style here! Thanks though.

[Inktober #19 UFO Sunrise]

Very neat

Wow this one is very neat the clouds are so detailed and deep with texture and even the sky has nice textures with your line art. A very nice work, the "UFO" is unique and actually seems a bit happy. It tells a story that something is happening with using very rich details. I am not sure about improvement here, maybe a sunburst effect where the sun is as the ufo flys over, more shine inside the ufo inself would also be a bonus, but overall good work on something neat and unique.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some light on the sun

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Wasn't so happy with the black outlines on this one myself, but glad you seem to see it in a different light! :) Feedback noted!

[High on Life]

Nice

The face in there is pretty good I think more more frame or border on this would be nice, I like the detail in this drawing and like the stylish resluts, this goes to show you dont need color to make it amazing and you have made some amazing things here very beautiful black and white drawing and or sketch here so nice work indeed, I look forward to much more from you.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I think more more frame or border on this would be nice

~X~

GabrielLoganStudios responds:

Thank you very much! Honestly, this drawing was done in a very dark time for me, and maybe that shows a little bit in the black and white pallet along with the overall style depicted. I appreciate that you feel the way you do, though, and your feedback is very much so considered. Funny enough, some of my more recent Art 101 drawings include more established frames and it does make it look nicer in many respects. I will definitely take that into account with a couple future projects, as I think it might bring the overall work out a lot more.

Thanks again for the review, and I hope you stick around to see what I have in store next! :)
