the boy on the left looks so cute omg <3

[Resort]

This is so pretty! Kind of has this weird nostalgic feeling to it but I can't explain why, maybe it's the colors you used, but either way it's a very nice feeling and I really like it. The palette is beautiful, it all fits together and just feels fuzzy. The barely visible tiles through the water is such a cool touch, and the lighting on the water is also amazing! It's such a simple scene but it makes me feel so happy :)

Keep up the great work!!!

Chickhand responds:

Omg thank you!! I wish the perspective of everything on top is better but i really like the water as well... thanks!

[Run]

Lol I don't think I've ever seen a take on the classic Sonic 2 chase scene like this but this is amazing. First off just simpler stuff, the quality of the picture is really nice. The shading and lighting is amazing, especially the bluer hue you gave to the light coming out the windows while parts of the scene have red lighting. The designs are also really good, both for sonic (you did the shoe blur very good too btw, I don't think I've ever seen anyone draw it like that before) and for Eggman who looks like a chubbier Sonic Boom version. But man the posing, the expressions, and just general composition give the original Sonic 2 scene a whole different light and just feels so much funnier, I love it! Keep up the amazing work!!

[Behemoth attacks New Delhi]

This is a really awesome and powerful picture. From the title, I assumed it would be some kind of natural looking land beast, but what you came up with is a design for a Behemoth I've never seen before; it's so cool! I absolutely love how the rocks kind of look like a rib cage, and the head roughly reminds me of a cacodemon lol. Giving the surrounding environment (including the POV) a cyberpunky feel was also such a cool idea. Yet again you drew something really awesome, keep up the amazing work!

Thanks So Very Much!)
I will)

[Tavern with the gang]

I love the composition! The tavern looks cozy and all the characters are clearly so expressive too; especially the guy with the eyes popping out lol. You definitely hit the medieval feel with not only the tavern and character designs but all the wooden mugs on the table, the quiver on the floor, the gold coins, etc.. I also really like the shading and warmer colors you used in general. Keep up the great work!

Thank you!!!!

[pumpkin pies]

For some reason I don't like eating pumpkin pie, but the way you drew it is so yummy looking I think I want to try again lol. The palette is so warm and cozy, and really fits fall. I also really love the way you did the shading, and the fact that all of these items are made with the pixel art style is awesome. Especially the pumpkin too, it has so much detail! Great work, keep it up :D

clarigaricus responds:

Thanks a lot for your extremely kind words! I do not like pumpkin things in general, but working on this made me want to try!

[Sonic Sprite Art]

Really nice! It looks a bit like the Sonic Mania style to me, maybe because of how you did shading and lighting. The pose is great and fits classic sonic perfectly, and I love how accurate to the design you are as well. The background is also very fitting and feels very sonic 2-y lol. Really awesome stuff, keep it up!

[(Old Drawing) Super Mario World]

Such a vibrant and colorful picture! I think I know what original art this is referencing, but I really love how you drew it. It looks very on point and accurate both in terms of design and color. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

Jalestar responds:

Thank you so much! I was referencing this picture. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nintendo/images/1/1f/Super_Mario_World_%28JP%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080925155449&path-prefix=en

[pokemonth day 25: croagunk]

Croagunk is one of my favorite pokemon so seeing him drawn in such a cool way is awesome :O

I really love what you did with the shading here. I don't think I've seen much of it before, but it's very interesting how you segmented it. Croagunk also looks awesome the way you drew him, and the environment you put him in feels like it fits perfectly. Awesome stuff, keep it coming!

[agents but halloween]

Lol I really like how you drew the agents all dressed up! Not just that, but you also made the costumes kind of fit perfectly around their body proportions (like the insanely buff Mario and Luigi ones at the back). The funniest one is the dino I think but I really love all of them. The expressions are very good too, especially the one agent scared from the alien costume. Awesome work and really cool idea, keep it coming!!
