[FHTAGN CTHOOLHUO]

That's a pretty unique and creative take on what Cthulhu would look like! If i were to describe it, it makes me think of a sapient, moving termite mound of cosmic maleficence, inhabited by an ecosystem of writhing, worm-like entrails and organisms that unite within the slumbering, hungering high priest of abominations beyond mortal conception.

Really interesting wings too, and good lighting and shading!

TheSketchySide responds:

Oh Thanks, I'm also planning on doing my own versions of the other lovecraft gods too. (also been working alot on their lore and placement in Denesa's world too)

For my version of the old ones I really want them to look eldritch and completely alien to us mortals. (was never a big fan how Cthulhu is so often portrayed just as a guy with dragon wings and an octopus head tbh)

[Kings of the border]

Interesting style and situation here. Makes me curious as to what's going on. Part of me thinks that this lab-coat wearing bespectacled man uses special chemicals within his cigarettes to call upon and direct the grey, seemingly strong and athletic creature,

DLynch0 responds:

Apart from being addicted, the cigarette does have a use, it is a curious detail because the subject created an exclusive drug for himself because he is the only living being that does not find it poisonous, but with the creature behind him he does not need it. It is a manipulated thinking being, of still unknown origin.

[Concept of enemies]

I carry a great liking for this. Your style seems fun and solid, having a balance between cool and yet kind of cute. Mainly so with three of the skeleton enemies, but for me the big grub counts for that as well. I like the braids on that one.
- First skeleton is simply cool with a style that seems somewhere between later medieval guard, and a gladiator.
- Second skeleton looks like an armored minotaur, but with a *really* awesome helmet and the interesting design of having arms the length of an orangutan's.
- Third skeleton looks solid.
- Absolutely love those layered skulls for the warlock. Neat crown and cloak, and cute scroll for that one.

- The swamp inhabitants have an aestethic that makes me think of Mesoamericna influences, mainly Aztecs. First one has a cool helmet and weapon inspired by the spear version of the macuahuitl. Stands out especially because the helmet has herbivorous teeth.
- Already mentioned the grub and there's not much else i can mention. I like the patterns and the braids, and the three-part mouth is interesting.
- Snake lady's goofy face and dual throwing dart quivers stand out the most to me. I like that.
- The mage variant here has a very interesting mask! Don't think i've ever seen anything quite like it. Interesting that there seem to be mushrooms growing on him, too... I can imagine those being an ingredient for certain spells or potions or something.

Wish you a lot of good luck and fun on your game project!

MyNameDeVoid responds:

You have written me so many things that make me feel good, thank you very much! o//v//o

[Skeledirge (2022)]

Haven't kept up with Pokémon, but finding out there's a flaming skeleton-themed crocodile Pokémon through a cool and solid piece of art is sweet stuff! Good work, I shall go inspect your Yokai, Peppino and Rottytops pieces now.

CyklopArt responds:

I'm glad you liked this fire croc. Skeledirge is also based on singers and is always seen with this fire bird.

[Grave Robber]

Fup yeah, those clouds/fog look fantastic to contrast against the sharpness of the bonehead here. I know it's desecration, but this man looks lovable.
I'm curious why he does what he does, and what else there may be to him. Your style here's really appealing.

Triibot responds:

Thank you. I might flesh out the character more in the future.

[Nani (OC)]

Both the character design and the background are very pleasant. Fun hair, nice returning theme of the tropical flowers-- very fupping clean overall.
Makes me curious what kind of resort she might be working for, and what other plant and tree characters could spring forth from your hand.

Bumpadump responds:

thank you for the compliments! I might make more tree charcaters soon :)

[Good Morning]

Soft, sweet, generally looking incredibly pleasant. I want to both
1: learn those skills and
B: live in this image.

Let's hope the captain there won't take a wrong turn and go down with his ship. These be treacherous rapids, they be.

Lundsfryd responds:

Thanks! I appreciate your comment :)

[Epithet Erased]

This must have taken a fuppin' incredible amount of time. Awesome softness on the hair and coats, general lighting and shading, the sparkle in Molly's eyes, and cool effects for the font at the bottom too.

Beautiful piece.

VoiDdraig responds:

Thanks You so much for appreciating My work!

[Don't let bro drive]

The way you shade is really fupping cool. Want to try that for myself now.
Saw jumpbreak96 repost your art on Twitter and checked out your art there too, and I find your art really striking yet with hardly anyone reacting to it. Hope you get more feedback/reactions in the future from other neat folks.

Having traffic signs for people is an unusual and fun inspiration source and character basis. Big fan of that. A kind of creativity that makes me half expect you to make stuff like dragons made of a plug extension box, with a blender for the head, clothing irons for hind feet, and an electric mixer for a tail, with a portable generator as its 'heart" wrapped to the "body" with other wires.

In essence: You do cool art, I like the creativity, wish you a lot of fun and good luck going forward. And preferably not into a traffic light.

Or lamppost.

M3ta6 responds:

thank you so much! I never got a comment like this before! means alot!

[A.B.A gif]

A very cute piece of A.B.A and Paracelsus. Humble and sweet animation, with good effort on the dissipation of the heart especially.

SrAguacate responds:

Thx :3
