[Bowser + Peach: The Revelation]

Lmao, this is great.

Somebody below me stated that Toad's face is unexplainable...I do believe you are incorrect my good sir. The proper term for such an expression would be "Holy f*cking god no."

[Wasteland]

Engrossing

Still one of my favorites...period. Checking back over all your other pieces thus far this one still fits into what I have been thinking of as your own little world. Heavily Sci-Fi-ish the amount of structure in this piece is outstanding as are the tiny details that one finds the more one stares.

Anywho lets start with the left hand side. That open doorway. Nice glow effect first off but more then anything I really really enjoy the shadowing effect that you used below the doorway itself. Looking at it I am unable to tell that it was done by human hands. I'm quite serious. Out of this entire piece that one area baffles and amazes me the most. Move up now into the winder and notice the people(?) in there having, perhaps a party. To the right of that you have a sun, slightly oval-looking it is never-the-less very well done. Same with the lighting effects on the water and land. Just off the center and down a little bit to the right there is another house that if it was not there would really diminish this piece I believe.

Gah I could go on and on with this one and use the rest of this 3000 remaining characters and still find myself with more to say. So lets end it with...

10/10
5/5
Great job once again,

The Scarf

First off great use of the color red here. Secondly great idea giving the scarf a little life. Takes what would otherwise be a somewhat dull scene into something that has a little life. +1 point certainly. The vines hanging off the pillars are well done though I see a couple that look like you might have been pulling off the classic -suspicious whistle- act. They look fine enough though. The contrast from light to dark in this piece really gives it some depth and places in ones mind the wonder of what might be through that opening or that one. You modeled the stairs quite well which surprised me, those are more often left somewhat unfinished in my view. Ah and look water..almost didn't notice xD

[Snow Cave]

Roar o.o

Snow and rocks. Yes that is fairly easy ;). The lighting itself though fairly simple conveys enough that I believe being more dramatic may not have been the way to go, after all it is a bunch of white against a mostly dark grounding. My excuse is light is bouncing off the snow making the shadows less deep...-lalala- haha anywho..

As for this one it was done quickly that is obvious but I really enjoy the looseness of your strokes. Something I would not be able to do you have accomplished seemingly with little effort involved.

Great job, perhaps a follow-up to this one would be in order?
9/10 For the quick yet accurate and loose strokes.
5/5 Because well..I tend to round up most days :)

[Kurosawa Tribute]

Its alive!

Life. Each of your pieces seems to breath just a little. They take on a life completely their own and every time I see another one I hear a voice in my head giving me a summary of what led up to the events seen in the picture itself. This specific one speaks for itself. Yet I wonder why you do not combine this world that you have created into one massive series, each image depicting yet another part of the tale...bah but what do I know. I'm not exactly the ambitious type though jealous I am getting closer and closer to becoming lol.

Great job. Even done quickly this ones heart is still beating.
10/10 5/5.
Hope to see more

[Miku 2]

Hmm

Easily one of your best.

Btw nice job on the face...it shows decent emotion.

[Awaiting]

Just checking around..

You, my good sir(?) have some real skill. It is a very fluid technique that one doesn't see too often. Fluid and natural yet controlled. I'm guessing you do your pieces a bit larger and shrink them down a bit once you post them up here. But looking at I feel it is incomplete, almost like something is just there, just off the canvas. It is a fantastic piece, and far better then what I am able to do outside of pencil and pen. But with the incomplete feeling I feel 9/10 is in order here.

Lol, I'm just ranting, bit tired. I'll do a more comprehensive review on some of your other pieces another time. Very well done nonetheless. Very well indeed.

[Star Wars Funnies: Chewie]

I gotta say...

The lightsaber above Choo's head is what got me, great job :D

[Evil Clown]

Not bad

Huh, great job overall, almost too much for the eye to see. But what I really liked was the upside-down pentagram. I don't know if you knew what you were doing or just did it for the kicks but I'm surprised that it was placed on there properly for misfortune.

Good job o.o

Stabbed @ Turkey

Taking the messy comment into account here.

Yes I'm a noob, bite me :3.

The person below me says that this is somehow stolen. I don't think so. Every artist has their own style and their own little signature in any art (and I'm not talking about a persons name either). For all of you thinking that this is somehow not doomion then listen carefully and open your eyes a little more.

First off not every picture has to have these incredibly fine lines or near perfect ratio-to-ratio difference between one eye to ear or ear to nose or hand to face, WHATEVER you want to nitpick on. Sometimes any artist just wants to sit down and draw, in this case he happened upon flicking about with his own self-portrait and did so in a very small amount of time judging by the lines. Even so...

A couple things that solidify my fact that this is indeed [yours]. The most noticale for me are, of course, the eyes. Out of everything this picture has those two eyes stand out the brightest (persay). Even in a sloppy piece such as this those are neat and hold some emotion in the face they are set on. I'll say this right now that doing proper eyes for the face is not easy, and in this case a couple different emotions are showing through. But I wont' go into that.

The shirt itself is actually fairly well-done with some detail placed in around the shading and most specifically the buttons. They are actually done in such a way as to seem as if they are portruding slightly from the shirt. That I really like and am surprised that you managed it while moving at such a quick pace. Cropping this one is smart as I think had you went out with the shoulders they look like they could've been a bit messed up, but again you had a mirror and you draw what you see. As usual nice attention with the hair, coming down over the left side (looking at picture) ear and deeping the ear slightly as the hair overlaped it. The part I don't understand is the right side. Bit if a bad hair day I suppose?

Haha, well either way this is nicely done. Some good detail for the speed drawn (neck actually stands out nicely, decent hatching and cross-hatching done here and there...though I suppose that could barely be called either). The shirt, especially the collar, really stands out with its precision and sharpness, just like the eyes. Decent job on the face shape needing only some minor touchups.

Add a bowtie and we have a perfectly fine young gentleman standing amongst us lol.

-Tony-

No flaws that stand up and shout "I'M HERE! CAN YOU SEE ME?!", which is quite something considering you did this 'Need for Speed' style. Though I still think had you completed the shoulders that they might have looked a bit odd hehe.

But don't mind me, its not like I'm a professional or anything and I'm likely wrong on all accounts D:.

Doomion responds:

LOL, that's a lot of text. Though, I still read it all. Thanks for the extended review there. :)
