[Clay Tankman]

Good clay sculpture

~~REVIEW~~
Nice job on this art piece and bringing the tankman alive, you seemed to really bring it forward and show much of the detail that cant be showen on the toon form, so the clay character is looking pretty good, i think you could have done something with the backround such as some sorta "CARDBOARD-CUTOUT" like of a city drop like newgrounds has its header, also the gun seemed off, maybe if it was a grey-ish color with a few black detail points, might bringout that it really is a weapon of destruction, and i dont know if it can be done but abit of shine might have been nice on the goggles, now thats alot to be said, dont get me wrong this was a pretty good piece, i think if you had him posed like in an "ACTION-SCENE" it would show off more realisim if you will say, but really for the mostpart this was pretty impressive

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
The gun could use some detail maybe if it was more of a lighter color like grey, you could have done something with the backround such as some sorta "CARDBOARD-CUTOUT" like of a city drop like newgrounds has its header, and some sorta shine on the goggles wouldnt hurt.

PikaRobo responds:

Thank you for your review, I like how you gave me things to improve on (a very rare thing that I see in other reviews). I do agree with you that this one probably needs the most work, especially the gun. There is no background on any of them and they are in no pose on purpose because they are just photos of the models themselves, (though I should start to doing that), And the other thing is Tankman has only 2 colors, white and black, and I couldn't really make a shine if I use pure white, can I? I definitely could if possible though (such as Hank's goggles.)
Despite those problems, thanks for the feedback. :)

[Color Swathe]

Like an ocean

~~REVIEW~~
Now this here is another amazing piece, i really am impressed with the use of color and differant designs that you present us with, now this particular piece kinda reminds me of a ray beam or even some strange happening under the water, once i get back into flash i would really like to use some of your art pieces as they are great backrounds and such, but anyways as for this one i could see you improving on it with maybe a large water creature like a "WHALE" or like i said earlier a ray gun with the beam, now the beam is great but im thinking you could ad abit more "BRIGHTNESS" in there and or some "SPARKLES" that will give it that extra shine, now with all that being said and such, i think that the backround could use abit of work too some sparkles in a simple way as to not take away from the beam itself, But anyways thanks again for making some simple yet beatiful artwork, i look forward to reviewing more soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add some sparkle effects in the backrounds, ad some more brightness to the beam it self like with the circles, and i mentioned add some other props like a whale as this reminded me of the ocean below

Shikhs responds:

thanks for the sparkle advise but as far as brightness is concerned it makes it look a little to lazy anyways thanks for the review

[Strange Flower]

could be improved

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so this is simple as you stated, the white gives off that effect, and the light colors aswell, i think its too bland though and you still could have the bland whiter spots filled to make some other like "FLOWERS" in there that would still keep it the simple style while adding to it aswell, maybe some detailed flowers all in the bland spots but the flowers themself would standout with detail within them but also not take away from the main image at hand, just an idea that i think would really improve on this, i have really enjoyed all of your art and enjoy the feedback aswell, so keep making the awsome stuff you do and keep improving as i do notice the improvments with each and every new piece, As for this one it does need them bland points fixed up just abit but overall i really liked what you have here, anyways keep up the good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Fill in the bland spots maybe with some standout flowers or other type of props

Shikhs responds:

thanks for the review(actually more for the advice)Next one will be better

[The Reviving Light]

Another Fantastic planet

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so i checkedout the other one and now im here, this was simular to the last one, but this one is actually abit better, it seems to have a "SMOOTHER" feel and more better glow around the globe, also all the colors seem to glow and light up just right, now there does seem to be something in the middle, cant really figure that one out, but it looks pretty neat, so nice job there i really like the little touches here and there that really made this a much better piece then the other planet, now if i can suggest anything like the other planet piece i would say add some stars and even a shooting star in the space backround and again like the other one maybe a planet or two in the distance aswell, all these little extras will really give it that feel as one is there, something to think about if ever doing simular stuff, i would even go as far as to add maybe a sun in the backround with a super bright lightness to the main planet here at hand, but anyways this was really neat and i enjoyed it, hope to see more real soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
kinda like the other one this needs some backround props and things like stars.

Thank u

Love the texture

~~REVIEW~~
Love this art piece, it has a very nice texture from the paints/pencils im thinking more pencils? but anyways this little piece you have here really seems to tell abit of a story, now at-first i thought it was paintings in the backend there but as i looked at it much more it looks more like the window to the outside world which really made much more sense of it all, now he has a mask and just his hair showing off which was neat and good use of colors aswell as great textures, as to improve on this, i would work more on that window or bars you have back there give it more of a cleer look as to it looks like bars, i was un-clear there at-first so that might be something to work on or in a future painting, but really you have an awsome piece here and i was pleased to see it great stuff indeed. so just fix a few things as suggested its not even something that needs changing just my point of view.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
not much but maybe make the window look more like bars or something of that matter.

KannibalKim responds:

yea i do have to work on it. It looks weird because of the waxy coating the colored pencils give off. but when i figure out how to get rid of that, i'll take another pic :D

[Dead Sun]

Nice could use more though

~~REVIEW~~
this one was interesting, i like the glow of it and the lighting effects, allthough you could have used more of the lighting effects to represent it more, now its called "DEAD SUN" so there is probably not much life in it but i think if it has some life, you should have some flames in there left just a tad here and there, like a flame that is almost out and maybe it could blend with the blue aura around it aswell, just something that would spice up this piece abit more, and now as for the "BACKROUND" if this is a dead sun in space you should probably do a little something with it, like some stars and a space feel hey even a "SHOOTING STAR" wouldnt hurt or maybe even other "PLANETS" in the distance, these are just a few ideas that might help. you have to really fill in all areas so it gives the viewer the feel of really being there, now you have the lighting effects down and an idea, it will all come together in time so good luck and awsome piece once again.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few ideas i mentioned above i hope that will help like, some backround starsm planets and so-on and even some flames around the main planet aswell.

Shikhs responds:

Thank you

[STick Star War]

A battle of energy

~~REVIEW~~
Wow now here is something really interesting and i love your lighting effects style and you mixed it with other kinda art, thats what i was talking about with your other stuff that has just the lighting style, now the "STICKS" would not be my first choice on other mixture of art, but it seemed to fit well, the only thing i didnt like on this would have been the "BLUE" beams that was around the stick to the left, but other then that i was impressed especially with the backround and all the colors it made it a really complete art piece, now also this could have used even more lighting effects as this was a "BATTLE" so really think of the battle and give all this energy around it, so then making it really feel like the battle is taking place, so i liked this it could use abit of fixing up but also is ok by what i saw, anyways another good piece here hope to see more from you soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A few fixes could take place such as, some more lighting effects, and maybe a differant choice of character but its still an ok piece.

Shikhs responds:

Thanks

[Abstraction 2]

Colorful

~~REVIEW~~
I am slowly getting to your other pieces, you seem to realy like the "LIGHTING" effects and such. im thinking you should change up styles now and then, while the lighting style is awsome, try and mix it up more like you did with the bob one, which i thought was pretty fantastic, as for this one you seem to have lots of stuff all around and in odd places. some stuff was not needed such as the crcles with the X's and stuff, i just think there is too much stuff in this one, so lose a few props and and try and work in other forms of art like your bob one were you had a green very smooth looking piece, so too much is not always a good thing, but too bland is not a good thing aswell, i did like this but some fixes need to take place on this one i thought, anyways good luck on your next entry.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
In this one i thought you had too much stuff going on, lose a few props here and there and also i would be better to add differant styles of your art in there aswell.

~X~

Shikhs responds:

yep you are right shouldnt have cramped up the space
