[Machi scribble 01]

Cute art

So this was some "CUTE-ART" here it almost reminds me of some "PIXEL-ART" it was a bit bland though especially in the backround and I could see you adding a little more depth in the backround even as some subtle props and such, But anyways thi was pretty good work here.

MachiToons responds:

hmm... yea i get what you're saying, but a scribble is a scribble afterall haha
I meant this mostly just as a warm-up, since I hadn't drawn it quite some time, personally those simple backgrounds are just a way for me to add strong contrast, a color study so to say.

Thanks for the tip regardless, I agree there's just a tad too much negative space in this

Cool character here

So the "PURPLE" is looking good and I think adding some extra shine on the upper front of the hat would be a nice touch up here, but overall the character itself is pretty impressive with a nice fresh and sleek look here, I was really impressed with this character.

Thanks for the advise! I'm still learning, so any suggestions are highly appreciated :)

[Some characters]

Cool and Cute

Some nice "LITTLE" characters you have here, cute and simple and I like that they are all somewhat different, I could see you making more nifty charcters and maybe more art style of there world just an idea though, but anyways some nice little characters here.

Intense

Wow this was like a "MOVIE-SCENE" and you really pushed the depth of teh action moment here, the dark resds are nice, this piece here was pretty good as a whole and there for does not need any changes you have done a fantastic job on this one, So I really like the effort you present here in the art portal, and thats the stuff that just keeps me comming back to review even more. You have a Grand entry here with all sorts of detail and effects, you have Dedicated some good energy into this, Alright so what has been done here today is you really showed the passion and detail and energy it takes to put a nice style like this one.

devilhs responds:

oh, thank you.
I think I could have done this one a bit better (and with bigger resolution) but since it was done on stream I had only set amount of hours.

[chainsaw madness]

Nice

So madness is always a good cornerstone of newgrounda and you have created a massive amount of detail and all the characters here with this beautiful piece love all the madness character work and the chainsawa are pretty nifty too I do think some added blood all over would top this off even more but anyways nice work here a brilliant piece of madness so keep up the awesome work

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some added blood

jouste responds:

more guts would be cool for sure. thanks for pointing me back to this older piece!

Nice doodle

Ok so this here is pretty nice and good for a doodle and the space is fully covered so you didnt just draw one thing and move on which is always nice to see in art. I am glad you used one full color for this, except for the text, because it really flows well this way. I know some color variations are always good, but this works but it is ink art and that type can all be consistent. I like the text but the color of the text is light, very light, and I almost can't read the text here, so maybe next time just darken up the color and give it more to read off of. The hints of blacks within the blue was a nice touch and shows a highlight to more important aspects of the art here. Overall very good work.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Darken the color of the text and you have something perfect

Cyberdevil responds:

Good advice, thanks! Glad you liked it too!

Decent

I think this one is much better than the last one you've created. I love the use of the greens and the splatter you've got going on to create an almost texture like feeling in the background of the art. I do think inktober is your thing and you've always got a good set of skills when it comes to creating your own text. I probably have said it before that you should be making your own fonts for submissions and showcasing that skills. The only thing I would think you should change is how close the text is to the art of the light, because the colors are so similar you are losing the text and the image in sort of a mesh way, so maybe next time add a color in there or space out your text more.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Space out text from the art and just keep them from getting too close

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Spaced out text, check. :) Honestly wasn't that happy with how this one turned out, it does feel crammed together... and blended together too. Thanks for the review!

Nice try

I know working with a new tablet can be hard and I see you've got the Wacom Bamboo one going on here, but you do need a bit of practice with it. Your style isn't lost using this, but your text is a bit smooched and it can be hard to read like that, but I attribute that to your new device. I think that your use of textures and flare around the text is always nice. It isn't a big art piece but it does have style and I love the use of colors. The fireworks, well they seem like fireworks, are very nice and have that sparkle flare to them. I think overall you have a good new device but you need practice a bit.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated above, practice with the new tablet. Overall a good piece.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

First try working with a tablet at ALL too. ;) I'm still more used to the mouse for specific shapes/styles. Feels more precision-based, whereas the tablet's better for faster work and sketches. And just regular writing. This one captured the chaos, I hope. :) Thanks.

Great

I think this one is pretty great in terms of your artistic ability and style. The demon like creature is just spot-on good and has eyes that draw you in. The background of small lines going into each other really helps you focus on the creature. It allows you to have full space and matches with the style of the creature. I love the horns and the way you did that a bit differently. The background color of grey is also fitting because it allows for some depth to this piece. I do think this one has potential for an animated short. I hope you'll do something like that. Good work overall, hope to see you start animating things similar to this soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I do like it as is but maybe animate this one next time

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

I'm pretty proud of this one too. :) Thank you!

Best yet

You have done something really good and detailed here. I do like the One Piece tribute you've got going on here. You didn't draw it like the anime either, which is always nice to see other peoples interpretations of things they love. I do love the water splashes on the beach, the air, the way he is excited with his arm extending. I do think this one is a well though out piece. You've made a full scene and you made a smile come to my face seeing the joy he has. You expressed that feeling in a positive and fun way and all using your inktober skills. I loved it overall and there isn't much to change on this one.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I like this one as is and good job

Cyberdevil responds:

Glad you like it, thanks!
