[Happy birthday, mels]

Happy (late) Birthday!! Hope you have a great year ahead with lots of fun and success :)

This doodle is really nice too! I dunno who the creature is, but I really like it. It's cute and reminds me of a bunny or something. The glow is also really cool on all of them, and the background is cartoonishly funny and stylish. Keep up the great work!

melX0exe responds:

Thanks!!! The creatures are called Colts. They are one of my ocs :))

[The Joy of Life]

This is such a strange and beautiful piece! I love all the swirls and how they just kind of turn into plants as they spiral out from the center. The blend of colors is also very interesting, as green and magenta/purple are opposite colors, so its cool to see a clashing element executed so well and smoothly. Definitely feels like happiness pouring out all over a dark space. Awesome work, keep it up!!

AlexSavenije responds:

Thank you so much for detailed review! I really get fueled when I get great comments!

[OC - bug in space]

This is such an awesome design! It looks like one of the Kirby knights, but very original and interesting in design. Kind of like if Sir Kibble mixed with Meta Knight + a ton of originality. I absolutely love the colors you chose for this, especially the gradient on the cape. The posing is also really cool and characteristic. Awesome work, keep it coming!

cookiedoughhoe responds:

Aw! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you think it's original haha, I was hoping a Knight character could come off as original, I was really digging for some good references haha. I'm happy to hear it! <33

[Dinosaurs Attack Collab entry]

Lmao I love this redraw with Villager and Blathers! It's perfect since there's a museum in all the AC games lol. I especially love the expression on their faces, like blathers eyes poking out and villager being in complete dread lol. The style is super cool too, I love the linework, the colors you used, and the shading. Awesome stuff, keep it up!!

chazmuco responds:

Thanks octopus, I appreciate it!

[Samathi]

Woah, this is so cool! It kind of looks like the subject (monk I think) is blending into the environment, or is even part of it. Definitely helps since the picture has this theme of meditation and stuff. The background itself is also so beautiful, the snow just looks like a big blanket and the motion blur on the snowflakes is a really cool effect. The palette is also very beautiful and natural. Amazing stuff, keep it coming!!

Ace0fredspades responds:

Thanks So Very Much))
Check out my other pics)

[Mayro]

I love how stylish this is! It definitely looks like Mario while still having such a unique look to it, and the way you did shading and lighting is really nice. It's especially seen on stuff like the nose where it not only changes towards a darker color, but a different hue in general slightly. I also love the expressions, the squished Goomba and excited Mario are perfectly made and put next to each other. Great work, keep it coming!!

The-Vlah responds:

Many thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

[THE CANNIBAL SANDWICH]

What an awesome little sculpture! I love how it looks and how you made the sandwich look angry and hungry lol. Awesome stuff, keep it up as always :D

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you! I made this opera based a story horror write from me called "hallucinogenic fast food" were food are scary like this sandwich.

[Goomba!]

Damn, the level of detail in this is crazy! I love how accurately you depicted the design of that weird Goomba char from the older Mario movie lol, it feels like looking at something 1:1. The shading must've been pretty hard to do because of how detailed it ended up being, it looks so good on your picture! Keep up the awesome work :D

poxpower responds:

Nah it was easy because I'm the best.

[da biggest bird]

Nice drawing! I never saw anyone draw a fusion of these three before, and it's very creative. You even gave it your own kind of flair with the space like wings and stuff which I really like. Straight up just looks super original at this point, like a unique mythical creature. I love the palette you chose, absolutely love the design for sure too. Beautiful work, keep it coming!

r1pkenny responds:

thank you sooo much that means a lot <3

[Eliminate Mother Brain]

Lol this is an awesome little diorama! I like how you arranged everything while keeping the original limited palette look pretty spot on. Great stuff, keep it up!

colorsCrimsonTears responds:

Glad you like it dude! :D
And thanks, I'll try!
