Notbad

Ok so notbad work here but a lot is going on and it seems to be a bit confusing. I do like the "OVERALL-DESIGNS" you have going on, each one is unique and has something to offer. The way you wrote your name into the tag off to the side a bit was interesting. From the "LITTLE-MAN" in his canoe, to the face, to the book, etc. The font was great and the way you drew those stars around the font really added to it and made for a "DAZZLING-LOOK" with good solid elements of original ideas. I think the fonts you always create are some of your best pieces of art, but you've heard that from me before. I would hope that maybe you'd make the text bigger next time, more space should have been used here as there is a lot of white space going on in the edges. White backgrounds are fine, but when white space is surrounding your work it can get lost and it makes it look smaller as well, so I would either "MAKE-THINGS-LARGER" to fit the space or crop that all out next time. My fav part of this is the little man trying to canoe to somewhere. I would love to see you expand on this one and maybe tell a small story, with a background, and maybe some animation? That would be interesting to see. Overall a good sample, needs to be something more tho, and I hope you expand on these ideas in the near future.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above, but mostly just take each element and make individual ideas and submissions with these and remember to eliminate your white space as it makes the project seem lost and look small.

An animated version of this hmm... I like that idea! It'd be the right time for a 10th year anniversary edition too. Thanks for the feedback; views as always!

Very nice work

So this was really good and you really have a realistic look here, especilly on the faces, the paint style is just absolutly amazing and I am very impressed with the work you have done here, so you get my praise on this one its a beauitifull piece, make more soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Maybe some more sunlight or some of it even if none at all its a fine piece.

Different

Okay so this was "DIFFERENT", not something you usually do and more of a real "PAINTING-TYPE" photo of the art you did, rather than something you turn digital or "SCANNED". Did you scan this? I don't see that here. I love the green deep dark background you have here. I always enjoy when you use a background instead of your common go-to of white. I think it adds something different and new, and there is nothing wrong with branching out now and then trying new things like this. I just don't think the main art is something too good, but it is nice. I mean, it is almost like a tattoo design or a "STENCIL" pattern you can use for prints and body art. I think that is what this would be good for here and not too much of a piece for animations or "CHARACTERS". It is a bit abstract in terms of the design and has a dark tone that I do enjoy. It is just different from all the other things you've been doing and I think while it is good to try things, I am not sure I would recommend you do this one over again. Although, I do think it is cool and original, but not something I'd do all the time. The light catching it did make a nice "EMBOSSED" look for this piece and I think if you wanted to do that again that would work, but maybe try to recreate it in a digital means by copying the light and shadows around the design for a crisp more clean look.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Redo this in a digital way to recreate it and maybe use this for a tattoo or print design.

Cyberdevil responds:

No it's a photo, you're right. Couldn't scan it as you need a certain angle of light to get the effect, even though I wish it wasn't so dark. Well the thing about being able to get this effect in a less digital way was the coolest part about this I think, not as much the doodle, and the type of ink/paper that allowed it was more of a coincidence. Emboss effects with digital art's a lot easier, but a metallic effect... yeah I haven't mastered that yet. Thanks for the review; good suggestions though!

Very nice work

Now this was nice, it has a "DARK" touch about it the "PURPLES" really make this work the texture in your design and painting here really come off well and some really nice "EXPRESSION" on the characters face, so nice job indeed on this whole piece I enjoyed your artwork here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Dont see a need for any changes this was some welldone work and shows off some nice talent.

Very nice character

so this was a nice character I like all the diagrams on backround, the look on the eyes was pretty deep the hair was welldone and the drawing of the whole character was pretty good, so nice job here you should ad some type of fancy futureistic border or frame to accent off the character, anyways nice work here.

So I guess its that time of "YEAR" once again with the "INKTOBER" well this one was nice I like that you showed the book and pen and the drawing itself was actaully pretty good so with this one I see no changes needed afterall it is an inktober but anyways nice work here.

Entertaining

The "RAINBOW-OF-BLOOD" submission lol, Now this entry was pretty entertaining, you cant go wrong with the idea here and I have to say its a real good one, I really liked how this one turned out the comic is always "FULL-OF-ENTERTAINMENT" and crazy antics that keep me excited from start to finish so nice work once again.

Always entertaining

So this was and is always an entertaining comic series such as this particular episode is and gives off so much entertainment and "FUN-ELEMENTS" of joy the stories start off slow but "END-WITH-A-BANG" and thats what I really enjoy about these pieces so really nice work indeed.

[Phantasma]

Nice

So this was another "COOL" piece very nice art love the "ANIMATION" I think as a small improvment you could have had some small glow effects on the outter line work for the extra effect here, just an idea im throwing your way for the mostpart you have some amazing work here.

[Inktober day 2: Plant Gore]

Interesting

so this one was "INTERESTING" the whole "INKTOBER" is always as interesting as the next seems like this one could have used a little more line work on it though, but it tells a small story and I liked it for the mostpart so nice job all the way around, anyways nice work indeed on this one.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
