I like how it gives a nice "made in a cave" feel, but the lack of colors, as well as the amount of blur in all of it, makes it look rather dull, and a bit washed over, like I accidentaly put it in the wash with my clothes one day. and I can see in the description "To all those who think religion is bad." It's just that those words, to me, seem as though they should inspire one through bright colors and picturesque scenery; however, the colors don't do that justice. It's still a nice piece, and I can at least see the main picture. I hope you can make more in the future, never give up!

Yeah the lack of vivid colors and the fact that my camera made it blurry, kind of brought the pic down a notch will try again maybe at a closet angle.

Your drawing style is pretty good, though I see some strange depth on his left hind leg, to where the side of his body looks a bit too short, and with the background, I would've really liked to have seen an actual bog. Usually backgrounds don't really bother me, it's just that this guy looks sort of lonely just sitting there, but I find you did the colors very well, and I like the splatters of dirt on the underside, and something about the medium you used I actually kind of like (I'm pretty sure it's digital, but still, it looks good.) Anyways, looking through your other stuff, one thing I like about you is you don't seem to have one set drawing style, where I can just look at the icon and say, "Oh yes, this is a QueenSeason piece" but you seem to have 3 or 4 different drawing styles, changing the type of look on each one, and they always seem to fit well with the drawing. Trust me, the background doesn't bother me TOO much, it's just something that would've gone nicely with it, like A1 with steak.

QueenSeason responds:

Wow, this is a fair bit of critique. First of all I would like to say that I appreciate it!

I see what you mean about the legs though, the anatomy's definitely weird and not very practical on him. I haven't done much monster design for a while so I'll definitely be trying to plan designs out a bit better in the future.

In regard to my style, yes, I modify it slightly to fit the mood I'm trying to go for. I don't post everything here though, so I have a feeling you'd get a greater sense of recurrence (particularly cartoony/anime) if you saw them. I suppose in a way I'm still experimenting. Backgrounds are my absolute demise though. I really wanted to give this little fella one and gave up. If you know of any really great tutorials or guides I would appreciate a link because it's something I'd like to start incorporating. Some day I'll get it right I hope xD

Once again, thank you!

Has this weird jaw and lip, kinda making it look off. However, it can be simply overlooked and I guess you'd either have to pay too much attention to it, or somebody would have to say it for you to notice. And regardless, it's not enough to take away a star. The way you portray him is so good, that even had I not played the game, I still would've instantly wanted it. And another thing, I know it sounds kinda weird, but I would've kind of preferred a full body image, but still not enough to take a star, plus, you did what you could, and it turned out awesome. All my stars are belong to you!

Jerezz responds:

Thank you for your well thought out review.
The lip and jaw aggravated me as well, and after I put it up, I realized that it was kind of screwy. I would have done a full body drawing, only the parchment paper I had was kind of small, and I wanted to be able to put a lot of detail into it.
Thanks again!

It's good,

but something seems a little off with his legs. They're too skinny.

lol yeah, that's just my art style, but for this particular piece, it didn't look so good xD
thanks though :D
