[Mellow Poison]

Great Song

Love the pose, the expression, way you drew her back curved up like that. it all looks great. As usual!

.. The one thing that sort of bugs me, is the lipstick stamp in the background. It looks like it was blown up a little too big for what it was meant for, so it looks overly pixelated and distracts from the image.

BizarroJoe responds:

You were quite right with the lips... I first tried to draw my own, but it was taking me too much time. So I tried to soften a bitmap, but in the frenzy of the last minute, I sorta blinded myself and I didn't do a good job...

Thus, I've edited the image for great justice. I think it looks better now, but if it doesn't, don't hesitate in telling me!
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you for posting it!

Holy Dragons, Batman!

Astounding work - the picture is just RIFE with detail. I love it.
The white glowing eye of the dragon really magnetizes your eye to the center of the picture, too.

Don't ever stop!! <3

5/5 10/10

archir responds:

Anyway thanks again, i really appreciate it.

[Old Tears]

Please don't cry! Your wrinkles get harder to draw

Old people's skin is always a hoot to try and draw..
It's worse than trying to draw still-life fabrics!

You nailed it though - great work! C:
(as usual)

[Green Forest]

Abstract...

Well, it's abstract, and a little less detailed as the other background scenes you've done, but who am I to say it's not just as awesome! C:

Where the heck do you get your brushes?

[Gunda]

Good God, how do you DO it?!

I'm at a total loss for words over how great this looks.
I almost get the feeling that i'm ACTUALLY up high looking down into the canopy.

[Trees]

In Awe.

Maaaannn!!
Bright Blues, Golden Yellows, Dark Reds, even hot Pink!! D:

You only used green for a tiny little shrub to the bottom-right!! I coudln't imagine trying to mash all of those colours so nicely as you've done into a forest background.

My favourite part of your technique is that you use more monochromatic colours to portray distance. <3

Awesome job! Your backgrounds are the best of the best! C:

(adds you to list of fav artists)

[Freedom]

HAHAHA

That's classic, Mel.

"Oh there's a butt there. I better rate it 'M' so nobody gets offended!"

<did not 'get past that'>

lol Great work. I think the only reason I feel inclined to give this a 9 is the simplicity and lack of 'pop' from the wings blending a bit much. Other than that, it's great. :)

purefey responds:

apparently people think this is a useless review. Well I don't! And yeah I do notice that the background blends with the wings too much. :/

[Desert Man]

Honest to God --

When you showed me this, I was just kind of waiting for you to flip over to another picture and be like 'so THIS is what I drew of that guy!' I thought this was just an example you were showing me!

I hardly reacted to the pic because I couldn't even tell at first that you drew it!! lol
It's so out of your usual subject matter from what i've always seen.

So with that said, obviously I thought it was too good to be true. lol Great work.

purefey responds:

Thanks yooou! I sketched a lot of tiny creatures when I read this - I'm sure I have the paper somewhere. I love this comic because it has chars in it that I've never seen before or never thought of making up; for example, a creature had a plus sign on its nose, no arms, and it was called "bird" and sat on a swing. It's really cool!

[Little Red Riding Cutie]

B'AWWWW.

Something about eyes being as big as the character's torso is just so mind-bogglingly ADORRABLE. >xB

(first, bitches.)

[By The Dock]

WEEEEE <first>

BRUSH STAMPES EVERYWHURRRRR :V
I know it was probably intentional that she be tilted to the left slightly, but if I may be so humble, it may have looked a little less off-balance if she was standing straight up. C:

(just giving a good honest crit, seeing as I doubt you'll get many on here)

purefey responds:

Yeah, she was supposed to be leaning on her foot, but I could never get the legs right so I just cropped off the shot there. :3
