[- Cyber Pisces vs Demon Taurus]

This is just BAD ASS! You should totally make a whole set of these. I wouldn't mind at all seeing a lion duking it out with a giant scorpion, or an archer centaur putting holes in a large horned ram. Totally kickass.

One thing about this piece though: the gatling gut on the shark, while pretty awesome as it is, looks a little bit crooked and bent. It looks as if you might have drawn it without any photo reference, and it just looks a little bit rough and squiggly compared to the rest of the piece. I'd go over it again to make sure it makes sense with how it connects to that box thing.

Overall, and EXCELLENT piece of work! I love it. I don't know which of them looks fiercest, the bull or the shark, but I wouldn't wanna put money on who's gonna win.

[Hipstertheque]

I know it's stylized and exaggerated, but that guys physique just puts me off. He looks like an anorexic pile of bones. Maybe it's that his head has some pretty realistic proportions while the rest of him is exaggerated? Anyway, minor gripe.

I like it, it looks very clean and deliberate, while at the same time managing to convey a sense of bleak grittiness. I don't know if I'd prefer it if it was in color, or if it's actually better as a black and white piece.

Anyway, this is some great stuff! Keep it up!

Hoboweasel responds:

Yeah, the figure was intended to look anorexic; I was trying to portray a stereotypical hipster. I might have done better by making his legs a bit thicker, though (he does look moribund).

[Maelstrom]

You like fishsticks? You like fishsticks in your mouth? What are you, some kind of gay fish?! :D

Sorry...

Anyway, I love this piece. Very psychadelic and cool. I like how it kind of forms a yin-yang of positive and negative space. It's got a great sense of motion and energy. Very nice.

Zeppelyn responds:

Thank you. :)

Hmm. I don't know what to make of this one. It's very detailed, but there's no real focus anywhere. Every single line is the same thickness, and there is little variation in the blue shading as well, so looking at it from far away (or in preview size) everything just seems to blend together into an unfocused and blurry mess, and it just looks very flat.

I'd try to add more variation to the lines, thicker lines in dark areas and thinner ones in highlighted areas, to add a sense of depth to the piece.

yea i know, using a new soft ware and trying to get the hang of it

[New Parents`]

Amazing. Simply, truly, amazing piece of work. This has front page written all over it. I can't tell which one is the mommy and which one is the daddy though...

One fairly minor detail I noticed: the whole piece is without lines, just differences of shades and values, except for the alien hand the little girl is holding, which looks sketchier than the rest of the piece. Like I said, it's very minor, but I couldn't help but notice it sticking out from the rest of the piece.

TyraWM responds:

Thanks dude :) and their suppose to be sexless. I didn't want one to play a 'mommy' role and one to play a 'daddy' role their just her parents.
And yeah I submitted this at like 5 in the morning so I gotta fix a few things thanks for the heads up :)

[Adieu]

This one is a mixed bag. I think the girl in the middle is very well drawn, especially the details around her hair and the flowery crown. On the other hand, the background is very noisy and detracts a lot of attention from the focus of the piece (the girl). I think you might need to remember the old addage: less is more.

Also, the pearl necklace and the lines along her shoulder seem very rough compared to the fine details of her hair. It sticks out and makes the work seem unfinished (which might be the case).

Overall, it has potential to be a really cool piece if you removed some of the clutter in the background and polished some of the details of the girl a little bit more (and judging from the beautiful details in this piece so far, that shouldn't be a problem for you.)

Keep up the good work!

Knocturne responds:

Yup, this was not a finished piece and actually the drawing included her body and everything but I cropped it out. Personally, I like the conflict between the busy background and the simple girl. It's the specks of stars versus the lines that form her and I thought it worked but maybe not, also I spent more time on the background than the girl which is probably why I'm against simplifying it if I ever do go back to this.

Thanks a lot, your review was refreshin!

[phantom of the opera]

Cool, but unpolished.

I love the exaggerated proportions and the character design, but I can't help but feel that it looks somewhat sketchy and unpolished. I would have gone over the details more closely and cleaned up some of the rough parts in this piece. Nevertheless, it's still a very good piece. I give it a 4/5.

uncleporkchop responds:

Well that was the whole idea my man . I wanted it rough. LOL. But thanks anyway for the comment and what you would have done. LOl.

[Free Ride]

Very Alice in Wonderland.

This reminds me of that cage-bird creature from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, except more creepy and less cartoony. Very cool.

[G33X Comic 003]

You monster!

They eat... health potions... yeah. Yeah! Health potions. And candy! Candy makes them stronger.

[Away]

Amazing piece.

Man, hardly any views for this I see, yet it's so awesome. People don't know what they're missing.

I'm impressed at how you were able to make such a beautiful scene using such a small canvas. I gave you a 5 for this, because I don't know how you could improve on this picture in any significant way.

Great work!

fawfulBeans responds:

Thanks,man!
