[Gobtober2023 Day 2: Rogue]

I like the character's pose and the way you colored the illustration. The 3/4 turn really gives the character a sense of depth because we get to see how their body interacts in 3D space. I struggle with this myself so seeing you do it so well is very cool! The way you color the character is also interesting. Instead of just adding shadows, you choose to add a bit of blush giving the piece an overall classic fantasy look. Keep up the good work dude!

Porofore responds:

Thank you very much. ^^
I actually try to get away a bit from the 3/4 pos because i heavily overuse it.
The pieces of colors around the piece is to make it look interesting.
A flat green surface would have done the trick, but pieces of highlighted red is making it looks less dull.

[Eldritch Idol poster]

I love the pose and the coloring you did for this illustration. I especially like the vivid and nostalgic colors of the dress with the twist of black combined with the lime green hair. Also, the motifs really bring an uplifting mood to her whole outfit with the anchor and eight-pointed star with the heart and rounded five-pointed stars. The other characters are also well done, especially the cute hair and eye colors. Keep up the good work dude!

Konayachi responds:

oooh thank you very much for your kind comment!
she has very cute design indeed! it was very fun to draw her~ ^o^

[Bunch a' Nutjobs Road Trip]

I love the colors, variety of poses, and emotion in each character's face. The colors really give me that fun postcard feel with a twist of 00s Cartoon Network and Scott Pilgrim. The variety of poses really brings out who the characters are, which is a challenge with that many characters. Lastly, the emotions you are able to portray with each character are fun, exciting, and unique showing how the characters feel distinctly. Great job! Keep up the good work dude!

LB0W responds:

I think this is literally the most succinct compliment I've ever gotten on my art lol, I mean wow! Thanks heaps dude!

[Bees in Autumn be like:]

I love the emotion you put into Charmy! Nice shadows and coloring really support the lighting and sinisterness of the character contrasting with the sunny fall day. Looks like it could be in an episode of Sonic X. Keep up the good work dude!

NeoCOMET responds:

Thanks!

[Arttrober Day 5 - Link (TOTK)]

I like the way you colored Link and your linework. The colors are very classic while still being distinct, clear, and with the noise effect, like a classic Nintendo Power portrait. I like the way you varied the colors of the lines instead of just black lines. Great job! Keep up the good work dude!

Tharkka responds:

wow thanks a ton! glad you liked him!

[Giant Toon Link Stomp]

Very cute toon Link! I love the pose and the effects you have with the overlay on the character and the detail you put in the ground shatter effect on the planet. Your linework on Link is super good as well as the coloring for Link and the planet! Keep up the good work dude!

FelixBlobDev responds:

Thank you! I'm very happy with how it turned out, so I'm glad you like it!

[Super Sonic 2]

I love the way you handled the lighting and effects in this piece. That with such a striking pose as the foundation is fantastic! In addition, the background is minimal yet complex enough to add depth and interest without distracting the focus of Sonic. Great job on the illustration. Keep up the good work dude!

Tater-T responds:

omg thanks lol

[Hsien-Ko and Felicia Metal Slug!]

I love the posing and the mix of Darkstalkers and Metal Slug! The characters are so cute and your coloring work is fantastic with strong shapes and excellent color selection. Keep up the good work dude!

TwoSipsofBleach responds:

thank you! you flatter me, i will keep trying my best

[OC-plaza stuff 10: Thats a lot of drawings]

I love the way you are able to get the essence of each of the characters with such a limited palette and strong shapes. Very cool that you are able to portray each of the characters to be easily recognized as the reference characters and yet infuse with your style. Congrats on over 100! Keep up the good work dude!

Nebulate responds:

Thanks. I have gotten a good grasp of the basics of my artstyle. I am trying to develop a malleabe art style that makes characters fit it smothly. All i honestly need is time and effort to compleatly master my artstyle.
