[NekoMika~]

nice drawing!

you have improved, my friend, now your drawings are even more awesome+sexy than usual!
nice pose, nice body anatomy, and a playfull look on her face.
she looks cool.

keep drawing pretty neko-girls, man!

SileNt-Sam responds:

thanks man! ;D

[The Middle Finger]

very nice drawing, with an epic face expression, and a funny situation going on.
i like the shading/lighting effects on this, as well as the really detailed suit/body/face of the woman.

her pose is very natural, and her armour looks great, with nice details.
also the hologram chart with the ''finger'' was really nicely drawn, cool work!

you're good, do more!

[A day at the Darkmoon Faire]

ooooh, nice!

they seem like a cool and cheerfull company of heroes/warriors!

i like the strong orcess, the awesome+sexy shrickta with the wicked smile, and seeing mr. hanavi looks...charming.
quite charming.

good drawing, my friend!

[Comic 12 Smiley Smile]

hahahaha! very funny, i love shrickta's crazed smiling expressions, they are funny.
also yes, in a way, the huge undead warrior IS smiling, since his/her mouth is half-destroyed and we can see half of his/her teeth.

good comic, do more, they are funny!

[Underbed]

woah! a nice and clever idea for an enviroment...
the underbed....
thankfully i never ventured too deep into my underbed, and when i did, i found all my lost items; socks, magazines, pencils....
if i went any deeper, perhaps i could end up the realm of lost memories and faded echoes....

good work!
the house looks atmospheric and eerie, yet in some way, slightly cosy and familiar.
the (dark) evening sky with the clouds, and the huge, barren wasteland around the house, with the combination of the creepy house, and of the (strangely) too bright red mailbox, all add up to create a powerful image, an image of fear and creepiness, fear that sometimes gets combined with a feeling of safety.(thanks to the house, that looks quite cosy).

great work, i love this drawing as well.

Vilehead responds:

Now guess what? This is practicaly a screenshot. Yup. Its not artwork. As a player - you see this from ingame. Just in Fisheye-distorted perspective. And its animated. Clouds move, fog slowly crawls around the house. Eyes are blinking in the Dark windows.
A painting - that became alive.

BTW: If you take a look at the sky you will see the bottom of the bed through the clouds. The wooden planks.

[Temple of Zdz'Bek]

wow, a dark, and menacing image in here!
this seems like a really dark realm, only a castle of a dark cult would be built in here....
the story seems interesting, and the topic of an abandoned crypt seems really cool.

i like the ominous red-lighting shown from within the temple/crypt, and the addition of the creepy, almost-dead trees complete the image into a scary enviroment.

neat!

Vilehead responds:

Actually the trees are part of the Temple. I was heavily inspired by Tomasz Bagiński old movie "The Cathedral". If you don't know it - you HAVE TO see it. Here, I order you to watch it! >:O

[T.A.R. Network]

i would like to have a T.A.R. system in here as well...
if we had those, we could travel easily and safely(?) to almost everywhere!
ahhh... if only.

good work once again, clever area/idea, and the drawing of the water+the ripples that the water makes at the bottom, with the combination of the red cave/blue light lighting effects that are present in the area, create a nice, peacefull image.

i like this area alot.

good work, once again!

Vilehead responds:

Well that's the catch. If you enter the Network and you are looking for the exit... that's what you'll get. The "Looking for". You will never leave. The trick is to "think" about your destination. And the tunnels will adjust. This place basically gives you what you want. But you have to "know what do you want". Otherwise you'll die in here. There are also a lot of mean creatures who lives here. Especially the Stickerarms. Oh those are nasty.

[Kalops Village Entrence]

i would like to help those kalops, their village looks beautiful and their story seems sad.
also the idea of having a suicidal king for a huge nation of warriors, is quite clever.
this will be a good quest/area to explore in the game.

the scenery looks nice BTW.
good colours and nice setting.
good work!

Vilehead responds:

Well their kingdom was very advanced and well build, but the never war that lasted for centuries destroyed most of it. Its a huge concrete jungle, where vegetation are slowing breaching in. Eskalion sends you here to find a way to change the King's heart. But who said it has to be the current king...? :3

[Dirac Sea]

oh!
of all the locations in the antumbra 2, this has to be my favorite. this, and marrow forest.
this is a magnificent endless sea of stars and water, and i love the part where ''every star is a huge universe'' because it all adds up into a huge, massive-universe-within-a-universe...
which is quite cool and exciting to observe.

yet, the part where ''legion comes to learn the name of the dark half'', quite troubles me.
if this realm/the sea is the home of the ''evergiver'' (aka the good god), then why would the legion learn the name of the evil half in here?!

either way, this is a strong image, and a good depiction of an endless sea of stars and grandeur.
nice works

Vilehead responds:

Not really. Eskalion is the true lord and ruler of Sorma'Ksul. He had lost this position due to his Dark Half raise to power. Evergiver is a totally different being. He is the God above Gods. The Archsmith and Creator.

[Cemetery of Dreams]

wow, unfulfilled dreams...
this is a place that connects with real-life...
and it must be a bland and vast enviroment....
full of resigned wishes....

good work man, it has cool dark vibes in it, and the ''blue'' wall of tears is a nice touch to such place, good stuff.

Vilehead responds:

Many of Real Life and Real World references to be expected from this place :)
