[Over Justice Animated Fire]

The fire animation is pretty well done; very accurate from the show. Great job!

[a bunch of Bonnie]

Bonnie is my favorite character in the series of character drawings; but honestly, I love all of the characters you drew. I’m so excited to see what you’re gonna come up with in your webcomic; I mean, you’re a great artist and I think it’s going to look really, really good! Great job, you deserve five stars

[Paige's Doof-a-loof Character Sheet]

Whatever you draw is great, even if you draw the same thing over and over; and hey, I even do it. Sure, it gets tiring when you get repetitive and it’s good to draw something else for a change, but it’s actually good to repeat whatever you’re drawing; because the more you repeat, the more you get better at it. For example, I used to draw characters that are flat looking and I felt like I was doing something wrong, but then I realized that I have to do construction, perspective, proportions, redesigning, lighting, shading, etc. and the stuff that I learned make my characters and drawings look better. I will post some of my stuff soon; I’ve been busy working on something cool and I’ll be posting that on here as well, but I’m not going too much detail because I want to keep it as a surprise ;). Ok, now I’m rambling again. Anyways, great job as always and very solid character sheet. Keep at it and you’ll get better and better (but I you’re already better and even more than just better in my opinion.)

Haha whoa quite a response, lol thanks mang, appreciate it! I'll look forward to the new stuff you'll be posting ;)

[Thumbnail Sketches]

Man, your backgrounds are awesome; I mean, your mix with simplistic designs and the realistic colors, lighting, and shading is so dead on! You’re a really great artist; you deserve five stars!

I really love seeing this style from art and animation that has some realistic aspects mixed with cartooniness (or fantasy); where it captures the small moments in life, the details in the background, the realistic atmosphere, and the realistic behavior of the characters. I mostly see this style in anime or animesque stuff, but I don’t see it in stuff that’s not anime; it’s very rare to find stuff like this in western media and I wish they would try this style out more often. It’s nostalgic, it’s familiar, it’s believable and you did a really great job combining realism with a cartoony aesthetic.

[Hangin' In The Pad]

Fantastic job as usual! I love how detailed their bachelor pad is; with the little characters on the shelf and the poster on the wall. In fact, I used to draw detailed backgrounds like this; well, I still do but it’s a little minimal right now but I should get back to it. Ok, now I’m starting to ramble. Again as always, fantasic job!

mikemichaelmic responds:

Thank you so much!!! Yeah, designing all of that extra stuff was really fun. I'm aiming to have the final room design reflect the two girls personality as much as possible.

Also, yeah! It'd be cool if you did :) I'd like to see that!

[salute]

Dang, I’ve just looked at two of your OCs and I immediately became an instant follower! Your art style is really slick man! Great job! You deserve five stars and a follower!

[Paige; Redesign Process]

Oof, this is hard. All of them look really great; but I would pick with A or B. The redesigning looks great; awesome job! Keep up the good work!

mikemichaelmic responds:

Haha you're telling me? XD. Thanks though pal! Glad ya like it!

[Cirno]

So beautiful, so adorable. You have such a great art style. Fantastic job! You deserve five stars!

InfestedPear responds:

Adorable? Absolutely. The strongest? Definitely!

[Kiki's Trusty, Drunk Taxi Pal]

Oh my god! Your drawings keep getting better and better! Not only this one has great facial expressions, but this time it has great atmosphere. I don’t know why but this one feels nostalgic to me. I guess it’s the lighting or the background; I mean, they look really spot on as well. I don’t know, this one just gave me the feels. Just everything in this is fantastic as usual.

mikemichaelmic responds:

Ahhh you're too kind :). Thank you for the nice wordage! Yea I don't play around with colour and lighting enough, but I'm gonna be doing that whole lot more from now on. Thanks again!
