[Evolution of Gaming]

BOMBERMAN

'Nuff said.

[Baby Pink]

I just love this one.

The idea is both funny and cute, and your style is put to its best in here. But using baby pink and blue just rounded it all.

Congrats, this pic has granted you a scouting request!

[The Doctor]

Succesful once again.

First, the creation and now, the creator!
You had a lot of great ideas for this character, but you did something even better, you've managed to render them visually in the design. Every feature has its reason to be like that. Although I dig scarred girls, my favourite part is the dress. It's really easy to overlook it, but once you notice the flower pattern, you can't forget about it! And you realize then this character must have something else than being dark and gritty to it... She has a personality, with nuances.

Your reinterpretation of the Frankenstein lore is really exciting to look at. Congratulations, man.

[Tattoo - Angel Spider]

Sweet Mother of Gawd...

You made a Tarantula look cute.
NOW YOU'RE MY FUCKIN' HERO.

[The Creation]

Weird Science!

As a Frankenstein lover, I feel obliged to express how do I like your interpretation of this archetype. I love that face with the badass grin (Maybe because, disturbingly enough, I find some features similar to... mine. Gulp.) and that do is übercool. I find funny the pointy ear, but it makes me think you'll probably are putting the history in a heroic-fantasy-gothic setting. And surprisingly enough, I'm liking it.
Sorry for not commenting too much on the technical aspect. I love it and if there's something wrong, I don't wanna bother looking for it.
One last thing: After reading your story... Wouldn't you have thought swapping Victor for Victoria?

arvalis responds:

Thanks so much for the nice words my friend. Honestly i really like your Victoria idea a lot. The doctor was the only character of the three that i dont have a concept for yet. I will definitely try out a female concept now. As far as the long ear, he has various other creature parts, the eye came from a demon so i figure the ear came with it. Notice the long claws on one hand and the clawed toes :P

[Western Chibi Moon]

FULL MOON POWER!!!

I love it! That cotton legs are super-charming, they remind me much of Ryusuke Mita, one of my favourite mangaka! The flocking p-tails look gorgeous, the sakura background is rad and you really nailed the eye design!
One tip about eyelashes: It's cool to match hair and eyelashes, but it looks weird with certain colours. (blondes suffer particularly...) But recently I found kind of an agreement: eyelashes look still good with a high K percentage. With 100%, it should be black, but a trace of the original color still can be noticed. If you lower the percentage of K, you can make the color stand out more. Just give it a try, I made it in my latest two illustrations and I'm really satisfied with the results!
'Till next time!

PixelCake responds:

thanks for the tips :D

[Mindchamber]

Great redesign!

You got us already accustomed to showcase excellent design ideas mixing colors, textures and deceivingly sketchy outlining combined with actual knowledge of how to draw properly that conform one of the most distinguished styles from the NG Art Portal. And this picture is another sample of that.
But there's something in this redesign that really impressed me. You haven't used a faceplate. There's the mohawk/nose plate, the cheek ones, the eyes and Blam! There's MindChamber's face!
You've reduced its face to minimal, abstract elements and yet it's totally recognizable... I just can't resist that witty solutions!

[Blondish]

I love this close-up

That, and the texture and the colors makes a really powerful image.
Looks like I'm not going to forget this picture anytime soon...
Excellent!

Araelyn responds:

Aw thanks for the awesome review! I'm flattered :3
