["JUST DRIVE."]

Awesome. Passing streetlights as they shine into the interior of a car is a very daunting visual to try to recreate, but you've done it fantastically here!

[Botanical Brain]

I'm really digging your consistent subjects of skeletons. Great execution here!

9VoltWiseMan responds:

Thank you! This was actually the first skeleton I drew! I really enjoyed doing the texturing on bones so the theme kind of stuck :')

[Dark Castle]

Absolutely captivating. The brightness of the moon is brought to life by your excellent shading in the clouds around, the mountain tops, and the illuminated path leading up to the castle. I love it. Also, cheers to a full moon, not sure if the timing of this upload was intended or not ;D

[Mutated Rabbit]

Silly Rabbit, Trix are for k- oh shit
Awesome. Love the color and texture here :D

[Car in a snowy yard]

Phenomenal. I really love how you captured that faint, nighttime snow that can best be seen near sources of light. It feels like a very unique take, and I really dig it! Everything else about this is fantastic as well- the color, the detail, the animation itself. The ONLY thing that I can think of that might add to the atmosphere would probably be some exhaust coming out of the back of the car. Regardless, you've got a beautiful piece here, impeccable down to the very last pixel.

[Wandering]

Gyaahleee! This is gorgeous. I love the depth and the shading, it's almost photo-realistic and so beautifully crafted.

Thank you so much!

[Pixel Background]

Not bad! I like the shading here, especially on the rocks. There's a good sense of depth as well. I feel that the sky, once it gets to the brightest point, seems a bit empty. Other than that, the tower in the distance, and the bright green up front to give that contrast make this a really nice piece.

Also, I'm curious- what program did you use to make this? I just gave pixel art a try using photoshop and spent a good while trying to figure out why the pixels weren't exporting sharply. I found that I needed to set the quality when exporting/resizing to "nearest neighbor" in order to preserve the sharp edges. Again, this is for photoshop (as far as I know) but it might be good to look into, so these works shine to their fullest. :) Keep it up!

JKLiew responds:

Thanks!
i'm still figuring out how the pixel works as well.

I'm using Clip studio paint. Below 600 px and using some custom pixel brushes for it.
My friend just introduce a proper pixel art purpose program _ Aseprite to me as well, haven't try with that.

[City of Light]

Awesome! Love the color palette here, especially in those clouds. Great sense of depth all throughout. Welcome to NG!

[Neptune Emerging]

Hot damn. I love that chiseled, almost creamy-look in some of the strokes here, namely around the arms and legs. You captured and utilized a few different textures here in ways that really showcase the depth and atmosphere of this piece. I'm hypnotized by the color/texture work in the background as well. Epic af.

[Rogue Serpent]

Epic. I love the scratchy bits/highlights on the armor and weapons especially. The color pops as always, and so does the contrast in shading. That blood looks damn good as well.
