[Be My Valentine]

This is a great picture, although it was a tad confusing. I wasn't quite sure what the statement was. Be my valentine or I'll kill you? Whatever, it's great to look at. I was expecting to see some severed heart with that demonic face. At least the date's fairly appropriate.

This guy does remind me of Satan, only yellow. You really have great detail in everything. I especially like how pronounced the brows are. The antennae's a great touch too. Uh, happy late Valentine's Day to you as well?

deathink responds:

Thanks a lot man, yeah, maybe I will add that heart idea next year!

[Fallout 3 in lo-def]

This is an absolutely perfect picture! I haven't played the Fallout games before, but I don't need to, to know how awesome this is! Everything is done so realistically. Well, maybe not realistic, but more life like. You got the shadow effects down perfectly. This thing is so beautiful it looks like a wedding cake!

It's just so lush and gorgeous. It looks like you photoshopped an actual picture. Of course, the location is fictional. The trees are a wonderful touch, too. I love how it just seems to be out in the middle of nowhere. A complete bullseye!

[Hand-picked]

Okay, here's my interpretation. The character looks a lot like Dad. I'm not referring to Dad from "Dad's Home", I'm referring to him from "Dad 'N Me". I never realized how many dads we had. Anyway, this is absolutely gorgeous. It's Dad about to kill or attack a kid.

That's quite depressing. I mean, this kid is absolutely adorable! It was unbelievable the sheer amount of detail you put into every one of his hairs. He seems to be part of nature. In fact, I'm pretty sure that was the intention, seeing as how his fingers are rocks. I can't believe this only has 3,000 views!

icheban responds:

Interesting :) I love how interpretations differ so heavily from person to person, thank you for yours!

The painting did get front paged so I'm not trippin at all about the amount of views it got :)

[Silence After]

This seemed to remind me of Azula from "Avatar: The Last Airbender". I guess it just seemed like her silhouette. I love the arm that appears in this. You made a good use of closing in on the picture. My story is that this person was attacked by some monster. Pretty generic, but it's what I think of with this.

You have a nice signage, too. I just now notice the stars in the background. There appear to be tents as well. I didn't realize that it took place outside. The branches look like veins.

zigan responds:

Thanks for the warm feedback. I appreciate your observations as well! Very creative! And yes, I think I was thinking of Azula when I did this too ;)

[Hersa]

This is a freaking amazing picture! I also love how you made a good description of it. It's the kind of thing that would make a great movie! I just love the image of the two ravens. If not for the description, I would have thought it was about science vs. religion. The left orb is a cross and the other orb is an atom.

Hersa, in my mind, would be a girl who was conflicted between the two ideas. She couldn't have both. The description you do have is still great. I just love the swirling background. I just now noticed the red breaking out of her chest. I can't stop telling you how much I love these visuals!

zigan responds:

Thank you! I was feeling a lot while painting this and I always enjoy hearing this type of feedback from my viewers. I have this one printed in a 18x24 above my desktop right now. :)

[Back to Hell]

YES, THIS IS AWESOME! This is seriously freaking amazing! I can see why Jazza loves this so much. The thing is, I'm not a fan of the Diablo games. At least, I don't know much about them. I don't need to, to know how awesome this is!

The guy on the left kind of looks like Galvatron. Age Of Extinction sucked and I love this. The monster truly looks like some hellspawn. You even get to see a wonderful amount of action. The colors are absolutely gorgeous. The guy on the left looks like he has wood coming out of him.

RussFairchild responds:

Why thank you =D

[Searching for Love]

Um...happy Fourth of July? It's hard to even know what to say. This is fricking awesome, man! I am so glad to be introduced to your unique style. You really did know exactly what a real life heart looks like. I really think you have scientifically represented the chambers. It's the perfect metaphor for what's going on.

At first, I thought it was someone holding the heart. I know it is just suspended in midair or space or something. The fire at the top and ice on the bottom creates perfect contrast. This guy really is searching for love! I now notice the beautiful birds. This is wonderful, man!

YakovlevArt responds:

Hey thanks a lot for the kind words!
I really enjoyed making this piece, many sleepless nights and revisions lead to this. It's comments like this that keep me going and creating new pieces.

Cheers!

[The DiMorteli Brothers]

Here's another simply great picture. I am amazed that you managed to have such a lengthy description of it. Honestly, we do not need a literature portal. I just love this two headed design. It's not two heads in the traditional sense, it's more like Professor Quirrel and Voldemort. The claws are just done wonderfully. I've always been a fan of those.

You really get the idea of the monstrous vampire down. You rarely see those anymore. I love how you made devils the vampire's greatest enemy. I could spend a lot more time just talking about the description. It's all so wonderfully organized.

Kkylimos responds:

Thank you very much! Im glad you enjoyed their story too! And as far as vampire design goes , i always liked to imagine them as the incarnation of gothic horror and nocturnal evil. Im not a big fan of vampiric pretty boys :P

[We found peace]

Yes, perfect! I just saw the video that promotes this! It's easy to see why this was Jazza's favorite. I'm surpassed you didn't mention the specific recognition for this. It's a great picture because of how beautiful it is. You know how to create such a sense of harmony.

Everything just seems so happy and joyous in this. I love how you've made everything so colorful. I doubt there even are birds that look that great. The woman seems to be lacking shorts or something. The trees themselves look like animals and/or birds! You are a true artist!

clayscence responds:

thank you so much :D I really appreciate your kind words, I am happy you like it!
