[Indie-Buddies Vol 5]

So cool! I love how expressive each one is.
Also, love the fact you put Devil Daggers there, really awesome game! ^^

[Okami (2024 Ver.)]

Aw man, my favourite game.
Love the way you used colours here, and the composition makes it look super energetic.
Great job!!

[Rio!]

Aw man, I remember watching this movie ages ago.

The rendering on the characters looks great, the tonal values make them really pop, and your colours work together well! Good job!
In terms of rendering on the characters and the statue, they look fantastic!

I'd say maybe one way you could improve on this piece is by blurring the background elements to give it more depth because looking at it, it's hard to know where to look at first, or where to guide the eye around.
I see you painted the green hills/mountains in the background, another thing you could try is painting them with a blue wash to push them more into the background; In real life things in the distance are also hazy and blueish.

Maybe another way to improve this is by bringing some of the characters forward more towards the "camera" so we as viewers can have a better look at them or create more focal points in the drawing, cause most of them are at a similar distance further away. Compostion can be a tricky thing to get a grasp of, but you're on your way, good job on this piece, and hope I helped at least a little! ^^

Thanks! I appreciate the criticism a lot! It was much needed!

[Kiryu Dragon of Dojima, yakuza fanart]

AMAZING!! Omg, the colours and form in this drawing are great...And the fact it's drawn traditionally.
Stunning work!

SamuraiKNOX responds:

aaaw thank you so much for checking it out, I always think I'll get lost in the sea of extremely skilled and talented artists on this site but comments like this keep me going strong :)

[Corporate Dream]

Dang, I love the texturing work working together with the colours here especially, looks fantastic.
Very nice piece!

[he comes]

Oh man, I love the grainy texture, it makes it feel like CCTV footage or a smudged memory of a nightmare. The tonal values are well done, too.
I wouldn't wanna cross paths with that monster on my hike in the forest...

Great job!!

xaxdemonn responds:

oh my you are making me feel all flustered <3

[The Masked Bandits - Commission]

Fantastic work on this piece!
I spent a good deal of time looking at all the little details and textures all over the place and the lighting, shading and level of polish is so well done, it makes it almost look animated (hope that makes sense, idk how to explain it).

Onislogo responds:

Thanks a lot! This one really took a lot of time.
I also learned a lot about cars and 1930s architecture. It was extremely fun to do this commission!

[No Gods, No Masters]

Absolutely incredible piece, wow...!
I have to say, I love the composition especially and the lighting, it really makes your eyes curious to go around the whole painting.
Wonderful work.

[Raz]
