[Some Drawings!!]

I love your take on the TTYD heroes! The Toad hero using a Koopa shell as a shield is very creative, and it fits right in with Paper Mario's funny nature. The SMB3 Hammer weapon also fits; it's a great stand-in for a sword in a Mario game.

Sine has a pretty cool design! I like how she's mostly blue and white, with hints of orange here and there. That's some nice use of complementary colors. I'd like to see Tangent, too. (Side note: I just got the pun names. Sine and Tangent... that's good. XD Is there a Cosine, too?)

I don't know anything about Lum, but that last drawing is hilarious. Not-Fred-Flintstone's expression makes it gold for me.

All in all, you did a great job! If you want to post more, I'd say go right ahead! There's no shame in posting unfinished sketches - in fact, when you submit an art piece, there's a checkbox specifically for sketches. I'm sure people will love to see it! Keep up the good work! :)

[Lineage of Kirby]

Amazing! I can't believe this is all hand-drawn! You even shaded Kid Kirby by hand? Holy guacamole. I see that this took a lot of time and effort, and I assure that it was worth it! You captured Kirby's essence in all of these different styles. The expressions are also sweet and fun. Stellar! This whole piece is just so charming to look at.

I'm going to try and guess all of the Kirbies (clockwise from the top):
Void Termina, Canvas Curse, Rainbow Curse, Super Star, Mass Attack, Dream Course (Keeby), Dream Land 3, Dream Land 2 commercial, Kid Kirby, Link's Awakening (Anti-Kirby), Squeak Squad, Kirby 64, Epic Yarn, manga, Dream Land 1, Modern Kirby, and Right Back at Ya. Did I get them all right?

DreamsBellArt responds:

Thank you very much! And yep, even Kid Kirby, you'd be surprised how easy that one was to shade, since it's mostly spheres, which are easy.

Yeah you nailed it on naming them all! Great job

[(gif) bootseq]

I really like the idea that a robot would have to go through a boot sequence every time they wake up. It's something I never considered, but it makes sense. I wish the gif stayed on Nitri for a few seconds, but I do like Nitri's groggy expression. Really, I love to see animated art pieces in general. Good job!

[1511]

I had no idea both games came out on the same date! What are the odds?

I really love how you drew all of the characters. This art style captures both games really well. The Superstar Saga-styled Mario Bros. fit surprisingly well with the RPG characters. Every character in this illustration is very expressive, and you captured their essences perfectly. Super job!

[burst pipe]

I always love the lonesome, desolate atmosphere in these art pieces. It really makes you wonder what happened to this world. I also love how Nitri has a cartoony design and bright colors, while the background is dark and realistic. Nitri is very easy to see, but even with the contrast, she still feels like she naturally fits into the world. You handled the contrast really well. Nice job!

[Mega Man 3 Poster!]

I love how you gave each Robot Master their own personality! Top Man is goofy, Hard Man is imposing, Snake Man is twisted, etc. It gives them a lot of depth beyond just being boss robots.

My only complaint is that Hard Man being at the top, along with the absence of Dr. Wily, makes Hard Man look like the main villain. But that's a small nitpick.

All in all, you did a great job with this art piece! And yeah, I also have a soft spot for Mega Man 3. Not really sure why, but eh. Good game.

Kotico responds:

Thank you so much! Originally, I planned to include Gamma with Willy at the top of the poster. However, due to limited space, I had to exclude them lol. Including them would have stretched the artwork and compromised its quality on platforms like DeviantArt and Instagram. But yeah im really glad to hear that you liked it!

[floating hands]

I like Droopy's expression here. You can tell that she's enamored by her own hands. Her bright, hot-pink eyes stand out against the desaturated colors, which make her eyes a strong focal point. All around, nice job as always.

Question: Was Droopy born with those hands, or are they artificial in some way?

TheShammah responds:

yeah she was born like that lol
