[Battle of Bones and Bolts]

Looks like that droid is getting an advantage, sneaking up on her like that! Visually, it's great, though the intensity of battle doesn't really shine through, there is a notion of speed in her stride, and yet it feels like they're frozen in a motion somehow. I guess the blur on her left hand should really break that illusion but... there's just something very ambient about it, despite the stance, the brewing intent, the color of action. Looks good though! Nice contrast of colors; vivid background work.

Thank you so much! And I understand what you mean about the intensity not shining through. I've been trying to work on that, even asking people what I can do but it's just something everyone seems to be stuck on. It's something everyone can see wrong but don't really know how to fix. I've tried adding blur in other places but it only sees to make it look weird.

But thank you so much on your comments and critique, if you can think of anything I can fix to improve it, please don't hesitate to let me know! :D

A mixture of so many mythical beasts! :D Angelic, demonic, bird-like, turtle-like, with attire that seems partially fetched from some ancient civilization and partially from the future. Interesting character!

Thanks; I'm glad you think so!

[Dust Warrior]

I really like the shifts of color in this, and the splatter-like shattered image of the main character... wonder how this is made? Looks almost like real paint for the character? Is it digital? Is that a special brush maybe? Either way, it's a really cool effect, and a bright background texture that fits well.

Glad you like it! I have your answer in two versions: a short one, and a long one.
The short one is: I applied multiple random effects on the original work (check out "Steel Tower") with an app called "PicsArt" on my mobile.
The long version is:
As I was drawing the shield that was supposed to be a fist only first but somehow that kept ending up looking really, really retarded so I decided to draw a shield to cover up my failure etc. ahem anyway I was drawing but because I kept failing big time I decided to take a break (a break that is still valid btw. And I made this about... 2 months ago? =_=). During that break, I was semi-upset with my sketch because it wasn't finished so I impulsively tried to fancy it up a little bit with an app on my mobile I've downloaded a very long time ago but rarely/never used, PicsArt. I uploaded my drawing, went to effect, "shit happened", which includes throwing in sun flares like it's a MLG montage (notice the glowing eyes), and BAM, this was the result.

So yeah, there you have it xD -elf-

['20 years of creatures!']

Ah, Butzboprud style animated loops for pretty much all the most well-known NG characters! :D A great idea; an entertaining array of figures in action too, could look at this for quite some time. Nice work!

[A portrait of mine]

The red and blue lighting on his hair makes me imagine he's standing at a crime scene, police sirens playing in the background. Love the line-work, and the surrounding energy in particular, combined with expression it's just... he's just come to a realization of some sort. But maybe it is just that: energy! Power! Either way, it's a real effectual portrait. Nice work!

ChyBro responds:

THanks :D

[Ash + Fire = Logic]

Gets me thinking of the recent world record, a cube solved in five seconds! Feels like this fiery portrait captures that speed as well, but I like the metaphor. Nice color; close-up angle, looks good!

[Varro]

Real nice portrait! It's got those lifelike eyes too, and s sketchy sense of realism in the facial features. Edges do feel a bit rushed though, and the background stands out as very... gray. Keep it going!
