[Kirbo in Space]

Oh wow the background work on this is amazing! I love all the bright colors fading out into the darker colors of space, with the little swirls and speckles. Planet popstar looks very fitting as well, but man my favorite part has to be the eyes. The reflection in what is otherwise simple coinslot eyes is crazy, so much detail and color, it's really beautiful. You even lit the bottom of Kirby from the warp star. Really great work once again, keep it up :D

[Meet Fatuo]

Oooh what is this little thing, it's so cute! I love this alien thingy, the colors and opacity of it's head/bubble thing, and the cute little backdrop you gave it. Just looking at this feels very peaceful yet so interesting, would be really cool to know more details behind this creature in the future. Love it lots, keep it up :)

Thank you ^^

[Madness Combat Fanart]

Love this! The positioning of Hank and Sanford make this much more impactful, especially the angle. The colors are perfect for the Madness palette, and the outlining gives the piece an overall cool feeling. I really like this, I hope you keep it up :D

thanks! glad you like it.

[Tankman be like]

Oh wow sick sketch! I love how you did some shading and smudging, and the outlining/general shape of the tankman is very accurate and awesome. Even a bit of your own style came shining through. I love the water droplets as a little touch, it really makes it even cooler! Keep up the awesome work, your sketches are amazing :)

[The Rake Head Designs]

Ooh... spooky!
To be honest I like all of them, they're all very well defined. I love the detail in all of them, but if I had to go with the *scariest*, I'd probably go with the last one (the right most). The spine is very creepy, and the teeth are pretty threatening. The other options are great though too. Keep up the cool/spooky work!

MercKaiju responds:

Thank you! I think I like that one the most too. I'll probably build upon it for the final design.

[Chillin in Subcon]

I love this SMB2 drawing down to every last detail :)

The palette you used is perfect for the original NES game, down to the dark blue for shading Mario's clothes. The little turnip being visible underground is also pretty cool, and I really love how you drew the vase behind him. My favorite part has to be that you drew this like a little island, kind of like an isolated world. Keep up the great work!

greatmystic responds:

YOOO THANK YOU! I'd like to do more little diorama styled art in the future, I think that'd be a lot of fun! I actually just pulled the pallet straight out of the NES game just because I thought it might look a little more unique with the authentic colors lol, glad you thought so

[tiny pico]

Cute! I like how you made it look somewhat unique while also having the same feeling as the original Pico design. The eye change is interesting, as you can now tell which direction he is looking without turning his head. I also like how you made his hairline a bit more defined, and gave him a nice little collar. Keep it up!

gabyyyyy responds:

thanks dude! appreciate it lots

[SPHLOX 3000]

This looks amazing! For some reason it really gives me an 80's/retro feeling (especially due to the shading and coloring), which makes it even cooler to me. The detail in this is amazing, and I love every little bit of how this is shaded. The background gives it an amazing cyber-y retro feel as well, and just adds to the overall atmosphere. This is very awesome, keep it up :)

rafael-bicalho responds:

thanks a lot for this feedback, I really appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart!

[Bird dude]

This is a really awesome drawing, I love it! I can't decide what my favorite part about it is, but I have to choose between either the very well done feathers (looks very fluffy), or the colored shading. Both are great, but the rest of the picture is very well done as well, especially the crazy amount of detail you put in for something semi-realistic. Great work, keep it up :)

[1st landscape]

That looks very nice, especially for your first landscape! I like how you use darker colors for the distance, and shade certain parts so you can tell how far away certain things are. If I had a suggestion, it'd be to give the two hills on the left and right (the green ones) a slightly darker shade of gray to make it look like they're further from the camera. Otherwise this is really neat, keep it up!

Thank you so much! It's just a fast pixel art but thanks.
