[False Knight?]

Amazing work

And once again you have some amazing work the "DETAIL" alone on this is beautifull, I love all the "CRACKS" even the backround was decent I would even go as far as adding some backround detail like cracks the light source stuff like that but overall this was a brilliant piece.

[Inktober #16 Sunshine Shark]

Jaws?

I love the shark here, it really came out well poking out of the water like he is gonna kill someone but has a face like he doesn't care in the end, and this was a nice job in the sea ocean details and depth you've created. The sky was a bit lacking and could use some work though maybe someone clouds in the distance and the sun itself could use effects like a sunbeam or shine of some kind as the sun is usually too hot near the sea to be a simple solid coloring like that, but I did enjoy this, especially the sharks facial expression LOL.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some shine and sparkle on the sun and some background clouds

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Yeah I'm really happy how that turned out too. :) Sunbeams seemed difficult with the simple style, but maybe something to experiment with in the future, but a little depth to the sky would've been good I agree. Glad you liked it!

[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.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Take away the white space and color the table in to look like a wood table

~X~

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.

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!

[Inktober #23]

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!

[Inktober #22]

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!

[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!

[DaemmonArts]

Very awesome

Wow this is awesome. I love skulls and this one really stood out to me. What is the green emerald writing on the skulls forhead mean? What does that represent and why did you choose this as a forest element? I love the trees and overall use of green. The moon in moon background is classic goth and fantasy and I do love it very much. I wish you had a background here and added more to the overall balance of your piece as it has some space that could be filled. A burst light effect from the moon would have been neat too. You are talented and I did enjoy this artwork.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add more to the space you have and Maybe some lighting effects. Good job overall.

~X~

DaemmonArts responds:

Thank you so much.
This one It was like a "logo" for my art page. Some time ago I made this skull for my tattoo and when I was creating my page I thought in using part of that design for the "logo".
The symbol on forhead is DA for DaemmonArts. The skull is representing death and the forest is the life that reborn from death. I used the green to be the light of life and death. The moon is because my astrological sign is cancer and the "planet" of my sign is the moon. The background was just like that because I wanted to be a little bit simple to be a "logo" and use as design for tshirts and things like that.
Over all for me this one represents magic and rebirth, the life that never stops and improves in every regeneration.

Thank you so much for your comment and the ideas to improve. I'm really happy to know that you like my art! :)
