[His arrival]

Imperfect Cell was probably my all-time favorite DBZ villain. His voice, his insect-like origins and earlier behaviors, and Bruce Faulconer's hauntingly slow, industrial music will stick with me forever. He was a different type of villain, opting to disturbingly drain his victims of their lives rather than merely blasting them into oblivion. I didn't really care for Cell as a villain once he started "perfecting" himself. He was just a regular jerk. In this incarnation, we was a literal monster.

This drawing captures those feelings wonderfully. The way you used the contrast of his dark, staggeringly tall figure against a bright, sunny day is an excellent way of conveying his terror. I will say that his upper torso seems a bit too wide, and the positioning of his mouth seems slightly off. However, the coloring and shading is especially stylistic and admirable. Great work, keep it up!

EricRedd responds:

I couldn't describe Cell any better then this. Hell even gave Faulconer a Dub, you a real one my guy.

And thanks for the critique as well

[The Dissociation Below]

There's so much detail, the composition is absolutely immaculate, and it's as if there are many worlds within this piece. Absolutely breathtaking, magical, and very well put together. The color palette here is so satisfying to look at, and I feel like I could spend hours starting at this.. which is why I'm especially excited for my print of this to arrive! I pretty much fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and despite the fact that I have very little to no wall-space left, I knew I had to have a print of this. Again, bravo. Extra bonus cool points for the accompanying passage/description you've written below.

ericinprogress responds:

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! I really appreciate it.

[Death in the Garden]

Fantastic work! I love the amount of color and emotion in this piece. What materials did you use to create this?

PT-Bonesy responds:

Thank you so much for your kind rating! B)

It’s a mixed media piece! This painting was done in watercolor and covered with colored pencil and posca paint pens. I sadly can’t remember what kind of paper I drew it on :( but I think it’s mixed media paper at least.

[Bug]

Awesome palette and menacing camera angle. I love the design and expression of the mouth, as if it was an ancient creature surfacing for the first time, or perhaps just awakening with an insatiable hunger.

SourCherryJack responds:

Thank you! This was actually done with pretty cheap paints that had bad coverage which gave me a lot of time to layer and really build the colors up more than I usually would with my normal paints.

[Wake Up]

This is absolutely dazzling and incredibly well balanced. I love the contrast, and I also really enjoy the little sparkles/firefly details throughout. The color palette is absolutely magnificent.

Charongess responds:

Thank you <3

[Frozen Forest]

Chilly- great color/contrast here, it really invokes a cold, frozen feeling.

artoast8p responds:

Thanks!

[Hidden Dusk]

Fascinating. Absolutely fantastic work here. The color is spot-on, I can almost feel the warmth of the sunlight.

artoast8p responds:

Thanks! Glad you like it! I do find myself using these colours in my art a lot. It's definitely for the warmth feeling as you mentioned, and always fun to use for highlights/glows etc too :)

[Carnival of Nod]

Loving the colors and the detail here, great work! Seamless loop bonus points too.

ZanMiller responds:

Hey thanks a lot! It took way long than expected haha :P

[The video game war]

Holy cannoli, now that's an epic cast. There are so many characters and references to take in here, I love this. Metroid Dread Samus is looking fantastic, love Hank and the Auditor, Companion Cube and cake, and is that PEPSIMAN?!

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Correct! *Cues Pepsiman fanfare*

[Inn Bedroom]

I love the perspective here. I've always found it somewhat intimidating to try to pull off angles like this in pixel art, but it's super satisfying when it comes together. Looks like it certainly did here. Great attention to detail and oooo the shading is so nice.

Thisisgevorkart responds:

Hell yes thank you so much! It can be really challenging but what I found to be helpful is the basics of making those perspective grid lines and hopefully everything lines up lol. It can be a bit back and forth but it hella pays off in the end :^D
