[Desert God]

Your style is awesome, that´s all that I can say. It´s unique and interesting. Keep it up! =D

Just a side note though...eht noitpircsed evord em enasni! DX

AntonOxenuk responds:

Thank you! And sorry about the insanity issue :)

[Pin-up Stella]

It's a good piece! I like the overall drawing, it feels "unified" or whatever it's called. i like that you got the hands to look good and that you can clearly see how they're bent and held. The only thing I personally felt was a bit off, was that she feels just a tiny bit squashed at the legs, like they're to short or something =S

But overall, great work and keep it up! =D

Mackie85 responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I will continue to post more of my work in the future.

Wow, looks like stills from a Disney movie. I really like you art! I want to become as good as you one day. Thanks for the inspiration. =)

FarturAst responds:

Thats great. I always watching for greater artist to be as great as they are so i am honored that you choose me to go the samurai-way of an artist :)

[No Coffin]

It´s a really good comic even though it´s really close to what Dane Cook says in his joke about the atheist guy who when he dies, wants to come back as a tree and Dane says that he hopes the guy comes back as a tree and then they cut him down and make him into paper and print the bible on him. Really well done, even the coincidental similarities.

ToonHole responds:

Never heard that joke before but I like it!

[Think To What]

Love your art style FrostDrive. Nice colors and very nice body of the girl. With that I mean that the proportions are right. Nice going =)

FrostDrive responds:

Thanks man.
I need to respond to the rest of your reviews. lol

[Fantasy-Virus]

I´m just stunned by some of the details here. I´m an aspiring artist myself and I always look for talented people to talk to and to share points of interest. I just wanted to know how you think when you do chrome? I mean the helmet of the knight is just wonderful. Do you have a special trick or how did you study to get the "illusion" of chrome? The second thing I wanted to know is if you used only a brighter color of red on the platelet on the left, in the middle, or did you use some orange? I do have a good eye for color, without braging to much, but I can´t seem to be able to make that out.

The reason I ask a lot and don´t comment the piece much, is because there is nothing I can comment on. The lightning is nice. The details are good. The characters seems well drawn for being fantasy figures, so I tried for 10+ minutes to find something to make into constructive critic, but couldn´t do so.

Hope that you have the time to explain. =)

PS. If my text seems all weird and buggy it´s because I use a Swedish keyboard and it seems to happen on Newgrounds only, so if that´s the case I´m sorry. =(

FarturAst responds:

I am working with photoshop and my workflow consists of a lot of layerstyles and brushoptions. The firt thing you have to think about is where you set the most highlight ( this comes from the light right above.) The other reflections came frome the red colour around the area. I use some custome-brushes to do a bit structure on the helmet. After siting the groundcolours i use a soft roundbrush in colour-dodge brush-adjustment and take the opacity down on 30 procent. I take the orange middle-light and then i am trying to use the brush on the helmet as long as i got the effect i like. ( You have to do it restrained to not overload the effect)

The red colourpalette in the background is a red-orange-purple colourmix. The last step i do in a painting is to create a new layer with a dark colour(in this case the dark purple you see here in the shadows) in brighten up-layer-effect. After merging all the layers i go into adjusmtens->levels and play around with all the colour-adjustments to find a great mood.

[Tree Comic]

I know what will help him...

MEEEEDIC!!!!

No just kidding. Its a nice little piece and I´m sure if I looked at it while really tired I would bust some laughter.

I´m just wondering, how did you do the background change?

FrostDrive responds:

Tedious color changing.

[Cristo Butt]

It´s funny XD

It´s simple yet funny somehow. I think it´s that the picture is hard to read. Like what is it? I think it´s an tooth or a rear end or a sandwich but who will relly know for sure? XD Nice piece actually =)

FrostDrive responds:

It's actually the guy from these animations. http://cristo.newgrounds.com/
