[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.

[Art Trades]

(I'll comment on each of these in order.)

1. Not gonna lie, when I first saw this one, I thought the tall shadowy character was a stylization of the Boiled One. I dig their sinister expression, although it's kinda they're looking away from the *local rat muncher* they're carrying.

2. I must say, Golden Sonic's stare is well drawn! Feels like one of the best general Sonic drawings you've made so far, in regards to recreating how he looks.

3. AHHHHH IT'S MY GAL SHUFFLE- *explodes in excitement.* The joy I feel seeing fanart of my silly vampire OC cannot be understated (lol, XD)

[Giant Hero Parade]

The size difference here is bonkers. I can only imagine what that lone construction worker is feeling as KF walks by them.

And speaking of KF, her presentation in this piece is really good. Having the aforementioned construction worker present for scaling is neat, but the skyscraper in the background *greatly* emphasizes just how large she is. Her expression's cute as well.

Blackonyx6 responds:

THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDEEEE!!! <3<3<3 I'm so glad that her size was emphasized well in this artwork!

[Spider-Chan redesign!]

Cute idea to reinterpret the Spider Jockey combination as a lovey-dovey relationship between Spooder and Skelly. Spooder's design fits the tsundere parts of her personality, in my opinion.

The web-skirt, red hair beads and camoflauge-like appearance of the dress' torso is visually appealing.

Blackonyx6 responds:

Thank you so muchhhh!!! <3<3<3

[Kaiju Fighter!]

A kaiju OC? And one that fights other kaiju? I like where the premise of this character is going.

I find it funny that she's listed as a human in this picture. I imagine that robotic tail is a prosthetic issued by whoever tells her to throw hands with other kaiju; probably to make her look less jarring to spectators or civilians - assuming she's either a) A contestant for a corrupt kaiju wrestling gig, or b) A supersized superhero set out to save her town from a constant barrage of berserk creatures.

Blackonyx6 responds:

Thank you so much!! <3<3

Yes!! Though, the prostetic tail has the main purpose of giving her more stability and also to aid her in combat. Also, yes, she's option b)! She helps her town to fend off incoming kaijus, which will also have characterization and roles themselves! Think of them as being more in line with Godzilla kaijus, rather than just random berserk monsters ravaging the city only to be killed at the end of the day.

[I heard you like a bit of Mildew]

That title doesn't lie at all.

Really lovin' Mildew's pose in this piece. It's simple but effective in showcasing a portion of her personality that I'd say is a tad overshadowed by her iconic grumpy stare and aggressive attitude. The way she looks away from the camera while lightly sticking her tongue out adds to this as well, not to mention her casual grasp of the well-drawn guitar.

I also like how the signature has the same as the pink grass(?) that Mildew's sitting on; gives it some subtlety while still being visible.

[Double-Yuu!]

Ooo, so it's not just Icelen who's receiving a bit of a glow up! Just now noticing the shape of their conjoined tails resembles a W, which if that's meant to be a nod to the "omega w" symbol in their eyes, is some neatly subtle attention to detail.

Out of all the demon gals in your gallery currently, Double-Yuu is my favorite - mostly from my bias towards characters that incorporate themes of duality; that's a soft spot of mine in character design. :>

Blackonyx6 responds:

For the time being, i have only these two done! In the future i should glow up Symmon too!

Honestly, the tail thing was an accident, but now that you mentioned it, i can't unsee the "w" shape xD

However, while the detail on the tail wasn't intentional, the asymmetry of the horns was! Not sure if you noticed it, but their horns actually form the letter "W"! (Aswell as their name, "Double-Yuu").

And thank you so much!!! I honestly think that characters that incorporate duality in their design are really underrated!

[Icelen!]

Nice to see a reference sheet of sorts for one of the funny demon gals! Was not expecting her to be *that* tall, tho- she makes most of my OCs look like tiny skrunklies at that height.

I like the simple design of the scythe. The pentagram on it could almost be a strange "eye" that'd occasionally blinks here and there. The added balance scale is a nice touch as well. I wonder if the two wisps on each scale is some powerful soul or a portion of Icelen's magic that's on stand-by.

The "cannot refuse food" part has me assuming one of two things: Either Icelen is perpetually hungry, or her social awkwardness beckons her to accept any food offering that she happens to get.

Blackonyx6 responds:

SKDJSKD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Yes!! She is actually one of the tallest of the demon girls!

The pentagram is actually a rotating part of the scythe! The scythe itself can open to reveal two extra blades, and basically form a windmill of death!

The small "wisps" on her tail are part of her magic! These are actually cold fire, they act pretty much like normal fire, however, instead of burning things down it freezes instead.

It's a combination of both! sjdskdjnbhsjkdn, she's both just a really hungry lady and she simply doesn't want to waste food, and she's also too anxious to refuse.

[How it FEELS to listen to Nyan Cat 10 hours HD 1080p]

Love how smooth this looping animation is! The thin white outlines help a lot in making Nyan Cat stand out to the human eye, especially from a distance.

(I'm giving bonus points for the LazyPurple reference in the title; very based, as one would say.)

[Car on the da carr]

Coming back from not doing reviews super frequently to say that one glance was all it took for me to think "this must be front-paged ASAP."

Where do I even begin with analyzing what makes this picture so darn visually appealing? I suppose I could start with the noticeable changes in the perspective.

The perspective does an excellent job at presenting the stylish cat woman and beautifully illustrated gold car; even the background frame of the sky and the sets of text beside it on either side* looks titled, creating this illusion that there's a flat image of the sky itself behind the car - or maybe the car's emerging from a rectangular portal into a white void?

The cat woman herself looks stunning as well. The foreshortening helps maintain what the perspective's trying to do, and her pose is pretty good as well; the red flash inbetween her legs serves as a nice touch of flair that reminds me of an unused animation for Girlfriend in Friday Night Funkin'.

The casual gamer-esque outfit this cat gal wears also serves as a somewhat comedic juxtaposition for the fancy gold car that any billionaire would kill to own; the Call Of Duty shirt and its many wrinkles, the un-tied shoes and apparent lack of pants would make the average viewer question in their mind just how this woman was able to aquire such an expensive-looking automobile. (Also, I'm giving bonus points for her having freckles; makes her skin look like vanilla bean ice cream and adds some extra detail for the eyes to observe at. And the alcohol bottle off to the side of the car's hood is a neat touch as well.)

And lastly, before I forget to mention this, the sky in the background is utterly gorgeous. Having read the description of this piece, it must've taken an ungodly amount of hours to draw that and everything else in this picture.

*(Genius idea to use the text on the left side of the background as a watermark!)
