This looks very ominous and mysterious, I like it! The shading looks very comic styled, but all of this is very detailed. I think the most important part is the eye, which gives off a lot of expression in the piece, despite being so small. I love this, keep it up!

[Cassandra]

This is an amazing illustration of Cassandra, I don't see her being drawn much at all actually! I love the detail on the clothing, it's very deep. The coolest detail to me is what you put on the gun. My favorite part about this art is that the design stays true to the original design of Cassandra without deviating too much, while still looking like a modern redraw. Great job, I love it!

[My little tree]

What a cool and creepy little creature! Really reminds me of some of those oddly shaped bonsai trees. I love how you gave the wood a certain texture that makes it very obvious it's wood, and how you managed to incorporate a small face into it without making it look out of place. I also just like the small touch of the textured beige background, it really fits with the rest of the colors. Great job, hoping to see more!

I literally refreshed the tree that is next to me. And it looks like he has a mouth and an eye ... Unfortunately, I did not match the size of the paper and I did not manage to draw the rest of the leaves :(. And the next drawing is an orchid from my window sill :) thank you for the rating and comment: P

This dragon's colors remind me of blue/white pottery for some reason, in a really cool way. It's very beautiful, and the anatomy is pretty unique for a dragon! I think you did a really good job at keeping it symmetrical as I know that's hard to do when drawing an angled pose like this. Keep up the great work!

Ooh a gif! I think that's a pretty cool animation, for a lot of reasons. First off, it's smooth, so there's no sudden or jarring movements. Secondly, I like how even the "static" frames are kinda wiggly/wobbly to keep the animation dynamic and never still. And finally I just like it because it's funny haha

Keep making more awesome stuff :)

Thank you very much, I needed to read something like this today. n-n)

I've never heard of this creature before now (searched it up apparently it's from MH) but that's a really cool take on it! I love the cartoony and happy feeling you gave this monster that is otherwise supposed to be threatening and menacing. The simple colors also really fit this drawing to give it a nice simple feeling. Keep it up!

Really interesting picture, I like it! My favorite though is the colors you used. The shades of yellow and pink blending into white make a really cool color for the background, especially fading into blueish gray hues in the middle. The shading on the actual character is very rough too in a cool way that fits the picture as a whole. Great job!

Stopsignal responds:

Thank you so much! The roughiness is on purpose, but i'm still practicing it. Looks like i'm getting better at it if you say that though, so thanks!

[Sunrises & Sunsets]

I really like the soft pastel colors on this, and the different strokes/softness of the brushes you used. It really makes the picture feel calming and beautiful :)

Piggybank12 responds:

Thank you, I'm happy you like the result! It was fun to use a mix of different brushes to pull off the look of this one.

What a funny looking monke
For real though, this is very awesome, it looks like a hand drawn painting! Even the little hairs have so much detail, it really feels like this thing is about to come to life. The colors you chose are perfect, and I also really love how you used the brownish red colors for the eyes. Overall this just feels like a nice friendly monkey painting :)

Morrokhai responds:

Thank you very much for such a lovely comment!!

[Tiger / Skin]

Very creative use of color, brush, and texture! I love the popping colors (even got green and purple here and there), the scratchy/canvas texture, and the pastelish look. All of this stuff definitely sets a great atmosphere to the piece! Awesome work ;)

CalKula responds:

Thankyou very much :) I truly appreciate the amount of time and attention you gave to my artwork
