[astro vs bowling whit light]

Good job, clever composition, though I wouldn't recommend uploading two versions of the same image with only a small change to the lighting. In my mind it would need to be a fairly drastic difference to merit a separate upload. That aside you've done well - It's clear to me that you really challenged yourself with this piece, you're trying various advanced techniques which are really hard to get right, and while some areas aren't perfect, the ambition and care taken bring it to a level of which you should be proud. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing :)

Simply astounding. truly. Had I not already featured you i'd feature this piece! (though I have to be careful to give other people a turn) - Your painting quality/style is really great, smooth and visually appealing. You have a good grasp of your technique and know how to make your work stand out with it. Really well done, thanks for sharing, please keep it up!

[Friends or Foe illustration]

You've done well here, the colors are a little strong and the linework lacks solidity but overall the composition is interesting. This piece is decent, it effectively conveys what you are trying to go for, so good work. Thanks for sharing, keep it up!

[Devland Maldeana]

Nice image composition and style, though you left your color palette at the bottom there ;) The painting style you have going on here lacks solidity, the edges are somewhat unrefined, but inside and on the outer edges of the shapes/characters. Don't be afraid to have some hard edges and contrast where they're needed. Overall you've done well, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing :)

[The Wolverine]

Very impressive, I love your style. Great use of shape and image composition. Not only is the composition of this piece appropriate, it's also stunningly clever and well thought out! The eye is led exactly as you want it to be, and visual interest is strong throughout, with a good balance of perspective and detail. Overall, I'm impressed, great work and style, keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

You've done well! There is room for improvement but overall, your use of perspective, color and composition works well. Be wary when painting in your colors of using black - black is not a natural color. A shadow on or inside a yellow or blue object is not black, it is a darker shade of yellow or blue, and to paint black over top in many cases, is jarring to the natural feel of the colors. Other than that, good job, keep it up, and thanks for sharing :)

[Anchor + Octopus]

Great work, you're definitely improving! Keep it up! It's nice and clean, good use of color and symmetry, I look forward to seeing you continue to progress :)

[Super Saiyan Vegeta]

You've done fairly well here :) The painting style you have going on here lacks solidity, the edges are somewhat unrefined, but inside and on the outer edges of the shapes/characters. Don't be afraid to have some hard edges and contrast where they're needed Ignorant of lines). Overall you've done well, thanks for sharing, keep up the good work :)

[Creep]

... creepy... You've done well here but there's lack of use of the space overall. The linework is in need of improvement, nothing major, it just lacks solidity in areas and is a bit rough. Your piece holds its own fairly well in terms of its composition - the balance of where the viewerâEUTMs eye is drawn and how the piece is laid out is neat and compliments the image and style. Overall, you've done well but there's room for improvement, so just keep it up! Thanks for sharing :)
