[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!

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 :)

[HAPPY HALLOWEN]

Oooh, spooky. I love it! The facial expression is pretty cool and weird, which really fits the theme you're going for. The weird tongue I feel is especially the spookiest part, but the rolled up eyes and the weird face pins make it even better. Kind of looks like if Frankenstein was in his 20s and a DJ or something lol. The palette and lighting decisions are amazing, especially the cool hues on the face with the warm colors in the back. Great work, keep it coming!!

[Mixed Results]

I really dig old rendering style looking stuff, and this really reminds me of that! Besides the actual aesthetic being done really nicely, the actual composition is weird and cool too. Like why is there a random tree in the middle of a lake surrounded by mountains, what's the pillar in the bg, and what's with the portal over the lake? It all makes it so much more interesting without feeling out of place at the same time. I love it a bunch! My favorite thing might be the portal ring itself and the world inside it. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

[KIRBY CHARACTHERS]

These are amazing, I love them all! Your style is very cute and charming, and the palettes you chose are very nice and fitting too. I also love the lighting/shading work you did, it looks perfect. My favorite is Dedede because of how outlandish he looks here lol. Keep up the great work!!

[ship]

Feels lonely, but I think that's a good thing with this kind of picture. It just inflicts curiosity of what's on that ship and what is it doing, what's the planet down below, etc.. The design of the ship is also cool, and same with the little extension in the front with the three smaller extensions. The background is simple and very fitting. Keep up the great work :D
