[The Fallen]

Amazing work...!! I love everything about this piece; the balance, dynamic lighting, pose, character design, the sense of tension.. It all turned out awesome.

Consider yourself followed! :)

Syringes responds:

Yay \^u^/

Thank you! I am very happy with such positive feedback. :*D

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS UNTIL YOU'RE THIRTY, RACHEL >:V

pwneropwnage responds:

YOU DRAW NAKED PEOPLE ALL THE TIME WHY CAN'T I SOMEWHAT PRACTICE!? >:O

[the totem queen]

Are you familiar with the work of MissMonster? Reminds me a lot of the stuff she does. She's my fav. c:

Either way, kudos to having the patience to draw this with a mouse! ...Must have line-tooled the shit out of this! :P

Peglay responds:

oh yes, the wolf head was inspired by her, shes one of my favorite artists
hope she doesn't mind i borrowed her style :)

[Gastales - Pokefusion]

Preeeeety nifty! Nice work.
I don't remember ghastly having bright orange in its sprite, though - was that just some extra creative licensing? :P

pwneropwnage responds:

Nope. It was just shown in the fusion.

[Pichu]

Too cute! ... Poor lil' guy... </3

I really like the minimalism here. The lines are super neat, too!

Something that strikes me as a little off are his/her feet. He/She seems to be floating in space, when the composition suggests that he/she might be standing on solid ground, stretching up to offer the little heart to his/her crush. Maybe standing on his/her tippy-toes might work better? That way you could add in a little shadow and balance out the bottom of the image. Right now it looks slightly tilted or off-balance. Could just be me, though!! xD Just trying to offer some constructive insights.

Keep up the great work!
(p.s. I love your piplup submission, too!!) <3

GumDisease responds:

Thank you very much for the review! I really look up to your work, especially your Pokemon art. I'll definitely add something to convey standing on solid ground more. :D

Also thanks for loving Piplup :D that was my first real attempt at color and solid line work. I know I'm not the best at color theory so I try to get my lines as clean as possible.

[Golduck]

Haha that's so awesome.
Love your minimalistic style here -- and how consistent you are from Pokemon to Pokemon...! You have SO MANY finished now! o_o

Just out of curiosity, are you using these for a bigger project or something? Like... for buttons, or a collage?

I think the only thing that strikes me as slightly off is golduck's centre-most hand. Could use a dark outline to add a bit of definition. The way my monitor's showing the colours right now, his arm seems to blend right into his body -- but that could just be my shitty monitor.

Keep it up!

Gerkinman responds:

Thank you, the style is an experiment, I want to see how far I can strip back the original character designs while still keeping them recognisable. Im up to 101 on my tumblr ha ha.

I dont know what I will do with these when they are done, other people have suggested badges as well but I got tired of cons around 5 years ago. Ill not doubt make some kind of poster with all of them tho.

I think your right about his hand, sometimes what I see on my cintiq isn't what I see on my laptop or on other peoples screens, can be frustrating.

Thanks for the feedback :)
