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?

ICam2k responds:

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.

All I wanted for Tankmas was more TheExtreamH art.
This is truly a Tankmas miracle!

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.

ShellySunshine responds:

I do too. Hudson Soft made some pretty great games, and it shows.

Many thanks for your comment!

Another Cami "quickie" huh? I can only imagine how intricate and detailed a non-quickie work of your art would become. Thinking something on the level of the Sistine Chapel but with Vector reaching out to Wario surrounded by hens.

I saw your Vector and thought "He's so fucking cool!" Decided to look up DJ Vector's official artwork from the game and... it's alright. I was more enthralled by the anger-looking cat girl in a Chinese dress. I guess you picked out a far better pose for him than Sega did. Maybe they need to look into having character-specific enthusiasts like yourself provide art for future games.

This seems like the perfect background choice... the, uh, CGA green monochrome displays from, like the 80s, I think? Yeah, I can see the appeal in that for a kid nowadays. My grandparents and great grandparents had all sorts of stuff that I never saw elsewhere growing up, so I became "entraced" at the sight of classic/metal toys, straw/cotton decorations, and furniture pieced together with slots and pegs rather than just glued and nailed.

The CPU problem was a thing with Mario Kart Tour, too. People don't wanna go online to play against AI.

ICam2k responds:

That idea sounds ridiculous yet tempting. I would probably do that on my birthday if I was crazy enough, but I don't know. Sistine Chapel's painting style seems a little overwhelming for me.
There are guds and duds here, but for the most part, the costumes are pretty neat. None of them feel overly detailed to the point they become an eyesore (like most gacha games) nor they're lackluster, so they get the job done. I still think DJ Vector is the best one in my opinion, but even I don't think he imediately trounces others' fashion sense.

I loooove the CGA too, even the monochrome ones. They look even more fascinating despite how people see them nowadays (although I'm more so with the C64, that one is like a whole different beast).

That's a problem for most phone apps with online play really and it usually happens even when there are some people tagging along. I would rather play even with just one player really, instead of having bots trail after me and spam their items all the time.

Without seeing the reference image you based this on (unless you just looked at yourself periodically in a mirror while drawing), I'm left guessing that you made the head slightly too big and the smile looks a little off... almost crazed. It's like you're biting down on your bottom lip and forcing yourself to grin for this. Always been a fan of short, messy hair on a woman. Surprised to not see any earrings or any other jewelry. The shading around the eyes makes you seem a little tired. I can definitely relate to that, if so. You hadn't posted much in a while, so I had been wondering how you were doing. Seems like you are well and I was worrying over nothing.

TrandafirTeodora responds:

Thanks.
I used a reference photo for this(the smile looks crazed because I forced myself to smile in that photo. I also have a bit of an overbite). I don't wear earrings and I usually don't wear other jewelry besides rings and necklaces. I'm definitely tired, so yeah. I was a bit down for a while, that's why I haven't been posting.
Edit: I've fixed the head, smile and eyes. I hope it's better now.

These two do seem to have a similar energy (and design), don't they? Never noticed it before.

FunkySquidd responds:

They do, indeed! I love em both but especially Misdreavus.
Thank you for still commenting on my art despite not having uploaded in years. I really appreciate that :)

Not much to type about this. It's precisely the sort of ending to an event one would hope to see. As for dialogue, I have a lot more respect for a comic that can deliver with as few words as possible. It's part of that "show don't tell" mindset, but, also, don't feel like you should add anything to a comic unless you feel it is necessary. Too much might ruin the overall message you want to send.

The hug at the end is really cute.

ICam2k responds:

I actuall don't plan to add too much dialogue because: 1 - that woud require me to think even more stuff to write in and that would kind be of tedious to think about word rather than visuals and 2 - the readers/viewers would already get the message through the gestures/actions the characters make anyway. The "show don't tell" method basically. I only plan on adding dialogues if there are jokes to tell, little banter or if there are situations that need some word, but not by much. Depends on the situation really.
Also thank you! The end is pretty much the one that took some effort really. (animes pulled the same stunt as well too, always effective)

We shall have PEACE! After war!

Frye has a look of accomplishment that I can appreciate as one whose job is clean and organize each night. Shiver looks like everyone else I work with. Most importantly, Big Man is unintentionally cosplaying Pizza from Chicory: A Colorful Tale and that brings me so much joy, especially considering both it and Splatoon include painting as the core part of their gameplay. This is arguably your "greatest artistic achievement" indeed! Now to listen to Gulp Swamp for an hour. Thank you for that.

Pretty embarrassing of me to have assumed that the captain was the main antagonist of Decap Attack prior to reading your description. I won't touch another point-and-click adventure unless I'm forced to, but I have no valid excuse for not playing DA. It's typically included in Sega Classics collections and I've always indulged myself in casual platforming. Sigh, well, I got three more Puyo games during a sale to finish first, but I suppose I can add that to my immediate list. Quit giving me new (but actually old) games to play, Cami.

The detail work is phenomenal (I made sure to zoom in on the picture a few times to better appreciate the piece) and the interaction between these two is quite appropriate. LeChuck has clearly embraced the horror aspect of his rotting existence far more than the other Chuck and the intimidation on display highlights that.

"Even though I have a feeling that this would barely get any attention due to the obscurity, I still like drawing stuff that I like." Hey, it's about bringing out the best in your talent and that is much easier to accomplish when you stick to what you enjoy most... obscure or not. Plus, the obscure stuff helps set you apart from others. For example, I followed you for Adventure Island art... not for Splatoon.

ICam2k responds:

Don't worry, I won't force you to play point & clicks, I am forcing you to play Decap Attack.
Jokes aside, What other three games have you gotten play now?
Can't help it if I dig up treasure, I always keep wondering. heheh

I'm probably repeating this everytime I get compliments like this, but thanks again. I think I remember constantly recoloring certain parts just to make them pop out just right.
For a villain like LeChuck who acts more like a grumpy pirate captain but is in fact an actually feared threat by many around him because of how much power he's got (for his men and the fact that he's literally undead) really says a lot. He's no doubt the best part of the game (both I and II) in my opinion. He's evil because he feels like it and you better respect that.

Admittedly, the obscure stuff comes in quite rarely (especially nowadays) and it's usually when I find something that's intriguing enough. Still though, when I do find it, I go out of the way to show that out (even with my limited ability to describe them), even if it means that it stil gets brushed aside by majority. Still though, the few who not only get the appeal of the game that I made the fanart of, but actually go out to play them afterward mean the most to me. So yeah, thank you so much. Made me crack up a smile here.
