[Slice 'em Up]

Mega-Cool

I love the Zero here and the Meta-Knight. An interesting combination of friends here. I love how much detail you put into this, because pieces like this with battles call for lots of details. The shards and pieces from the use of the weapons are a nice touch. I think the only issue here is some of the lines. I think they need to go and blend into colors more and that one brush you used seems to create an uneven choppy detail the rest of the artwork doesn't have so id try to limit different brushes that are too different from the art. The one I am refering to is used for Zero's sword and the edges. It just seems a bit out of place for me. Other than that this is very well done and great work. I love the glowing of their weapons and the body positions are spot on for battle. Now every once in awhile someone comes along with something good here, and I like how you presented it, its not perfect or anything, but it is pretty good and has some nice visual about it, so nice work here on this one, and I look forward to see what you do come up with. Ok so nice work here on this art piece you bring a certain something to the table and it really shows off well, This Radiates an Expression of creativity and unique-ness, so keep doing what you do.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Do not use too many different brushes when drawing the art as it can take away from the piece if it stands out too much.

NovayaCM responds:

Thank you so much for this in depth review, I really appreciate it!! I'll definitely take those things into account for my next drawings. I actually used the same brush for Zero's sword that I did for the entire line art, its just when I increase the size it looks more jaggy, but I've been experimenting on smoother brushes to use for the future.

[Bubble Wand]

Original

How very wonderful to see an orginal idea here executed in a great way. The bright lights bubble colors are really interesting and give a great star effect in the choice of that yellow and shines/lighting. The character sitting creating these bubbles seems to be having a delightful time and it gives you a sense of calm when looking at the happy expression the character shows in their eyes. The little fish inside this large bubble seem to also be very happy and having a great time. I think they want to join them in making the bubbles. I love the large bubbles effect, it really gives you a sense of dept in the art and the coloring of the blues go well with all the yellows. The nebula type effect in that background is also visually appealing. Maybe make the stars in the background a bit brighter, they seem a bit dim and lost with the rest of the artwork but it is still beautiful non-the-less, So these types are a good style of art, and I like the effort you have put fourth in this and the whole idea and concept is even nice, I Applaud you and give you Kudo's on the progress of this fine piece, really seems like you have done a welldone piece here, and i was impressed. So with all that said its almost time for me to end this review, but I will say that it was a pleasure checking this piece out it brings alot to the table.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More bright stars in the background, the smaller white ones, just a bit more shine to them.

berserkbrandee responds:

Thank you for the very in-depth review! I really appreciate it and I'll keep in mind making stars in the background brighter in my future pieces! :)

[Inktober day 19 (cloud)]

A brilliant piece

And here you have a beautiful piece the black and white is nice and the design on all the drawings here is nice I wouldn't mind seeing more of this style but throughout the whole canvus giving off a very artistic view of everything but what you do have is really good and some nice work indeed so nice work on this one

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More fill in. On the canvus

~X~

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

I enjoy filling a canvas. Maybe that will be my inktober challenge this year!

[Inktober day 21(furious)]

Inktober

So I'm not too familiar with the whole inktober but I am assuming just black and white I'm one that loves color and could see you adding much more but I do like the sketch here with the detail and it has this whole artistic style about it off that sketch as for improvement I'm not sure it being for the inktober but was pretty awesome as is

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
No improvments on this fine piece

~X~

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Lol thanks, and yes, Inktober is supposed to be a daily pen and ink.

Some people do use colored ink, but most of them are black and white.

Maybe I try to add some color this year!

[Inktober day 20 (deep)]

Very intense

Now this one was very intense with very good detail the scratch marks are perfect I wouldn't mind seeing some red in here for blood and wounds just to give off the realisim of this pain on the back and would look really good in that sense but anyways very nice work here it's been a pleasure to review this untill next time keep up the good work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some blood scratch marks

~X~

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

In retrospect, I wish I really had made him bleed. He wasn't worth any of my time.
A solid review. More blood! :-)

[Cave Storys group shot]

Love it

So there's so much variations here of all the different characters and such the Sprite work is very good though and I just love how this was all put together and is artistic in it's own way I would put a big beam of light to shine on all the other characters anyways nice job on this piece of art work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A beam of light would be nice

~X~

ScepterDPinoy responds:

That would be a good idea to have a light source.

[Gift]

Very artistic

Wow this one was very intense and that's on a whole other level here the use of color is amazing the black the white then all the shiny stuff and props I really love all the props like necklace and glasses they need much more shine and a lot of sparkle and glare like give the glasses some glare the necklace some sparkle and her lips some shine just a few ideas thrown at you for improving onto this fine artistic piece

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some shine some glare and some sparkle needed

~X~

Kunachi responds:

I do hope you realize this piece of art is like, 8 years old?
Thanks though.

[Mr. Buisness man]

Artistic

I found this to be very artistic and a style of it's own. The black background almost fits but then I want to see his world he's walking away or too from. The character itself is really good with a meshed color that made for some nice texture but anyways very nice work I loved it and it's from simple to depth so nice job

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some background scene

~X~

StalkerGuy responds:

Thank you for the review! This drawing is pretty old and I realize could have done a lot of things better.

[rubber boy]

Very nice work here

Wow this was great kind of reminds me of the nightmare characters you have added so much detail and depth to the character it's just uncanny so you have some massive talent here and it shows off well I would think about doing something with that background though it's just too plain anyways keep up the great work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some more detail and depth in the background

~X~

manicthecat responds:

hey thanks man!!! also sorry it took me a long to get back to you. im just kind of a lazy p.o.s. ya know lol.

[Floating through space]

Pretty

The background and effects here are very pretty to look at and the color use is very spot on for a space type setting. I think the cat needs a bit of work, just fine detailing and maybe less use of lines in the outline of the image to flow more with that space type background. It was good that you used a bit of color in those lines but maybe try a blending of the colors instead of simply changing the black line to a color that matches the fill colors. Overall a very interesting pretty artwork. I love stars and space so I did enjoy this one. You have shown some decent effort here, and it does spark some interest especialy with me, its the little things that keep me interested like this piece. I got a good feel with this art piece, it was interesting yet it could use a few improvments as stated already, but overall I thought this was actually a pretty good piece, so keep up the decent artwork here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just try to blend your main image with the background more and use less lines to give a better look

thewolfprime responds:

Thanks so much! Yeah I've been working on improving my line work. :)
