[The Nativity of Pac-Baby]

There is something deeply perverse in how wholesome this seems to be.
I appreciate the chalky pastel look, and the looming shadows.
Thank you for making this.

DonaldLPatten responds:

The sense of perversion is from the perspective of the Ghost Tetrarchy. The four experience anger, sadness, dread, and disdain as they watch from afar the birth of Pac-Baby. Knowing it’ll become a powerful enemy with the ability to consume power pellets, to subsequently consume them. The conflict between them and the “Paclings” is ever tipping in favor of Pac-Man and his family, and they know it.

[Sakaki]

A consummate depiction of Pride.
Sakaki, or Giovanni as I knew him, always had an interesting aspect to him, which he was only one town over from pallet town, but you had to go through a whole journey to make him show up.
I feel like that built him up in a cool way, because even though most of his team in red and blue was normal type they all where beastly strong, and that is great because having played through the game you understand how much effort Sakaki had to have put in, and even if he himself is a "normal" man with a team of "normal" Pokemon, his strength is self made, which is wonderful characterization.
I love the pose you chose, and the detailing on the chair, showing it's craftsmenship, it is an excellent frame for Sakaki, and complimented well by the the judgemental Persian.
Thank you for making this.

[la loona]

Yeah that last episode really delivered.
I like how dynamic the pose you chose is, and has a real hidden weight in it.
I n the top piece, with the speed lines, I like that you did with the outline, but I think it would have pushed it a little further if you had outlined with a lighter color and used that to show the layer of the arms over tail and arm, to give a better sense of depth.
I appreciate you showing both versions, it gives a nice sense of intent and process.
Thank you for making this.

[Cuties]

A small piece of sincerity here.
The piece has a cool and dream like quality, and makes me think of this song;

You played well with the casting of light, and the bed spread's archaic space motif really works as a diegetic framing.
Thank you for making this.

[Mallory]

Hmm, nicely done.
Look through your work, and this piece in particular, your pieces have a really great sense of depth.
The shadowing and the scaling really makes the foward hand, the cloth and hair pop in a very keen way, and gives it an almost pop up book.
The pallets is also deceptively simple, cause you seem to have a good sense of how to hide the ebb and flow of light and shadow quite smoothly.
I will say the hand in the fore ground seeming smaller than hand in the back ground did catch my notice but the fore hand is in a pose that naturally makes it look smaller.
In any case, for your fine work I would like to reccomend this awesome anime puppet artist;

Kaweii responds:

Thank you so much for all the compliments!
It means so much, I'm glad to know which part you really like in my art!
It gives me more confidence on it! ♥
And thank you for the video of that artist aswell, I saw their stuff around, it's always super impresive! :D

[The Hollow Knight]

How wicked.
Usually gold or orange accents are used create a sense of light, warmth, or even divinity.
Hollownite certainly, in it's gameplay, contrast that orange with staunch darkness and blues of a poor pallor, but I feel your pallet pushed the corruption further.
It is a sickly empowerment, and pervasive damnation that hues the orange in this piece, and the perfect vessel can hardly restrain it.
Thank you for making this.

[gassdfavzxc]

I have a feeling mad mom is gonna be a fad mom.
I enjoy the use of water color style, and the great poise of the model, but the combo breaker bidoof is god tier.
Thank you for making this.

[sdfdvc]

Oh very stylish.
It is interesting that you use the negative space in her hair as her speech bubble, that is adorable and clever.
I also think the use of blue and yellow as motif in her fashion helps to complement her great white mane and contrast her skin tone.
Thank you for making this.

[Complex?]

"A Web?more like My Bed"
Excellent nonsense, please keep it up.
Thank you for making this.
