[Icthyosaurus Forever!]

What an awesome way to draw a dinosaur, I love this! The style looks like a cartoony ancient wall mural type, especially with the patterns and symmetry you used. I love how you stuck to a general ocean theme, but man the main subject of the painting just looks perfect. Happy little dinosaur :D
Great work, keep it up!

[The View]

Beautiful composition! It really reminds me of Norwegian Fjords, especially with the way the water goes through the middle of the cliffs/mountains in the distance. I like the colors you used a lot, but I especially like how you used them to illustrate depth, with the further objects gaining kind of like a light blue fog, similar to how it works in real life. Amazing stuff, keep it up!

[Charizard TCG 2024]

Wow, this looks like official art! I remember collecting the cards soley for the art (I still don't even know how to properly play the game lol), and it looks like this would fit perfectly on a card! The lineart is great and clean, the pose is very fitting for Charizard, and I love the smudged shading. The fire also looks so cool and stylish... I wish you luck on the contest, and keep up the great work!

[[Bingo Highway breakdown starts playing]]

I see a reference to best sonic game so I instantly open

I dunno why he is thinking about C,D,E,F (I'm assuming it's music notes lol) but I love how you drew heroes Sonic! The saturation is I think one of the key things that is unique to him, his blue looks different than other sonics to me for some reason, and I think you captured it very well. And also of course the lining and actual accuracy to Sonic in this is great too! Great work, keep it up :D

[Deadlock doodles]

I dunno what Deadlock is, but the frog you drew is hilarious lol. All these pictures are great/funny but the frog just takes the cake, he is perfect

Nafn responds:

Big thank. Deadlock is a new moba game that valve are currently making. I fucking hate dota2 and league but somehow this game is alright.

[Clouds study 1]

This is beautiful, it almost looks like a real photo! I love the blotchiness of the clouds and the different lighting on them, as well as the harsh darkness of the foreground. It makes for a very cool, unique, and stylish feel. Great work, keep it up :D

[blue skies]

Wow, so beautiful!! All these amazing shades of blue make me feel so calm. I absolutely love the composure of the picture with the castle looming in the back over beautiful mountains and a forest range. Just everything about this feels serene and magical. Amazing work, keep it up!!!

[Vessel and The Hollow Knight]

I never played Hollow Knight but I've seen it before, and you could've fooled me with saying this really was official art haha. It looks really good! The shadow effect seems similar to what I've seen of the games official art for sure, and the characters are very accurate to how they are drawn. Great positioning of everything and poses too! Keep up the great work :)
