[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!!

Thank you so much for all the positive feedback! I really appreciate it ;-; <3

[daddy dearest]

I like memey drawings like this lol. The rough outline is actually pretty cool, and what's especially cool is that the drawing looks very accurate to the actual style and look of Daddy Dearest. The glare was also drawn pretty well for the style. Good work, keep it coming!

[Constance in the Game Grid]

Oooh, very good work! I dunno these characters (and I haven't watched Tron oops) but this is amazing work! First of all the line work is super duper clean yet not too contrasting. The coloring, shading and lighting are done perfectly and look almost real. But man that motion blur effect is something else! It's so smooth and looks very good. This is just awesome overall, keep up the great work!

[Piplup & Pachirisu]

Very cute! The designs here look so accurate to their official representation, I think you did a very good job. The posing is also very nice, and I love their expressions. You even gave Pachirisu little berry stains on its mouth! Everything about this illustration is very good. Awesome work, keep it up :D

[Carrot hair girl, Anne.]

I never read the book, but I really really like what you did here. It feels cozy and very reminiscent of an actual winter park at night. The 3D model looks very nice, smooth in the best way, and very accurate to human proportions. I love how you did the braided hair in the back too, that must have been pretty hard to do. It almost looks like this is all made out of clay, I can't say why but I mean it in a good way! The blurred background really helps add to the depth, and the effect of running water is just great. Keep up the amazing work!

[trashy sonic drawings]

I think these are actually pretty cool! Even in the jokey drawings you got the snout and head shape right mostly, and the colored pictures just look stylized yet still accurate. I like the different ways you drew the characters in general, some were also pretty funny :)
Good work, keep it coming!

[Rodeo at Sunset]

This is very cute! I dunno if this is your character but I absolutely love how it looks! Cute cartoony dinosaurs are always nice but this one is especially cheery and happy. The posing and expression is great, but man the work you put into the background is also just perfect. You clearly spent a lot of time on this and it came out looking awesome. Great work, keep it up :D

Thank you so much :)

[Fat bear week woo!]

The first picture I was like haha funny bear but the second one is straight up horror lmao

I love this though! You have a very interesting shading style in many different ways, and the linework is very nice too. The background is very simple and helps with the contrast and mood of the piece. The design with the second image is very interesting too. While it seems simple, IK love how you essentially gave the bear a row of teeth prolonging the whole side of his body. It's perfect for a horror look. Great work, keep it up!
