[me in chibi]

Kewt

It's a really cute peice, that's for sure, but it's not too chibi.

Let's see if I can explain what I mean:
Seeing as this is supposed to be a chibi, it could be a bit cuter. Chibis often have larger eyes and heads in proportion to their body, though it's not necessary of course. Eyes should have more of a shine, and the ones on this one looks more evil than cute, due to them being completely black. The character also looks like he's in shock.

Still, it looks really professional. You've done really good with the shading and the shine from the lights, and it's not hard to tell where the source of the light is. I also really like the detail you've used on it, especially on the mouth. Looks quite good.

Other than that, I haven't much to say. It's a bit simple, only, and not cute enough, but it's still a very good piece.

[Late At Night...]

Looks like something I could do.

A really cool drawing. Your personal style really shines through on this one.

It does look a bit rushed, even for your style, maybe you should've given yourself another two minutes on it. Anyway, on to the review:

I'd like to say there is a lot of detail here, in a relative perspective, of course. You've got books, a computer, your desk, chair and some shelves, and you can even see where the floor ends and wall starts, which I've had problems doing in some of your other pieces.

Again, I love your use of colours. I'd guess you used blue for a base and then painted on top of that, with different shades of the colours. I really like the colouring done on the wall, though I have to admit that there is a bit too much overflow on this one.

The character, I'm guessing it's you, looks really tired. Seems like he's holding a pen in his left hand, but I might be wrong. It doesn't really look like he's sitting, but that the chair is painted on him. His head also looks like you're in the Exorcist, Turned 180 degrees. Looks somewhat unnatural. There's also some transparency where I can see the shape of the computer, which you probably should do something about that.

Other than that, I like the feel of the picture. Even though you look tired and it's supposed to be late at night, your paintings always make me feel happy. Maybe you could add a window showing that it's late at night (Dark sky, stars, moon?) to this one?

this is a real thing of my room...no windows exepct behind me, also i laughed at this bit: "His head also looks like you're in the Exorcist" ummm what else can i say...that pen is a bamboo tablet pen

[Surprise]

It's not bad

Not your best piece, but it's still not bad, and pretty fun. As always.

Your style is great, and I love the colours. I also like how it seems like you tried to do some shading, but that might just be due to your overflowing colour-style, or the transparency.

About that, you should not have the transparency so high. Right now I can see the brick wall through the robber, and it doesn't look very good. The wall also looks out-of-place, as it doesn't look much like your style.

His face doesn't look too surprised, and he looks sort of innocent, which makes me wonder if he really is a robber or just mistaken for one. Either way I like the way you did his face and hair.

Also, maybe add a shadow? Seeing as the light is pointed at him?

[Mr.McGee]

Oh, good, a belly button!

A great piece that works as a counter to Fatty McGee!

I'm guessing my reviews are getting somewhat repetitive by now, seeing as it's pretty much the same stuff I praise every time. I love the way you colour stuff. I see you've used the dark blue of the sky as a base here, and then filled in on top of that. It looks good as always, your sloppy style, but it almost looks like you've forgotten the pants. The colour is VERY similar to that of the background, and you can see the grass through it. Might want to change the colour on that one.

I see that he's eating the moon, while Fatty McGee was feeding the sun. It looks like an older version of Fatty, and a hungrier one as well. Funnier if you've seen both of them!

Other than that, I can't think of much else to say. Other than, is that a tattoo of McDonalds French Fries? This guy's really enthusiastic about his junk food.

up-a-notch responds:

no that's not a tattoo...that's frying sticking out of his pants! And I thought you of all people would notice that his shirt says buffet while Fatty's says food, also this is fattys dad...so it does look like fatty a little

your review rank

9.9/10 (because it's not as long as the normal) also if you read this pm me :)

[Long Legs]

Must be a pain buying new shoes.

This is more like it. This is your style all the way, it looks really fun and great, in general!

