[The Blue Planet]

Pretty cool looking

So this was cool so it being "BLUE" there must be lots of ocean on the planet I think all you need now on here is some stars in the surrounding areas and such, just a small idea that could make this a nifty piece, you made it really look like a planet though.

[Meow meow vs Dog dog]

Kind of small

Well this was something, the black and white is cool but some added color would make this much more vibrant, the whole piece was too "SMALL" though maybe you can make the view screen somewhat larger, so a larger view screen and some added color would be mu suggestion for this piece. nice animation though.

[Devil Lilith Commission]

Amazing

Wow I have to say this was really amazing I love the "CICULAR" view on this one, all the colors seem to have blended well, and her design itself was welldone and an amazing piece of work you have here, so nice job on this love the art style you bring to the portal and hope you continue to bring many more great pieces.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Its perfect as is.

[Seven Shades of Gray (nsfw)]

Very nice

So this was really nice I love the shading and pencil strokes I think thats "PENCIL" anyways, its dark in the shades and its a "INTIMATE" visual but nothing too revealing so still kept classy, very beautifull linework, one thing I tend to suggest alot is on pieces like this you could ad some frame or border that would make it feel more like a gallery piece this is something I might see in an art museum.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thanks! It is pencil, just regular old art pencils in my sketchbook then scanned. The lighter areas I erased. (No chalk or white added)

[Red and Green]

Love this

This is by far my fave piece from you, this one must have taken you a long time its really deep in texture, and has a huge "REALISTIC" visual here love the leaves especially redish, Maybe more shine comming off the side of the trees just a small idea there, anyways really beautifull piece here.

[[High Def Sprite] Cody]

Good

Well this was a good way to recreate a sprite you've come to love and appreciate. I think the use of the sprite as a foreground and background really worked here to showcase what you've added and how you've recreated this piece. I love the way you've got almost the original coloring done and the way you've smoothed this out, but also kept some pixels here and there to not lose that feeling of it being a sprite. I think the white was okay, but maybe instead of just that white background with the sprite zoomed in, you could have done a kaleidoscope of colors of the sprite and filled in all these white areas with a bit more color and pixels to fit your theme. I think it is good as it is, but that would be something I would change up if I was doing a sprite recreation like this. You put your own spin on this too, in terms of the style and the look of the face. Faces in sprites are never too detailed and pretty standard, but here you've gone a bit further with additions in expression and just layers the character. I do like this one very much and I hope you do more of these sprites from the game in the future. I would add that.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just limit the amount of white space here and there, maybe use more pixels

[Hand Sandwich]

Great comic here

Haha the "SANDWICH/HAND" joke is great, very well executed, And here we go another good comic style the stories are just as good as they are today, the art is classic in its own way, and the adventure still as great as ever so these early black and white ones still fun to check out and review, so nice work you have here.

[Hell]

Another classic

This is where you started to ad some color like the "FLAMES" This was another classic original and I like these because they were simple and original the detail was not high end but they were still cool to see the drawings were actually pretty good and stylish, so you do have a nice style and it has jumped into what you do now and makes for some great efforts.

[Wacom practice 2]

Notbad

Ok so this here is notbad and notbad at all in terms of the level of details and your pencil work. I think the eyes really draw you in and that hair is very well done in the type of anime style you'd like to see when it comes to detailed hair. I like the facial expression as well and the look of your anime character. I think you were going for a male design based on the hair and facial features. I have a friend who uses a wacom tablet and she says it can be hard to draw with at times, so the fact you're practicing with it, is a good start. I see potential in this piece and I would like to add a few things you should practice for the next submission. I think this one here could use well just a bit of coloring. I am not saying do a full scene next time, but for the next practice round you could try to colorize just the facial features and the hair. Hair is going to be the hardest for you and will take time and detail to match up the color to the pencil detailing. The other factor to work on is trying to get some shines and shades into this. All good anime or cartoons have that shine and that shade element into the work that really brings it together and ties it into one big thing. I think overall this one is here good but just needs a bit more. I think once you are good for colorizing your work, then you can add up some backgrounds with the work just to limit the amount of the white space you're using here. The white space can be a bit lack luster and you want to really make things look like a completed piece in the end, but that is for when you're not practising any longer on the wacom. Good job overall tho as the tablet can be a bit hard to get used to.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add up some color next time and the build from there and then add a background and shine and shades, just build on this over time each time you practice.

[£5 Note]

Cool

Haha him running awar was a nice executed "JOKE" lol, So this is cool as it always is, the old classic here since it was made so long ago and little to no color at all makes me enjoy it a little bit more, you still have shown some nice ideas back then and it was the creation at its start, anyways nice work here, keep it up.
