[Antithesis]

wow... this is a very AWESOME, detailed, and beautiful drawing!
its so dark, and so mysterious... i like how you cleverly use nice shading/lighting effects, and that the creature is tall, impressive, and scary, with nicely drawn scales, strange horns on its head, 3 eyes (two on its face, closed, and 1 large on the top of its head, open), many fingers, and with glowing runic signs on its body.

also, despite the creature's fearsome appearance, its pose/gesture, indicate the nature of a calm, reasonable intellectuall, a wise creature that is here to teach things, to enlighten people, and not to destroy them.

hence the matching title, ''antithesis''. (the opposite(s)).
wisdom and stoicism, in one creepy package.

i like how it holds its hand in a V shape/gesture, and it thus makes the ''enlightment'' movement, in order to teach everything to the viewer/ to the narrator.

also, the story is great as well: i loved all the details, and the nice/atmospheric narrative.

overall, you did a GREAT work, please do more stuff like this, keep it up... you rock!

themefinland responds:

Thanks a lot for the very in depth comment man! It was very nice to read that, and hear your interpretations on this, which were pretty much spot on. Worry not however, as I will keep on drawing and you will most likely see stuff like this in the future :)

[Clockémon Go]

wow, this is VERY impressive!
great work, man!

i like that you've drawn everyone's character as a clock-pokemon-combination: so, topcatyo looks like a pikachu, flounderman looks like a fishy pokemon, phantomcat looks like a haunter, soup looks like the pokeball-shaped voltorb creature, and strawberry clock, is shaped like the onix rock-pokemon...

indeed, its impressive, VERY creative, and visually pleasing, as a result.
i wonder, what pokemon would BB10 be, if he was pokemon-combined?

nice linework, good drawings of all the characters, clever use of clocks as pokemons and of rob-clock as ash, good shading, and vivid colours.
once again, you have created a great tribute for the clockcrew, and i am really touched by your dedication to the CC.

keep up the great work, and remain awesome!
you rock!
(happy clockday!)

Luwano responds:

Flounderman is Magikarp and I considered Magnemite for BB10. I worked to slow to add another row (3 more characters) of Pokémon / Clock crossovers though. Sorry.

Thanks a lot for your review and the kind words. Happy Clock Day!

[NEW BORN]

dear BREAD, thats scary as hell...

i like the details on its soulless eyes, i like the shine on its black pupils/the empty holes for a nose(or the lack of a nose), i like the (extremely) long+scary mouth with the pointy teeth, and i like the overall ''wet'', and slimy look on the monsters skin/face/claws.

it has a very nice face expression (haunting), and both the creature's pose/skin texture/shining/lighting+shading effects, its grotesque anatomy and its pose are perfect.
you've even drawn it with some (strange) white hair on its head! nice touch!

you have incredible art skills, and im impressed (and scared) by your great drawing.
ignore whoever tells you that you art ''isnt good''. IT IS GOOD.
you are one of the masters of the horror.
you should draw H.P. lovecrafts characters one day in the near future...
it would be nice.

anyways, keep up the good work!

[Force Quit]

awesome drawing!

i like the robots (final) face expression, its so disturbing and scary...
i also like the fact that this image is changing colours, between blue/red and grey... clever detail!
(is this a .GIF pic? also, how can i do that to my drawings as well?)

the robot has a cool pose, some really nicely designed arms/body/hands/circuits and a creepy face, while the gun+the words written on the robot are also nice details as well.

my only question about this, is: WHO is batty, and whats the backstory in this drawing?
oh, and the swastika means that he's an evil robot, right?

really nice drawing, you did a great job as always, sir.
your robotic drawings are spectacular.

deathink responds:

Thanks a real lot Chris.
Yeah, this is a .gif animation.
As for batty, batty is the main antagonist in "Blade Runner". He is a synth. If you haven't ever seen it, definitely do.

[Alaska]

nice landscape...
i like the snowy surface of the ground, and the detailed drawings of: the (snowy) trees, the distant mountains, the small cottage in the middle of the pic, and the curious moose that appears from the viewer's left side.

all in all, its a nicely drawn pic, with excellent brushwork, good use of few colours, and with good shading/lighting effects.

keep up the good work!

[Most Cliche scene ever]

it might sound cliche as well, but dude...
this would indeed look awesome as a horror pixel game! its awesome!

i like the creaking door's animation of the small cabinet (the door that is moving in the cabinet), the blood dripping animation is excellent, the rain-drop animation from the window is also excellent, and the gory details on your character's death are very cool and nicely designed... (the (still) beating heart in his right hand, the severed left hand, the broken neck/the blood dripping from his mouth, the exposed ribcage, and the moving guts, to name a few things...)

your great pixel-work reminds me of the old (scary) game of ''horror house'', where the protagonsit shot undead people ina dungeon. messy stuff, bad stuff.

anyways, you did a GREAT drawing/GIF, and you should find a programmer to collaborate with, because you have good skills!

keep up the good work.

[Bikini Contest]

i won't lie, your character has a nice bikini body!! XD

nice drawing, all of the characters look awesome, and the black-beard guy has a HUGE censor-bar, which hides his equally huge manhood..(lol)

also the white-beard guy looks OK.

whats the story behind the drawing?
who are those characters? (except from your character)

nice pixel-work, good drawing.

DiamondEclipse responds:

Story is when i was betting with friend at the bar that i can drink 5 gallons of beer and i lost, so i had to wear a bikini for 24 hours
Characters, The black beard is actually my friend who plays TF2, he plays alot of engineer
White beard... That is not a beard, but a mask, procedure mask and again, this is medic from TF2.... Too bad he got a sunburn slap on the kidney by engineer, you see that he has a metal hand, yes he slapped him with it
About me... Well, i am just a puff of smoke who can shape shift.... What? It's not like you wanted boobs or something without making it look awkward
In the background is just ED-E (Eyebot) from Fallout and a shark

[Tide]

uhh, i dont get the joke in this, but both characters are visually interesting, detailed, and nicely drawn.
good mini-comic.

[Tavern Night]

beautiful pic; i like how there is contrast between the large, rugged, strong, muscular guy, and the beautiful, elegand, slender (nicely shaped), and clever lady!

their face expressions are perfect...
i like how each one is ''reading'' each others mind (just like westwarren32 correctly stated below), and i like how they are waiting for the other person to make ''the first move''.

its a nice drawing, filled with many details, an interesting couple and alot of sexiness in the air.
the girl is amazing, and i love her beautiful face, her nicely shaped body, and her (awesome) cleavage.

great work, you should do more stuff like this.
keep up the great work!

[Protossed]

wow, this is a very beautiful, elegant and sexy design of a protoss girl, i really like how you've combined mechanical elements with more ''fleshy'', human-shaped gel features...
i love her pose, i like her face(?) expression(?), i like her body anatomy, and all of the good linework/the awesome colouring in this pic.

great work, keep it up!
