They look super nice!
Tori has those excellent glasses effects going on again. I love them a lot! You also have some especially nice shading going on this one; I like how you've used the subtle shadows to draw out the details of her nose and neck.
Heather looks great! I really dig her photography vest, and you've done a nice job working with her unconventional hairstyle and making it look really slick. The implied breeze adds some great dynamism to the piece, making it work as a good island shot.
Helena looks so polished! You did a nice job with her collarbones, and I also like how her hair is mostly really carefully styled but there's that one loose strand that looks almost intentional on her part too.
I enjoy the more minimal glasses on Jake. You gave him kind of sharp features, which pair nicely with his spiky hair. I also like the way you did his hoodie; the colors compliment each other quite well.
Speaking of colors, Jill's background it so fun and dynamic! Something about her also just has so much attitude. I think it's the side-eye she's giving. I like how clearly defined the lines on her are, especially with her kind of polished look on the whole. The slight upwards tilt of her head is also a great perspective, especially with how you've captured her nose.
Murdoc looks so quietly smug, though not in a malicious way! I really like the way you've done his hair, with all the different shades of the ginger. His clothes also look so snappy! You've done a great job with the lapels, and the high collar of his undershirt also is quite nice.
Mina is great! I really like her freckles, and also how you got her hair nice and wild; it makes her look really distinct and dynamic! Similarly, I greatly appreciate how you've captured her vibe of, like, surly unhappiness. It fits her amazingly, and I think it's mostly pulled out with the subtle details around her eyes and the corners of her mouth.
Sydney looks all happy! I love it! I also love that we finally see Syd getting some love and respect, given his status in the lore. I totally forgot how young he was, but you actually did a great job honing in on that and making him look notably a couple years younger than the V3-onwards characters. And the green palette is looking good!
I don't know anything at all about Niniko but just from this piece I can make a few guesses. You got that classic manga villain look down
pat which fits the V1 tone beautifully. I also dig the greater detail on his eyes; it makes him come off as really intense.
I like the Peri/Dorian, especially how cute and gentle you made it (especially given my general impression of them is they're maybe kinda edgy? I dunno, I actually don't know much about them besides that their thread links make me sad by not using names). You put a lot of good attention into perspective and anatomy here, with Peri leaning over just a little. I like Dorian's ruffled shirt, and also his shy little smile. Very wholesome.
Ivan munching on his turkey leg or drumstick is great! The prop and the attention you put into how his cheeks are done just makes it so evocative. He looks like he's at the county fair they used to put on near where I grew up. The sketchier style also works really well with it.
Post-apocalyptic C girl looks like she's been through a lot! I appreciate how you made the bloodstains impactful but understated, and how much effort you clearly put into making her clothes ragged. At the same time, she wears it really well, and has an aura of determination about her, and I super dig how the bandages kind of morph from medical aid to accessory in places.
Prom Sierra is incredibly nice! She's so dapper! I'm very wowed by the vest, and also the color-coordination between shirt and hair; you really sold all the little details and made her extremely charming. And those buttons are great!
Alas, poor Amelia! The accessories and background here are great, but her expression really steals the show. I like how you've done the rare completely-from-the-front angle, which almost gives her a moony face. This couples with her eyelids and hair to make her just so polished as a piece. I love it!
I don't think Yuka's bad at all! She's a little less detailed, but you got her core features down in a very recognizable, iconic way—it's almost like a pop art version of Yuka. It's a good fit for her, too, since she has a few really standout features to funnel focus to (especially the hat and the hair).
Blood Boy is wonderful. I think the best thing here is that you got that sort of sad, misunderstood vibe, and while that's not necessarily what we
remember Blood Boy for, it's absolutely a big part of his concept/narrative DNA. And the muffled word bubble is beautiful.
Finally, you managed to give Viktor a really interesting aesthetic that captures his injuries without entirely dwelling on them. I like the plaid shirt, and I like the way his hair partially obscures his face. There's almost something Phantom of the Opera about it. You do a great job bringing sympathy to some of the more infamous faces of past versions, which is super cool.
You have once again knocked it out of the park with these! I am incredibly wowed by your talent and speed, and you are super generous to make these. You rock!
Also, I don't know if you're taking requests for the super charming emojis you've been making in chat, but if you are, can I ask for something for
Karen and
Jewel? Jewel's vibe is kinda scheming, smug, and sarcastic, while Karen's is more reserved, nervous, and quiet. No worries if you're not doing those right now. I love your stuff and am thrilled to see all your work either way!
