[Tick Bite]

Ah, this style reminds me a bit of Skullgirls! I love it. I adore the patterns/designs on her skin, and your ridiculously smooth line work.

I have to agree with Wabbla though, her underskirt is the same color as the background so it makes it rather hard to differentiate them. I would suggest lightening or darkening the color of the underskirt so it doesn't look like her arm is chopped off. Also her right hand appears to have a bit of white between the thumb and the fingers--nothing huge but seeing as everything else colored white is very deliberate, I think it would help to fix that.

Triggershock responds:

Thanks!

There are a few mistakes here and there, such as the white inside the hand because it was a little rushed and bringing files from school to home and vice versa makes me forget what I should fix (maybe I should write notes on the side...).
And again, with the skirt, I can't do anything about it because the layers are merged because I'm a dumb butt and I'm kicking myself for doing that.

[Squirtle Squirt]

I think I have a weakness for Pokemon with big manly eyebrows. So hawt. Great job on the muscles and the turtle suit lololo.

This is a little nitpicky, your friends' pose/throwing hand in relation to the Pokeball bugs me a little, but the Pokeballs do kind of magically suspend themselves in air and I myself am incredibly incompetent at capturing motion anyway, so this drawing is incredibly awesome regardless!

thdark responds:

Yeah, I sort of drew the hand as if it kept going after throwing, which made sense in my mind.
But if that doesn't come across and it looks wrong, gives me something work on in the future.

[Sandman]

Fantastic usage of style and color here. The negative space thanks to the void of white complements your palette very well. I adore the little triangle of blue in the bottom left, I think that works -so- well in bringing this image together.

I find the sand to be distracting, though. It looks as if you started to draw it normally, then took the smudge tool and wiggled it around until there were no traces of your linework left. I find your lines to be quite lovely, and wish that they continued into the sand, instead of turning into a weird sand-colored blob.

Sidenote, I would like to read The Sandman at some point, heard so many good things.

Xentarim responds:

Ah. You got me there. My original intent was to have the sand in a similar style to the rest of the Sandman. Unfortunately, it just refused to stay in the format, refusing to look natural unless I stopped constraining it with the lines. It's a learning process, to be sure. I'll get it right one day, and maybe then I will revisit this with whatever newfound skills I would have then =)

In any case, I'm glad lad you liked it.

On a side note, you really should read The Sandman. Not all of Gaiman's works agree with me, but I find Sandman to be one of his best, and it is really very, very good.
