Sharp looking

Looks great for a game already, I would ad more shiny points especially on the gun, Your style here on the sprite work is fantastic and I like your design here sprites are very creative and sharp looking, sharp and "CRISP-LOOKING" is what I would say, It was a "PLEASURE" to find this sprite work of yours its really an amazing piece of work you have here.

Nice character

So this here was a good looking character lots of "DETAIL" and lots of "COLOR" you really push some nice little details here and there and made this a nice little character you should do something with the backround though while it was a tad simple could use more backround details maybe just even a few props here or there.

Cool comic

A newgrounds BBS comic that was cool, not sure why I have not seen this before but its pretty amazing work, the color and darkness of the bbs are just right this is a nifty idea and think you should continue on with this piece and make a whole series out of it and the bbs, anyways nice idea.

You're in luck! This thing was continued in my flash animation Dick Neck: Origins.

With an extended story that kicked up in another thread, found here:

At this moment, there are no intentions to continue Dick Neck's saga. A few sequel ideas have been written, but none executed. I'd be willing to share what I've written, but given how my time is spent, there's nothing happening with it anytime soon. A perfect opportunity for some other artist to give their own crack at it, because at this point nothing is canonized and it's all open to interpretation by anyone. No one owns Dick Neck. So have at it!

Thanks again for the thorough review!

This is Very Nice

I like how you have this one set up the "STORY" board of the sprite is nice, Great addition they have come along way and you bring some nice and shiny detail to this sprite work, I love the detail and the "SHINE-POINTS", but most of all I love the creative side when it comes to "SPRITE-WORK" and you have presented some really nice sprite details here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Make more with this story board element.

Very cool

Now this was very cool I really like this looks familuar from some game but I could be wrong, the color theme here is amazing you have some really nice depth and texture in the backround and main character, Seems all this really needs is some borders and or frames, but its a nice art piece.

Cool

so this was a subtle piece here you added some nice visuals here the canvus seemed small I think you could really improve on this one making a larger canvus for more visual and details to be shown, and two maybe more of a glowing light from the window to give off that mystery of whats going on, anyways nice work here.

Galneda responds:

This is one of my earliest pieces as I was figuring out my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet (the first tablet I've ever had) and Photoshop. A far cry from MS Paint with a mouse or sketching on paper for me at that age. I agree, it is a bit small, and this is an aspect ratio I have since outgrown. This is demonstrated in my more recent submissions, and you're welcome to leave feedback on them as well.

I was still learning and experimenting with opacities at the time I made this. I'd like to think I'm more skillful about their execution nowadays.

Thanks again for the thorough review!

Sprite work is amazing

You have some "NICE-CREATIVE-IDEAS" when it comes to sprite work, So really nice work here, and I hope you keep making more, I had always wanted to do sprites but never got the chance but what you have created here is pretty "INTENSE-AND-DETAILED" to the max so again nice work here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
overall some nice screens wish these were bigger.

[Doom Faces]

Dark

So here was a cool and dark piece you have here, I like the faces this reminds me something out of a dark and scary movie I could see you adding some red glowing eyes on this piece to give it that even more scarier feel, but anyways really good texture and the faces came off well.

Galneda responds:

I think red glowing eyes can be cliche sometimes.

This is actually from the end screen of the first Doom PC game, and you can compare and contrast to what I paid homage to and what I added to it. For the most part, I was trying to keep it close to the original piece this is based off of...so that's why there ain't LED's lodged into their eyeballs.

Thanks for the thorough review!

[Cat Skull]

Decent

so this was cool, I really like the colors here, some very nice blends and deep textures you have in here, this is like a painting on a wall so maybe in that aspect you could ad some borders or frames along the edges to give it that gallery feel, anyways really good use of color here.

[Was He Looking at Me?]

Nice and Nifty

Now dont get me wrong the color can be amazing but I love the raw black and white, Like you have here and the little details show off well especially in this nifty design of a drawing you have presented here and black and white is always a plus of elements anyways nice work here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would throw a frame on this one.
