[Why Are You Still Here?]

Deep

Wow this one seems deep, the sadness comes out in the facial expression here. The cold stone like eyes with darkness draws you in to their soul and sadness. You have a unique style here with skin coloring being blue and hair being pink. The small detailed textures inside the hair were wonderful and really brought it more to life. I think the text is nice, but the background transparent shadow for the text reminds me far too much of snapchat text and took me out of the art a bit. I think just try maybe a glow effect around the text next time to keep your theme going.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Improvments to your text background is all you need here.

DirtyBrick responds:

The snapchat thing was kind of the idea. I was in a mood when I did this. I agree though it does look shitty.

[Magic Crotchet Hearts]

Different

Okay so you dont normally see this type of thing, but it did catch my eye and made me think. I love the pink thread you used and the fact you made more than one to display to use. I think you did some good effort here as you dont see any errors or blunders in the work. I wish you put maybe a border or something around it to showcase the photo in a more artistic way, so you had your art in the photo and the photo itself being art.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Border on this would really give it something extra

~X~

xXDani91Xx responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I love using pink, white and purple thread the most. I like your idea about the border. Maybe I will try it when I get back to crocheting more one day. :)

[Dikachu]

Lol

Now how does one catch that? hhahahahaha I think this is great, it gave me a chuckle and smile. I love your use of "BALLS" and the coloring of the balls with the yellow dick shafts lol. I think you are skilled at design by turning something cute into a dick, literally. I love the coloring and all, but you do need a background, maybe a giant vagina or another pokemon that is a body part? Just an idea here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just more stuff in your background, you need a giant vagina

~X~

amandadarko responds:

Thank you so much lmao. Well they are just doodles. Whenever someone commissions something they can choose to have a background. This is an example to get people interested.

[Click Me]

Surreal

Ok this is a bit surreal, but in a way you are making people want more. You used a drawing and art with sexual themes, but hid the goods unless you "CLICK ME" which isn't possible for the art portal, but maybe this is your intention at a later time or for your website? I think omitting things makes for an interesting concept but gives off a surreal image that I am liking very much. Yes you have some good details and use of color here with great body drawing and a good anime style. I would click...

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I think it is great work, but the shoulders and arms seem a bit off from the head, so maybe try to work on that.

~X~

Jradgex responds:

I plan on making a revamp of this piece and selling it as a poster (or shirt, not sure yet...), so I'll keep this all in mind. THANKS SO MUCH!!

[Sleepy]

Cute

awww what adorable little creatures of bunny and cats you have here. I love the use of pink pixels for their bodies and the squinty eye looks they have on their faces. The overall look is good for pixels and I can see why you are showing all three in one image with a white background, but maybe next time move them around and make a full setting with a background and some interaction between creatures. I love it for the design, but wish it had more going on.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above, mainly a background

~X~

maruki responds:

Thanks for all your feedback. I made this very quickly and focusing solely on AA, that's why the final result is so empty.

[Have a drink for charity! The Mustache Glass]

Cool

I found this to be very cool and for a great cause. I love your use of brush strokes with the paint and the painting overall is great. You have covered the entire piece from start to finish and I very much enjoy that work. I think that your colors used are good warm tones and the glass in the middle is still the star of the piece the way you have drawn things around it to make it a focal point. I think going forward, if showing a true painting in a digital forum, perhaps crop and straighten the art to not include the real life background setting, but some people do art this way on purpose to give a unique look and that may be the case here. Now ofecourse there are some things that could be worked on as explained, but anyways i was very pleased with your idea here and it was kinda nifty, pretty awsome infact, anyways untill next time keep up the good work. I will keep an eye out for more of your work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just crop the image to focus on just the image and no background.

~X~

griguette responds:

Hi!
Thanks for helping me again! I took the time to really take good images of most of the paintings and to crop them. i had never really thought of putting the time into doing a proper presentation before so thanks a lot!
Regards,
Grigory

SWEET

This is a great detailed piece of art here. I mean, the effort you put into this is amazing. I can see why you'd be comissoned for work. I love the purple effects for the hand, like a magic spell to be cast. The deep purple with the bright lights is just amazing to look at and draws you in first thing when you look at this art. The background has great use of layers and coloring, the blending, the textures, my lord they are all really well done. I love the wind lik effect of the purple mist and magic swirling around the character. I love love the background having something in the distance and corner and not just some straight forward. This is a great piece of art and I hope to see more from you soon. And here was another great find from the art portal, These art pieces keep me enjoying and wanting more especially to review them. So alot of things get me interested but most of all its these detailed and effort pushed forward such as this one you have here. But anyways I wont really drag this one on any further, I Will just say its been a pleasure to review your work, And I look forward to checking out more of your work here soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing, this is perfect as it is.

~X~

themefinland responds:

Wowza! Thanks a dozen for taking the time to write up a comment this big, I appreciate it a lot and hope you will enjoy seeing my future projects :)

[Dark Phoenix]

Comic style

So this was cool because from the colors alone it reminds me of some comic style stuff really bright colors and those purple orbs of power are pretty nifty you should have those glow more to show off more of it's power but other then that this was good and solid work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some glowing orbs

~X~

hagarrastamnz responds:

[She-Ra - Cartoon PinUp]

Very nice work

So this was very nice work I love the old style look and visual here her attitude is amazing I do think you could ad some shine or sparkle on her crown that would be a nice touch just an idea or suggestion here so go with it and see where it takes off and such it's a nice piece though and hope to see more from you real soon anyways untill next time

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some shine and sparkle on the crown

~X~

HugoTendaz responds:

Thank you. I agree on the shine, it's a good suggestion.

[Thief of Void & The Dream Weaver (page 2)]

Beautiful piece

Wow this was really amazing I really love this and I really love the deep art the deep charchter work and those borders that's what I tell alot of comic people to do and you have the right idea so nice work there the story itself is a beautiful piece of artwork so very good charchter work and it really does bring all the story together I really like this and hope you make more sometime soon cause I can't wait for the next one

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Those borders are already great maybe a glow around them

~X~

AdventVoice responds:

Hmm a glow would be nice...Borders are very important and sometimes I think I have this OCD about lines, I get mad about my lines sometimes cause I want them to be oh so perfect. Again I blame my software for the digital lining issues...but there are awesome ways to compensate for poor programming.
I am glad you love this one. This story is very important to me and I hope I can live up to Thief Of Voids review of my works and continue to create pieces that bring Icarus to mind.
Your Head-Hunter is bad-asshat, though. She was so ready to do me in because she felt I did not capture her best side. I told her she will be seen again, but she is not going to be in every panel. She would like to be though.
As the story continues, you will see more of Thief of Void and the Dream Weaver as they discuss further what it feels like to be able to say, "I survived!"
