[GamePro Magazine Issue Unknown]

Love this picture so much! The whole Sega Nintendo rivalry was such a weird time, it's cool to have a flashback piece like this to illustrate it in a funny way. The shading and lighting you used, and especially the style, really help set the time of the picture and make it feel old school. Everything about it is awesome, really, and I love it :D

Great job, keep it up!

This is really cute! Love the simple shading and the color palette you used, especially the shading color. Background also helps with the simplistic style. Keep it up :)

CRANTIME responds:

Thank you! will do

I love these kinds of designs, yet I cant pinpoint what exactly I mean by that. But the water color like style is so perfect for this! I also definitely just love how you made the character, especially with the cute little eyes and cheeks. Would be perfect for a story book. Love this kind of stuff, keep it up :)

I don't know much about inscyption but I really like your art! I like the lining on the eyes as its not purely solid and a bit blurred, and the subtle scanlines are really good for stylistic purposes. Posing and hands look really good too! Keep up the awesome work :)

Ty! This was just a quick doodle but I really wanted to capture the scanline/blur effect the actual game has at some points. Also I'd definitely recommend playing it yourself if you get any interest in the future its really good!

I guess this is what perfection looks like lol

But for real this is really simple and funny, I really like it. Keep it up :)

[Interdimensional Coliseum (Commission)]

Love this! It feels so light and warm, and especially detailed. The lighting is probably my favorite part about this piece, but everything in it's composure is definitely great. I also love how you handled drawing the small people further from the camera! Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

This revamp is amazing! The first one wasn't too bad, but man you can feel the difference with the new version you made. It's definitely full of life and very vibrant, unique and distinguishable from any zone in any classic sonic game. Keep up the amazing work :D

I saw several of your other works that you posted today (and I enjoyed all of them) but this has got to be my favorite! Your art is unlike anything I've seen before, especially on this site. But the idea is so creative, and it comes out looking so interesting! You really nail down the shapes of the animals you make with all these different metallic objects. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait to see more from you :)

FTerracciano responds:

I heartily thank you for your words. I try to make art with any material and create something with which to distinguish myself from other styles and types of art.

Very cute cartoony character, I like it! The style is very nice and the colors are very fitting. I love the shading you did, especially on his eyes. Keep up the nice work :)

HappyMaskSalesman123 responds:

Thank you! I will keep up :)

[Badasses]

I haven't seen these characters before but the art is awesome! The posing is very full of personality, and the rough lines add to the style a lot. The colors also work very well together and the shading is simple but definitely does the job very well. Keep it coming :D
