[The Sky's Exploding With Thunder And Fireworks]

Damn man the New Year's barely here and you have an album ready already! :O Cover doesn't look bad either, abstract dimensions are always a challenge but seems like you managed those pretty well, I just get a bit bugged by that blue swirly thing really not looking like a firework. ;) Maybe less linear shapes would work better? Dotted lines and debris more than solid forms? The others look cool but also more like explosions and lightning. I feel fireworks usually consist of a mass of particles. Smaller stuff. Lots of dots, short lines, stuff like that.

Overall though: pretty cool. Sitting alone on the roof though, with two burgers... seems like a sad premise. Break up? Is it supposed to mean more? He's easily overshadowed by that blazing sky...

Yeah man, it was supposed to be for the 4th of july so I had a lot of the songs done for the past several months, so it didn't take too long to finish up in time for New Years (eve)

the things that look like lightning ARE lightning, that's why it's exploding with THUNDER and fireworks :p

as for the shape of the fireworks, I used this image as reference https://ip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/fireworks-1170x878.png (which now that I'm looking at it again I think it's a painting???) so that's why the one has solid straight lines lol, I was actually more satisfied with that one than the red one, so it's interesting that you point that one out specifically, though I guess thinking back to the times when I did watch fireworks, they were mostly usually spheres of particles. Gotta have some variety though!

and yeah, the sitting alone on a roof is very much based in reality, although I didn't sit alone on the roof, I did sit alone on the 4th of july, and it was raining but people were still shooting off fireworks. The two burgers were just 'cause I ate two burgers lol. Really it's just supposed to be a representation of how I was feeling in that moment, not really brought on by anything, just generally being depressed and my dumb brain making me isolate myself from others because that's what it does.

shit this just made me realize I forgot to add some stuff to the description, dammit I had so long to prepare for this and I still manage to fuck stuff up!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Looking smooth! Wonder if it'll last all the way through the decade too... become that iconic icon.

Happy New Year Snackers.

Ooh that bike! And the foxy lady on it too, of course. Neon Genesis Evangelion/Akira vibes here heavy. Looking good.

[Commission : SinatsuFoxtrot]

Another good one! Interesting roughness with the style too, inking and all. Seems like a potential DBZ character too hmm... nice design.

[Mugen]

Hell yeah Samurai Champloo's the shizzle! :D Nujabes music too. It's such an odd hybrid, feudal Japan, hiphop, all good things merge. Wouldn't mind some Fuu fanart up in here too, there's surprisingly little. Good stuff.

[Mini Boss]

A tentacle wolf hmm? Getting into some pretty interesting designs! Nice work.
