[Mountain Moss Rock Trio]

Another awesome picture, love it! For some reason it reminds me of a weird soviet Estonian cartoon called Suur Toll, the style was not same but somewhat similar especially with how you draw the faces. I love the perspectives on the faces too, like the one facing the side so you can see more of his nose and stuff. The way you drew the roots all squiggly was really nice too, and I love the little mountain peeking over the top. Great work and keep it coming!

TheMarooned responds:

Wow thank you so much for the kind words! I haven't heard of Suur Toll, but just looked it up and it looks amazing, thank you for the recommendation :)

[Up On The Hill]

I love how everything has a subtle face the longer you look at it. This is very weird and cool at the same time, but I'm in love with the style! It's very folk storybook like in a very unique way. I can actually see like a whole story with illustrations in this style. The palette of colors you used also works so well together! Amazing work, keep it up :D

[AiAi]

Look at him go weeeee
But for real this is really cool! Honestly right off the bat my favorite thing about this is that you not only drew an accurate ball from the game, but you drew it as such a rotation that it shows like 90% of the character very clearly instead of partially obstructing him. I also really like the linework, how you drew the ears, and the clothes is very well done too! The face is also super on point to how he's supposed to look, so everything about this feels very good. Great work, keep it coming!

Hey thank you for your comment ^^

[Final Fantasy]

This is awesome pixelart! I love how you did the shading at such small resolution, especially the very vibrant shading on the mage. The outlining style was also very well done, and the lighting on stuff like the swords was awesome. Amazing work, keep it coming!

thank you soo much

[Hustle - The Business Girls]

I really like how you did the background here, it's very cool for both pictures! And the lighting and shading match the general hue of the picture which is also pretty cool. The posing is very full of character and doesn't look static at all. The cars are also extremely well drawn and so is the lineart on the girls as well. Great work, keep it up!

[UNDEFEATABLE]

Very well drawn! I really like super sonic, and I like how you did more with him than just making his skin yellow. The glow from his surrounding fire/aura/whatever affecting his colors was a great decision to make him look all powered up. The linework is also very nice, clean and on point. And you got his head shape and face perfectly! So great work, keep it up :D

[DuozeSphora]

God I love retro 3D art so much, I already got a strong 90s render vibe from this when I saw it but when I looked at the tags I was so happy to see 90s in there haha. This fits the retro style perfectly and to be honest, I can't even tell you why, but I feel it very strongly from just looking at the picture. I love the reflection on all the spheres and the tiled floor, the purple hue, and the bland pyramids in the bg to help with the aesthetic. Just amazing work all around, keep it up!!

[Head of the Headless Horseman]

Oooh this is awesome! I know nothing about WoW but this instantly reminded me of Lost Soul from the og DOOM but green haha. I really love how you did the linework on the helmet, it's very sharp and defines all the right places. The coloring on it is also very nice, and the lighting is very good to help illustrate the green light source. But man the fire is so good too, it's usually very hard to draw flame and I think you managed to really nail it perfectly with this style! It looks very fluid, especially the way it comes out of the helmets eyes and mouth. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

ShivaSenpai responds:

Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time on this one. Glad to see it paid off.

[Melee Mains]

Always nostalgic to see anything related to Melee haha, I love it! My favorite thing about this is probably all the dynamic poses you gave for everyone, they are all in a different pose with a different expression that fits their character most, but were arranged together very well. The linework on all the characters is very clean, and the shading is very nice too. I also like the simple but somehow nostalgic background, maybe it's the fact that it uses bright colors, I am not sure. Anyways great work, keep it up!

[Twilight -COMMISSION-]

What a cool and awesome design, amazing work! I love how much detail you put into every part of this creature, like the scales, the spikes, the mane, claws, underbelly, face, and especially the wings. You really made this look so majestic, like an actual mythical creature. And that painted background fits so well, I especially love how you made the tail fade into the clouds at the bottom. It adds a great feeling of depth. But yeah amazing work, keep it coming!!
