[Moorish Idol mermaid]

This is a decent mermaid design; the unorthodox tail gives her a strong sithoullette, and the color scheme's efficiently simple to boot. Though I imagine some folks would be a tad weirded out by her cat-like pupils.

(happy belated birthday, btw)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! <3<3<3<3

[Bad Mildew drawings]

A day in the life of the funny Australian frog woman.

I could see doodles like these appearing as brief intermissions for a hypothetical webcomic series starring Mildew.

[ARF ARF!]

I'm certain I mention something akin to this in one of my previous reviews, but I cannot help but wonder how you take a bunch a different colors and put them together in a way that still feels charmingly cohesive.

As I write this, my mind's dredging up memories of those kaleidoscope toys I used to look through when I was a kid; I think of those toys as I look more closely at this drawing - it's like there's a hundred or so hidden "details" in the coloring that're easy to miss until you zoom in, and then your eyes start noticing all sorts of these tiny changes in the color's consistency.

It's beautiful.

DRAGONKITTYiPOD responds:

i love kaleidoscopes !! they're so much fun, thank you so much namu <3 your reviews are always highly appreciated and well written !!

[Happy Halloweenie]

It's crazy how much this looks like an actual photo of a pumpkin smoking a fat blunt; the blurriness of the art really sells that perception.

[webfishing with the gf]

This gives me Animal Crossing vibes and it's really cute.

"teach me the ways of your ability to cook amazing sonic art like this"

Gonna let my Sonic autism take the wheel: If I were to describe this art piece as if it were a rank in a Modern Sonic game, it would be an S+. It feels like looking at the type of Sonic fanart that SEGA would officially recongize and use as promotional material for Sonic X Shadow Generations - much like the previous piece I saw that included the funny two hedgehogs and Shadow in the same piece.

My favorite part about this art is the attention to detail in the colors between Classic and Modern Sonic; Classic Sonic' lighter hue and the "spray-paint-y" feel to the lighting of his clothes really emphasizes the "classic" in his name. Then with Modern Sonic, his colors are more saturated, and the left leg being almost colorless feels like a subtle nod to the shading of Sonic Riders' artstyle.

And while I didn't mention it in my previous review, I find it stunning that you're able to make Sonic eyecandy for *the* GamesCage. I've only recently heard of the guy, but that is incredible, nonetheless! Super eager to see more Sonic art in the future!! XD

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

[spooky's]

Never once played Spooky's, but I adore the game and it's Rogue's Gallery of unique and skrunkly creatures.

This art does a great job at showcasing a "greatest hits" of Spooky and her gang of ghouls. Not including all of the specimens currently in the game is a fair decision, for it'd be highly ambitious (or just tedious) to include *every* single one in a picture.

Nonetheless, art's good! Would no doubt make a slot in the daily rotation for featured art.

[vampiireee very spooky]

World's Shiniest Vampire (the shading and lighting makes it look like her skin's super reflective.)

I like that the only bright colors you can see come from the vampire herself; the background being almost completely dark is a neat visual touch to emphasize how vampires enjoy dwelling in the dark.

NoNthings responds:

thanks thanks 🙏 and yes she very shiny

[Art Trades 2]

Been sensing that your artstyle is gradually improving as of late, and I think it's best noticable in these recent art trades.

I forgot what program you use to draw (I think it was FlipaClip?), but your ability to make good still pieces and animations is very impressive!

[SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS]

The presentation of this piece is absolutely gorgeous; I'd want this to be an official Sonic wallpaper someday so people can have this masterpiece on their screens 24/7.
