[Majora's Mask]

I love so many things about this! The posing is great, dynamic, and full of personality. The colored linework also fits with the weird trippy aesthetic of MM. And the shading is straight out of a comic book illustration. The black fills for some of the parts also feels great, especially considering how dark this character is. You did an amazing job, keep it up!!

Maecaart responds:

Thank you so much for all the kind words! I'm hoping to channel this piece in all my future works!

[Affirmation]

I instantly clicked when I saw the thumbnail because it looked like those older style pictures I'd see on the net when I was younger. I am really happy I did because this picture fills me up with a ton of nostalgia, and just looks super close to the style you were trying to emulate! Everything from the gradient fills to the simple backgrounds. The windows were such a good style choice too! When I scrolled down to write this comment I saw what song you linked and I used to listen to it around the same time this aesthetic was still around lol, so it feels like a perfect coincidence. Amazing work, keep it up!!!

RepriseAgain responds:

Thanks, it's good to know I captured the 2000s nostalgia.

[Zad portrait]

It's a very nice portrait, I really like how you shaded it and how you used a light outline for the facial features. Great work :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[A gift for the wolf]

Nice! I really like all the vibrant colors and how you drew the snow falling from the sky. It kind of feels cozy even though winter is cold haha. Awesome as always, keep it up :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[Sitting dog III (alternated version)]

I really like how you arrange the bricks on these, it looks very blocky and "perfect" if that makes sense. Nice to see stuff posted from you lately!

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you! These are the latest publications of alternative works awaiting the official cover for the new year.

[Sitting dog II (alternated version)]

Very nice :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[Christmas tree II]

Really nice! Looks like a snowy cozy tree, and the two different types of stars is really cool :D

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[I drew da boi]

Nice! I like your shading and lighting here, especially how the shading is hued on the face. It gives the picture a more colorful and bright look. The expression is also very well drawn. Keep up the good work!

ToriToshi responds:

Aaaaaaa thank you!!
I haven't shaded like this in a long time tbh, but it's very fun to add details!

[Make Way For The Unseen]

The second I saw this I recognized Kidpix lol, amazing

This is a really cool picture though! I dunno who the character is but I think it's a nice design, and I love how it's peaking over the edge of a building and seeing all this incomprehensible stuff. It's just a cool concept of showing something unknown or unintelligible. Great work, keep it up!

kiotoonyando responds:

Thank you ♡, it's a hiphop artist I really like and I was listening to this album while listening to it: https://youtu.be/nWqNXuQCaWo?si=l4Bla9n0w3QkLMPn

[Sitting man (alternated version)]

Very nice! I like the arrangement, it looks very humanoid and stacked in a really pretty way. Reminds me of how much fun I had long ago playing with bricks haha. Great work as always, keep it up!

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you! I make this alternated versions for create a cover for the next year.
