[Prisoner #39023]

Nice sprite animations, especially the bottom two. The ear movements are a great detail for the character overall. Suggestion: Use more of the darker orange on the edges, like on the shoulders, and to shade the legs consistently. Because of the amount of details on the arms, neck, and head, the bright uniform feels a little off. The animation for taking damage might benefit the most from toning down the lighter orange with more of the darker orange so the yellow blast stands out.

NinustheNoosh responds:

Hey man thanks for the info! I'll make sure to use what you say for the next time I do this, which is pretty soon.

[[Staring Uncomfortably At Nothing - 2025]]

Delightful. I mean, if your avatar is portraying delight, that's extremely subtle; but I'm feeling it!

Zyo responds:

Awwww...
I really felt your comment. Thank you very much.
I appreciate it :'D

[MCL NewGen - DevonXMySucrette]

Lovely. The kiss is landing well, the expressions are sweet, and and the little squish of the front face is nicely done. I love the colors, too; the way blues alternate with the dark gray/browns is engaging. | Might help to tag this as "my-candy-love" and "fan-art". I had to look it up to know what "MCL" is, and fans won't be able to find this illustration in a search without tags.

EllaVick responds:

Thank you so much! I haven't really thought of these details to be honest, but I'm happy you noticed! haha
I will be more carefull with the tags next time c:

[The House of The Dead Thumbnail]

I like the character drawings. I dislike how they're mismatched with the title, which looks like a scan of a metallic book cover or card that could look cleaner with a digital redraw.

Tele-Pathetic responds:

This is helpful, thanks! :)

[Get pumped]

I love the face. This character seems fun. The overall colors are fun. What I'm not pumped up about: At first I thought the lines were blood vessels. Looking again, that wouldn't make sense. Blood vessels don't grow in that pattern. So then I guessed scars. But thinking about more, they've got to be blood vessels. Anyhow, I like the clothes; slightly suggestive of a snake.

JArtist88 responds:

It's supposed to be blood flowing through his veins.

[Space Lady]

Gorgeous, and creative! I especially love her hair and the glow effects.

There was a technical problem you might want to know about . The image was extremely slow to load for me. Maybe the file size is too big? I'm not sure everyone would wait for the lady to appear.

LIAVI responds:

Oh thank you!
Being honest, I didn't expect to see a comment on something as old as this piece... but in regards to the file size (iirc), yeah it's probably a bit big for what it's worth -w-

[Commission: Annamalee]

Lovely colors. Gorgeous curves. The shiny details are very appealing.

For me, the duck in the cage is less appealing. Just seems out of place. The bird is simultaneously the focal point of the image and partially hidden by the bright bars. I don't understand why. I'm not sure what's happening in this image.

But I'm guessing it's significant to the client, whose opinion is the one that really matters.

The stained glass background blends too well with the goth character, in my opinion, but it is very pretty, too.

smashbrethren responds:

Thanks for the compliments. I'll have to keep in mind the level of contrast between the background elements and the main figure next time.

As for the posing and goose, they were pretty much specified exactly by the client. The only thing I had much artistic liberty with was the design of the outfit.
