[Odoru - OC of a friend of mine]

So Odoru has green skin, slit pupils, pointy ears & she can fly. Hmm...it would be interesting to see a real-life version of this. What is that strapped to her thigh...a revolver?

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

yo thanks, well i don't know it looks like those sci-fi space weapons or something, on the original image it looked something like that

[Left Behind]

Nice work. The composition seems a bit cockeyed for some reason...the moon is in a good spot, so I dunno why it feels that way. It's still good... The atmosphere of the piece is right on.

I can relate to this painting.

[[Commission] Kane]

That's pretty damn good. The bayonet on his rifle is a bit much & it's got a stubby magazine but if that's what the client wanted, so be it. Kane looks like he could kill a few xenomorphs without a problem.

[Stride]

Baby got thunder thighs... You like big thighs? There's something to be said for a woman who can pull a plow... But seriously, this is good. The red armor looks fine.

Recruta responds:

careful now, that's how the last guy went

[Scheduled Programming]

The evening news...that anchorman is a bit disturbing. If that's what you were going for, you nailed it.

[art trade - marble]

As I get headaches on a regular basis, this piece is relatable.

Coulda done a bit more with the background but overall, it's good.

[GO ARMY GO]

I like this one. How tall is it, exactly?

The legs on the rats are a bit long...as someone who kept pet rats as a kid, I can tell you that rats have shorter legs & are usually a bit fatter (when they're healthy). OTOH you don't want too much realism in a piece like this. F***ing excellent job on the insane-looking deer skull! Also the rats' fur has good texture.

What would really help here is better presentation. Hang up the drawing so it's straight, tape it down if you must, & take a decent picture with good lighting. Crop out the surroundings & this piece would look better.

...I could almost see this as a back tattoo, for the right person.

snotrat responds:

thanks for the advice! and yeah i noticed the legs were a bit off and now i notice why, as someone who likes drawing rats, thisll help alot. also its cool that you used to keep rats. i would like to keep them some day when im done with school. also the drawing is like around 4 feet tall maybe? idk. but thanks for the comment! unfortunatly its hard to get a decent picture cuz this is the only photo i had of it before it was sprayed with this stuff that makes it so that the charcoal doesnt wear away it made it look faded and a bit worse so id prefer to post this kinda bad photo of it when it was in its best condition

[Dead End]

It's eerie, which is good.

I assume those are zombies in the distance. Walking through a forest at night, probably lost, & arriving at a clearing where zombies are standing around would definitely be an "oh shit" moment.

artoast8p responds:

Your description is spot on! Thanks!

[SpongeJeff BezoPants]

That green one is genuinely disturbing... Good 3D modeling overall, I guess

[Purple Venom]

Not bad, not bad at all. This almost harks back to the McFarlane days...
