[Cthula]

Really cool character! I like the whole idea of giving her cephalopod like hair, that can be controlled and can hold objects. Posture and clothing choice is also great, it feels very fitting and neatly done! The palette you drew for the character is also just overall very nice, feels pastely yet a bit more desaturated at the same time in a interesting way. Keep up the great work!

[Tankman ~ "Hey, Captain"]

Gotta love tankmen art! I love the expression you gave these guys, but especially the dynamic poses. They look very styled up and unique which is very cool in its own way. The simple backgrounds also really fit these little panels. Keep up the great work!

[Sniff Pizza]

I love this really sketchy look, it fits a jokey picture like this! The expression is very cartoony and cute, and the colors are very fun looking and happy. Also love how you drew the mane (?) of the creature, it looks very flowy and natural. Great job, keep it up!

thank you very much!!

[Tiny MalariaKills]

Ooh this looks great! I love the very cartoony look, feels like very classic flash style. One of my favorite little things I noticed is that you used slightly hued grays, it gives this character a vivid and lively look. Also can't help but notice the little boxing gloves on all the hands, it's very cute haha. Keep it up!

Omugiku responds:

Thank you!

[Skeleman: Revengance]

I love this design, it's very cute! The expressions look great, and they're pretty well drawn from the different angles. I also just love the mashup in general, the skull head with the buff body, and metal legs. Keep up the great work, this is really cool!

WizardoFrank responds:

Thanks! I think I'll simplify the legs a bit, but other than that I'm sticking to this one.

[Void Slayers]

Very detailed and beautifully drawn picture you got here! The characters are very well drawn both anatomically and just beauty wise, and their color schemes are very fitting to the grim mood of the picture. The weaponry is very detailed and well designed too, and even the armor, which I know can be very hard to do! The background is very beautiful as well; I like how the grass in front is almost pointalized, but becomes softer as it fades into the distance. The scary figures in the back are perfectly blurred to create a sense of depth. Keep up the nice work, this is very beautiful :)

Thank you very much! I usually have trouble drawing armour and weapons, but I appreciate the critic :)

[Blacksmith Fan Art]

I love the style of this art! It looks as if it was done with watercolor paint, and the shading/lighting on this is beautiful. The frogglet is so nicely done too, I honestly love everything about this. I even love how you made some of the purple reflect on frogglets skin! Keep up the great work, this is awesome :)

HogoBrogh responds:

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. Hearing that really makes me wanna make more of these so thank you.

[Madness]

Wow! This art is so stylized, and I love your mix of 2D and 3D work! Although you used existing models, the fact you posed them a certain way, created a certain lighting, and drew over that makes it look very cool. This piece overall gives off a very menacing feeling, just like Madness was meant to be. Keep up the awesome work!

[Banjo-Kazooie Cover]

What a nice faithful recreation of the cover art! I love the style you used for your drawing, and how it looks cartoony and sketchy at the same time. The grass and fur have a lot of detial, which I know can be very hard to do. Gruntilda's warts are really well placed/drawn as well. The poses are very accurate, and if anything a little bit more expressive than the original I'd say! My favorite little thing is the shine you gave the jiggy, it really looks golden compared to the rest of the objects in the picture. Awesome work, hope to see more from you!
