[Ship Bridge]

Amazing

This is just... crazy! So much detail! You really have an artistic eye for this stuff, because this looks like something you would find in a space sim or something. If not, then it's better! Great structure, love all the hydraulics and wires and pipes and vents and what-not. You should try finishing the rest of the ship that goes with this! Keep it up!!!

[Merry Christmas 08]

Cute

Great piece, beautiful in it's simplicity. Love how she's just standing there, waiting for some snow... great look on the face as well! This piece has a great perspective to it as well, like the top/down view you drew this in. Great work, keep it up!!

Nandi responds:

Thanks!
I always look back at this drawing and wonder if the perspective works at all.

[Full Moon]

Very, very cool

I kind of disagree with 7swords, your piece here, in it's simplicity, has an amazing atmosphere to it. It's simplicity makes it all the more intriguing. It's just like, a beast, standing there. Outstanding definition on the parts of fur that are exposed to the light, you should work on something like this more often! Good job!

beastkid7 responds:

I Appreciate it more than you know dude. I should make more thought out art.

[Mornin' Bub]

Great work

Hey very good job here, love his expression. Great coloring, I've been trying to figure out how to do that myself, but things like this take time!!!

One thing I want to point out is that his torso is a bit short, and his crotch area could be a bit longer because right now it all makes his upper body look a little squished. Other than that, the piece is truly amazing!

[Sci fi Chick]

Great

Hey great job, love the suit design! Very techie. Her hips expand too quickly from her waist, and her legs are a bit too far apart. If you make the transfer between her waist and hip a little smoother, it should look better. Other than that, great pose, and cool colors!

[Death's Row]

Not that crappy

Its not the best I've seen, but you've got a good idea rolling here. Like the style, great values in many areas. I like how Death is kind of sweeping in and showing off his... row? Though I think one thing that would look better would be if you pulled his hood further forward on his head, right now it looks like it'll fall off. Other than that, good job! I quite like it honestly. Also, unless you're specifically limiting the background beings to four, you could add a fifth one to fill up the space behind Death and make the row look less abruptly ending. Good job!

[Illia Concept]

Cool suit

Very good job on the suit design, love the style. Though one thing you might want to work on is the hair; it looks a bit funky because of how the bangs are so angular but the rest of the hair is so curly. You also might want to thin out the main length of hair, and make the curls a bit less thick; make it flow some more. The only other thing I would say is that she looks a bit off balance; maybe leaning back too much? Other than that great piece, can't wait to see how it turns out in a 3D render!

Osuka responds:

Thanks this was getting experimental with the style also about the hair i met a girl who had a style like that, so i got inspired to make it that way :D

[Double Bluff]

Amazing

Hilarious irony you put in this piece, and I love how the thumbnail makes it just look like the small fish is about to be pwned. Great job, I love how the background is a bit messy with the swirls and stuff. Great atmosphere with this piece, its funny how clueless the middle fish looks. Good work!

[Jumper Girl 3]

Cute

Great style you put on this piece, I really like it. Love the pose, and how her legs are just a bit exaggerated in length; everything adds a really exciting style to this drawing.

Brakkenimation responds:

Thanks very much for your review. I appreicate it :)

[More Space]

GREAT piece

It has a great ambient feel to it, reminds me a lot of old space sims like Freelancer or Real Space. Incredible job, keep doing stuff like this! Though one thing I think could be worked on a bit is the closer planet in the bottom left corner; it has too hard of a curve at the top, and I think it should be a bit rounder there. Other than that you really put an amazing feel on this piece!

MonkeykingZX responds:

thankyou and yeah i'll work on that for the next piece :)
