HERE TO BRING PAIN...apple!

[Nefelder Nymph]

Now that's a grub I'd let crawl around in my oatmeal!

Quirky comments aside, I wish I had some actual critique for you, but every time I look at one of your monsters, I realize real quick that I don't have anything that I could possibly add to the conversation. You've got a solid imagination, and most of your color choices are superb. At least in my opinion. I also quite enjoy the lore and worldbuilding that you've been giving to your creatures. So I guess all I can say is keep doing what you're doing.

And if I'm not mistaken, you've been scouted! I'm quite happy for you. Hopefully, you'll start to see more comments other than mine popping up around these parts.

Take care of yourself and stay safe.

Azpher-Omega responds:

Aaah thank you!! Thats so nice ^o^ Well whenever you have something to say I usually like critiques and questions, and if you ever want to see more worldbuilding my discord has most of my WIP documents! And I hope so too, I love comments like these :]

[Agony]

Yeah, I'd be in agony too, if I had a tongue that looks like a god dang daikon! Wouldn't even be able to go to an ice cream shack without being harshly judged! And making out? Forget it. "Sorry, baby... I thought I could love you for you, but your tongue is just too big, gross, and hardy for me to deal with! In the end, I guess I just wanted someone normal. But don't worry, I bet the next person you meet will be able to love you." Who's the real monster in that scenario? All you wanted was acceptance, but all you got was a harsh reminder of human conformity. People are jerks! Who needs 'em!? Forget about 'em! You just get out there and be your best self! I believe in you, you daikon tongued freak of nature!

[BIO-KILLER HOPPER PAGES 19-22]

So far, so good! Those last set of pages left me a little worried that you were about to jump the gun and show too much of your hand. It’d be no fun if you cut to the chase with so little build up. But things seem to be escalating at a pretty steady pace. Good job.

JoJoFlynn responds:

Haha no worries, I wouldn't wanna cut to the fun stuff just yet! We're slowly but surely getting there.
Thanks a lot man!

[Oomukade]

Absolutely fantastic! I cannot find a single flaw with this, so I must give it a perfect score! I think this is your best piece yet!

Again, amazing work!

[kuwagamon practico]

You got excellent taste in Digital Monsters there, sir.

[A Christmas Gift]

I'm not sure if this is that ambitious project you were talking about, but regardless this turned out fantastic! If I had one complaint, it would be a particular color choice in the top right image specifically. I was originally going to whine about the background, but then I realized the muted tones help balance it out with the other pieces. And that's when I noticed the third color at the top and bottom of her hair. That is to say that it's hardly noticeable. It blends in a little too much with the rest of her hair, affecting readability. Other than that, you did an amazing job!

As for the animations, even though they're not extravagant or anything, you did a great job there as well! You managed to make each one move in a way that complements their respective image.

Also, don't take what I say with too much weight. I've been in a fist fight with a color wheel for the past 8 hours...

ComatoseAlex responds:

Thank you very much! Yes, this was the ambitious project. It seemed more intimidating in my head but everything fell into place when I started working on it. Ah yes, that third colour in the girl’s hair. You have valid criticism there. I didn’t want to make the hair look orange (more of a golden blonde), so I wanted to use a muted colour but it ended up not being that visible anyway. Hm, maybe looking at some reference pictures of golden blonde hair more carefully would’ve helped there. I’ll remember that for future projects.

Hah, who doesn’t have some problem with colours? I recently have been using some colour palettes to help me with my art. I hope to learn what colours naturally look better that way.

[Plumeria Union boys]

Carp's looking pretty fresh there.

Also, nice sprites. In particular, I like the fellow in the top image, on the far left. Head reminds me of a melting candle.

PugStudio48 responds:

Thanks, his name is Willson.

Better than going through life with baby thumb.

Imagine having to go through life wearing extra long sleeve shirts due to a crippling fear of people mocking you for your undersized thumbs. Not to mention all the friends you would lose. One of them could do something cool from a distance and look at you for approval, but you can never give them the thumbs-up they desire. That they deserve (hey man, let's be real, it was a cool trick). They can never know. Doctors can offer you prosthetics that go over your thumbs to make them look bigger, but the second somebody challenges you to thumb wrestling, you know it's over. You would never even know the simple joy of snapping your fingers. Be thankful for being born with adequate thumbs. Count your blessings... Count them with your thumbs!

You don't know what you got until you never had it to begin with...

[Cheering You On!]

Oh, why, thank you! But I need to be careful not to build up too much self confidence, or I might start thinking I can fight an oncoming train or something!

I mean, I can, but that's not the point...
