[Picka-CHEW]

How monstrous!

This is a great pokemon art piece because the artwork overall is so good. I think the best part is probably how there are so many details. You have the pokeball and the drips of blood hanging around. What's also sweet is how it seems like everything has a different style to it. Ash himself has a rougher style while Pikachu's is simply demonic. It's easily the most fearsome Pikachu I have ever seen.

It's amazing how this started out as your first art piece as it's so good! I couldn't tell if there was crap coming from Ash's butt or Pikachu's. The sunken in eyes are truly haunting. The grass is nice and green and serves as a good contrast to what's going on in the rest of the picture. You know how to make pokemon scary.

I don't...

I can't see any dildos in her arms, but whatever, this is a great art piece. You get a nice shot of her boobs, but I'm really not that interested in it. What I'm most concerned with is just how well this is done. It's like every bit of her body is just coming out at the viewer. I don't think it's physically possible to have a spine that can bend like that. It's great that I recognize your flashy art style. The shading was really good, especially with how there were all these colors overlapping.

I like the theme of red as it shows up on the most awesome parts of her body. Gee, I'm loving a picture of a female I'm not attracted to? I must spend time in the real world too much! What's also sweet is how those little pink/red stains are around, showing that she's apparently killed someone. It's interesting to draw fanart of an original character.

Your best!

If this turns out to be the last thing you've ever worked on, it was certainly worth it! It was great to see all of these classic cartoons presented in this way. It really makes you realize how important this website is to us and our culture. We have formed our own community with our own ideas and styles. I think the best drawn here is probably the Madness part. If this was a postcard, everyone would want in on it.

That reminds me how it's getting near Christmas, so this would make a great Christmas card! Keep up the good work! The tank here is probably the most well drawn tank I have ever encountered in an art submission. It shows years of doing through hard work, but it's still going strong. It's a message you can send to all NGers. We will all keep on contributing to this website as we should be doing.

Great artwork

What I found to be coolest about this was how the colors were so wonderfully blended. It was mostly red, but there were so many different shades of red. I notice this has a rather sinister appeal to it, given the fact that we see the human leg there. It's a nice inversion where it's the pig eating the humans. It reminds me of an episode of "Courage The Cowardly Dog". Granted, it didn't turn out like that, but it's a memory.

There are so many different arrangements for the meat to be in. I wonder what human meat would look, okay, I'm not going to discuss that. I like how there are some bones that are just hanging around, literally. It gives the appearance of a jumbled world of madness. Granted, the atmosphere is calm so it's good to see the underlying scariness.

[NG VaultBoy: Level 8]

Here we go again!

There are simply so many of these art submissions of yours, I have little doubt you will make the rest of them. It's probably the longest running art series I have ever seen. Granted, I haven't seen many to begin with. I think this was probably not one of the best entries because it isn't that finely detailed. It's still a good art piece, because it also doesn't try to be too elaborate. I can't wait for the God icon in this series!

While there isn't much shading, you still show off where it is. I like how the guy here has such a stern look on his face. You know that he's ready to do something badass. It's great that such a feeling would be felt by members of the NG community with this level icon. The wavy hair looks so much like ice cream.

Couldn't quite get the reference

I am not a fan of Poison, but have heard of them before. I thought this Tankmen was supposed to represent some gay stereotype or something. Whatever the intention was, it turned out to be a great picture. It's mostly because the coloring effects are just so good in this. It could be a little more detailed, but it certainly works for what it is. It's weird how he actually does look like what you would see if a tankmen wore clothes like that.

I'm so used to seeing the black outer clothing I don't notice the gray skin too much. It does give you a sense that this is the same kind of character who is the mascot. I think the best color effects are easily done with the glasses. I like how you worked hard to get the shading and everything else done nicely. It's a great picture.

[Luis Plush]

Ah, so cute

This isn't an art piece per se, but more of a photograph. In fact, I think it's entirely a photograph. I still have to give you credit because this is simply a really wonderfully made little doll. Did you make it yourself? I am starting to remember that this is just what Luis looked like when he was in the "Cave Of Wonders" game. The game apparently took place in his dream, so of course he would have his pajamas on.

What's also great is how I can even identify some of the parts of the doll. The most noticeable part are his button eyes. I also loved how you used a real zipper for his pajamas. Is that an "Angry Birds" keychain on the lower right of the picture? I guess I do kind of wish that I could see the otehr figures behind him better.

Where are the votes?

I don't know what happened to the rating system, but this is a good art piece. Don't tell me you're going to make another series! This time it's going to feature a logo with every country! I'm not British, so I guess it was really hard for me to enjoy it that much. What I did like about this was the overall artwork especially with the black lines. It's great to see these little streaks of black painted all over the piece. I think they represent dirt or something.

I wonder if there was a specific pattern to this or not? Whatever the intention, it's a nice picture. We should all be familiar with the British flag, and for that matter, the flags of most world powers. There isn't much shading or anything, but it's still well done. The logo is known for appearing with a rising sun, so maybe a Japan flag logo would be redundant.

[Hank]

That's Hank?

The wierdest thing about this is that it doesn't even look like it is Hank at all! It feels more like this is an attempt to create an original character. I have to love this one because it is probably the most realistic depiction of Hank that I have ever seen in an art piece. It kind of makes you wonder where his eyes even came from. He started out as an ordinary Madness guy with no eyes, but then he somehow grew them? The colors are gorgeous too.

It is great that people are always trying to put new perspectives on classic characters, especially awesome ones like Hank! Every detail is wonderfully done. He seems to somewhat resemble a cobra in this, given his scaley looking skin. The red background is also great. People rarely see art pieces as well detailed as this. It's simply going down to the nitty gritty stuff of what makes Hank so awesome.
