There's so many little details! I originally assumed this was pixel art until I zoomed in and marveled at all the colors and decorations and whatever you did to Big Man. He's stunning.
"Is it wrong if I say that this one's another favourite of mine despite its rough spots?" It'd be wrong if you didn't say this was one of your favourites!
You're not wrong about assuming that this was "pixel art". I tend to draw characters rather small in higher scale artworks like this. heh
Really glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way because it performed rather poorly compared to my other artworks in other sites, even on dA. Such is the nature of the algorithm.
One of my old dogs was like this when I introduced her to snow. Stood there and looked at me. I had to go back inside, grab a shovel, and clear away a spot for her to squat. Snow would cover the area again, and I'd have to repeat the process. Not sure who's going to clear away a spot for Rust without the owner around. I always appreciate art that brings back fond memories, so thank you for that.
Not much of a change from the previous drawing of Rust. If anything, one might consider it a little less ambitious due to the simpler, more neutral pose that highlights very little interaction with the snow day that this image is titled after. Still, Rust is super adorable and I am very much a sucker for canines of all sorts. Hopefully, both you and Rust will have a warm and delightful Christmas this year.
i'm glad i got to bring you back some memories with this.
this completely neutral pose of just standing and staring is the only way i could think of him reacting to snow without being out of character, and i didn't want to work with anyone else because they get too much attention from me already. i appreciate you having more than 2 words to say about my art, and i hope you have a better christmas than me because i always get sick in december for some reason.
(i'm most likely fine)
You're posting more Christmaugust art... but in December?!
I do love the "half-baked" background stuff and it took me a few minutes to realize those two behind Big Man were palette-swapped appearances of Shiver and Frye. I do not get any of the references but I'm glad you didn't add any Easter eggs. That's a completely different holiday altogether.
Ooops! Guess I should've bought myself a calender. (or maybe my phone is outdated)
Awww, you love "half-baked" bgs too?? Your're awfully kind! I don't mind these bgs either, as long as they look pleasing in the eye. Assuming they aren't the kind that rely on rainbow barfed out on every corner, anything goes.
Cephalopods are capable of changing colours and textures of their skin (with the slight exception of squids, but inklings can still do that, so I guess it doesn't matter). That's why I'd like to call them "sea chameleons". Aka, pretty much my favourite thing that these beings can do. It brings some extra punch to some of my drawings in which other characters are unable to do besides fashion change.
Most of them are based on various sea creatures displayed here (for instance, the sea angel). I'd like to add the ones from the series, but again, good enough is still good.
DMA giving The Mewx the big succ seems like something that deserves a more mature rating. Less importantly, how far did this phenomenon extend? Is the house still there at least? If not, should the rest of us be worried?
You should be worried. Refer to these with how dangerous he is lol

No clue what My Singing Monsters is... *looks it up* I now possess a clue as to what My Singing Monsters is. Ghazt seems a little... creepy. Your change to its eyes and the simple greeting gesture really softens the appearance. Makes it far more approachable and arguably cute.
thank you for giving me an actual review. i never get enough of those.
I "wonder" if this was inspired by the giant Mario scene from the Koop-zilla episode of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. I also wonder how they tie their shoes like that... among other issues.
I completely forgot about this episode (along with the Red hood one) while working on this drawing until now. Which is odd, I remember watching the entirety of Super Show on Youtube too, including the live skits. To be frank though, pretty much the majority of the Mario series as we know IS inspired by Super Show, so anything goes.
Fresh Halloween content is appreciated all year round and this group seems to represent the three major groups of the holiday - Big Man's the happy treaters you feel inclined to give extra treats for their enthusiasm as they stand at your door. Shiver's the bunch who want to dress up and decorate for scares, but sometimes they take it too far, too. Frye's neither scary nor cute, so she's clearly on the "mature" team who use this as an excuse to cosplay... for reasons. Clearly, I would join Big Man's group on this one.
Frye felt to dress for the spirits. Splatoween spirits it seems.
That being said, same same. May have joined mostly for the Splatfest teams presented (went with the Ghosts between Zombies and Skeletons and guess what, they were winners, yes.) but also because BigMan's costume was just too cool. Simple, but still cool.
This guy reminds me a little of Spawn and The Maxx. I don't know anything about Jack, but visually he makes a fantastic first impression. No wonder you wanted to redraw him.
Jacks an original character of LeHatt, yea his design really stuck on me.
Shiver looks amazing, despite not being the favourite, but her pose is rather bland... safe. She may be level headed, however, she is still an idol and it's important for her to convey that with something more dynamic... more intimate for the viewer.
What's the significance of the 8th day of "this" month?
Eh, don't worry. She'll get her chance to do so by the time I'll post an another artwork (even though she's not alone in that one)
National Octopus Day. I thought It was pretty funny when I heard about that at first (there's also the Bear Day too), but at the same time, I thought it would be a nice challenge to draw characters for that day's theme specifically.
Never played a Mario Party other than the first one... gave myself a blister playing that. Good stuff (the game. not the blister) but I see a Shine Sprite from SMS and, shockingly enough, "Hudson Soft" in the description. I do love myself some old Hudson Soft content. I'm also a big sucker for warm, bright colors. A very strong first impression for this site. Thank you, Miss Shelly... or Miss Sunshine... or SS.... I'm just gonna stop now.
I do too. Hudson Soft made some pretty great games, and it shows.
Many thanks for your comment!
