[Metal Gear Girls #4: TX-55 and D]

Real quick, I enjoy the composition and colours, but the flatness of the girls' faces is really bothering me. Like, their features are really pushed back like an old cartoon character that got flattened from a fall. The lighting enforces that, too. Not sure if style or oversight. Also, the watermark at the bottom intrudes too much in a strangely small, but obnoxious way. Besides that, fun piece.

Thanks for the feedback!

Look, it's cute and all, but this is not Art Portal material. It's a sketch. A doodle. When you're uploading these, don't check the "not a sketch" box.

[Zone-tan]

Just a note on the figure. She clearly has her boobies popping out over the top of her outfit, but you show the sweater puppies way down there as well. This is either an error or she has massive sagging grandma titties. Besides that, her bottom half doesn't have as much detail/finish as the top half and her hands are quite masculine. That aside, the overall piece is pretty and I like the colours used.

AntonOxenuk responds:

Thank you very much for the feedback :) I'll try harder next time!

[.a....i Relaxing]

Damn, the way you drew the hair is magnificent. Really sharp overall, and the colour is relaxing to look at. The background is good, too, except are the cracks from an image you found? They look pretty low resolution. As for the person, you ought to start doing figure drawing and learning how to draw bodies. It'd help out immensely.

DARKRYAN responds:

Glad you like the hair and background. The cracks are just a texture brush that "Manga Studio" has. Though I definitely agree that the textures for the cracks could've been better. (Probably should've just created my own textures for them. XD.) And yeah. Definitely have a way to go on anatomy. I've got my own style down pretty well, but it'd definitely be interesting to see how learning proper anatomy would affect my art. Arigatou for your comment. :3.

[Gekko Strut]

Yay, motion tweening. It's faithfully drawn with lots of nice detail and has smooth motion, but to those of us who are into animation, the digital shortcut stands out like a sore thumb.

[Newgrounds Holiday Skin 2015]

Wonderful job, Mr. Harry. I love how you drew all these classic characters in your own style. Excellently arranged together, too. Cheers

[Punk Princess v2.0]

Bold new flavour

This is the kind of art style that I appreciate and couldn't dare to try and fail at. Really bold lighting and shading with pop art-like colours and pizazz. "Interesting" subject matter, sure, but this oozes style and I dig it. Good figure, too, though the hand with the phone looks a little janky. Regardless, very well done.

[Eskimo Bob Arcade]

Most excellent

Damn, I hadn't even caught whiff of that Kickstarter (hence unsuccessful). I don't know why they need $8,000 to make a 10-minute cartoon, but whatever.

Anyway, this looks really neat-o. Very good job capturing the 16-bit (or 32?) look. Everything is simple and works well. The lives heads could have been a bit bigger, though, cos it looks like you need to search for them. Nice job on Bob's highlights while firing the fish. Alfonso could have used some dramatic lighting/shading akin to Dragon Ball Z during his super saiyan form there. Also a smoke effect from the ground where the laser hits. That's all I can think of. Good job and long live Eskimo Bob.

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I've should've polish it a bit of what you metioned before I upload this art.
