[Inktober #2 Spruce Dues]

Very nice

Ok this one here is "REALLY-NICE" a good background piece or something you could use inside an animation. "I-LOVE-THE-DETAIL" of the trees and the overall landscape you've achieved here. The sky is a bit baren but you can always fix that later with more clouds and such, but it still looks good without any of that. I like the hills you've seem to emulate inside the picture, at the bottom of it. It makes you feel like the trees are on a hilly area and that gives this some depth. My only suggestion was to add those clouds in and maybe a person by turning this into an animation.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This one just needs more of a sky with clouds and such.

Cyberdevil responds:

Glad you like this one! Was pretty proud of how the green bits turned out, though you're right, didn't focus on much else but those trees.

[Inktober #3 Some]

Neat

I love this one actually, it looks like an "OLD-POEM" or a lost letter. I think the "DETAIL-HERE" is nice, even tho you are just repeating a pattern, but it "FLOWS" in a nice way and makes you wonder what is going on here or what the words all mean in the end. I wonder what you were think when you created this one? I love the color of pink you used and the simple white with it. Maybe next you could add a border with a page effect to make it looked like a ripped up page or something older in that way? Just an idea. I do think this one was a good piece of art from you. Keep it up as always.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This one could use a border type to make it appear like a page.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Wordplay, is all. :) Did take a looong time to fill the frame though - there's no copy pasta. Thanks for the review!

[Inktober #13 ThINK]

Pretty cool

So this was pretty cool and some nice "ARTWORK" here the pink background inside a detailed "BACKROUND" was a really nice way of doing your art this time around, and you added some shine line details that was a nice effect. I think the background detail in this one was pretty good even for a pattern of some type. I think the detail of the image in the middle itself was really good and this is one of your better ones, not much to say to change here or give opinions on because you have many great elements going on in this one.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing to change, it is find as it is

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Glad you liked!

[Inktober #14 Balls]

Haha nice

This one here well this one made me laugh and I did really enjoy this one. The ball itself looks like it is sad, I don't think you meant to give that feeling off but the ball has a look of a frown or just a sad expression on his face based on where you put the ball lines of the tennis ball. I dont much care for the color of the background, but I see why you chose it. I would go for a happier color next time if you don't want the ball to seem sad. I know colors don't sound attached to emotions but they have proven to be related and linked. I would just change that up but good job overall.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some colors that are more happy

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Well the sadness was intentional, so I think I went with the right ones then right? ;) It was meant to be both sad and happy, as mentioned in the description, but turned out a bit differently after all. Glad you liked it though; thanks for commentin'.

Very interesting

So this was abstract and interesting at the same time with some decent artistic value here the scene is a bloody one and its some action scene I like the style of art here and kind of reminds me of an old artists that passed away and he did this simular style of art so this was pretty cool, I would love to see more texture in your art pieces.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would love to see more texture in your art

~X~

AdventVoice responds:

I will keep that in mind. Do you remember the name of the artist, this piece happens to remind you of, the one that died?

I will try to add more texture in some of my new pieces. Well after #Inktober.

I love Pixel

Love this "SCENE" the pixel really comes off well, my only advice might be to ad some shines and sparkled here and there and about it all, I love pixel I didnt always love pixel but what you have here is something beautiful and something that really comes together in a fine form of a beautiful visual so thats a "PLEASURE" to see pixel at its finest and I really like the work you have done here with this piece here.

trixelbit responds:

my guy, this is like super duper old art of mine lol. Like 8 years ago. My pixel work now is way different from then. Also, there'd be waaaaaay more stuff to improve besides shines and sparkles lol.

I'm glad you like it nonetheless! I just find it bizarre that my old art is getting attention lol.

[Hame]

Good

Ok in terms of anime "STYLE-AND-FAN-ART" this one was good. I think you made a good effort to reimage something you enjoy and recreate the character here. I do like the scar details and the overall body positioning. The eyes and the facial features show his emotions and that is always a bonus and good thing to do with "ANIME-CHARACTERS". They are so filled with emotion you need to represent that "CHARACTERS-EMOTIONS" well and I think you did a good job here. I think also maybe that you need to add some shades and shines to this one. The only real thing it is lacking is the depth of the shadowing and overall shine an anime character would posses. I would add a shine to the tooth and maybe shadows around the eyes and neck area. Your basic shadowing and shading for any standard character whereever the sun would be hitting them. It allows for more realness, even if it is a cartoon, as it builds on the character and adds that depth. I think the hair needs more textures as well, not just a solid main color, maybe shading it some hairs or the way the hair would flow, but you did include "WHITE-LINES" to show the hair "MOVMENT-AND-STYLE", which I did like that you added this detail. Overall the main face and the scar is your best part of this character and I would hope that you'd add up the things discussed here as it would make it a more professional looking anime. A "BACKROUND" would not hurt either, to make it more like a scene from the anime. I do love what you've done and hope to see more soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add up a background and add shadows and shading details to this character.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Ah yes, depth, definitely missed that in this one! I like how the shirt flows into the white, but you're right a background would add a lot. Solid feedback.

[A Drawin' for a Drawler]

Interesting

That hat is scary, it looks like it is gonna eat that poor kid. Also this kid needs some sun, very very pale. Is he canadian perhaps? I think you did a good job here, but it seems very whited out, like the lighting seems off and it is too bright, almost faded. I work sharpen and darken this up a bit more and add more color to the face. If you are going to give everything else color then why not try it for the male too? That is just a suggestion, because otherwise you obviously have talent and an ability to drawn well, but I would work on your use of coloring. Good efforts.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Work on coloring in the face of the male here, but keep it up

~X~

Zaccura responds:

Haha I definitely agree about it being too bright, he is not that pale lol. I was quite new to painting realistically so I was a tad afraid when adding the shading to his face for fear of "messing it up". However the lack of color in his skin is intentional as I suppose I was trying to do some fancy shmancy thing where it's monochrome except for his clothes, not sure I pulled it off properly haha XD

Thank you so much for the constructive and honest review, I really appreciate it! :D

And indeed his hat is quite scary.

[Life on Mars?]

Very nice

I like the "LIGHTING" I kind of feel like you should have had a more dominant lighting come in on the man or characters maybe even some backround props, I have seen a number of Art pieces come through here and there, And this one is not perfect But I do like the elements on this one, While not perfect but you have shown that what you have here does work, And you do get your idea across the board.

DocLew responds:

Perfection doesn't exist but thanks.

[Through the Forest of the Night]

Wow beautiful

Wow there is a lot going on in this piece and the trees, my god the trees are just wonderful. You feel like you're about to walk into a mystery or a horror with this red riding hood. It gives that Red Riding Hood feeling off with the cape she has on in full red. I do love the way she is not facing you but behind you. I love love the dark blue tones and coloring here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing, great job with this one.

Thank you so so much for such kind words. Really glad that you liked it. 😊😊😊
