[Pumpkin -one-]

Spooky

Well this was kind of spooky I would have liked more brighter eyes and mouth maybe even a glow on it to give off a more spooky and scary feel about it just a little suggested idea to enhance the art piece it's a cool art piece you have though anyways nice work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some brighter eyes and mouth

~X~

ColeBasaraba responds:

This was the first pumpkin painting I did, I have painted a whole bunch since!

You have very keen eyes, the brightness of the inside has been my main focus of my recent pumpkins. I'll try to post some soon, hopefully I have improved in the the glow department since this piece.

Happy Halloween! (Late or way in advance, you decide)

[Jeletor]

Cute

So this was cute I would love for her red gem center piece to be a doughnut that would really be cool the color and textuture on this was pretty cool and just a fun classic charchter so really nice job here I enjoyed reviewing this piece a good art piece indeed

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Ada doughnut

~X~

ColeBasaraba responds:

Every image can be improved with a doughnut!

[Goodbye Montana]

Wickedly cool

Now that was wickedly cool I love that eye ass focus point and I think you can color that eye and nothing else it would be cool and a good idea but regardless it's some really nice detail good shades and and well-done line work I was really impressed within this one

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some color pointsbof focus

~X~

ColeBasaraba responds:

Reading your comments has really made me think about adding select points of color to my grey scale artwork, Sin City style, It would be a good excuse to try different mediums!

And hopefully, will look pretty sharp too.

Thanks for the input, and kind words.

[Level Up]

Very impressive

Now this was a very impressive piece I love the deep color you used here and the look on all the props and such is a big plus so nice work there. Those flames comming out of his arms should have more of a glow to them that would be a cool idea something to try out later

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some glow on the flame
~X~

ColeBasaraba responds:

Adding a glow effect is something I really hope to get better at in the future, it's something that has always been tricky for me. Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

[Crochet Kirby]

Cool

The Kirby was well made and this was the perfect backdrop to have him in this is the kind of stuff I was talking before about background stuff but overall you did pretty good here and still creative here very nice work I like the creative style here anyways nice job

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Really nice work no changes needed here

~X~

SophieYssabeauWare responds:

Thank you very much!! Thats so sweet!

[GuessWhoImproved!Clock]

Cool

So this was pretty cool I like the skull and the black backround was perfect, I think if you put a burst of light around the skull it would glare off the skull with a nice visual, but besides that this was a pretty good drawing and design, so nice detail here.

I'll get right on that nine years ago

[yuri fanart]

Decent

Well this was notbad pretty decent work as I said in the other one some smoother lines would suffice just fine some deeper colors and in this case some background detail those eyes I can see you adding a sparkle and shine comming off of them but nice charchter work here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few suggestions made just above

~X~

starbaka responds:

[You're Gonna Be Great! Bellemere's Love and Nami's Tears!]

Interesting

Well this was interesting, I do think the mother looks more sinister than comforting. I would just work on the eyes and facial expressions, she seems a bit off there, but you have the crying portion of this down for the child. I love the coloring and lines you have used, your character design is something I've seen before but a bit of an original twist. The hair shaved design was pretty neat too. The grass they stand on is a good background element, but it could use some more background, like a sky or scenery back there. I like the clothing detail and overall design you have going.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This needs more of a background, it has the grass and some starts of a background but I would go all out and do more.

~X~

C-Johnigan responds:

First of all, THANK YOU! It's been forever since I had any sort of criticism ever so it's a breath of fresh air to hear you go on about what can be improved on my work.

Second, I see where you're coming form about the mother's smile; it does come off a little malicious given a second glance but I tried to keep in mind of the character I was trying to portray. I didn't think it appeared that way but that may be my bias talking.

As for the background, in the anime that I was inspired by, There were minimal scenes just like this where the background was greatly faded. I called myself mimic those scenes

[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.

~X~

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. :)
