Wow

Wow this one right here is soo good, such amazing details and overall effort here is wonderful. This piece here has something unique about it too and great eye appealing things. You don't see something so realistic and practical done on this site. The face you went above and beyond just your regular art form, to create something that can be manipulated and used as even a prop for more art is amazing. You have a creative style here that I really respect. You took parts and your own molds to make something important and creative. You designed a new robot like creature with even a nice friend and that isn't easy to do. This is on the level of creative movie props to me. The amount of effort and the way you constructed this is just something you can't just do and takes real real talent. You even have the comic to back this up and a big story to tell. You can see you are building something here and I cannot wait to see where that goes. The blues in the robot and the gear details were my favorite part. I think overall it is pretty perfect, but with all models, you will need to make more and ones that have different functions. I think you should build on another model and see what you can do with that one, keeping the look, but adding more aesthetically useful things that you had issues doing this time around. I would also maybe expand on the boy more, maybe have him more posable and bendable. Maybe add that metal and make him more rubber like? Just an idea. I think what you've done is great tho and you should keep doing this. I will check your progress in the future and look forward to whatever you create next. I think this is one of the most creative things I have seen on this site in a while and I am looking forward to your progression.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing to change, but you can expand on these ideas and add more in the future

MindChamber responds:

thanks for the awesome review, and love dude, much appreciated. and I definitely like your suggestions. I do plan to remake this robot, and make him way more pose-able. never thought about making a new pose-able version of the boy, but I might now! thanks!

Black Sun

This one here, well this one is odd and interesting and it kind of reminds me of this old song "BLACK WHOLE SUN" or something like that. I do like it and think it is very well made. I hope you also had some inspiration from that. I love the little fire at the top, like something got shot out of it, and the way the colors are black/white in the middle works well. I do find too much white in this tho, you could add clouds or even grey clouds, just limit your white space please. Good job overall.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add up a background maybe some clouds

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Black Hole Sun, yeah, now that the link's introduced I'll probably hear it in my head each time I see this. :) RIP Chris Cornell! Don't think this was inspired by the song as I never thought of the surrounding decor as sun rays before, more like explosive symbolism, but now that you mention it...

As it wasn't meant to seem like a sun the idea of clouds also seems a bit weird to me! XD It's more like a logotype you know? Thus blank surrounding. But I shall keep the potential surplus of white in mind. At the least it's definitely possible to work with other colors.

[Inktober #19]

Okay

I think this one right here is pretty good but another piece of art we've already seen from you is okay, but I would like to see more different things other than Luffy. Don't get me wrong, each time you do this it is nice, but I am thinking you should move on now to something a bit newer. I do love the power being his expression and he seems more animated than before, maybe that is just because he is closer and more upfront compared to the first piece you did. The black background with sparks of color and textures around him, almost like a glow, was nice to see and something you often do well with your work. I think overall I did enjoy this piece and to end my review I will say keep this great work up but try to expand your ideas.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above, just need something that isn't Luffy.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Well it was a few day phase with this one. :) Don't think I've done much Luffy apart from these. Thanks for the review though!

[Inktober #10]

Still?

I wonder what you think is still? I like the open-endedness of this piece of "INKTOBER". I think you made me think and wonder what is going on and that is always nice with art. You get a sense of "MYSTERY" and wonder with art sometimes and you think. oh I think this is what he means, but then someone else can say a different interpretation. It is all good for communication and admiration of the art forms. I love the font here, once again, that font is your strong skill. I think the white space could be less, I do find the more white space the less focus you have on the main art or you can add more of a background to this to elimit the amount of white space. I think that overall you have talent with the ink style of the art world and I hope you keep it up, this was good job and good use of your skills.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would use less white space and crop this up or maybe add more of a background as I stated above but I do like this.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Still going with the Inktober pieces... maybe? ;) And Still as in: just standing there. Still. Wonder if I had any deeper message here hmm... always nice with art that can be interpreted many ways indeed, though considering this was one of my quicker pieces I am a bit surprised with the four stars here, versus three point fives on the others. Anyway thanks for the reviews! Always a pleasure to read. And motivation.

Sad but good

This one was a good art work here but it seems this one is a bit sad, like the way you have the head positioned on the body of this man, that position screams that of someone who is very "SAD". I feel like the snow is inside the umberalla too. You have all the "COLORING" going behind him, maybe that isn't the intension, but that is what I am getting out of this. I think the white space is okay, but there is a lot of it. I would crop this one and all more textures of the snow or maybe those textures more dark and vibrant in color. I do like the man and the way he looks, even if he is being sad. I think it tells a story here and you wonder what he has been dealing with or will deal with. Overall a good piece of art, not sure why you didn't let a vote happen for this one, but good job and good use of your skills. I hope you keep your inktober going for a long while.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would use less white space and crop this one a bit, maybe add more snow lines and details

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Hmm yeah, the white puffs inside the umbrella were meant to be background cloud, but I do see how that bit's a bit misleading. Main motive might've looked better a bit bigger, I suppose, if I did keep the white all white. Feel like I'd probably botch the impression if I started adding texture, but maybe something to experiment with hmm... thanks for reviewing! Hope to get going with Inktober this year too. Time's closing in fast.

[Somewhere Other Chapter 21-13]

Very nice

A good "BATTLE" going on here, So you have some good adventure that you bring out and about so good character work here, and good story here too, really good style of comic here with a nice adventure to go with, I like the web comic and hope you make many more like this one its pretty solid stuff.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some added color on some climax moments.

Thank you for all the kind comments!

[Inktober #7]

Cute

A nice play on words here you've got going on. I think the use of "CRATE" and not create was a bit funny. I do like the crate itself sitting in the middle centre-line of the page. It kind of reminded me of the cards-against-humanity "BOX" expansion. It has a bunch of box cards, where you replace the word in a sentence with a crate or box. I would look into that for a good laugh. I do like the subtle border here and the use of fine lines to create some grass. As always, your text font is unique and original. You are very good with font. I would have made the blue more vibrant as it is too light and blends inside the white a bit too much. If my saturation or brightness was off, you'd lose the background all-together, so keep that in mind next time. Great job overall.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would just make the blue background a bit darker to not blend with the white as I stated above.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Think I joined in on the original Kickstarter for Cards Against Humanity, though I've yet to actually try it. XD Good to know! And glad you liked this one better too; appreciated the wordplay. Good point on the blue.

[Aggretsuko: Retsuko]

Funny

Looks like you've been watching that anime I found on Netflix, Aggretsuko. I think this is an interesting take on it. Most of the characters are chibi style anime, but here you've gone with a more traditional anime character depth. You have also made this like a manga by adding some content and comic wording. Her water marks or sweat coming off her face shows the expression and emotion she usually has, that nervous fears. She always says yes to the boss and you've got that part down well. I also like the subtle background here, something inside your white space, but nothing taking away from it or overdoing it. I think this is all good all around and a bit funny because I understand the context from watching the show.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing really to add, you've captured the anime very well.

~X~

QuiteSplendid responds:

Thank you very much :0 I'm glad you liked it

[Sapphire (Headshot Image)]

Very nice

So this was pretty cool, I especilly love the extra deep texture and colortone very "DEEP" very rich colors that really make this jump out at you, I like the shine and glare on the "GLASSES" maybe the glasses themself could have a sparkl off the end just for extra measure, anyways nice work here.

EvilNeonArts responds:

Maybe glares and glows would be neat in some future stuff :P