The entire feel of the drawing is rather sad or at least dark. But then again, when you look towards the top, where she is, it looks a lot brighter, like everything is fine and dandy where her head is, but as you go down her long, long legs, things start going bad.

I also like the pattern you've used in the back. I'm not sure what it symbolizes or what the effects are, but it looks really good, and enhances that eerie feel.

And of course, the character. She looks really good and unique. The large eyes and skinny body making her look very innocent. I rather like the character design.

And there's the recurring apple in all of your pieces. Does it symbolize something?

Merol responds:

THANKS A LOT!!!

I actually don't know how to response but saying THANKS!!

And the apple symbolizes that apples are cool!!!

[Alone]

Such carelessness.

Not as good as the other piece I reviewed, but still really a great drawing.

Your style is rather simple, and somewhat unoriginal. You don't add much to it, but what you lack in style you make up for in... well, I couldn't say surreal for this picture, but it's a woman in a towel dropping a book in a rive with floating apples and a cut-down tree in the back. There's just so much to look at.

But I still think it looks somewhat simple, especially the character, the woman. It might just be my taste, but I'd rather see something out of the ordinary that isn't really too good, than something that looks rather good but isn't too original.

Merol responds:

Yeah, I know the picture is pretty simple, also I think that the ground could be much better, I mean, it looks too flat.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAN!!!

[Sea in a Coconut]

Amazing, rich!

What a great piece of art. I have to say.

Such a simple, surreal drawing, it's really amazing. The use of colours really sucks the viewer straight in, and the use of details in the background, it gives me something new to see every time I shift my eyes.

I'm guessing there's a story to this, with the couple in the half coconut drifting on the sea. Seems like they're lost at sea. I also like the little references, like the volleyball.

The mosaic effect you've used on the sky is really special, it adds someting to the entire piece. I also like that dark event unfolding in the back. Possibly a ship taken by the kraken?

I can't find anything negative to say about this piece. Wow!

Review Request Club

Merol responds:

I actually don't think about them as a couple, they are more like complete strangers for me, well, they were complete strangers before being lost in a coconut.

Yeah, it's a kraken, and he's attacking two ships actually.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Boring 101]

Not rushed.

I don't care if you used 20 minutes. It's not rushed, it's just your style. You could've spent a year on this piece and it'd still be somewhat like this.

I don't like this one as much as your other pieces, simply because it doesn't look completely like your style. There isn't any detail to this one, at least compared to the old ones. The character looks good enough, but the background isn't the style it usually is, it's just really plain. Also, the text, BORING 101, is really boring, because you simply used a text edit to add it, rather than writing it by hand. This also ruins your style a bit.

Other than that, it's a pretty simple piece, with soem humour in it. I get that you're not too fond of math, eh?

no i am not fond of math...also of this picture either...it was the byproduct of mrtys reviews

[Fatty McGee]

Funny!

Your style is just too cute.

As with your other larger pictures, with a background and a character, you've used one colours as a base, which seems to be the blue sky-colour. I like the way you outline everything, the prominent black lines are really good with your style.

I also still like your colouring, the way you not only fill it all in, but also do it sloppily, making it look sort-of childish. I like it.

The character could've been fatter, right now it just seems like he's wearing small clothes. The sun is funny, looking like it just took a piece of the chocolate. It also looks a bit more sloppy than usual.

thanks, i like you because you like my art :D (best reviewer ever :P) and i don't want the guy to be a sumo! Please review my newest piece (not to be begging or anything)

[John Lennon]

Don't listen to mrty

Some people just don't appreciate your style.

This isn't your best work, it isn't. It seems to be a mix between an actual portrait and your sloppy, childish style, which has grown on me.

As usual, you've filled in with different shades of each colour, and you've gone somewhat out of the lines. I like this in your art.

What I don't like about this particular piece is his nose, which looks simply wrong, when compared to the rest of the piece. The same goes for his mouth. The little shading you've tried to do on the sides of his face, doesn't really work out all that well.
