[Lackadaisy Cat]

This looks rather cute and very cartoonish at the same time, nice.

I like how the background just seems to be one simple shade of gray and nothing else. Helps add and keep focus on the cat itself.

The cat itself seems to be happy for whatever reason and staring off into the wide open space. Really like how looking at its face the strokes make it seem like realistic fur rather than a flat single color character with with no texture to their skin/fur.

The whiskers and stripes are also nice. One thing I'm not understanding here is why are there light gray stripe colors that seem to come off the character and go into the background? Is that also part of the drawing style?

The eyes seem nice and simple with the eyes seeming to look like a pie chart with a single green shade to me. Then the hat itself seems simple as well with it looking like it goes all around the head rather than just being a layered on hat.

Overall, very nicely done humanoid cat drawing.

Thank you, the gray strokes coming off of the cat were meant to originally look almost like a smudged ink drawing, but I messed it up, and I couldn't undo it. Thank you for the review, very much appreciated.

[Long Lived The King]

Well this certainly looks rather weird to me since the dinosaur's body outside of the legs seems to repeat itself a lot. Then you have a lot of little dinosaurs going around the left side of the image which kind of makes me think of stencils for those as well. The signature in teh corner is rather nice though.

Background is simply white so I take it that there wasn't really anything meant to be added there.

The shading on the dinosaur seems rather good actually giving that feeling that light is hitting it from the side or at an angle. One thing that doesn't make much sense to me is that shredded egg looking thing beside the dinosaur with red and white in it. Is that supposed to be a baby dinosaur getting ready to come out?

The red and black tail is also rather different. I guess that was partial doodling idea or maybe the dinosaur is a hybrid of a normal tyrannosaurus rex.

Then you seem to have some red lines in the top right, not really sure what that is meant to be for.

Overall, rather weird looking t-rex drawing.

[stocking pixel art]

Really just enjoy how she seems to have a careless posture as if she was ready for something to happen but otherwise she does not care at all. Very nicely done yet average looking pose. If this was downsized maybe, I could see it being used in a game. As it looks, I could see this being used during a cutscene.

The coloring and all is just perfected. Hair seems a bit off to me though since if I remember correctly in the anime there almost always seems to be lines of shading for her pink hair too. Shading on the face seems correct too seeing as she has some hair over it, maybe blocking the sun from her eyes a bit.

The the outfit looks great as well although I have a feeling the skirt part of the dress should be a little bigger. The stockings and shoes are good too.

Overall, awesome pixel art of Stocking.

[gilda flipping the bird]

This is well done and kind of funny at the same time. Funny in that Gilda is part bird and using her talons to flip something or somepony off. Not really surprising though since she seems to get angered rather easily anyways if someone is doing something she considers uncool.

Really like the shading on the wings, makes me think she just landed somewhere or got perched on a cloud or something to rest for a moment and chill out. Then the rest of her body is just as well done. Only thing I think could be different is on her left leg, there should be just a little bit of shading where the leg and body meet so it looks like the leg is further away.

Facial expression seems to be average in that she seems to have no problem taunting others for the fun of it and sometimes just being mean to them too.Like how the beak seems a little longer too. Then her talons look just right.

Overall, great drawing of Gilda, seems to fit what she would be doing on a daily basis to most people or ponies.

[Sanity Not Included Bloodlines]

Well this is one drawing that questions sanity anyways since the ending was rather a twist since their mom appears to be flat chested all their father had giant man boobs for irony.

Comic is rather funny and seeing the end however makes you wonder on your own sanity a bit about Nina. Wondering if she is a guy dressing up as a girl because they have huge man boobs or just a girl who inherited the giant breast size from her father in her genes.

Still completely funny though since the ending is a rather huge twists on things.

Overall, makes you wonder about Nina quite a bit.

[Ink Dragon]

I find this to be a completely interesting piece and the background only seems to make this even better. Could make an awesome wall scroll to put up on a wall I think.

The border looks nice and seems to have been done later after the dragon as to try causing as little interference as possible since I don't see much in the way of the dragon and border possibly blending which is wonderful to see here.

The dragon itself seems rather intricate and the tails and face have a lot of detailed lines added to give them more life. The wings have some which gives a feeling of the wings being flexible and sturdy and not flimsy.

Overall, incredibly awesome piece of work!

Thank you! :)

A wall scroll eh? Awesome!! :D

Thank you for the review!

[Mr Potato - Painting]

This is a very interesting piece. The potato seems to have a life of its own but from above the kid simply sees it as a tree above ground.That and the potato kid seems to be staring out as if they felt something or someone was watching them just walk along.

The sky looked very detailed as does the dirt while the dirt strangely gives a feel of light shining down there with darkness in the corner near the signatures. The way the potato seems to be huddled gives the weird idea that it could pop out of the ground at any moment and just run somewhere leaving a huge hole in the ground for anyone to fall in.

The grass and tree like top of the potato creature also look rather nice too.

Overall, just a very interesting drawing.

[Quote and Curly]

Well the male character seems to remind me of Ash Ketchum quite a bit actually. His attire though hides neck and the face makes me think he might just be a little nonchalant on what happens with his friend too. The character seems to be a bit of a redneck stereotype looking android as well making him kind of cool I think.

The female character seems to look like she a happy go lucky sort and just enjoys having fun and being with her friend too. She looks like someone even humans would be able to get along with as well making it all the better.

Overall, I have to say they both look perfect as they are. Excellent work!

[Nami]

Well this was a pretty good effort but one thing that kind of throws me off is the eyes. Looks kind of like they aren't looking forward like one was looking in one direction while the other is looking forward more.

Smudges seem to hurt this one quite a bit. Another thing is it looks a lot like she might be missing a neck since her shoulders seem to go up a little higher than they should be able to.

The skirt and torso look rather cute and well done though so nice work there on those. Her arms seem to be pretty accurate as well. The hair and top piece also look most well done and awesome too.

Overall, smudges and a lack of a neck seem to throw it off a bit for me.

Thank you SCTE3 for your review

[Falling Girl]

Leaving it all behind

Seems as if she was leaving it all behind. Almost as if she had fallen meaning all her friends had eventually left her all alone and she had nowhere to go. She took all her time and soon discovered new ideas and when they came back she left them behind as she rose to the top or she felt that way and the background visualizes her rising above it all. Very wonderful drawing.

The background is nice to look at too. Feels slightly like it was a mirror showing both sides and yet the stars cancel that idea out showing she is simply floating above the atmosphere and just being able to feel happy for herself and her accomplishments so far in life. I like how the bottom area shows light which makes me think she is leaving the atmosphere and the colors are wonderful too and the stars just make you feel good.

The swirls under her kind of make you think she is spinning as she keeps going up higher and higher. Very nice.

The girl seems like she is slightly sad that no one is no longer around as she ascends to the heavens and her hair looks great though. Her face seems to be expressing a bit of curiousness as she keeps on going higher. Then her clothes look nice as well. The loose looking shirt looks like it will keep her warm and the blue jeans also have a loose look to them too. The shoes look to be more simple.

Overall, I just feel she is rising above everything as she tries to better herself. Nice drawing.

Huzzah my friend! You've won the golden ticket! There's a couple hidden meanings of this, but they're all really just slightly different ways of saying the same thing. Although, I'd say your the best so far at explaining this. Even better than I am really. haha Great job! And thanks for the review! :'D
