[Happy Halloween!!]

What a friendly looking uh thing lol
I love it though! The style is neat, I love the double outline with the black and then the lighter violet. The design is also terrifying, where the frills are just meat flaps layered with teeth, yet somehow a little cute because of the pumpkin basket haha. Shading is also very fitting with the style! Great work, keep it up :)

Thank you so much for the compliments and nice words!

[happy halloween :)]

Love the palette on this! I always see chandelure drawn more purple, so the green is a nice change of pace and makes it somehow a little bit more spooky/uncanny lol. The bright magenta bg with green strokes is very vibrant and pops out. I also love how you drew the fire on this, it's a really cool style. Keep up the great work!

naraicat responds:

it's the shiny palette! one of the coolest shiny pokémon in my opinion :)

thanks so much for the kind words!

[Mad as a Fox]

Cool drawing! I like how you used different color outlines and black fill, making the lines thicker where you want to emphasize more color. Nice stuff and keep it up!

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Thank you! : D

I love doing impressionism so much, is amazing what one can get away with using only lines~

[ship]

Feels lonely, but I think that's a good thing with this kind of picture. It just inflicts curiosity of what's on that ship and what is it doing, what's the planet down below, etc.. The design of the ship is also cool, and same with the little extension in the front with the three smaller extensions. The background is simple and very fitting. Keep up the great work :D

Spingular-E-Zorkman responds:

aye i didn't really go overboard with the amount of things in the picture it's more or less just a quick little blob i did out of boredom

thankye though

[Drawtober 2023 - Day 31: Halloween]

Lol this is both spooky but also a cute character design :)
I love the dynamic posing, and especially the action towards the top of the picture. The projectile splurging is very realistic too. The design/style/palette combo is also very unique and just feels great to look at. Just very nice stuff overall, keep it up!

BastianConst responds:

Thank-you so much for the lovely comment and feedback. I greatly appreciate it :)

[Resort]

This is so pretty! Kind of has this weird nostalgic feeling to it but I can't explain why, maybe it's the colors you used, but either way it's a very nice feeling and I really like it. The palette is beautiful, it all fits together and just feels fuzzy. The barely visible tiles through the water is such a cool touch, and the lighting on the water is also amazing! It's such a simple scene but it makes me feel so happy :)

Keep up the great work!!!

Chickhand responds:

Omg thank you!! I wish the perspective of everything on top is better but i really like the water as well... thanks!

[Behemoth attacks New Delhi]

This is a really awesome and powerful picture. From the title, I assumed it would be some kind of natural looking land beast, but what you came up with is a design for a Behemoth I've never seen before; it's so cool! I absolutely love how the rocks kind of look like a rib cage, and the head roughly reminds me of a cacodemon lol. Giving the surrounding environment (including the POV) a cyberpunky feel was also such a cool idea. Yet again you drew something really awesome, keep up the amazing work!

Ace0fredspades responds:

Thanks So Very Much!)
I will)

[Tavern with the gang]

I love the composition! The tavern looks cozy and all the characters are clearly so expressive too; especially the guy with the eyes popping out lol. You definitely hit the medieval feel with not only the tavern and character designs but all the wooden mugs on the table, the quiver on the floor, the gold coins, etc.. I also really like the shading and warmer colors you used in general. Keep up the great work!

Lucashor023 responds:

Thank you!!!!

[pumpkin pies]

For some reason I don't like eating pumpkin pie, but the way you drew it is so yummy looking I think I want to try again lol. The palette is so warm and cozy, and really fits fall. I also really love the way you did the shading, and the fact that all of these items are made with the pixel art style is awesome. Especially the pumpkin too, it has so much detail! Great work, keep it up :D

maruki responds:

Thanks a lot for your extremely kind words! I do not like pumpkin things in general, but working on this made me want to try!

[(Old Drawing) Super Mario World]

Such a vibrant and colorful picture! I think I know what original art this is referencing, but I really love how you drew it. It looks very on point and accurate both in terms of design and color. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

Jalestar responds:
