[2016¤1]

2016

What a year. I never expected that year to be so much for me, and I am so glad to have had that year for certain reasons. I love your text and the sentences you added here. It almost looks like a flyer for the year or a newsletter of what was and is to be. I think the way you did the 2016 number was neat and had good shades and coloring. I like the way your lines are so clean and vectored in this piece. Overall a great way to look at that year, that wonderful year of 2016.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing to really improve on as I like this one as it is.

What happened for you in 2016? :O Hehe yeah, it was a bit of a poster of inspiration for the year to come. Thanks.

[Inktober #4 Public Message]

Nice msg

Well I have to say this one was really simple and fun however you did bring some good font and text into this one and has some nice coloring and there was some fun little textures inside this. It was really decent overall so props to you on this piece of art. You should put a few pieces of this type of art together to make a comic.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Good job but it would be cool if you made this into a comic.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Hmmmm wondering how I could make a comic out of this... if you have any ideas there feel free to share. ;) Thanks though.

[Madness Ascent]

Great

Oh wow this one was great and really intense with the kind of detail and action you want to see into madness. The background has this misty feeling to it almost like smoke and I enjoyed that very much for the change really love to see more blood tho. The birds and abstract background really works well together. The birds help you focus off from the complex background and back to the main madness images. Like I love the pencil like details and deep shading techniques you've used all over the piece in each aspect and each character down to the weapons and faces to the background. The theme here seems a bit biblical or something but not sure you intended to do that. It also reminds me of something John Woo would do in his action movies so it makes me wonder if you got inspired by him and his films tho the birds arent doves. The weapons and way each character holds them presenting themselves is great. You are good at displaying body language with action and violence. Good stuff and I would like to see more next time. I like the misty feeling it has still and I'm going to hope that next time Youll add that extra blood. Great job and keep it up with all this madness.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
The bloodfire needs more blood

[Sketch 3]

Nice

Some nice drawings here some added backround work could be added though, So I would say ad some color to this black and white drawing or sketch, but its actually really good as is too, these types of black and white styles are always nifty and interesting, A nice design indeed, I think you could ad a tint of color but its still nice work.

[Sketch 2]

Great sketch

This was a good sketch you have here, its not everyday that just a simple idea can go from a sketch drawing into something as fantastic as this and all though its a black and white style drawing here I do think you could ad more to it but what you do have is pretty brilliant.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just make more like this as this was beautiful stuff

[Inktober #5 False Bullet]

Umm

Ok there isnt much to say here. You have literally nothing going on here. I do like the joke you wrote in the bottom about being worth a shot. It was a good joke. I did laugh but next time draw something. I'm surprised you didnt get in shit for this hahaha.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Actual content next time bud lol

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Blank is part of the joke do, as in a blank bullet, you know? False bullet? But yeah, this was just a witty way to skip a day. :) I thought you might've skipped these particular ones intentionally!

[Inktober #6 Rainsicks]

Decent

Well notbad but this seems like it continues or something, nice looking characters under the rain but could use more colors inside the people themselves, you left me wanting more though and wanting to see more of this purple rain, so anyways it was a decent little ink art and I think alone it is a good piece but maybe make this one into a flash animation.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Turn this into an actual flash with animated rain drops.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Purple rain hmm... gets me thinking of the movie with that same name there! Actually i the midst of watching it today. :) That would be pretty cool, though seems like a lot of extra effort.

[Decisive Battle]

Really nice

So this was some really nice work here I love all the lighting effects and shines they seem to come off well and spread a beautifull sparkle here and there you really make some nice artwork here and I really liked this piece and I dont see any need for any changes on this fine piece, anyways nice work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I really liked this piece and I dont see any need for any changes on this fine piece

[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!
