[Inktober XII: The Face in the Dark [2K24]]

If I was into this kinda thing, I would ask permission to have this tattooed on me somewhere. Could've made the face slightly larger...not taking up most of the picture plane. A _tiny_ increase would do it. But it definitely works.

[Inktober XVIII: POV of an Intruder [2K24]]

I like the result too...hitting the fave button feels kinda risky, however.

Excellent pose & use of colors. They fit the theme, for sure.

CobaltRogueX responds:

Thanks! Personally this is in my top five Inktober pieces so far this year.

[PATREON pls!]

A few thoughts:

- "angel investors", eh? Hmm...it's getting toward the end of the month. I'll have to see how November will play out.
- re tutorials: It sounds like patrons will learn how to draw/paint things in Zilu style. That sounds great but in my case there's one problem: I don't work digitally. :-( In today's ocean of creativity, I'm one of the few trilobites left.
- it's "break the bank". Sorry but yeah...I'm a language trad guy.
- Are you sure you want to do a draw-over of my work? Stop & think about this... But seriously, I could do a rough pencil sketch, scan it in, submit it (e-mail it to you?) & you could use it for whatever group thing you set up next week or month. Just an idea.

Zilu7 responds:

Well here are my thoughts.

- I had a very different idea of how I wanted to publish my Patreon for the first time. This wasnt it. But when things got tough, I decided to take the plunge and publish it anyways even if I havent figured out all the details yet. But I do have a plan to get those details figured out and published by early Dec. The Angel Investor lets anyone who wants to jump in early to do so.

- Well, yeah I admit it will mostly be digital. But I am traditionally trained and a lot of the techniques I use can be translated to physical mediums. You're not a trilobite. I know many people that work only physically and many still that work both ways including myself! I don't claim to know the best techniques either mind you. I just figure if people wanted to see how I did things they could.

- I mean draw overs would be for only anyone that wants it. :3 I would probably do this for less experienced artists that might need help with anatomy or character design or just design in general.

its like almost 3 am over here so forgive me if I took some of these too literally.

[Doodle of my OC needs some refinement]

How about "the Watcher"?

Derplxon responds:

little late for that now, but I'm always up for more name suggestions tho.

[The Being: existed before everything began.]

I like the concept... How about developing The Being a bit more? Maybe refine the outer body, add some shading, etc.

Also, you gotta up the brightness & contrast. But overall, it's good.

Derplxon responds:

well i haven't drawn for a while till recently, I'm just practicing for now, but thx for the tips much love.

[Inktober XVI: Portrait of a Melting Man [2K24]]

This one could also be entitled "Wojak's Cousin"...

[Mortal Kombat - Skarlet's Sitzfleisch]

Until now I thought I was the only Newgrounder who knew that word! This made my morning, truly.

She's got sitzfleisch, alright... Nice upper back muscles, too.

[Akon]

Very cool. I'm never seen anything Spearcavern, but the change of pace alone makes this good even if you didn't give it any character, which you did. Until now I thought I was the only one on NG uploading sculpture of any kind.

It would look better with a glaze, yes. Keep going with this, eh?

[Crimson Wish]

Great contrast here, as well as use of negative space.

You must be a Boris Vallejo fan...some of your work slightly reminds me of his.

RodneyAmirebrahimi responds:

Boris Vallejo work differently inspired me at some point and glad you like the piece

[Sahra]

Quite a piece, & the model is lovely too.

Are you lucky enough to know this girl?

RodneyAmirebrahimi responds:

Thank you and yes
she's a Persian model, I have tagged her on my Instagram post.
