[Grey Catbird]

More talk about dead birds please.

daigonite responds:

Well it was fresh, when I saw it must have died within a few hours. I think it hit a window in the early morning. Its eyes were gone but otherwise it was still intact. It actually really helped with my drawings since I was able to handle a bird in different poses without hurting it or it squabbling around. Really interesting. A few days later, I think it was picked up by some kind of hungry animal, because I couldn't find it.

[The King Has Returned]

I'm a massive Cave Story fan, it's actually what inspired my to do pixel art. In turn, pixel art has done quite a bit for me so you can even say it has changed my life! Anyhow, this is a really great illustration. This is in fact probably my all time favorite piece of fan art i've ever seen for Cave Story. Why? Because you took a different approach to the characters and items and general direction. The fact that curly looks like a literal robot robot it a very nice touch to change things up. I also love the way you did King and even his sword, it's all really great. Keep this up!

[DON'T FEAR THE REAPER]

This is a beautifully executed picture.

The color scheme's range from top to bottom/bottom to top works nicely either way the viewer decides to read the composition. Speaking of the the composition, various broken down, abstracted shapes within the body of the reaper character read off as upside down triangular forms that collide with the upright triangular shapes of the mountains in the background, making one's eyes flutter up and down the body of the dark focal figure of the subject. What this naturally does is draws attention to the reaper's line work which leads the viewers eyes downwards to the colorful plane which most of the picture takes place. Minor details such as plants varying in size and the rock that leads into the background of the picture give a nice sense of depth along with the two rocks in the foremost corners at the bottom of the picture. It almost feels like one is looking at the reaper from a hidden point, giving the image some atmospheric value. Everything portrayed in this picture compliment each other perfectly.

I really admire your use of texture and small detail, personally. Im a sucker for the small things in pictures like little lines that draw and wave your attention around. For example the dark butterfly at the end of the reaper's scythe works perfectly, as you reach the end of the warmer hued object, a dark detail spans your attention right back to the main subject. This is also seen with the bone sticking out of the ground and the unicorn, similar values attracting each other creating view able relationships within the picture.

Use to texture is very very nice, adds both geometric and organic value to the picture. A final note about the composition is the linear transportation up and down the picture. The trip down is composed of color, relating things with dark hues, taking you down to a colorful space. Where your eyes are then shot right back up this time assisted by shapes. The trees, mountains, and clouds draw your eyes right back to the top, to start all over.

What i like most about this picture is that it runs your eyes in circles, each trip you make you will notice more and more detail.
