[SWAMPSONG April 16]

As a person who frequents metal shows (like twice a month at least,) THANK YOU FOR WRITING OUT THE NAMES OF THE BANDS! Maybe I'm just not kvlt enough but I still struggle reading some band logos. I wish more concert posters would do this. Anyway, this is pretty good! The illustration gives off the vibe that these are doom/depressive/drone oriented bands? This poster doesn't exactly scream "FUCK YEAH METAL SHOW HYPE LET'S MELT OUR FACES OFF" but I think that it could work in the context of the bands. There's a good balance to the poster, but I can't quite put my finger on it- I think that the white text and font towards the bottom slightly throws things off.
Regardless, this is a pretty cool poster and it would definitely catch my eye!

ryve responds:

I appreciate the honest review :) Yeah, i get what you mean about the whole vibe thing. The bands on line up go towards more death metal, so I suppose I could have made that more clear. The whole subject matter was spawned because there was a chance the gig was going to be 'seated event' due to rules and regulations we have at the moment.

[Frosty evening]

I never got around to reviewing this, but I couldn't help but drop in to at least admire your work with the sky. Sunsets and sunrises have many different captivating color sequences, and I tend to struggle with which exact moment of dusk I would like to portray. This particular sunset palette has always intrigued me, but I've never managed to get it quite right. The loop is incredibly clean here and I love the effort you put into detailing all of the windows of the building.

aleha84 responds:

windows did not require special efforts to create. Most tricky part was to create bus and car movement animations, so they while move diagonally wont jump on pixels like on stairs.

[Forest road]

The incredibly smooth and precise detail of the leaves immediately drew me in. This piece is captivating, and every pixel breathes so much life so naturally. I could probably gush about the lighting alone for hours on end. Also, I love the exhaust fumes coming from the car! I had to double check that my memory served me correctly, but I recall suggesting adding exhaust fumes to a similar piece you posted a year ago- 'Car in a Snowy Yard.' I do still really enjoy that piece, but comparing this one side by side, your improvement as an artist really shines in a number of different ways.
I love your presence here and I greatly look forward to your next work!

aleha84 responds:

yes, creating exhaust fumes was provoked by comments to 'Car in a Snowy Yard' artwork. I'm trying always listen to other people CC

[Heather Mason - A Stray Child]

Nice! Great art style, and I think that your choice in background color is pretty fitting with the recurring blood-orange aura in the game.

SketchMeNot responds:

Ah! Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! (^-^)

Yeah, if I I had to pick a color scheme to represent each game in the series, 3 would definitely have an orange-blood-red color theme. The game has such an aggressive vibe, especially when compared to the more sodden, moldy, melancholic vibe of Silent Hill 2. Some of the areas in Silent Hill 3 feel like they're screaming, if that makes any sense haha. I love it! (^w^)

[The Malady Codex IV - Cover Art]

This ticks several things off the checklist for me, namely the subject of a partially skeletal beaked-being near the northern lights. The coloring and shading is very well done and complimentary to the setting of the piece. Excellent work!

DaemmonArts responds:

Thank you very much! These comments mean a lot to me!

[The Shrine calls]

I love this. I think that the limited color palette and the ghostly 'feel' of this piece really bring forth a gripping sensation. Everything almost looks smokey, and as if it might be an illusion you simply pass through as you try to walk towards it. Your art is awesome- thanks for sharing!

DaemmonArts responds:

Thank you so much!!

[Songs of the Sea]

This is absolutely captivating. I LOVE the colors. Impressive and effectively done details too.

DaemmonArts responds:

Thank you so much! :D

[Calm Riverbend]

Very nice. I love the subtle use of color in the water. The reflection of light from the mountains is very warm, and everything has a clear sense of depth to the point where even to the naked eye, this looks almost '3-D.' I'd be curious to try out acrylic gel, so thanks for sharing your process!

Bigfoot3290 responds:

Thanks! And an alias I remember from the good ol' days to boot. Hope you're well.

[Southards Pond]

I absolutely love the color here, and the sharp attention to detail in the foliage. Absolutely beautiful, and I always enjoy reading your commentaries.

Bigfoot3290 responds:

Thanks! This one might be my favorite...certainly the work that got me back into casually painting again.
