[Kunckles & Knuckles]

This is amazing! I love the clash of styles. The retro knuckles looks like he is from the SRB2 style too haha. But the idea for the picture is awesome, and the way you drew realistic knuckles is crazy accurate to the movie. Even the quills are all slightly discolored to show lighting. It's a beautiful picture, keep it up!!

Dirtilam responds:

Hay thank you for the compliment on my drawings this has made my day THANK UUU!

[LURKING LEGS]

That's a very cool fakemon! I love how you basically took Chandelure and turned it into a spider like creature in a relatively same pose. The bulbous orange top part is very interesting and spooky, and the fangs are really cool. It feels like one of those evolutions that would happen in only certain very specific conditions like holding a stone or whatever. But yeah I really love the design, keep up the great work!

DualDragons responds:

Thanks! Yeah that was my thought process as well, I thought putting it in the same pose would be neat

I really like mosaics because sometimes they are very fun to decipher. I actually missed the fact that it was a wolf in the title, but when I read that I immediately saw it :)

I really like the types of rocks you used to form the mosaic, but I also like how you did a smart use of spacing to make the eye. The small rocks to resemble the teeth were perfect to use too. It's just a really nice thing to look at honestly. Great work, keep it coming :D

Thank you so much for your words... another opera like this coming!

[dr. robotnik wasp nest destroyer]

I haven't seen the original until now (which god why does that exist lmao) but this is just perfect. It'd totally make sense for Robotnik to just build some over the top random thing for a simple purpose haha

I love how you adapted an actual real world design to work with the little flying machine he sits in usually. I also love the simple but stylized linework, and the tiny little shine on his head. But my favorite thing about this is just the idea you had to draw this in general. Awesome work, keep it up!

thank you so much!!

[Pumkin and Cactus - 2004]

So cute! I love the expressions you gave them, they both look very happy to be together. They also really look accurate to plants besides the faces so that's very nice. The texture on the objects they are standing on is very cool, and I love how you drew the shadows. And lastly I also really like how you did lighting and shading, it makes the picture look much more vibrant! Amazing work, keep it coming :D

Damare-Draws responds:

thank you so much for this very nice comment! <33

[fever dream drawings]

I feel like this perfectly encapsulates the weirdness and confusion of a fever dream. How it's supposed to be scary but at the same time you feel so confused looking at it. I love how you drew the doctor so strangely, especially slanted towards the top. And the anatomical picture he is holding is also very well done. The grain over the whole image helps add to the disorientation and eeriness. So really just great work, keep it coming!

NeverSkipEggDay responds:

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[Re: Sonic the Hedgehog **for SEGA CD**]

This is just crazy good. Not only are the pictures made so well, but the style is almost 1:1 with how sonic would officially be drawn (retro), I would easily have mistaken this for official promotional art! You drew all the characters amazingly, from the shading to the anatomy and posing. I have too little words to describe all the great stuff I feel from this, so I'm just gonna say amazing work and keep it up!!!

RocktheBull responds:

Gosh wow, Octopus! Thank you so much for your kind words!!

[Rocks can be friends too]

Love this for so many reasons! First is probably the colored outlines, makes it look much more natural. Second is how accurate you actually got Corsola to look here. And third is probably the way you did lighting and shading, really helped emphasize smoothness and roughness, especially with the light blob on the head around the top left. I could honestly see this as actual pokemon card artwork haha. Great work, keep it coming!!

ARandomLake responds:

ty so very much!!!

[[ FLYKILLER GRACE ] (NO. 0)]

Very dystopian and cool, I love the design very much! It does look like a super armored robot fly which is sick, and I love how you drew all the little legs and hooks, especially the noisy version with the fire. The subtle linework is perfect for the style, and the shading really helped emphasize different parts and depth. Amazing work, keep it coming!

J-E-Tremulant responds:

I thank you for the kind words!
