This is really cool. As I've said, it's also awesome to see that you're always improving.
And frontpage, awesome, grats!

Araelyn responds:

I always love your texture layering, baller.

Araelyn responds:

Thanks broseph. You're the besssssssssssssssst. :3

[Playing the violin at night]

Nice!

I really like the natural tones and textures, and the way that the purples and yellows balance with the glows and lighter areas to unify the whole thing. I was glad to see this frontpaged... it reminds me a lot of the Tortov Roddle shorts, one of my favorite series and originally done in flash, oddly enough.

Oelbachtaucher responds:

well so the animations of Tortov Roddle seem to be nice. Maybe I should watch them somewhen. Thanks for your nice comment :)

yuss

Yeah I do definitely like the way the plainness and sort of unimpressed timidness of the expression works to give exactly the feel you described, the simplicity of the way it's stylized really works great too. It kind of reminds me of the art style from Ghost World, or what I vaguely remember of it.

Pretty cool. This is one of the better level collab submissions IMO, too bad you cant keep the red background for it but it at least it still works on the white.

Aigis responds:

Well, as far as I know it's going to have a red background in the final thing. Only the red background will be the evil aura that you see on the levels.

RADICAL

This reminds me a bit of your self-portrait, as well as tekkon kinkreet, and mononoke (the series, not the movie). I like how the tentacles also have the same rhythm as the smoke, and again the use of texture layering, etc. It looks like you're really improving, you should keep pushing this style because it seems to be working for you.

Araelyn responds:

I haven't done a self-portrait yet o_O
Maybe you're thinking of the crinkly one with the girl that I drew on here? Or whaaaat?
Thanks so much though! Glad to hear that I'm improving :P

[RYU AND KEN]

Thumbs up

Probably the best of your stuff on NG so far, I really like the harder graphic (stroke-like) outline that you use to set your characters off from the backgrounds, in this as well as some of your others.
Most of all I find that the action gesturing with the brushwork really works here, especially in ken's fireball.

ts3ts3 responds:

Thanks for the comments. For this I used a brush and ink when i drew it. I guess you can tell.

[Mr. Bernard Berkeley]

hahaha

WTF, so demented in a subtle way. I like it.

Araelyn responds:

Thank you! Demented is my middle name!
Well, actually I have two middle names, the other one is Insane.
