[Mörktober 26-31]

All of these designs are so amazing and well drawn! I love the texture you added to all of them and how you did the lining; the shading is also very cool and stylized. The brown monster with the teeth belly reminds me of something straight out of Majora's Mask for some reason lol. In general all of these feel like they came straight out of an old fairytale/folklore book. Keep up the great work!

Thanks! In october I was drawing a lot of stuff daily which funnily enough made stuff flow way easier than other times when I was just drawing sporadically or just one thing a day! (though the markers ended up drying quite qicker than I anticipated)

[Knuckles the Echidna]

Looks great! Feels like you really got that sonic advanced illustration coloring style down, and the pose is full of personality and dynamic. Linework is clean, and the background is simple but goes really well with the rest of the image. Great work, keep it up!

[Primino portrait canvas]

This is very interesting, I like how you made the shading softer this time and also added a lot of texture (the dog's fur mostly) to the painting. It looks really nice. Great stuff as always!

Thank you!

[Majora's Mask]

I love so many things about this! The posing is great, dynamic, and full of personality. The colored linework also fits with the weird trippy aesthetic of MM. And the shading is straight out of a comic book illustration. The black fills for some of the parts also feels great, especially considering how dark this character is. You did an amazing job, keep it up!!

Maecaart responds:

Thank you so much for all the kind words! I'm hoping to channel this piece in all my future works!

[Affirmation]

I instantly clicked when I saw the thumbnail because it looked like those older style pictures I'd see on the net when I was younger. I am really happy I did because this picture fills me up with a ton of nostalgia, and just looks super close to the style you were trying to emulate! Everything from the gradient fills to the simple backgrounds. The windows were such a good style choice too! When I scrolled down to write this comment I saw what song you linked and I used to listen to it around the same time this aesthetic was still around lol, so it feels like a perfect coincidence. Amazing work, keep it up!!!

RepriseAgain responds:

Thanks, it's good to know I captured the 2000s nostalgia.

[Zad portrait]

It's a very nice portrait, I really like how you shaded it and how you used a light outline for the facial features. Great work :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[musics got me feelin so free]

All of these are pretty awesome, I like them all but I think the monkey one is my favorite :D

[A gift for the wolf]

Nice! I really like all the vibrant colors and how you drew the snow falling from the sky. It kind of feels cozy even though winter is cold haha. Awesome as always, keep it up :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[Sitting dog III (alternated version)]

I really like how you arrange the bricks on these, it looks very blocky and "perfect" if that makes sense. Nice to see stuff posted from you lately!

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you! These are the latest publications of alternative works awaiting the official cover for the new year.
