[Haunted]

Not bad at all. Nice and creepy and I love all the little hidden details hidden in the haze. Though I do have to ask, were you at all inspired by the "Futurekill" painting by H.R. Giger? There's just a bit of a resemblance :P

Scottr5680 responds:

Thank you! No, it has no relation to that painting and I have only now seen it. I am however a huge fan of Giger and his work has been an inspiration for some of my own.

[Bright Eyes]

That's actually pretty awesome. I rather like the lighting, it's actually kind of eerie how well you captured the look of seeing something through a nighttime lens usually when people paint it it looks rather off. But it looks good enough here that it adds a tinge of realism that's cool, even if I scared my daughter because she walked in and thought it was a genuine photograph :P She's still wondering what the hell I'm looking at. For whatever reason, I really like the deer on the left (Or the girls right) for some reason, he's got a cute nose :3

zephyo responds:

Oh lol thank you :D haha!! It's really that scary?? And thanks, I think so too

[walking the turtle...]

So that's what a hobbit + turtle hybrid looks like

Awesome drawing. I'm assuming you used traditional mediums, as it has a very traditional look to it. I love the detail and the style, kind of humorous even if the Turtle has a somewhat melancholy look to it. GJ.

navatika responds:

I love to work in pencil and pen, but the final touches are done in Photoshop :^)

[Die Hank]

Cool

That's pretty cool, the detail is amazing - maybe a bit too much so. Actually making the Madness movies seem scary or nightmarish takes some bloody talent, yet somehow you've done it - so maybe you can add yet another definition to what we consider the Madness series, with actual detail - it can be a disturbing kind of madness just as much as it can be chaotic madness. Creepy, gory, cool. Love it mate.

Rhunyc responds:

Thanks a ton, dude! Very nice words you've given me!

[You'll Never Catch Me Alive!]

Love it!

That was awesome! I always love comics and cartoons that have a "Classic 'toon" visual vibe to them, so that's a large part of why I love this - but the joke and detail is just as large a part. It's a humorous little gag; and I love the silly details, like the lightbulb in the criminals brain-splatter and the baseball in one of the cops splatter; made me chuckle seeing them. I take it the criminal was a bit brighter if he had a bulb though... :P

Great comic, mate!

ToonHole responds:

Notice the light bulb was not ON. See, it's all in the details... Hah, just kidding. You got a great eye! A lot of people I've shown this stuff to don't pick up on that

[I wonder...]

Awesome

I love the painting. You definitely have talent; it requires quite a bit of it to make Awesome Snake and Bitey look creepy. I also love the expression on Salad Fingers' face, has all the erm... "charm" that he retains in the flash animations; a mix of confused innocence and underlying madness. Good job eh.

Merol responds:

THANKS A LOT!

[Oriental Beauty]

Not too shabby.

I really like the pose, and the soft colours are very nice. The outfit is neat too and you definitely get a sense of grace.

My main gripe though really just lies in the style. I don't like the face here and I've never really liked those style eyes/nose/mouth. That is really the only thing I don't like about this drawing. I kinda replace the face in my mind with say, the face of my wife Chie who herself is an Oriental beauty. ^^

I can also definitely say that looking at some of your other pieces alongside this one, it is at least better than a lot of other online artists (Both from my current homeland of Japan and from the rest of the world) who employ the style as you seem to have a better sense of anatomy.

DragonPunch responds:

Thank you very much.

[Musical Beacon]

lolwut

This is *insert obligatory pun reference to the meme within the picture*.

[The Crow and the Butterfly]

Interesting

I liked it; I will say that I had no idea it was a song at first (Until the hooks and searching the name) and at first thought it was a poem of your devise; but regardless, it is an interesting set of lyrics and your handwriting, I must say, is gorgeous.

MusicalMahem responds:

it's a font i made.... unfortunately its very similar to a font on the program i use... saddens me really. but thank you.

[Red Memory]

Wow

Normally this isn't really my thing, but this is a beautiful painting. I think Vash looks a little more feminine then he should, but I'm willing to forgive that seeing the theme and motif. The colours are insanely vivid and so is the detail. This REALLY caught my eye and the sheer beauty and intensity of the colours makes this a quick favourite.

Erion90 responds:

Oh really thanks, also for the fav! And I really appreciate your comment!! I'm glad that you like it! ^ ^
