very nice effects

So this was something neat and has a very good look to it, i really was attracted to how you used some effects like with the "BLURRING" out the backround as to keep more focus on the character, and there with the character very sharp and fresh looking nice lines and great color tones, the "PINK" horn on her head seems like it could have had more of a glow or shine to it though, This was a pretty good character design and drawing, maybe adding some shine to the metal would also help more of a sparkly type of shine, The "FONT/TEXT" you had up there at top was cool but maybe something more fancy would sufice, these are just some little details that could bringout the drawing abit more focus, anyways nice work indeed.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So while this was pretty decent i did suggest a few ideas that can make it somewhat more unique in a way so hope you consider some of the tips suggested, The pink like horn could use some shine too it, The font could have a more fancy look, And more shine on the metal, some spraklies here and there would be a great addition, just a few ideas to think about.

MindChamber responds:

i totally agree! and thanks for the tips!

[Beware of Dogtooth]

This was interesting

I really like the dark feel here and dark touch, also the touch of black and white with a touch of some blood was also a nice little piece of work there, this whole piece was great of a zombie like hunter, allthough the body "PORTION" seemed off as his legs looked odd from the rest of the body, maybe it was just the view of it and all, but it was no big deal just a little notice, i wouldnt mind seeing more blood someplaces and maybe some of the eyes in the backround more glowing and so on, just an idea and such.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I dont think you need to improve on anything particular, maybe just some more glow in the eyes of the distant zombies in the backround but thats about it i suppose.

sucho responds:

my perspective here was total shit. thankfully i think i have improved on that somewhat, if only through underconfidence and more photo-referencing.

[Elk's 2D Fighting WotLK RPG]

So this was interesting

I like this but the one thing that bothered me on this piece was that it was kind of small in size, so one improvment i would like to suggest is make a larger "CANVUS-SIZE" maybe then you can show more of that detail, even throw in a mix of more color aswell, these tips would improve on this greatly, it does need some mix of color though but other then that i thought this was a nice and nifty piece, anyways nice work here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Make a larger canvus, show more detail, but mostly add some more color.

ElkDarkshire responds:

its pixelart though :)

[Ruh Ruh]

Tree people.

This was very "CREATIVE" i love these tree like people, and i thought there was a "SIMPLISTIC" feel about them with some "SOFT" touches of color and elements and that was kinda neat and made it interesting, also want to give you some props on the backrounds as you presented some related stuff it was again simple and that seems to work here so nice effort there, So very creative elegant and something exotic you have here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This was a cool art piece, some more darker shadow like feel in the backround would be a plus on this piece, but overall it was welldone.

ConnyNordlund responds:

Haha I thought the " were you being sarcastic at first.
Thank you!

As for the background; That's a good point. The piece was actually going to be a concept piece more than a illustration, I just dialed in the background in a few minutes so that it would make the characters more interesting. I know what you mean with darker shadows but I didn't want to go too dark so the characters become too unclear, since they had to work as concept pieces in the end.

[Western Zombies]

Zombies cool

Very nicework here, this was my choice of something to review today and the zombies really stuck out, you really gave it the dark touch and feel of it and such, I like how you put a couple of "ZOMBIES" in this kinda like they are in some attack phase, even the backround was pretty decent and was notbad atall, the drawings are good here, nice use of color to give that dark and grungy feel but really good in giving off the dark touch to it.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So an idea might to put more "BLOOD" more dripping blood, and maybe even farther aproach put some "SHADOWED" zombies in the backround like in the distance.

Artist-Lost responds:

Thanks for the critique ^.^ I see what you meen, some dripping flesh and blood like they have just fed would be a great touch, and the zombie silhouettes would make a good impression of a horde rather then just a cute zombie couple out for a wilderness picnic

[Witch Hut]

Nice and dark

Sothis was interesting i love this for alot of things actually, starting with an overtop view great view there, the little "ANIMATIONS" was also a plus aswell, Then there is the actual drawings very fine work, nice detailing and nice use of shades and color, it all came together to make for one dark moment, so the effort does comeout in this and thats a plus, ithink the onlything that could make this better was that you could make the canvas or view screen area a much larger scale, something to think about anyways.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So there was alot of possitive stuff here the only improvment would be to show a larger scale canvus so maybe you can show more stuff or more of theworld you are creating, and allowsfor more detail to show off aswell.

BagamCadet responds:

Thanks you.
The original is a normal drawing without an animated smoke and flies, and is alot more larger.
I just made it smaller so that the animations would run smoothly.

[Agua y fuego.]

Wow i love this one.

This was something neat here it was unique and differant, i really love random stuff like this because it really shows the creativity of the art style and artpiece itself, the "EYES" really cameout well and the raindrop style here is notbad either, In my opinion i think there is alot of "WHITE" areas in there that may be your intent but with the big cigar or joint maybe abit darker area there so that you can acent the "SMOKE" and fire of it abit better, but besides that this was pretty good i thought, I amreally looking forward to more of what you have in store for us here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So as mentioned, too much white areas maybe some darkening up here and there would be nice, and more smoke effect aswell, just an opinion though.

Jlescobar responds:

thanks for watching, and your opinion ;)

[Controllers - Super Famicon]

Wow

Wow i remember this, this takes me back because way back when, before the super nes cameout this was the version over seas, so it was pretty neat, the controllers cameout nice, love the "SOFT" feel you are giving it here as it is realisticly, i love the shine you gave it, really nice work here, cant see anything that could be better as its alreaty pretty good if youask me, but maybe a more "3-D" version would be a plus, anyways nice job here takes you back to yesteryear.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Well as mentioned its already as good as can be but maybe a 3d version of some sort

datamouth responds:

yeah. i had the US version of the sues. with the lavender buttons. i always was a bit jealous of the people that had the non US version. the color buttons were so dope. i will make a 3D version for sure. i already started an xbox one and i'm planning on doing the Turbogrfx (with the turbo buttons) and the genesis. eventually i might do NES and Sega Master System ones. thanx for the great review!

[COW #3 Logo]

Oh wow I love this

Wow i must say this was very "ARTISTIC" it had some nice vibrant colors and the whole drawing really just jumped out at ya and thats what really caught my attention so for the mostpart this was pretty good, there was alot of vibrant detail aswell with little things like the lights on the horns and the lights and such, maybe have the lights bright up more then you have them, that would be pretty impressive if you ask me, but i really enjoyed this for its artistic feel and such, anyways keep up the awsome work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So as some slight improvments have more glow from the lights, and maybe even within the brain, and possibly some extra shine from bulbs aswell.

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

Next time you write a review, please have some idea what you're talking about. I've seen your pics with the pointless lens effects in them, and I'm unsurpised they obliterate the whole image.
