[The Sins of My Father]

I haven't played literally any MGS games but this is awesome lol. I love how you included the progress (the whiteboard sketch especially) because its so cool to see how the final thing came out! I love the red scattered effect, and the shading in general. Great work, keep it up!

[Pengu caught Santa]

So cute! I really like how happy and friendly this picture is :)
The framing is very good, with Santa being much close and almost off camera with the penguin being a clear focus despite being small and towards the corner. The strokes are very nice and soft which kind of makes the whole picture feel cozy, but the warm colors as the image goes from left to right increases that coziness for sure too! I also love both the posing and expressions of the characters, it adds a lot of personality and charm. Really beautiful and great work, keep it up!!

[A little adventurer]

I think the original is also really pretty, and this is very beautiful too! I really love both character designs, they look so cute and friendly. There's also something really cozy about the picture; maybe it's the warm colors you used, maybe it's the soft shading, or the outfits being simple and traditional looking, or maybe all at once haha. The posing is dynamic and already says something interesting about both characters. The environment design is also awesome, it feels like a real fairytale forest that is very explorable. Amazing work, keep it up!!

[Seaside, Friday]

Gorgeous :D
I love the colors you used for the water. I mean that the water isn't just blue necessarily, but slightly greener in some parts, and even grey in others. It adds to the realism but also shows depth reduction as it gets closer to the shoreline. The little boats in the distance are cute and I also really like how you drew the tides (or whatever the white parts of waves are called haha). Beautiful stuff, keep it up!

[Sitting dog II (alternated version)]

[mark of the beast (jare)]

Lol it's fun to make out the shapes in this

[Christmas tree II]

Really nice! Looks like a snowy cozy tree, and the two different types of stars is really cool :D

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[gardevoir]

This looks awesome! I absolutely love the brush texture you used, and also how you did the shading; especially on the green parts where the shading is slightly hued towards blue or yellow. The pose and expression perfectly suit Gardevoir, and you also drew it 1:1 with how it looks like in the games. Awesome stuff, keep it up!!

[Newgrounds Mascot Trio]

Nice! I love how you drew all the characters doing their own thing. The background is also perfectly on theme with the tank men series, and all characters are drawn very on point to their respective series/appearances. Great stuff, keep it coming :D
