[Alien Muse]

Nice

Well the artwork is very good on this piece, although the colors are a bit strange.

The signature was certainly a nice touch and is interesting to look at.

The sky looks cool, and the mountains have style. The alien is rather strange but was depicted well.

Overall a rather strange image. Doesn't really convey any certain meaning to me personally, but the artwork is good nonetheless.

Keep up the good work

InsertFunnyUserName responds:

Thanks.

It's not meant to have meaning, really. It was created as a submission for the alien art collab.

[The Ozzman VS The Batman]

Nice

Pretty good image. The depiction of Ozzy looks pretty accurate and the 'bat' character he's biting looks good. Might have been cooler had it been a real bad, but w/e. The background is strange, but appropriate for the image.

Shading was done pretty well and the glasses have a nice glassy effect that works well. I also like the shine on the hair. Pretty convincing.

The hand is probably the most realistic looking part of the image. It was drawn incredibly well.

Overall a little mismatched and not a theme I really get into, but a good image nonetheless. Keep up the good work.

Merol responds:

You mean an actual bad character since Ozzy is not actually evil?

Thanks! I used my own hand as a reference.

THANKS A LOT!

[Mr. Buisness man]

Not bad

Even though it's devoid of a background, the character was made quite well actually. The shading looks decent and adds nice depth to the business man. He doesn't really strike me as a business man though. For some reason it looks like he just woke up and he's in his pajamas or something.

The briefcase also doesn't look very proportionate in my opinion, or that's like the smallest briefcase ever. The facial expression is a bit odd, and could probably use some improvement, but overall it's an okay picture. It certainly looks like he's in motion which is neat.

Overall, it has a few flaws, but also some good parts. It's a decent image, but could use a bit of polishing. Keep up the good work.

StalkerGuy responds:

Alright, thanks!

[Flower /SN/]

Not bad

It's great for a first, that's for sure, but it seems to have a few minor flaws.

First off, your use of the random blurs I liked. They seem well spread out and random. I do like that. The flower looks cool, and the text is decent. I think you could have used some more attractive fonts, but they do work.

I think the biggest issue in this picture is the color. I'm not sure if you've ever studied color theory, but the colors just don't seem attractive to me. Could just be a personal thing, idk, but it seems to lack contrast. I remember in the tiny bit of color theory studies I did, there were multiple ways to do color. One method was different shades of a certain color, the other methods are relied on using colors that worked together and shading those accordingly.

What I mean is, the blue isn't really appropriate without other shades of blue in the image. The color of the flower doesn't seem to blend because there aren't any shades of that color in the background either.

I hope that makes some kind of sense to you and helps you a bit in the future. Overall though I enjoy the image. It's a great start!

SessileNomad responds:

ive never studied color theory so im kind of just wondering in the dark when it comes to that matter

im glad you like the blurs lol

[The Lovers]

Oh wow

What I see here, is chaos. I see meteors flying towards them, a fiery inferno, and storms. At the base of all this is a couple, comforting each other in their last moments before death. Touching? A bit, but also a bit cliche...like a typical movie ending.

The art is very good, I only noticed a few things I don't like about it. The girl looks like a cyclops, and the guys arm is deformed. Might wanna polish up on drawing biceps/triceps lol.

Other than those minor things, a great image. The background has a very chaotic feel to it, and that sun looks daunting. I think you did a great job on conveying that.

Keep up the great work.

Merol responds:

I'm not very good at anatomy :(
She looks like a cyclops? Why's that?

Thanks a lot for the feedback, sorry that i didn't write a longer answer, but i just don't know what else to say.

THANKS A LOT AGAIN!!

[The Sugar Claws Cover]

Nice

Looks good to me. The different shades of color work together really well and has a pleasant visual effect.

The art is pretty good, although it looks a bit linear to me. It's totally symmetrical and everything seems very neatly ordered, whereas I prefer work that's like total chaos but still looks ordered.

The character in the middle was done well, almost looks a bit creepy really. The font looks great as well.

Overall a decent piece.

[Tom Fulp: The Beard]

Decent

It's not bad for pixel art but like someone else had pointed out I can't see any resemblance to Tom. What's up with his right wrist anyway? Whatever that is, it certainly doesn't look natural, lol.

The drawing of the person is good, and the background is fitting, although it's obvious that you didn't draw the tank, which is unfortunate. I think a pixel tank would have surely added to the 'pixel feel' of the image. As for the background, did you create that as well? Or was that taken from somewhere else?

The proportions are a bit odd, especially with the legs being that skinny, but I think you drew the belt rather well.

Overall it's not bad, but I think it could have used a bit more work.

-RRC-

EventHorizon responds:

the background of the drawing I honestly have not created, in fact in my next piece of art will change the background and draw in pixel-art, anyway thanks for your review.

[Lay off the coke, Garfield!]

Not bad

It's not bad, but it does have issues. It has a very scratchy style to it, which isn't bad, but certain perception things are wrong. The legs on the table look like they were drawn wrong, the door doesn't seem to be large enough either.

Coked out Garfield was drawn pretty well though, and it is a bit humorous, but I was a bit disappointed to see that the text in the bubble is cut off. You didn't type what it said in the author comments either...so...if that's supposed to be the punchline I don't get it.

Overall an okay drawing. Could have used some work on the perception for sure, or maybe even some color. Would have been nice to be able to see the whole image.

-RRC-

Blue-Dolphin responds:

The text in the bubble was "Hey, everybody's already doing it!" it's not as much of a punchline as it is an explaination.

[Marine Dance]

Hmm

Well the concept was certainly interesting on this one, but I'll have to say that the quality of this one doesn't look so great. It does look like low quality paint, either/or the texture was taken too far.

The painting idea certainly was good though, and it looks like two whales swimming underwater to me.

I'm surprised that this got frontpaged - I mean I'm happy for you, but of all your works I wonder why this was chosen. To me, it just looks like there's some quality issues with it...My overall opinion is that it's still a great painting, but I've seen far better from you.

Keep up the great work.

-RRC-

Hacsev responds:

I would repeat the above response. You're are tougher in your criticism, but I can tell you admire my overall work and expect high quality output at all times. Thanks.

[Fred]

Not terrible

It's not terrible really, but not that great at the same time. I love the colors you used a lot for this, and the wider lines for the ghost seems fitting. Your drawing certainly shows that you have potential, but at the same time doesn't really reflect a lot of effort in my opinion.

If you look at the larger image, there are plenty of parts where color overlaps lines that it obviously shouldn't. In a finished product, I wouldn't expect that to be the case. Other than the fact that it sorta screams amateur, the picture isn't too terrible either. Keep at it.
