[Inktober #17 Sweet 17]

Complex

Well this one was very "COMPLEX" and different and it could have a whole other meaning but I don't understand the sugarcubes too much, is that a toothpick inside holding it, where did the "TOOTHPICK" come from? Why did this get build? So many questions, but I do like the "GREEN-CUP" and details in the cubes so you know they are made of sugar. The main thing that bothers me about this one here is the white space and overall use of so much white that the green stands out almost too much. I would add a wood table of sorts or something to take away from all this white and white space going on in here.

Take away the white space and color the table in to look like a wood table

Cyberdevil responds:

Yeah that's a toothpick. :) It's an attempt at realism - the prerequisite for making those sugar cubes take on this particular form without collapsing, and better than glue since that's in part just difficult to draw and with factored in reality probably not good to have in your cup of coffee either! XD It's 'Sweet 17', you know?

Hmm white space there is, though I don't quite mind the whiteness... starting to think we might have different views on backdrop simplicity. When focus is on the motive I feel a white backdrop works well. It's neutral. Doesn't give or take, like a backlight that lights up the image.

Nice creatures

So you have some really nice "CREATURES" here they are pretty detailed and "NIFTY" I like that you put up the different versions up here very well done work here, maybe a different color border or maybe something more fancy, overall this was pretty good and I enkpyed your creations here.

Big and good

I think this one here is pretty good, you have a talent for creating some cool ink creatures or just characters. I see you are using the same character as your "TWO" faces from the previous "INKTOBER-SUBMISSION", but I still enjoyed it. You sometimes will reuse art and then make it in a new way, which many artists do, and I think this one works well with that concept. I love the detailing of the buildings in the back, almost like a "GODZILLA" concept and art work. I think that was a good use of space and design. Overall good work and keep this up as always it is a pleasure to review your work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing to really change, I like this one here as it is.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Can definitely see the GODZILLA similarities here. :) Always a pleasure to read your reviews too! Thanks!

[Day 20 - Breakable]

Very nice

So this was cool I like the "IDEA" of this piece and the "LIGHT-BULB" very nice idea indeed, I think adding more shine and some sparkles would have been cool maybe for the glass of the bulb maybe a different shade of color, but regardless this was a really nice piece of artwork here.

VortexVisionz responds:

Thank you for the honest review, I totally agree that it could’ve used more shine. Though I sketched this up rather quick... I will have to digitally remaster this sketch as some of my other Inktober doodles!

Okay

This one was okay, not the best. There was so much more you could have done here but you stuck with just text and yellow, which is fine, but it seems a bit messy. Your other works had themes and understanding to go along with it, but this one seems more like an experiment to try something and I don't think it really worked. You do still have a great talent for font and text work. You always know where to place your fonts and make it really catch your eyes properly, but this one here needed a bit more and I think you can do so much more with these pieces of work you do, so it was okay and keep it up.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This one here well it needs more work, more something, it just seemed a bit off to me.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Well I like trying new styles and messages, IMO art's supposed to be that way, always something new, but this one's more wordplay than artwork I suppose. Will do!

Issue 57?

I do like this one, I like the mystery it gives off and the intrigue about what the number could possibly be? I do wonder what the other issues were before you started this piece, then I wonder maybe you just really like the number 57 haha. I like the fact you bring some color into this piece and make it a unique way to represent an issue sign or message alert. Your text is always fun to see and I do like the fact you have good ink shading for your inktober creation. I just wish you had added a border here as that would have really made this come together or been more of that "ALERT" feeling.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This one here is good work but a border would really complete it.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Well I'm not sure about the sense of mystery with this one, but thanks! The number was entirely random, as it often is in those scenarios where you give something a high number to give the impression you've posted lower numbers before, and thus that there are more of them (in this case: issues).

Maybe there is some subconscious reference there, though. :) If I've used 57 earlier hmm... thanks for commenting!

Nice

So here we are with some nice "ANIMATION" added to some fresh like art here and I have to say it was a tad bit stylish nice and fresh lines, so my tip here is if your gonna ad some animation you should ad some flashy effects just an idea overall this was a nice art / animation.

Wow

Wow now that is one hell of a "BEAUTIFULL" piece you have here the smoothness of the art the photo within the photo is just brilliant you have really outdone youself here on this piece and Im just in aww with this element, so nice job here and it was a pleasure to see something like this.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
with something as beautiful as this theres no need for any changes.

[Inktober #15]

Good again

I think this is very similar to your last one "STILL" it seems to be a theme for you and your creating inktober submissions. I do like the fact you've stuck to the coloring structure of some of your previous works, it shows you have a consistency and make your art more your brand so that when you see it, you think Cyberdevil. I like the font and I like the colors and overall this one was good, but it needed a character or something else. The textures in the background were also good but lack something, not sure, but I wish this one had more going on.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Good job overall but needs more detail other than font

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

The character's in the background; surrounding that font, sniffing those lines of stillness. ;) Thanks!

[Inktober #25 That Cat Monster]

Cool

Okay well even tho this is a bit WTF, I do love it. I love the detail in the eyes and the mouth itself has the most detail and coloring. I think the eyes are nice, but they should be as detailed as the mouth itself. I think you have a good eye and use with your ink lines, the lines around the mouth for a fur effect really do achieve that and looks spot on in cat likeness. I think tho overall this is a great thing, but you need to keep going, it feels unfinished, like there is more cat to be seen here and more drawing to be done, but I do love it for what it currently is.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More of this would be nice, more cat, more eyes, etc

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Future remix may come about. :) Thanks for reviewing!
