[Alien Hominid 🧨🎈🧶]

This looks happy, silly, and vibrant, I love it! I really like the almost paint like shading style you got all over the picture and the varying stroke size of your lining. The scratches on the guns are also a very neat detail. As for the background, it's super fitting and is well made to really focus on Alien. Awesome work, keep it coming!!

[[Magma Archive] Jirachi!]

Love it! The thick outlines are really cool, and I love how you also kind of used thicker outlines inside around the head to emphasize harsh shading! It makes it look like a comic style almost. Great work, keep it coming!

[Flygoooon]

This is awesome! I love the partial outlining you did that kinda helps emphasize depth a little. The way you did the eyes is also really good, and the overall accuracy to the design is on point. The added noise/texture is also great. Keep up the awesome work :)

[Drawing of Ristar!]

This is really cool! I really don't see Ristar drawn a lot haha but I really like how you drew him here. He looks happy and smooth, and his head shape is very accurate! Great work, keep it up :)

TheRandomStickfigure responds:

Thank you so much!! :D

[Six Goomba's]

Lol this is really cool! Despite pretty much drawing all Goomba's, each frame is so different compared to the previous one! I love how accurate you are to each design and how I can tell you just had so much fun making these. Really cool, keep it up!

[Metallic Crushin']

I never saw Mario Bros Z stuff but this is really cool! I love how it kinda looks like an early 2000's render, like what they did with heroes stills. The rig is really well made and looks very natural, and I love all the poses you put him in. Great work, keep it coming :D

[Still Life 1]

This is so cool! Just like with your other painting I think you managed to capture the drying leaves to look exactly how they would in real life, with the inwards curling as well. The oranges look very real, and the semi-reflective bowl that they are in is so well done. Great job once again!!

[Still Life 3]

Wow, this must have been hard to draw but you did so good! Beta fish fins are so wavy and floppy, it's hard to get them to look right, but you managed to perfectly capture their texture/"structure" if that makes sense. The colors you used and the shading you did was also perfect, especially the more hued lighting on the fins as well. Awesome work, keep it up!!

[The skull]

Ooh, the colors are darker this time. Did you flip the caps upside down? It looks very cool though and I think the color choices are perfect for something more grim like a skull. The shape is very well done too! Awesome as always :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thanks, no, I didn't put darker caps, I worked a bit on the effects after taking the picture just to give the right shade to the skull as you rightly said. Thanks for your comments and support

[MewTwo]

This looks so awesome, I love the emotion and composition of everything here so much! It reminds me of the first Pokemon movie I saw as a kid where he blows up the lab bc he gets pissed lol. The anger in his face is so apparent, and his stance is just perfect and completely in style. The accuracy to his design is crazy. The shading is awesome and I love how it's hued too to match the background. The fire particles were an awesome touch. Amazing work, keep it up!!!
