[Duomi: A jester car of sorts!]

The thing I like most about this is that the visual quality of the comic changes depending on the context; like how the starting panels are more simplistic, while the final panel has a significant amount of detail in it.

It's a real big brain move in my opinion, since you save a lot of mental energy from not having to give every single panel in the comic the same amount of high-quality flair that most viewers are used to seeing from your work.

Also, I wonder if we'll ever see more of Duomi's Goomba manager. He's honestly pretty funny.

[injury test]

The man's seen better days.

Big fan of the blood's placement across Dan's face, tbh. Drawing stuff like ink or blood dripping down a surface is a soft spot of mine, so this appeals to said soft spot a lot.

[BLOOD FROM THE CONCRETE]

As an enjoyer of The Scary Jokes' April Fools album, it elevates the symbolism within those key lyrics being used from Blood From The Concrete.

The particular emphasis on "pavement" - the word being in all caps and having a pink border - greatly strengthens the themes that the original song expresses through its lyrics. Although, the character's pose in the center of the frame doesn't exactly match that. Had their position been more akin to a lying-on-the-ground pose, it would make more sense from a symbolic standpoint.

The use of (mostly) two colors is interesting. Yellow and pink is something that I don't usually see being used together, and their usage here creates a sort of.. candy-like vibe? That's how I'd describe the colors of the character in the centerfield of the frame. I'd say the colors serve as a good visualizer for the unique feel of Blood From The Concrete - and by extension the rest of the tracks from the April Fools album.

[being large is a mood]

Dis is some good shit. There's honestly not a whole lot I could realistically critcize about this; not saying its perfect, but I think any critiques I could make would be boiled down to small nitpicks rather than genuine criticism, if that make sense.

[Work Out]

A mutual of mine showed me this from your OG Twitter account months ago (I heard that account got suspended; RIP). And now that I have the opportunity to critique it, I can confidently say that this is yet another banger in a long list of banger artworks.

The highlight, unsurprisingly, is the soft shading and hard lighting; both succeed at giving Jayden's body (and his sweatpants, in particular) this illusion of looking almost photorealistic. And having that visual effect be constrasted with Jayden's cartoonish proportions, it makes for some real eyecandy.

The piece itself being monochrome will not affect my rating. But if this was in color, I imagine it'd look even more splendid that it already is.

[dolly vs. the world]

I really enjoy how bright and vivid this piece looks. And the composition's greatly improved since the "World Of Weirdos: Get Funked" artwork that I critiqued a while back; Dolly's in the center of the canvas and thus quickly gets the viewer's attention, meanwhile the colorful simplicity of the background - and the mini globe - provides some extra stuff for the viewer to look at.

Only thing I'd say is missing here is a little title screen of sorts placed above Dolly's head. But as it is now, this would make for one banger of a custom mobile wallpaper.

[TTYD Sprite Replication]

I don't know how you do it, but this is practically a 1-to-1 recreation of the modern Paper Mario artstyle, and the accuracy's incredible! (The soft shading, in particular, is on point.)

It leaves me curious as to what your other OCs could look like if they were given the Paper Mario treatment as well.

[eliza let her intrusive thoughts won]

The title's funny af.

The expressions? They're great; Baker Dan's shock has some meme potential, and the little red heart next to Eliza's face is a nice touch adding emphasis to the fact that she's experiencing some exceptional esctacy from eating all the food on the counter.

And speaking of Eliza, good LORD her size- Her fattened body's thicc in all the right places, and the belly shape especially is pretty well done, imo.

[my treat in beatings]

I'm loving the way the two of 'em stare at each other with contrasting expressions and poses. It's one of the few times where I'd say a simple background would complete the intensity of the scene here; something like flames or maybe those red action lines that indicate lots of tension.

[sibling rivalry in a wrong way]

Another pleasant surprise. I never thought you'd post vore on this account ever - I assumed it'd only be for mostly SFW stuff long ago.

That aside, I like this illustration. The highlight, for me, is the dialouge; it's simple, effective and really breathes some life into the drawing that it would otherwise lack.

And while this won't affect my rating, I do have a personal nitpick with the belly bulges. There's a tad too many, in my opinion, and I feel their placement is scattered about in a way that would inherently call into question the anatomy of Alice's sibling. But again, this is just a personal gripe of mine.
