Very dark

So this was really "DARK" and that was the "INTENT" I love the dark element you pushed here Now as a small improvment I think some glowing eyes would have been good and maybe darker overwelming clouds aswell, but besides all that this was an amazing piece of dark element.

Thanks for the great review! I agree that darker clouds/sky would make give the piece a better/stronger dynamic. Good tips!

Nice drawing

Very dark and creepy but thats what I liked about, Some more backround detail would have been nice on this one, So here was a nice black and white drawing I like it because its like a drawing or sketch but its pretty good as you do ad some nice line and detail effort on this with some good energy behind it, you make it come alive even in all its black and white drawing style.

Dark

Ok so this strikes me as short of a darker jason, like in theme, he is more sinister and has more need for blood here. I like the way you have placed the blood on the mask and all over his bloody hand, but why the feet? I think the feet would naturally have blood on them, but he is standing there in a puddle of blood, without a body, and the rest of the blood is off to the side? I think this would have worked better if you attached the blood trail to the arm/hand weapon a bit more to show it was spooling over and that it just got all over him being so much there. I think the mask and the body are good. The arms are very very big, my god. Why did you draw them so long and big? I think it makes his body look uneven, but this may be the art style you wanted to achieve. Was it what you were going for? I would have balanced out the arms more, less length to them as now they seem as long as a gorilla. I would have also added a background to this. You do have awesome original text names hovering over him, but that is about it. I think you need a murder scene or something to show me where the blood came from, that would be a nice addition, but the character and art itself was dark and I do like that, especially all that blood. The jason text name is also well done and the way you've made the one letter longer was a nice idea and executed in a good manner. Overall a good piece here and I love the sinister stuff you do most.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add a background with a murder scene or victim, fix the arms length, add more blood to the weapon and feet. Mostly add more blood flow please.

Cyberdevil responds:

I think all bodies I drew had unproportionately long limbs back then. :) Maybe inspired by eighties action heroes like Arnold... not sure if it was intentional or it just turned out that way. I might've thought it looked cool. Agree some bits of this could've been worked on more, and the title in particular's pretty blank.

[Night Lights]

Romantic

I love the setting in this one. And here is an amazing piece of art love the sky and shooting star coming off of the sky, but I think you need to ad more glow effects to the stars themself. The colors are really good that it gives off that romantic element of candle lights and soft settings. The color dimming of the sky was nice, going from a purple to deep black as you got higher was a great touch. The dept of the bottom to the top worked out well witht he details of the trees and campers, and the use of space here was wonderful. I love it overall.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some added glow to your stars.

[Finding Hope]

Another great piece here

So this was once again another awsome piece of art you have here, the texture and shading is just amazing you really pushed the limits here onlything I would ad on here might be a sparkle at the end of his weapon or spear, but it was all welldone regardless of any changes.

[Baleful encounter]

Intense

And this here was an intense "PIECE" I love the creature in action I think you should have added a swoosh as his arm comes across and also the backround characterers eyes would be glowing would be a plus, but besides all that this was pretty good work here.

[MerMay2018 (render)]

OKAY

You wrote at the bottom this was still in progress, but what part is? Is the coloring additons the progress? Because this is in serious need of coloring but if you plan to keep it black and white then work on the exposure elements of the whites as they all seem too grey and are getting lost inside with the blacks and shades. I love the design of the mermaid type girl and the circle border background behind her. I think that alone is good work, but the coloring and shading do need to be improved on.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above, just work on coloring and shading as you progress.

[Pixelated Vodka]

Cool style

Wow I love the pinks and how the "PIXEL" blends out, wish this was a tad bit larger would have allowed for much more detail in the backround, So these pixel styles are always great sometimes I can never tell if its pixel or not but for the mostpart this is really good and has a very artistic style of art and you can never go wrong with pixel art so its a "PLEASURE" to review this art piece you have here.

Funky

I love the use of color here. Nice patterns and details and textures. I love the way it captures your attention with vibrant bright colors. So this was a nice charterer you have here, I like the armor and the background the most but I would suggest some deeper use of effects of glows and lighting. I would even add a border to this one for sure. The main issue tho here, is that your lines are very very pixelate and they need to be smoothed out, unless you want this effect, but it tends to make your artwork seem sloppy. Good work tho and good eye for color.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just fix your issue with pixelated lines and more effects inside this.

megawolf77 responds:

The pixelated style is intentional since this was drawn on MS Paint with just a mouse. I'd love to add the anti-alias effect, but I let the pixels stay for aesthetic purpose of MS Paint work.

I still appreciate your comment!
