[I DONT WHANT YOUR BEANS]

Carved in stone style

It looks like a crazy graffiti with parts of it carved into the stone and parts drawn on it.

I love the dynamic of the flying beans and the plate. You gave the biggest, closest bean in particular a perfect angle to make it look like it's about to pop out of the pic any moment. You drew the beans pretty good anyway.

The face however looks too hard and sharp-edged to me. The hair and ear both seem fine though.

The hand may be a little too big, even for the desired angle, but it looks good apart from that.

The body doesn't look good to me. On the boys' left shoulder there's sharp edge and the rest isn't detailed. It looks as if he does not wear a shirt, but if you would have added some sleeves and some kind of "neckline", the rest would look like a loose shirt. On the other hand, the shading (armpit, neck, etc.) looks good.

But yet again, you used another cool and unique style for it. I don't know how to name it, because monchrome is not a sufficient description. But it definitely looks interesting to me.

thanks for the review!

[B.E.A.N Unit]

Lean mean B.E.A.N. machine

There is nothing I don't like here. The title is great and you found a suiting and funny acronym for it. The whole idea of a robot killer bean is just hilarious.

To be more specific, what I like most is that there are two lightsources and you did the resulting highlights and shades very well.

The single feature, like the weapons, the jetpack and the fact that you did it's "eyes" as cameras, all look great. And generally the metal looks very convincing.

If there is anything I would critique about this killerbean, is that its left lower leg (the right from our view) is thicker than the other one although the other one is closer to the viewer.

All in all, a great and funny submission!

Erm....

It's funny, but even if you go for that style purposely, it could use some shading. Plus I would recommend a less saturated background colour, which is more pleasent to the eye.

Meow

Nice scary, crazy, bloodthirsty cat. Good job!

[Friiiiday]

That's hilarious

What a dark outcome of a happy day. It's also nice how you included the icon. And yeah I really like the lower back tattoo.

[Black cat]

Yummy

Generic juice is the best....

As AwesomeSaurus said, you really mastered this style. I can't see anything wrong bedsides the position of the cat ears, what has also been mentioned by him.

[Black Kat]

Funny

Yeah the facial expression is really funny and I like how evil the cat threatens the mouse. I would just have loved to see this coloured and shaded. Would be even better, I guess. So far it's up to our imagination, that this cat is black.... but at least it works. ^^

ZaneZansorrow responds:

Right on!

[Cat-Attack]

Great one....

I like the annoyed or frustrated look on his face. The gun feels really heavy and looks funny compared to his skinny body. Nice job on the little details, like the cans, the dog tags or the little mischievous cat.

It would actually be very interesting to see more units in this style.

Lintire responds:

I suppose you could always think of it as a modern-day Cloud but yeah, wasn't really thinking of practical weight ratios at the time of conception - sort of a 3 ounce swallow carrying a 5 pound coconut, right?

And yeah, I always like to chuck in little details and seeing more units in this style would be interesting. I've yet to pinpoint that I really have a style as of yet.

[Catnip]

Didn't see that coming

Good to see BizarroJoe supporting our cause. The pic is great of course, it is really interesting how you drew that cat. And it just looks as if the cat wants to get away. I like the frame and how you included our silly icon.

Is there anything I can say about the girl? Nothing that has not been said about your girls over and over again. Good job!

BizarroJoe responds:

I want to get the hang of adapting animals to fit into my style and introducing them into my submissions. Cats are domestic, flexible animals which fit nicely into the imagery of any "girly" artist. And they're beautiful to watch, too. I like cats. :3 They give plenty of room for an artist to toy with.
Probably, the animal I'd want most to get confident with now, is the horse.
Thanks for commenting, Luwe! (Luwe? I don't know if that's sounds right...)

[Black Cat]

Art noir-ish....

I really like this one. the stencil like background and texture on his clothes are a nice adaption from modern art. The cat itself look like taken out of an art noir comic strip. The limited number of colours (black, white and greys) and high contrast add to that effect. Really great job!

J-qb responds:

Thanks, good to know I acheived my goals for this one.
