[The Ultimate Orgy]

Had it stuck in my head all day

This flash is amazing; I can't help but feel that a few people seem to have missed the concept with the "OMG THAT WUZ SO GAY!" and "Make one with chicks next time!" comments.

The lyrics are hilarious, the animation is fluid, and there's so much detail in there that you notice something new with each viewing.

As a regular visitor to your site, I now expect to see some Corey the Erotic Armadillo comics. I'm sure Cuthwald would love him.

[Gone Too Far Too]

Love the details

After watching it I went back through and read all the little slogans and tomb stones; "The Radio Star"... *laughs heartily and wipes away a tear*

I loved how smooth the animaiton was, how well the action lined up with the content of the song, without being too obvious (like when the lead zombie shakes his head and says "yeah" in regards to the BBQ). It was also very impressive that you managed to convey so much emotion in the kid's face despite the fact the shape of his mouth was fixed because he was wearing a mask, very well done.

All in all, two thumbs up. I'd give you three but my shipment of plutonium hasn't arrived yet.

[Gretel and Hansel Part 2]

Torch Glitch

I received the torch by doing the carving puzzle and it was in my inventory, but when I used it i was "greedy" and I died. When i reloaded my save to try again, the torch was no longer in my inventory and it won't let me redo the puzzle to obtain it, so now I can't finish it.

[Recordshop Tycoon]

Love it :D

The only real critique I can give is that once you have the maximum amount of furniture in your store it becomes very difficult to reshuffle things. Would it be possible to add a "swap places" type feature? To save having to sell an item and mvoe things then rebuy it. I do understand that having a penalty for bad planning is an incentive to plan ahead, but I want the easy route so I can swap my demo stations around ^_^

[Amuse Park]

Loved this

I have been playing it for hours. I agree with previous poster though that perhaps an instructions page would be useful with a listing of faces and what they mean.

For reference, the red faces mean that the person is hungry and needs to visit a food shop.

As for how to expand, perhaps have different locations on a map and have attractions specific to the area you're in? Like, maybe have a waterpark type thing in a hot country and more rollercoaster-type things in a colder country? Can't really think of anything original, all my ideas end up sounding like theold ThemePark for the Sega.

All in all though, brilliant game so far, I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

[A Good Day]

Maybe because of the way you draw?

Some criticism, starting from the top:
- the fluff of bangs at the front of her hair just looks like you doodled a few lines to hide how deformed the hand is underneath
- where is the rest of the arm behind her head? Unless it's curled at a very odd angle more of it would be visible somewhere
- the anatomy of her neck and shoulders is a bit messed up. She doesn't appear to have a collar bone on her left arm, and, since the angle of her chest implies she's arching her back a little, her neck would be thinner and more shadowed
- her breasts are defying gravity; I get that you're trying to make her look pert and sexually appealing, but nipples just do not sit that high up on the breast, and if she's not wearing a bra then the only way to get cleavage like that is with a very botched boob job
- the line of her waist, hips and pelvis is not a pleasingly smooth curve, it's a very bumpy line. And why is the crease of her pubic are higher on her left than on her right?
- the reflection in the water isn't a true reflection as it misses off her skirt and bag and reflects her abdomen, and part of the blue line detail in the water actually goes over the top of her in the full size version

I didn't write all that because I'm trying to be a jerk, I wrote it because you seem to have an attitude problem and need to be shown the flaws in your work that make people rate you lower. It isn't a beauty contest, the artwork in the portal isn't rated based on how attractive the girl is, it's based on how well she's drawn. You could draw an extremely ugly woman but if you had clean linework, good body proportioning and nice colouring/shading then your score would reflect that. Drawing an attractive woman badly doesn't mean you deserve a score of 9 or 10.

So before you dismiss other artists' work as being "crap quality... with fugly chicks", please actually take a long hard look at your own abilities and compare them to the technical abilities of aforementioned "fugly chicks". I would probably have been more polite in my review of your piece if you hadn't walked in with such an attitude.

And to save you the effort of calling me gay or some insult of that ilk, I'm a woman.

Monopolyguy03 responds:

Well... it's not supposed to be realistic, was supposed to be more of a mixture of realism with anime... as you would know in your art. And you might realize that she's tilting sideways, and alot of what you say is more banter on my attitude...
You seem to have a problem, but it doesn't seem to be pointed at me but the fact that I am irritated at critism that I don't accept. Is this reflected at your issue also? Do you need a hug in the fact people don't recognize you as an artist? Did you see any of my other art? Do you really think I am imature to call people gay? I have a gay friend and he calls people Fags cuz gay has the meaning of "Being happy" I don't think you are happy writing this.. so I wouldn't use that term... but THank You for your post.

[mage concept]

Lol at the guy below me

I like how you comment on the inappropriateness of her heels, yet say nothing about the fact her vision is obscured by her hair, that she will have to be careful not to bust out of her shirt, and that she isn't so much wearing a skirt so much as a carefully-placed scarf. Since when did fashion have to be functional?

I really like this piece, especially the contours of her body. It's refreshing to see an artist add folds of skin where the clothing moves the flesh rather than just making the character stick thin (particularly when it's a female), and I love the contours in the musculature of her knees.

Only criticism really is that the folding of the skirt on her right looks al ittle off. Where the lighter blue band attaches to the darker material it looks a little flat, it feels like there should be a bit of thickness to the material, even if it's meant to be quite flimsy. And the fact that that side of her skirt is flayed and her hair is being tousled is also confusing when you consider that the central part of her skirt is just hanging straight down, surely that would be being blown about also? Perhaps being blown flush to her leg a little more?

Other than that I love the shading, particularly on her top. Overall a very aesthetically pleasing piece to look at. :)

[9 to 5]

I recognize the way you draw lips...

... I seriously need to stop watching Last Resort. I'm not sure that I fully understand the symbolism at work in this piece, but that kjust means that I want to look at it for longer to try and get as much out of it as I can. As usual, it's visually disturbing but in a subtle way.

My only criticism is about the colouring; it feels as though there is a bit too much colour for it to be properly monochrome, yet there isn't quite enough of it for it to /not/ be monochrome. Perhaps dulling down the red of Mickey's trousers would help to drain some of the colour, or going the other way and adding more litter or some colouring in the native's clothing could balance the distribution out a little more. Just as it is it feels like it missed the mark a little at either end of the scale.

SpamClamberton responds:

Thanks, it was actually intentional that the tribal guy and the hut in the cage were monochrome and the rest wasn't, so I probably should've made the background brighter and more colourful so that was more evident. Unfortunately I still wanted the background to be dull and depressing, so I kinda dug a hole for myself.
