[Thinking Thoughts]

I like the use of color here.

Can't help but wonder what Rodin would say about this...

KingCrowned responds:

Who

[T Rex]

Diggin' some of the textures in the piece, particularly the palm leaves in the lower right corner.

This reminds me of the sci-fi "lost world" movies from the 1940's & early 50's.

SourCherryJack responds:

Thanks, working at this scale really allows a lot more opportunity to use more texture, and get more visual interest from those textures

What the hell happened to the streetcleaner fembot?...at least, I assume it's a fembot, if those are implants & not body armor...

But seriously, this is good. The composition is perhaps a little bit too even in the other 3rds (by width) but it works. Great colors, they set the mood effectively. We know the robot is in trouble. Nice job.

snotrat responds:

thank you for the input on composition, it is something i struggle with. streetcleaner is not canonically a fembot in the ultrakill universe but i headcannon her as such :)

[Bad Luck]

Props to Genevieve for staying calm & cool. I wonder how many of us would be that levelheaded if facing a Lovecraftian horror-monster such as this one...

[Arizona]

Very retro, as others have already described... The composition looks slightly unbalanced but in this case maybe it works, given the panicked horse. All in all, great job.

[Mia Lounging, watercolour]

This almost makes me feel bad for flattening that inch-long roach a couple nights ago...

[Looking Up]

It's very good but yes, you are overthinking color values. I can barely tell the difference...am getting the impression you're going more by the RGB numbers instead of by how it looks onscreen.

widemouthink responds:

I don't really follow the color values of the program itself. I tend to check both on my monitor and phone screen to make sure colors are showing up how they're supposed to. More often than not, I keep finding some oddities that I feel need fixing.

Though lately, it's felt like I'm the only one who notices these kind of things. Whether it's a monitor thing or a pet peeve of mine. I'm gonna have to learn to simply ignore it.

[FUNNY VALVE GAMES]

"Jesse, we need to atomize."

[Portrait study]

It could use a little work, particularly the nose & the folds in her shirt around the shoulder. But overall it ain't bad.

Though we don't know each other, I would like to ask you a favor. Namely this: as you do pixel art, would you not drop your oil painting, please? There aren't that many of us working in traditional media anymore. If enough of us did, maybe oils/acrylics/watercolor/etc. would get the attention they deserve.

adameck responds:

Thanks for the feedback! And don't worry, I don't plan to drop my tradicional art, specially the oil painting as I love it very much

[Peppino Spaghetti]

Have you ever heard of Lupo the Butcher?...
