[The Vexon and The Lights]

lol nice

The lighting is looking really good. I think you should have made the background darker that way the lights would seem brighter. It seems unrealistic how the vexon is darker then the sky, perhaps if the sky was bluer? Your style is still looking awesome, you should be really great once you perfect lighting and make your drawing more detailed :)

Luxembourg responds:

Vexons are black in color. Unless I make the sky pitch black (which would rend the Vexon invisible), it would be darker. I suppose I should have chose a slightly brighter sky, with more purple or blue.
Thanks, Cloudy. Glad you like it!

[Loco Premeditado]

Really great!

I think the colours you've used are really good, the way you colour not perfectly in the lines but behind it is also works really well. Your style looks really awesome in this piece. I don't see why you didn't submit this earlier.

iter-intergalactic responds:

Thank you very much !

I really didnt like the drawing, so i didnt submit this.
But now, when i found it i thought it was interesting !

[Insurance Scam]

lol Ashman's CHOW

This is quite different to your other art and shows your diversity. I find it a bit strange that he's wearing a baseball cap with his trenchcoak and shirt... it doesn't look like you've drawn the wooden building in the background yourself, if you didn't draw it then I am dissapoint. The fire looks pretty realistic and the expression on his face and just the whole image really tells you what is going on. Good job sock!

Sockembop responds:

Yeah, the idea with the cap is that he doesn't normally wear a hat at all, it's sort of a temporary half assed disguise to shadow his face in shadow in case anyone sees him. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't draw the background. I took a photo of wood boards, desaturated it, overlayed it above a brown background and blurred it a bit. Then I airbrushed some black on it so it looked shitty and burned and I painted the fire on top of that. Thanks for commenting though Cloudy :D

[Mio Pose]

Pretty good

It's drawn fairly well. I don't really see how you've exhadgerated the pose much, it just seems like a normal pose. I think you should have made her body curve more, particularily her legs and waist because the way she is leaning at the moment looks quite unnatural and a bit odd. The rest is drawn well. Perhaps draw her neck a big wider and add a background.

The-Mad-Fiddler responds:

I guess it depends on my definition of exaggerated... Dictionary dot com says "to magnify beyond the limits of truth; overstate; represent disproportionately: to exaggerate the difficulties of a situation." which is what I suppose what I was going for, although I could probably go further. The idea was that it'd be a little painful to stand like this.

Good suggestion on the curve! I'll have to try it out. Wider Neck sounds good after checking a couple of sources, it does need a bit of a change. And a background wouldn't be bad, but I wouldn't consider this a full blown drawing.

Thanks for the feedback :), greatly appreciated.

[otherside]

Brilliant

Your style is really awesome and different. It's awesome that you do these traditionally. The smoke I think needs more detail to it as right now it's too bland and takes up too much space. Keep up the good work matt ;)

UnderARock responds:

thanks dude, the smoke is pretty boring, I wish I did more with it

[Raw, Chaotic, Beautiful.]

Really great!

This is really well done. The way the waves splash onto the rocks and cliff face is done really well. I think that the cliff face looks a bit blury and not as clear and crisp as everything else. I think it might look a bit more realistic if the rocks and sea were a bit less saturated. Really great work though, did you use a reference?

Kuoke responds:

I never use references. I was trying to make a focus like cameras, but oh well. Otherwise, cheers bro.

[Mr. Charming]

Nice work.

Quite nicely done. The brightness of it makes it seem like it's some sort of flash back scene. The light band across his hair looks a bit out of place. It's scares me how he has no eyes. The colouring and that looks good. Wtf is that white thing in the foreground.

ZachsAnomaly responds:

Napkin. LOL. This was a silly "what if" scenario of the grungy main character from my upcoming flash flipbook series. It was a quick doodle painting. Thank you, I really wanted it to look foggy like this and I'm glad it came out the way it did.

[MAGIC UMBRELLA]

Awesome

Really cool style. A bit more shading on the character would have been nice. I also think you should have done more defined outlines on the clouds and moon like on the character and umbrella. The picture looks really good though, kind of looks like it's taken from a tv show. It's a bit confusing how below him there's like stars and it's darker. Makes my think for a bit that perhaps he's upside down.

MrCreeep responds:

i didnt refine it more cause i only had an hour to draw and color it. those aren't stars below him, its city lights. thanks for the comment

[penguining (view full size)]

hhaha Nice

Your really quite good at animating. I think with this although his mouth is animated really well you need to animate the whole character... eg. his eyes should get bigger and then shrink again and his body should move a bit to emphasise the action. I also think you should add a bit more to it like simple colours if your going to submit this stuff to the art portal, otherwise use the flash portal and aniamtion forum.

Fawx responds:

i dont really care about the art portal. im just doodling.

[It came from an egg]

This is brilliant!

Such an evil and well drawn creature. The background looks a bit weird with the dots and stuff and I think you could have come up with a better background. It's face looks really 3 dimensional and I can almost feel the softness of it's fur/feathers. GOOD WORK NAE! :D

ReNaeNae responds:

Thanks Cloudy. I was trying to match the background of the original egg image... I kinda failed, huh?! lol
