REAL

Wow very real, gritty, and speaks to me. The pain here and overall exposure of the human body really shines out in this piece. The eyes tell a story and the body does too. The use of red really brings out that "PAIN" aspect of the art and makes you feel interested and sympathetic to the creation. The eyes coloring of red really draws you in to them and work
well with the overall piece, more so the size of the eyes and the pain you can see in the face especially in those cracks under the eyes. The way the head isnt quite on or the arms moving around give this character and makes you wonder what they experienced or what you've been dealing with. Normally I'd say add more of a background but the burning like effect you have here really covers a lot of the picture so it doesn't really need to be added but maybe a full red or full fire background would add to this. You are a very black/white artist with some color but I think maybe try around with backgrounds and see if they suit you. Otherwise this is great art here. Alright so here is another fine piece of art, it is intriging yet somewhat dry but i still think its the kind of unique style that I have come to enjoy from artists like yourself, There are Unlimited possibilities that you can do here and with some more creative ideas. anyways good job on this piece and future pieces. We for sure need more artists like yourself that bring out the best in pieces like this, This has a nice blend of srtistic styles and Radiates with your own style aswell, so props to you for such a unique piece.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing really but maybe a different background or play around with backgrounds.

Unique

This here is something a bit different in terms of how you colored your piece. The coloring and textures and details in the hair are great, lots of colors to give off a hair look, but then youve aded this cool line coloring effect that make it pop out a bit more and make it unique. I also foudn the constelation on the cheek to be a great additonal touch for this "TARUS". I love the nose piece and her overall expression seems fiting for a tarus. I would fix the one horn as it appares the hair is transparent from it when it reality it would be going around it. Your shading and blending or mixing of colors for her skin was a unique touch as well. The background is a good sky space setting with details and stars. I love this one and keep it up. Ok well to really get into this review, this was not a perfect piece, it was interesting and could be even better then it already is, I think for the mostpart this was a unique and interesting piece of art, so thruout the review i hope you will find some fun and possitive ideas. I will for sure look for your work in the future as it sparked an interest with me so it was a decent effort and it was different. It may need some small Polished points here or there but you gave it just the right Expression that it needed.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Maybe more glow off those stars in the background, a bit of a sunburst inside each star and just fix up that horn

Thank you for the review! I always welcome critique that can help me improve my art :) I'll keep in mind what you said and make a few changes. Thanks again!

[Character Art]

Very detailed

Now this one was very nice and the amount of detail on all the characters was wow so much detail so much shading just a beautiful bunch of charchter work here now while this is a white background for the detail of the characters this could use a darker border or frame of some sort but just an idea here or there

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A dark tone of borders or frames

lamgiang responds:

@ XwaynecoItX: thanks for the feedback. I will try that next time.

[Articuno]

WOW

This is some really well done fan art. The pokemon has a great detailed background that really comes at you and brings the pokemon to life. The expression in the eyes is also good and keeps with its character traits. The sparkle and shines all around this as a foreground are a great addition to make it really pop and look like a battle may occur. The glow in the wings is really eye catching and really gives this art something special. The colors are good too but the green feels a bit limited. Overall a good piece and a good fan art. And so this was a good piece I found today, and will start this review off with saying that you know what you are doing, you have a good idea of what you want to do and it all seems to workout well. I like the progress you have done here, And I Applaud you for the good effort. So it was a pleasure reviewing this piece and I hope one day to review more of your work as I thought it was a unique piece, This just Radiates a blend of unique style about it, so keep up the positive ideas and effort.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
The green part of the background just needs to be bigger and maybe have more green in this.

EdoNova87 responds:

I really glad i love my work :3

[Jackalope]

Good

I think this here is a good sketch work but could use a few more improvement like more of background as those ink lines seem a bit of a rushed inclusion. I love how realistic this is and how you tried to create a more complicated head-turn position rather then a profile or front view sketch. The eyes are very cute and beedie, and the details for the ink lines are very well done adding texture to the piece. I love the added flower they are eating too. I Applaud you on this one, These kinds of pieces I really come to love because they just sort of jump out at you and tell a sort of story. very Engaging. Its always good to come across different and unique styles of art and as we come to the end of this review I will get to some helpful options soon. One might be that this could be Polished with more Expression of creativity.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just more of a background, maybe colorize this

Wow, thank you for such an in-depth critique! Right now I’m not too good at backgrounds, so I’ll be sure to work on them!

[[C] Valentines Day]

Adorable

Wow a good way to spend your Valentines at Disney. I plan to take my girl there one day, she will enjoy it...this reminds me of that and it has a cute and honest feeling to it. Not so much romantic as more of a cute girl/boy piece that shows the joys of dating and friendship. I think the coloring and anime style you used here is good and your shadows and light effects all make it come to life. I dont think much needs changing maybe less black in the background. You are good with your style here and I think over time will only get better. I love the clouds of the background most as they really seem realistic with details and the effect you used. You have a nice piece of art here, you brought out lots of nice elements in this and made it your own style thats what I liked about this its not just put out there but you really made it jump out, so nice job there and i look forward to more from you soon. Nice effort here the art piece is different and I like what you did here and the talent shows off well, So I do like this and you will have me interested in more of these types.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
The black space around the background seems a bit much to me, maybe crop it down a bit to focus more on the couple here.

~X~

holikrep responds:

Aw thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words! I appreciate you taking the time to do that, it means a lot! I did end up regretting not cropping it down a bit more but sadly I lost the original file during a factory reset so i'm not sure how well it'd crop anymore ;; I will be more careful about that in the future though! I'm really happy you liked the clouds ;u; )r I was probably most proud of them even though they more or less happened through a string of accidents

[LateNightTaxi]

Love this

Now this I really love and love the taxi and the water and the moon I do however think the moon should be bigger more glowing more shine on the water and have a beam of light just to give it that extra effect that it seems like it could be missing just a tad but you have some massive talent and I commend you on that so nice job here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some bigger moon more money light beam down on water etc

lamgiang responds:

@XwaynecoItX: thanks for taking your time giving me feedback on each piece :). I try to explore various techniques in my work. There are rooms for improvement.

[Tokyo Midnight Diner]

Very nice

This style of paint is really nice the texture is beautiful the detail is spectacular and the whole piece as a whole is just very artistic and I love it very much indeed and I don't see any need for improvments on this fine piece as it's very well done and doesn't need any changes at all but anyways besides all that this was a fun piece to review

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Nothing as this was a beautiful piece of work

~X~

Delfos responds:

Thanks a lot!

[Portrait of old man]

Wow

So this being the second piece of yours I'm reviewing I have to say this was absolutely beautiful I love the dark textuture especially what you did with the hair and the deep complection I do however still think this needs more of a portrait border and frame maybe even in color so that the black and white really comes out too anyways nice job here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As mentioned a colored border or frame on edges

~X~

Fantastikus responds:

I really appreciate your reviews ,and I will try to put some kind of frame on my future projects. Thank you for helpful reviews!!! :)

[Bitten]

Very nice indeed

This was very nice work the detail is just amazing the shades are just perfect and I love the black and white but wouldn't mind some color but regardless of that maybe a sparkle or two on the eye or some more shine just little details like that really could bring it out even more but what you do have is pretty impressive anyways keep up the hard work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some more sparkle and maybe color

~X~

ColeBasaraba responds:

Funny enough, I've been adding a fair amount of highlights and sparkles to my most recent work. I enjoy keeping most of my "Horror" artwork grey scale, or Black & White; I usually use a lot of color in my Fantasy style artwork, but I will definitely try using it in future horror artwork to experiment.
