Gerkinman responds:

Really? lol

I dont see it :(

[Thrillher single artwork]

everything everyone has said so far, i disagree with...i get the futuristic mohawk, that's a popular style with punk girls even today....makes this character look more like a badass soldier-type.

the ear, i get it: it's an implant.

the robo-arm does look a little stumpy, like it is missing some vital mechanics to emulate a good upper and forearm. upper back seems to be missing lats, or maybe trapez and teres.

i have no problem with the exaggerated legs, the armor straps really hold them together well.

overall, I really like this one, awesome colors and killer design. but I think a closer emulation of muscle structure would have made this a very strong piece. as is, seems a little cheap....well, maybe not "cheap" but underwhelming....no, damnit. i dont' want to seem offensive or rude, like i'm talking out of my butt....damnit.

it just.....ah! yeah, looks kind of unbalanced. closer attention to and inclusion of more defined muscle structure would have done the trick...just in my opinion, could be only my preference. you have your own style and it's wonderful.

[Hail to the King]

Everything Duke Nukem Forever should have been, but wasn't.

[The Goon Pixel art (Tryout)]

holy smokes, the goon! dude, this looks more like a camera picture of your TV screen, awesome colors! and everything else!

[MY FRIENDS ...]

games are so relaxing right? hahaha

RockBullet responds:

Ye Ye Thanks hahahaha

[Yarz'uk - The Fish race]

haha, adorable. nice variety too!

[The Frankenstein Monster]

good stuff, i like the grainy quality, like on a canvas. a very interesting portrait, reflects the inner kindness and sincerity of Frankenstein while retaining the actor himself. Wonderful colors, great depth. I love it!

sfzapgun responds:

Thank you. The colors are remarkable. The blending and mixing tools in Corel are top-notch.

[Dota 2 Invoker: Simple]

this one is really cool because of how much it suggests, rather than lays out. Somehow, the colors pull apart I think....and the shape maybe is not as pleasing this way. Reminds me of maybe a Final Fantasy box-cover/title screen.
Due to the simplicity, it's really very different from the other two, which are equally different. I really like the softy edges, and strong shadows, very mysterious!

[Dota 2 Invoker: Chrome]

I guess the darker something is, the more is left to the brain to fill in. GTA IV is a good example of that, and it makes everything look a little more interesting somehow. The hard, faded blues work great here. I get a good sense of lighting, and feel like the character is at his most powerful magic here.

However, after looking at the neck I kinda did notice that it seems sorta funky. Like that inner collar stretches it out, could be thisL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCller-Lyer_illusion

Still, for colors I think I like this one best. For shape, definitely the colored version.
