[Inktober 2019 - No. 3 - Yuki Onna]

Your artwork looks so lovely! Yuki-onna Madotsuki is absolutely adorable in your style. I'd love to receive a postcard like this.

[Bird Skull]

The texture here looks really great - makes me want to reach and touch the picture to feel it, though all I can touch is the screen of my laptop :( The colouring is pretty neat too.

Why thank you kind stranger

[Just Another Work Night]

Judging by his pissed off expression and how much mess he made, I can't help but think that by massacring these schmucks (RIP) Angel wreaked his fury on them... and still hasn't fully calmed down. Kinda wonder, who angered him so much?

It's really impressive you pulled this off while being ill. I love the dim lighting, little details (like Val stepping on the corpses hand, blood on his finger) and especially blood smears - they look quite natural here and they are fucking hard to paint. Respect *salutes*

TheDikTatorTot responds:

Yes! I feel like Angel is very good at bottling up his anger for long periods of time before he just can't handle it anymore, snapping and needing an outlet, be it drugs, drinking or violence. My thought process was that he used this job opportunity with Val to let loose some steam, and is still coming down from that anger. As far as his pissy look, Val got blood on him, and he hates having to do laundry haha.

And thank you! It was pretty difficult but It kept me sane while being super bored in bed. And I have been trying to get better at blood splatter/drip placement for a long time, the best way for me is to think about what happened with what wound, then think about how the blood would travel. (I watch allot of detective and CSI kind of shows lol as well as took criminology classes in highschool)

[Burning A Candle At Both Ends]

It's visually stunning - I like how the candle slowly emerges from darkness, floating ^^

BTW I didn't know this idiom and after googling it, I gotta keep in mind your advice from the description x'D

Jarrodjvandenberg responds:

Thank you very much! It's always been a good point and good saying.

[Astronomical Love]

Your work radiates with emotion and warmth, and bright colouring is just perfect here. I think I fell in love with this artwork <3

Jarrodjvandenberg responds:

Thank you so much!

[Still Gotta get Up In The Mornin]

The purple bruises on his neck and face stand in sharp contrast with the pink interior, and it breaks my heart. Poor spider ;_;

TheDikTatorTot responds:

Indeed. He is not having a good day.

["SMILE!"]

I really like the colouring here - especially the yellow light on the right side, suggesting that despite of all there's still some hope left; same for the colours of the dawn inside the shape of lotus. Speaking of the lotus, it's great to see all these symbols of peace and calm written inside it^^

I'm a little confused about the message though - is the man finally at peace? Or is he trying to achieve it by meditating about peace and thinking happy thoughts? To me, his smile feels more like he's trying to smile at his thoughts, not out of inner joy. But I may be totally wrong^^"

[Advent Banner]

It's so lovely! Truly reflects the hopeful spirit of Christmas <3

["Negative Thoughts"]

I love that you decided to show negative thoughts as colorful comic book illustrations; it makes very unique in my opinion. Beautiful work.

PS Joker is an amazing movie! *raises fist*

NurulAftab responds:

You are an amazing shoulder to lean on. Thanks!
Do give honest reviews, that will help me to improve my art more.

[Alastor]

Congrats on making his perpetual grin both cute and psychotic *-*
