[The Island of the Future]

I'm not sure exactly what this is referencing (if anything) but I think it's really cool! Within such a limited color palette, you still managed to make it look so vibrant and colorful. I love seeing how people can do such cool things with such hard limits. The sky especially looks really well done, and the clouds surrounding the island. Awesome stuff all together, keep it up :D

[Mynt - Mighty Armadillo!]

Another cool picture! I like how you can tell she's sonic inspired, but at the same time she looks completely original with how you stylized her. I really love the colors (but I am definitely biased towards green lol) and the proportions are really cool too. Definitely go make a comic with her, I'm sure it will be fun! Keep it up once again, you've been posting really cool work :)

Thank you for all your messages on my posts! Love all the lovely feedback. Hope you have a wonderful day!

[Mouths are fun animation]

This is pretty cool! Also really creepy lol. The mouth looks like it would be very well placed on some evil monster or something like that. I really like how you drew the teeth, and how you kept them consistent as the jaws moved around. The tongue movement is also very well done and looks fluid compared to all the other parts. Great animation, keep it coming!

Thank you so much!

[Run Mario!! RUN!!]

Oooh I love the shading on this! Everything just looks so soft, and the colors make the image feel so nostalgic and happy... plus the actual theme of the art is also pretty funny so that's bonus! The perspective is also really cool, how it kinda feels like it's fish eye (is that the right word?) due to how the ground behind Mario looks like it's a ball. The cluster of Goombas is also amazingly drawn, and I really like how you did the grass. Super awesome work, keep it up!!!

[Old Sonic Stuff]

These are all pretty awesome! I think my favorite is super Sonic and Metal, Metal with a spoon, and Feels, but all of them are great in general! I like how through all of these you played around with how you did lighting and shading, even stuff like the lining too. It shows that you are able to be very versatile with styles and can adapt to different ways of drawing pretty easily. Great work, keep it up!

[The Public Domain]

Cool stylization of the characters! I like how you made Mickey more wide and stubby but kept his personality, and the way you drew Pooh makes him look very cuddly. I especially like the brighter yellow parts on Pooh, it makes him look like designs I really liked as a kid with bright and friendly colors. Keep up the great work :)

[Toon Link's Merry Squishmas]

The burning is a bit of a fyre reference

[This Too Shall Pass]

This picture looks really peaceful, I like it! It's cool how you emphasized stillness/calmness by literally making the guy turn into a tree. It's cool for potentially implying how calm and sturdy he is, but also just visually really cool that you meshed the two together so well. I especially love the leaves! Great work once again, keep it up :D
