[Manray and The Dirty Bubble!]

You get a ten without reason.

The fact that it's Manray and the Dirty Bubble makes me automatically give it a ten! I love seeing my childhood memories seen on this site, so I was really excited to see this. I have a suggestion, you should make the small icon for this piece to be Manray, because since it is the Dirty Bubble, it looks simply like a generic angry face. Maray has a much more distinct face, so I think he (and the art piece) would be recognized immediately. Anyway, keep up the excellent work!

lets see if it works, thanks!

[Quiet Chaos.]

I like your style.

There is a lot going on in this piece, I imagine at time of industry when I look at it. I really like how the smoke is in different colors, it looks great with the color scheme. I took off a point because the perspective off how the smoke fades into the back looks misconstrued, like it is going in the incorrect direction. I still thought this piece was great and I like the cube-style you've got going on. Keep up the good work!

i dont think this peice will ever get a score:(

[Stronger Spartan]

Nice.

I was never a big fan of the Halo series, but I immediately recognized the character when I saw the image. Nothing to complain about in this piece, I love the color scheme and the bright aura surrounding the spartan. The light coming from behind the spartan is my favorite part, it fits extremely well with the picture. Keep up the excellent work!

Thanks!

[We Are Watching You]

I like it.

The modern look of this piece really shows through, it reminds me of those illusion where you have to count the squares. The colors are very vibrant, but the repetition is pretty bland in itself. It definately matches the theme of the contest you entered though. Overall, it looks neat and very catchy to the eye. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing your future art pieces!

Nillions responds:

Looking back on it, it reminds me of the VR levels from TimeSplitters 3. I wanted this to be very abstract, so I went for these bright colours and hard edges. The different reds give it a sort of menacing look, which I think suits the title of this piece.

Thank you very much!

[Piko]

Nicely done.

Pikachu's facial expression reminds me of a Chinese man for some reason. I like the color scheme and the tone you put on Pikachu's body, plus I got a laugh over him eating that bone. I thought the background could use some more depth or a solid color, but it still meshes together nicely with the drawing. Overall, I like the creative spin you put on a classic character. Keep up the great work!

Homocidicle responds:

Well thanks Hank.

[Violent Encounter]

Realy cool.

I like how much tone and texture you showed on the people and monster's bodies, it made them look very realistic. It looks like one of those 1950s science-fiction movies, plus this picture really puts me in the Halloween spirit. I like the baby, it looks like it's getting a wedgie, plus it's facial expression is really entertaining. Keep up the excellent work!

Nekow responds:

Right you are! I wanted to go for '50s movie poster style. Thanks for the highscore

[soundsystem paradox]

Creative for sure.

This looks really modern, like something a person would stick on their wall in an apartment. I definately see the M.C. Escher influence you are talking about, too. For something made on the paint system it is highly impressive. It is a little blurry though and lacks concept, but it is neat looking and creative. Keep up the good work, I like your style.
