[Sugar]

thats why i never trust vegans, lol!

ah, once again, you've created a visual masterpiece, ren!
bravo!

the clock's ''faces''+eye/face expressions were great, their bodies/objects were nicely drawn as well, the linework was nice, and the colours were vivid.
but what is more impressive, is/are the (many) small details in this comic.

i noticed, that, as renegade clock made fun of leek's ''hippie coffee'', leek's ''hair'' (or leaves) got darker, dirtier and more withered, if i may say that.
the same thing happened with leek's clock, which got a darker ''eye'' expression, and a more detailed, darker appearance as well. (in the clock-eye's general design).

things got even worse for leek's appearance as he approached his ''pantry''.
you've managed to portray the insanity+darkness of an evil person into a clock's appearance. impressive!

apart from this obviously nice progression between ''peaceful'' and ''absolutely evil'', i liked the design+the appearance of the other clocks as well:
the friendly, and cheerful renegade clock (who wore an adorable xmas/winter hat), the brave bb10, who is incorrectly shown as dead (since all clocks are immortal), the surprising (yet beautiful) cameo of bluestone clock (whose stone-body and hair are drawn with incredible details, great work!), and the brave vuvuzella clock, who stood silent in all this horror. (but was nicely drawn as well).

every single character in this comic was drawn perfectly in this.
you are a great artist, ren, and i love the humour in your comics.
its always an honour to appear in your comics, even if my main OC plays the role of a corpse, lol!
still: its a great comic, full of many cool details, and with a great design.
the linework, the character's expressions, each part is flawlessly drawn into perfection.

you should make more CC comics, if you want, you have mad skills!
keep up the great work!

RenegadeClock responds:

tl;dr Thanks BB!

[Metal Gear Owen]

wow! what an excellent story, what an excellent idea, and what a cool way to reshape this idea, into a cool MGS parody!
i loved your flash movie, i liked this idea (it was funny), and its needless to say, that i love this poster as well...

great linework, the portraits of the characters are great and very similar to the MGS artwork style... also, i love that you've drawn both the main hero with the night-vision goggles, AND the smaller, more detailed drawings of solid owen and liquid owen, because you've drawn them PERFECTLY, and they really look like owen wilson...
great details, great job on the face expression of the actor, and its a really funny thing to behold.
also, its cool as heck.

what can i say?
its a great drawing, with great poses, great linework and great face designs+face expressions of owen wilson.
also its a great idea, an idea that poked fun at some wild rumours about owen wilson starring in action movies in the 00's... hahaha.

perfect work. 10/10.
keep it up!

CatFat responds:

Thanks for the review!

So P O S I T I V E! :D

[When You're Not Feelin' the Bern Anymore]

excellent drawing, flawless work on his face expression, in his wrinkles, and on his eyes/face, while i also like the clever pun about the big political dilemma that existed in the people's minds during that time...

good work, nicely drawn, and with a clever thought in it...
keep it up!

Narmak responds:

Thank you so much!

[Don't do drugs, kids.]

lolz! excellent joke about hank's mental/physical condition...
he certainly isnt looking well...

good work, and a funny use of the traditional madness drawings of hank.
keep up the good work.

kirxee responds:

Thanks mate

[Nature vs Nurture]

absolutely stunning drawing!

the details, such as the human bodies/the anatomy/their poses/their faces+their skin texture, are amazing.
everything in this drawing is so realistic, that you could say that this is a recoloured photo, with new, more cheerful/lively colours drawn on top of it.
its that good!

i like how the young man ''nurture''(?), hugs the seemingly distant lady, which is ''ms nature''.
(i assume that the man is nurture, due to the family taking care of the child, shown in his crown, on the top of his head, while the woman has roses, and a pair of DNA double helix elements on top of her head, thus, making her ''the power of nature'', in this analogy.

their pose, and their embrace looks beautiful, and VERY natural/realistic, thus making this a beautiful picture, with a very strong message inside.

i guess, when it comes to the human nature (on our personality), its mostly nature+a (smaller) part of nurture that does the work.
i guess we have alot of things to learn, but still: people are a mystery, and they always are worth exploring.

overall, this is a GREAT, realistic+beautiful painting, and i would love to see more pics like this from you in the future... you are a very good artist, so keep up the good work!

PS: last but not least, i have to say it: the young couple's faces, vaguely remind me of ''king tommen'' and of ''queen daenerys'', from G.O.T. (a popular TV fantasy series).
its a beautiful (even if slight) resemblance, and i like it alot!

zephyo responds:

Thank you for the great message! Your assumptions on their identity are correct :)

[dark souls 3 dragon form]

i wont lie to you; you draw impressive/fearsome/charming dragons.

ofcourse, this dragon is torched/damaged/malnourished, and it's meant to represent the general decay that reigns in the D.S universe....
but still, i would love to see a ''strong'', well-formed, solid dragon drawn by you.(or even a dragoness)
it would be awesome!

(also, would you consider drawing a DS1 dragon? it would be great as well!)

now, once again, this is a great drawing, and i like the dragon's glowing eyes, its muscular/famished anatomy+its interesting pose, its glowing/flamy hands+body, and the excellent shading/lighting effects, along with the realistic texture and the vivid colours.

its truly an awesome drawing!

you are very good, keep up the good work!!!

themefinland responds:

Thanks mate! I do in fact probably have what you are looking for in my deviantart gallery:
http://themefinland.deviantart.com/gallery/
I haven't uploaded everything here on newgrounds so you may find some new things there! You know, now that you mention it, I think I may just draw the dark souls 1 dragon form once again sometime soon!

[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!

[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.

[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
