[Japanese Dragon]

Its Decent.

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so i thought i would start on this one as i like dragons, and you used one of my faveourite colors, so nice job there, i am thinking that these designs you have are pretty impressive but i also think you need a mixture of program use, like say if you used photoshop and or paintshop pro you could really "DAZZLE" it up woth brighter colors, and some other effects that would really bring the dragon out, also i wouldnt mind some backround scene, as it would also bring out the picture more in "FULL" say like you could have some black and white backround then the red dragon, that would really put some focus on the main item at hand, just a few ideas that would really bring this out in focus, The texture is notbad on the dragon but again the color could be sharper and even have more texture with other programs, but also as it is now with the pencils i think its notbad and looks ok, As another idea i wouldnt mind seeing some "EFFECTS" on the eyes, like you could have them "GLOWING" or something, So all in all its a nice design of a dragon i like the style, could use a few things here and there but i did enjoy it, so nice job.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As explained, a few fixes here and there, some glowing of the eyes, some brighter colors in the texture, maybe a black and white backround so theres more focus on the dragon and still giving the image a full effect.

MonoFlauta responds:

ha yes, a black background would be awesome and a metal color for the dragon i am thinking it would be better with a bit of red... thanks for the very usefull review!

[Planetai]

Notbad

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so here we go, another great piece with the great effect of the sunlight, now to be tottally honest this is some of my fave stuff from you and you should do that more with your newer works of art, and from looking at this older stuff you can see the changes you have gone through with all the differant art pieces, very nice indeed if you ask me, but as for this one the "STARS" again i think are too much here, but that can be easily fixed with making some larger ones and losing a few others, now as for the "SUN-GLARE" the one coming off the planets with the rings thats a neat little trick but i think its one of those old tricks im not so sure that might be the actualy effect in space or maybe it will but, im thinking you do need to come up with some better ideas there, but with all that said, you have presented another great piece, not my fave like the other planets and such, but still ok with me, now this may have been the last piece of art i have left to review, it has been a pleasure reving these and i hope to review more when you have something new, so good luck in future stuff.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Here would be less stars and larger ones at that.

Shikhs responds:

thanks for the review i will make more for you to review

[The Real Moon]

Awsome

~~REVIEW~~
Another impressive one here, this couldnt be more perfect to be honest, you have everything i

always tell you about in other pieces, like the backround stars, allthough there was too much

of the "STARS" i still though it was a great touch in making this look real, and just a not i

have also made this one of my faves to my faves list, but anyways back to the art at hand, The

sunlight is perfect and its brightness and how it reflects off the planet, then you have the

what i think is exploding smaller planet? well that was a nice touch i thought, a few fixes

could make this even more of a perfect piece like the "EXPLODING" or firey planet needs to be

small like showing its more in the distance, and you could lose a few stars as its abit much,

maybe have differant sizes of stars not all the same size, that might give it a more realistic feel to it. So anyways another great piece by you, i cant wait for more.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Start off with less stars and differant sizes of stars and such, make the firey planet smaller and seem more in the distant, just a few ideas that maybe will help to improve on this or a later version.

~X~

Shikhs responds:

thanks for the review as for the stars thing you are right and the exploding planet is none other than Earth therefore i made it smaller so as to create an effect of watching the destruction of earth from the moon

[Tingu]

Love the texture.

~~REVIEW~~
Now i didnt see this one, i love this one, i even added it as one of my faves on my faves list, this has its own uniqueness to it, i love the texture like of the large center warp, now not sure what this could be used in but it has some really nice texture, and the four other smaller warps are also perfect in place and also great with its texture aswell, i do think this could be shown larger with a larger canvas view screen, so maybe as an idea you could show off more of the detail and even ad in a few more warps and such, I have seen alot of your stuff now, and this is one of my faves, im pretty sure you can make another version and make it with much more lighting effects, give it that lighting skill you have, that would be very impressive, The center lighting circles in each of the warps could be brighter, it will show off more of the focus and such, so theres another idea or two for you to work with, anyways great job, i loved this piece, and hope to see more like it soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A larger canvas screens, more brightness in the center circles, and maybe even some deeper texture of the warps.

~X~

Shikhs responds:

thank you for the review next time i will make it better with my lighting effect

[Abstraction]

too bland

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm now this one is differant, this reminds me of maybe some sorta plane crash like at an air show or something and you can see the red explosions, and orange explosions, all just being destroyed, kinda like two planes just coming together, the blue backround gives off that air show feel, i think a few more effects and lighting should be in the backround and if you go with that idea you could actually get a plane of some sort in the backround, well something along them lines, i think it would be pretty neat if you ask me, But it does need more then what you do have in there as its too bland needs more "DETAIL" like props and such, but anyhow i still liked it, so notbad with this one, not your best but not the worst either.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Its too bland and needs more detail and even props.

~X~

Shikhs responds:

Thanks for the constructive advise ill work on it

[Pure Energy]

Radio-Waves of the dead

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so here is something slightly differant but yet still with your own style, its differant in the sense that it has a differant feel, like this reminds me of some radio waves but its like from some scary movie where the dead or ghosts are trying to speak to the people on the other side or something like that, so nice job on getting that part in a differant feel. now as for improving on this one, well, I would like to see more "EYES" and even bodies forming somewhat but yet still keep it like waves of energy that are just waving through, just an idea though, maybe oneday you will make a 2nd version of this, but for what it is, i really like it and it has emotion crawling from it, and thats what i like to see in artwork, such as yours.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Have some eyes in there maybe a few like comingout at you.

~X~

Shikhs responds:

Thank you very very much

[Looking upto the Sun]

Its better

~~REVIEW~~
Ok so i got around to reviewing this one, Now compared to the other one this one is less cramped which i mentioned so im glad to see you take some of my advice, and i do get a pleasure in reviewing your work just as much as i enjoy getting them responded too, but anyways this has some better use of colors then the other one, I do however think it needs some "STARS" in the backround though, since this does remind me of outer space and all, I also like the being in the middle it kinda reminds me of those spirit things from avatar, now that might be an idea for you there with your lighting effects you could really make something like avatar beings or something, but anyways i thought this was pretty decent, much more improved since the last one.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
some stars would really light this up abit

~X~

Shikhs responds:

thank you very much for the review.I now seem to feel the errors

[Ghost]

Ghost hehe

~~REVIEW~~
Wow ok now i didnt even realise this, now that i can see it it is most impressive, infact i like it so much that i have added to my faves list so props to you on this one, and i like how it is some sorta ghost, me liking ghosts and all heh, but other then that props to you on another brilliant idea here, now with all the differant colors you seem to really make this come alive, the eyes are just perfect and they do give off a sad look to them and all, now normally i would suggest some backround but i think its more fitting that its just pitchblack back there, In this the eyes seem to really comeout very well and really showing emotion and that this is a ghost of some sort which i really thoought was neat, so awsome job here on making something that jumps out at you not only in color but it really does look like its a ghost, So props to you for a wonderful piece, here is where i might suggest something to improve on, if anything it would probably be some brighter eyes or something.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Make the eyes much more brighter, but other then that its pretty impressive if i say so myself.

~X~

Shikhs responds:

thank you for finally reviewing this and maybe you can use this ghost in ghost motel 12 lol

[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.

~X~

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

~X~

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
