[Self-Potrait]

See the dabbling in animation :)

EDIT: oh, whoops. That's cool :).

Winkwing responds:

Been doing that for a while.

[Tough As Nails]

I agree that the warm colors work well and pop out with the white. The green would have been a little distracting.

Not sure what is happening with the dinosaur's hind legs. I only see the thigh and it seems to disappear. Overall, it's a little too tight near the bottom of the image, and everything seems to overlap with other things. If you could allow the body to snake down more the lower body could be more clear with a stronger silhouette.

ExtinctionArts responds:

Yeah i see what your saying. The thigh that I think you see is just it's arm bending towards itself. I probably should have been more clear with that lol. Also I didn't want the design to get TOO convoluted (since it was already tight) with lines that could blend with other parts of the line work so i opted to just leave the legs out, I thought that If it was on someones skin then its lower half would have been a big mess of shit haha.

Love hearing your feedback on everything so thank you :)

[Up On a Snowy Mountain]

Is that your crow character? He looks either confused or energetic.

Winkwing responds:

Yes that is me.
Send help I am confused and scared and I have no clue how I got up here.

[Art]

Were they happy to see the final result?

It looks really cool, and there's a lot about the design that works well to fill in the space and give a chill mood. Despite the few number of colors, the piece feels colorful and full. The definition on his hands and the middle of his face are nice, and contrast with the block coloring of the rest of his body and his glasses.

AlesBrewery responds:

The response I got to this piece really astounded me! They’ve put it up on a test version of the website, and it looks great. Thank you very much for the feedback

[Magic window]

How do you capture such subtle movements with the pixels? The whole piece feels alive.

aleha84 responds:

thats the point. Make artwork looks alive.

[Storm Ruler]

I personally think the wind effect is pretty cool; it looks both smooth and chaotic with how it wraps around the blade.

The acrylic makes the sword really pop from the background. Also, the patient effort of the hatching almost colors the blade with a grey.

Amazing :D .

ExtinctionArts responds:

Thank you friend :)

[Among the Wildflowers]

I like the presentation as well as the artwork. Those paper stars, I made them all the time. Amazing work!

Melisaura responds:

yes! i made them myself too :P thanks!

[Spindra]

Spindra has a cool design, and I like the colors you chose for her. There's also that ominous glow emanating from her, giving a sense of power. The proportion are also pretty good.

There are a couple perspective things you could improve on, such as the head shape and the tail. Also unsure about where her lower jaw is.

Nice work as usual :) .

EDIT: I can see the cute/creepy look

Slimera responds:

Thanks, yeah I know the head shape is not right lol Im trying to get out of the massive head thing also that missing jaw isnt missing at all its right there her mouth is sowed shut because her jaw is rotten and falling off hence the whole undead chimera part. Yeah My perspective needs quite a bit of work lol.

Edit: that aura around her is actually her sketch lines I kept them in because I thought it looked great (plus it was how I got the rotten flesh look for her lower jaw)

Plus I think I nailed the creepy cute vibe I was going for what do you think?

[Later Gator]

Wow. That's an interesting process, and the final result has really cool gradients. The curvature and the way you drew the alligator is flowing and adds a liveliness to the design.

There are some strange things happening with the alligator legs and tail. Also, the thumb on the left hand goes inward, while the thumb on the right hand goes outwards. Not sure if that's impactful to the overall design though.

ExtinctionArts responds:

Thanks. You're right. it's right hand thumb does go outward and I overlooked that lol. That should be okay though since old flash art from the 40's and 50's were made quickly without much thought. But you are right haha I wish I saw that earlier.

[Floaty Boi]

Hope he can get down.

Wait, I thought you were going. What's happening?

Winkwing responds:

I said it was possibly my last post.
