[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!

Jectoons responds:

Thank you! I appreciate your comments, and I am glad you liked it. :)

[Isometric Sonic]

This is very cool, I don't usually see people drawing 3D scenery from an isometric point of view. I really think you nailed it though! I love the way you drew Sonic's spikes in the more classic style, and the different ring rotations look very well done as well. The shading on the metallic spring is great, as you can tell the roughness apart from the other objects like the box, the ground, etc. and the water is very beautifully done too. Keep it up!

[Sonicccc]

What a nice little picture of sonic, I love the expression you gave him! Your art piece looks very stylized and I really like the colors you used to give it a very nice calm and maybe even slightly nostalgic feeling. Keep it up!

[Get Ready]

Interesting use of only three colors for a whole piece. I love how you used each color to draw a picture with quite a considerable amount of detail! The perspective work on this is also very nice, with the main focus being the person in the middle. Keep going at it!

GreenyGray responds:

Thanks man!! I really appreciate the feedback!

[Blue Eye]

The reflection on the iris is insane! I really think it's amazing how you captured a light source and drew shadows on it at the same time, that's awesome. The eyelashes and eyebrow are very well drawn too. Can't wait to see more :D

ArtTriad responds:

Thank you very much again. Im truly glad

[Oc Villian?]

Something about ink drawings is always really cool to me. But I seriously think that this is a really detailed and amazing sketch of a guy you got here! Really love how realistic the neck and head shapes are, with the stylistic eyes/facial features. Hair is also very well drawn too. Keep it up :)

[Vs. Marx]

Holy, the colors, textures, and almost everything about this piece is perfect! I love the shading and coloring you did for this piece, as it feels like a painting that's smooth if that makes sense. The positioning of Kirby against Marx makes the focus very clear, and Marx appears extremely menacing. The sky is beautifully illustrated, with the classic Kirby star look as well. And all the colorful crystals on Marx's wings are very well shaded. I really love this work, I can't wait to see more from you!

[Ganondorf]

This looks very powerful, but also amazing for pixelart! I love how Ganon in the back is more shadowed, and it is very obvious compared to the foreground where you drew a very menacing Ganondorf. The detail on this is astonishing, and very accurate to original design. I overall really enjoyed this, keep it up!

Xlyphon responds:

I'm very glad you liked it! I really appreciate this kind of feedback. I wanted to reach this felling of beast ganon when you fight him in the original N64 version, this shadowed being, with the only thing that you can see clearly being his glowing eyes.

[Ocean]

I absolutely love the colors in this piece! The blues have very nice hues going from darker to light, with some tones of green. The rocks also have amazingly illustrated waves crashing against them, and it just creates this very relaxing, oceanic atmosphere. This is truly a very beautiful painting, I hope to see more from you!
