[Over and over]

Very smooth!

Your stylistic choice is brilliant in two ways:

1. Obviously, simplistic drawings are easier to animate.

2. Style is shockingly similar to the scale-model dinosaur diagrams on Wikipedia. I don't know if this was intentional, but it's cool for a dinosaur fan like me to see.

Animation is smooth, the details such as the waving tail and lurching, heavy stride are present in the T-Rex. These details weren't applied to the raptors, but that's OK because they're relatively small in comparison.

FUN FACT: The largest discovered dinosaur was an herbivore, weighing an unbelievable (even by dinosaur standards) 122 tons, and it's spine was 60 meters in length.

Merol responds:

I used some references, I wanted them to be accurated enough, but a bit cartoonized. Still I think I didn't nailed the velociraptors running.

THAT'S SICK! Just imagine a beast like that :O

THANK YOU!

[RROOOOAAAAAAAARR!!]

Robot Dinosaurs!

I like that this is hand-drawn (unless you filtered it, but it looks hand-drawn to me), and the fact that it's at night/space is a new setting that makes the game's bright colors really 'pop'. The curls in the smoke make it form a pattern-like design around the boss, which is also awesome and full of fanciness. The different beam colors (I never played as 'DinoMight' before, I don't know if his beam actually was this color) ensure that the three primary colors are strong within the focal point.

Brilliant drawing!
I'm also a fan of Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar, and in my personal opinion, this picture is DINO-TASTIC!!! *smashes helicopter*

Merol responds:

Glad you like it!
Yes, It's hand drawn!
I've played with Dinomite several times and i'm pretty sure his beam is blue.

THANKS A LOT!!

...that was an emoticon of my jaw hitting the floor. Ordinarily, a great picture has decent characteristics, and one or two characteristics that jump out as particularly awesome. This, however, is awesome in almost every way. I love the details and the shading, which look amazing. Textures work extremely well, except on his chest (front pocket and buttons work, but they don't look as awesome as everything else is all I'm saying). I know that the character design was meant to resemble your friend, but nonetheless it works brilliantly. The abstract background elements are hauntingly dark and mysterious, as is the symbolism of the emptying tea cup and the facial expression of the character.
The overall atmosphere seems very dark and Tim-Burton-esque, but also very blunt and aggressive. Very awesome!

[The real Master Chief]

Stylish!

Some people are calling them mistakes, but it seems more like stylization to me. The high-contrast shading works well, and the proportions and angles suggest that he is just raising his gun after reloading. The wayward lines give a nice, hand-made look. You can never have too many debris particles, and the facial expression is one that I can picture master chief making behind his helmet when he is doing something awesome (which is always).

[Polluted destroyed city]

Awesome!

I'm totally a different person than that last guy.

I like the vanishing point here. You can clearly see that the road rises above the ground. I also really like the things behind the road. The water and such back there looks very nice.

[Phelgrum and Cauldronis!]

Mad. Character design. Skills.

Man, I wish my characters were half as random as yours! That's so awesome! I am especially jealous of that ladle... I want one. What would happen if I was cooking during a zombie apocalypse without one?

The shading, coloring and texture details are also awesome. You made random, ridiculously designed characters come to life (figuratively speaking...I hope).

5/5, 10/10, and concentrated waves of extreme jealousy.

jouste responds:

hey thanks a bunch!

my main problem is that a lot of my stuff is a little too "out there" so its tricky to get people to shine on them.

thanks so much for the high scores! holy cats thats awesome!

*highfives*

[Who needs names]

It's an awesome...

...thingamajig!

The color scheme and sandy texture suggest that this could be underwater or in a desert at night.

The lighting and texture are great, but why is the sand in the bottom right corner a brown/yellow color, unlike the rest of the picture?

[World on Fire]

Awesome.

The vaults still terrify me. I nearly jumped out of my skin when those cloned people attacked me!

Very nice shading and line art, and although the detail on the ground isn't the best, it's alright because the focal point is the poster.

How to win the game:

Step 1: Take annoying storyteller kid to Bigtown
Step 2: Get party hat

Step 8: Go somewhere with civilians and very few guards
Step 9: Throw a lazer lightshow party
Step 10: Win the game

Pillowmint responds:

War. War never changes...for the most part. Sometimes it involves lasers.

[Believe]

awesome!

I wish I could add this to my favorites... I hope you get scouted soon!

I've seen similar concepts for the hair and wings, but it was the colored arms and roses that make this picture stand out from the rest.

[Symbiote Colored]

awesome detail in the lineart!

I always wondered what he'd look like with Joker scars! That has to be my favorite part of the drawing - the strands of skin going across it look awesome and it's a cool excuse to reshape his lower jaw. All the saliva coming out of his mouth shows the direction his mouth and tongue are moving, and really add to Venom's creature-like appearance!

n00b103 responds:

The torn mouth appearance was inspired by the Xenomorphs from Aliens.
I also loved the idea that Venom would open his gape so wide that his jaws are actually getting torn in the process.
