[Speedy Hedgehog]

This looks awesome! I love a lot of things about this picture. One of them is the dotted shading/filling kind of like in comic books. The segmented shading itself is also really cool, and the pose is very relevant to Sonic's personality and attitude. The background is also fitting as it's an opposite color to blue, so provides even better contrast. Amazing work, keep it up!

Thank you!!

[Chao]

Very cute! I like the vibrant color palette in this, it really fits with the happy nature of the chaos and stuff. The way you colored it in with marker (I think) is really cool because it's uniform and kind of looks like a trippy pattern on the chao. Also the expression is really happy which is also fitting! Great work, keep it up :D

[Borzoi Sketch]

That's an awesome drawing of a Borzoi :D
I don't see these dogs irl as much but from the few I have seen, this is very accurate. I also love the expression you gave it, especially the eyes as they look really sweet. The fur is really nicely drawn too and shaded very pretty, I like the purple hues in the darker areas. Awesome work, keep it coming!

Thank you!

[Pyro OC commission]

I know barely anything from tf2 but I do know that this picture is awesome! I love how you shaded it first and foremost, it's not always easy to do stuff like lighting with fire and you nailed it. The flames on the top of the helmet are also very well drawn, and the perspective is awesome. I love how there is blur on the front as if it's too close to the eye/camera, and the pose itself is very actiony and cool. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[Happy Halloween!!]

What a friendly looking uh thing lol
I love it though! The style is neat, I love the double outline with the black and then the lighter violet. The design is also terrifying, where the frills are just meat flaps layered with teeth, yet somehow a little cute because of the pumpkin basket haha. Shading is also very fitting with the style! Great work, keep it up :)

Thank you so much for the compliments and nice words!

[chibiusa]

Cute! I like how you painted this, the strokes look soft and blend into each other not too much but also just enough for a stylistic touch. The palette is also nice and light, and the reference to the anime style is pretty on point. Frame is cute too, feels nostalgic for some reason haha. Great work, keep it up!

there are not enough frogs wtc

[happy halloween :)]

Love the palette on this! I always see chandelure drawn more purple, so the green is a nice change of pace and makes it somehow a little bit more spooky/uncanny lol. The bright magenta bg with green strokes is very vibrant and pops out. I also love how you drew the fire on this, it's a really cool style. Keep up the great work!

naraicat responds:

it's the shiny palette! one of the coolest shiny pokémon in my opinion :)

thanks so much for the kind words!

[Mad as a Fox]

Cool drawing! I like how you used different color outlines and black fill, making the lines thicker where you want to emphasize more color. Nice stuff and keep it up!

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Thank you! : D

I love doing impressionism so much, is amazing what one can get away with using only lines~

[Kirby as the Mummy]

Very cute! I like that you gave him a "tired eye" thing going on, it really fits. And the fact that you didn't use the same color of bandage for all of them is also pretty good. Shading is also simple and nice! Great stuff, keep it up :)
