[Dungeons & Dragons Monsters 3]

The Owlpanda has to be a thing. Make it happen WotC! (Or whoever is in charge of DnD these days, I'm totally out of the loop.)

Awesome interpretations as always!

SanyaUmbra responds:

Thank you vary much! I also made a redpanda variant, but it's just a palette. It's still WotC in charge but....their inside situation seems a little chaotic right now.

[Homebrew Monsters 2]

Goblin Ranger. Love it. "I see what you did there" etc. etc. Another batch of awesome designs!

SanyaUmbra responds:

It was a sign from the gods. I couldn't ignore it.
And glad you liked them!

[Across the river]

Oh wow, this is fantastic! The intricate linework makes all the details truly shine - a lot of care, precision and love went into every line, and it shows. Great work!

KarboFelarya responds:

Thank you ! :)

[Blind Maiden's Pilgrimage]

Disarmingly beautiful scene. The sky is pristine, and along with the white field and solitary character it radiates serenity. This is one of those things I will purposefully seek out because I like how I feel when I look at it. Terrific work.

messyhideout responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :3

[Tigor]

Love this, would make an awesome sticker or tattoo.

BennyBogus responds:

oo thats an idea i might use

Always up for reading comics, so I decided to check yours out after you posted it in the forums. Overall, this is solid work. You succeeded in telling a self-contained story in these eight pages, so kudos for that - it can be a difficult thing to get right. Art-wise, your characters have good anatomy. Their faces seem to be inspired by anime, especially the eyes, and at times this leads to some awkwardness, like you're trying to force the anime eyes instead of working them naturally into your style. My most important piece of art feedback is related to setting: most of these panels feel like they're happening in a vacuum. Environments/backgrounds really do wonders in comics, and I encourage you to invest some time and effort into incorporating them more - trust me, it makes a huge difference. Keep on making comics and good luck with your future work!

Potartz responds:

Thanks for your honesty!

Somehow I hadn't realized how important setting actually was, even though, for example, Gotham City is half of why I love Batman comics.

I've also really struggled to figure out what my style even IS, so maybe it's time I bite the bullet and hash it out?

[Firefly]

Gorgeous! Your own art style seems well suited for an animated feature film - I'd certainly be happy to see it.

MicroBihon responds:

Thats the goal, tho i really want to do comics haha

[be not afraid]

Now that's awesome. Love how the eyes don't really look like eyes, but rather black holes into oblivion. Killer background too!

AngieMyst responds:

thank you! I thought about adding reflections to the eyes but thought making them look like holes would be spookier

[Lily of the Valley]

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a lily-of-the-valley in person, which is strange because you see it all the time in children's picture books in my part of the world. Beautiful work, I find that the colors and the softness/roundness of the lines really give the flowers a delicate feel.

Damare-Draws responds:

thank you so much for your nice comment!
I hope you get the chance to see them in real life one day <3

[Dungeon & Dragons Monsters 1]

These look incredible! I don't think I've ever had to take on any of them in a DnD setting, but I do remember flicking through the Monster Manual which was always my favorite DnD book. I have to say, wouldn't mind seeing this illustration style in the official book.

SanyaUmbra responds:

There are a pretty high difficulty monsters or...the animated shrubs. I also think I never fought one. Maybe just the shrub.
But anyway thank you so much for the compliment! I'm glad that my interpretation was of your liking!
