[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!

Woww, I really appreciate you taking the time to give me such a thought out comment, thank you very much!

Very interesting style! Looks very grimey and dark, and kinda fits an album cover look. I absolutely love the perspective, the added noise, the colored lighting and the linework. You did an amazing job in like almost every aspect possible. And the wires are really really cool. Awesome work, keep it coming :D

BOZERBOZER responds:

thanks i really appreciate it!

[Snaarjutter]

Oooh, very interesting design! First off I like the palette you used, it really helped highlight the figure and important feature in the lighter colors while everything else fades to black. It also gives off this cold, mysterious feeling as well. I also like form and perspective, especially how you can tell that this creature's collar is frilled for example. The head and hat shape is very cool too, I like it a lot. Great work, keep it coming :D

thanks!

This painting has a very eerie lonely feeling to it, which I think is perfect for the theme you went for. Even the colors help emphasize it! I really like how even though the landscape is simple, you still put a lot of detail into the grooves and bumps of the ground. The choice of watercolor was also great for the sky, it looks grainy and cold. Great work, keep it up!

[The Binding of Isaac fanart]

I never played BOI but I love how you drew the characters! It looks very in style to the game itself, and you gave them all very fun expressions. The shading and linework is very clean and accurate, and all the blood splatters have a mostly realistic fluid pattern. Great work, keep it up :D

choconyan responds:

Thank you so much! Your comment made me love painting even more!!

[Battle in front of Mesagoza]

This looks really nice! I love the white outline style, and the watercolor shading style. I haven't actually played PSV but everything here looks just right for a Pokemon game. And the posing is very awesome and intense, including the expressions for all the characters. Great work, keep it up!

[The adventures of Peppy the Penguin]

This is so cute! I love all these original designs very much. You gave them all such expressive poses and colorful outfits, and the landscape design shows a lot of different places in one. Everything here looks very friendly and happy (well, maybe except the cat bc the cat looks evil lol). Great work, keep it coming :D

And hey who knows, maybe you'll make this into a game one day :)

[Newgrounds RockToons Parody]

I have never seen the original image till now but I love your art so much! Not only did you manage to replicate the style from the original so well, but I love all the unique poses you gave each character. They all look like their original designs and very in character. I love this so much, keep up the amazing work!
