[Corridor 2]

Excellent pixel art and animation, couldn't even tell it was pixel art at first from the small thumbnail

[Eirawen]

This is a really nice artwork! I'd say the only thing that sticks out to me is that Eirawen's hair blends in too much with the background; the back lighting on the hair isn't bright enough to make her silhouette distinct enough. The dark color and shading of her hair also makes it difficult to see the line art on it.

KEKIIRO responds:

Thank you. ^^

I'll def make sure to watch the lighting a bit better and try to keep the linework more clear.

[Out to Lunch]

An excellent and very appealing drawing, everything about it really brings to mind the illustrations from old children's books.

[Gazing Forward]

Excellent illustration, really like the pose, the color choices, and your coloring style. It really reminds me of those beach/ocean illustrations for the startup screens of some Kingdom Hearts games.

Slimygoo responds:

I def had the kingdom hearts title screen on the mind when I made this hehe

[Rot]

Very nice illustration, really like the color choices here. The values chosen for the highlights in the character's hair and dress help a lot in drawing attention towards her.

KEKIIRO responds:

AA TY. I think I could have pushed the values more to be honest now that I'm looking it over again, but I'm glad what's here worked.

Yeah, Disgaea! Series has a lot of great character designs.

[the kirblers]

The 3D models look very nice, it's like a blend between the era of PS1 and N64 models. I guess the only thing that bugs me is that Kirby looks a little too magenta; it took me a little bit to recognize where he was in the scene render since his color makes him a bit hard to stand out in terms of grayscale values.

[Have you Seen This Man?]

Really like the hatching here, thank you for the gift drawing!

[I'll go wherever you go]

Excellent illustration, colors and rendering seem to be on point for the most part. The only thing that bugs me a little is the position of the character. If they're meant to be the point of interest that contrasts the sunset in the background based off the rule of thirds, then it feels like they're a bit too close to the right edge of the illustration.

MicroBihon responds:

ooh a valid criticism, that not what I see everyday, thank you! ^^
Yea the guy is a bit zoomed out. Im prolly not aware because I was tryin to do something (can you see a hidden character on the illustration? wink wink). Not to mention I did this with an intent to be a thumbnail for an Osu map (the songs doesnt have art afaik) so I prolly kinda failed to scale the image hahaha.

What bugs me too is the placement of the title. Awkwardly sandwiched between two clouds lmao. My Marketing self would have scolded myself if I saw that lmao. Ill try to fix that lmao

the image before this also had a mistake if you can spot it lmao ;)

[No. 137 - Porygon]

I really like the minimalism in this illustration, and I think the shape design of Porygon naturally lends well to what you're aiming for with this.
