[The Puss was here]

Hello there

That's a very unique take on the theme and looks very charming :)
I can't exactly say why but this give off such a calm yet happy feeling.

I wish you good luck for the contest and an awesometacular day

miliade responds:

Thank you! It's exactly what i tired to achieve. I'm glad I somewhat made it. And I wish you too a great day and best of luck :3

[Where Did It All Go Wrong?...]

Absolutely stunning!
Likeness, composition, lighting... everything's just brilliantly done and I especially love the "bloody" look of the vegemite.

Mate, I'd give you 10 stars if I could - Which means, I'm gonna come back and rate again tomorrow ;)

Best wishes and for the love of Frank, keep up that awesometacular work ^^

Thanks Rahel! Really appreciate your comments

[Charlie]

Thank you for making this.
Let's laugh and ridicule those who are too weak to defend them selves and their fairytales with arguments. And let us honour those who died standing tall.

Thanks for watching...

[Letting Go]

I was thinking quite a while if I should write a review for this piece, since there really is nothing constructive I could say. The only thing I can say is that I really love this painting and can't stop staring at it.
The most beautiful thing about it is, that you put in your personal feelings and it truly shows. You even managed to trigger my brain to associate my very own experiences with it, which makes it somewhat painful for me to sit here looking at it. That however, isn't a bad thing but quite an unique accomplishment and a new experience for me, so... Thanks ^^

Best wishes and have an awesometastic day

Rhunyc responds:

Ahh, thank you much for the review, constructive or not. I really do appreciate it. ^^

I'm glad you can connect with it on some level, especially since in person I have a hard time connecting with others. I've gotten better at it lately, but with certain feelings I just feel is better if I try explaining them with art. It's nice to know other people are able to understand the message I'm putting out there and relate to it with their own experiences. ^^ Something I feel I'd have a harder time doing through words alone and in person.

Thanks again! :D

[Burgermeister vs Warlock]

Hello fellow earthling
First off, I really like the composition you chose for this one. The way you used the framing to make your villain come at the viewer is fantastic :)

I do think however this piece could benefit from some of your skills you've shown in your older ones. I see that you're quite good with cell shading and clean edges - That's what I'm missing here. If you chose some strategic places to put in hard edged shadows (in areas where there are stark plane changes or overlapping objects) you'd elevate the painting to the next level without much work. For instance the fingers and the eyes of the warlock would need some "cleaning up" of the soft shading to make them pop more.

Anyways, I hope this helps and wasn't discouraging (I'm always a bit afraid to put someone down and that's certainly not my intention).

I wish you the best of luck with the contest and hope to see more great stuff from you in the future.
Have an awesometacular day

MateusAbrantes responds:

Your feedback is way far from discouraging me. :) Maybe I'll make a second piece having your tips in mind. Thank you very much!

[Spaghetti]

Oh my, the Spaghetti Monster jumped on the Christmas Train ;)

Well, it's just fantastic!
The concept is unique, the colour choice wouldn't be obvious to me but works perfectly, the focus/defocus gives a real sense of motion and that Train is simply stunning!

I will for sure keep up with your work and don't want to miss the next genious thing you come up with ^^

Best wishes and have a traintastic day
