["Nah it's cool, my dog don't bite."]

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!!

[Hook Horror]

This is so interesting, as it looks like an actual creature because of the anatomy you gave it! I love the shading around the creature, but the creature itself is amazing nonetheless, as the shading is so precise you can see every rib and depression in the body. It's even more amazing how you put detail into every little hair! Great job :)

Thanks.

[EVERY VILLAIN IS LEMONS]

Very good work on making him look scary because this is really threatening! The use of red and yellow here and there on the teeth really emphasized this blood thirsty feeling, and the splatters on the head make it even better. The pink eyes drive the goal all the way because man they are unsettling

BOZUBRAIN responds:

thanks a lot! Tried my best to make him unnerving to look at XD

[Old Art City Horizon]

Nice and simple pixel art! I really like how you spaced out the colors of the sky, and the shading you gave to all the buildings. Great work :)

[Nothing can stop Sonic the Hedgehog]

You can never go to fast

This is really funny, and I love the detailed work in each one of the panels! Keep making more comicy stuff :)

[Ball old pencil sketch]

The shading on this ball is very smooth for a pencil drawing, and very realistic. It's even more amazing how accurate you managed to draw a circle, since I know how hard that can be. I think you did a great job on this!

ArtTriad responds:

Thank you. That's very kind of you

[Fire Imp]

This drawing looks as if it was drawn with a pastel, really cool! I love all the different shades from red to yellow, and the contrast you used for the outline of the imp. The imp is very cute itself, and looks very friendly haha

Keep up the great work :)

Drummarts responds:

Thank you! I actually used the Dry Gouache Brush in Clip Studio Paint but I was going for that pastel look. The actual pastel tool just didn't look quite as right
