[sleeping beauty]

Amazing use of symmetry! Can't imagine what went into the color choices within her hair.

sylvrn responds:

Thank you! I actually used a nifty trick for the hair colours—I sketched it out, put the base brown down, then used a colour-jittery sparkle brush I made on a divide layer to get some neat colour variation, then merged the layers and painted from there! I also made a brush that just drags the colour you touch, so that I wouldn't have to use the eyedropper tool (which can get tedious on procreate) ( ˙꒳​˙ )

[Comm 3/3 Q4 2023]

Really impressed by the composition of this, interesting movement across the frame for a pinup.

rosiki responds:

Every time I think you've drawn the spookiest face you can draw, you somehow manage to top it with an even spookier one

SketchMeNot responds:

Ahhhhh oh man dude thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you! You're also top notch at making some truly spooky awesome horror art! (>w<) The girl's my doing, but all the masks on the wall were designed by my friend Meiro. He came up with some real spooky bangers for this piece hehe x3

[Blue moon tree]

Stunning lighting on this one.

FuShark responds:

Thanks!

[Annaki Anchored Coat]

I've always been enamored with how you use gradients to create textures! So much form in this.

DreamsBellArt responds:

Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot :)

[iris👁️✧]

In love with the dark energy emanating off of this.

sylvrn responds:

thank you!! it was difficult but I'm glad I pulled off the dark energy >:)

[Juri Han - Downtime]

Fellow Juri main here. Phenomenal.

SketchMeNot responds:

Ahhhh! Thank you so much! (>w<) Good to know you are a fellow SF player of culture~ Juri's the best! (^w^)

You have this genre down to a very fine science. Mizore's world really comes to life in these comics.

SketchMeNot responds:

Oh my gosh dude thank you so much! You have no idea how much it means to hear that, especially from you! You're an incredible horror/sci-fi artist and I adore your sequential work as well! (>w<)

It's super exciting to be able to show off moments in Mizore's daily life through these mini-comics! I want to do more hehe (>v<)

[Aya Brea - Out of Phase]

This series is truly underrated. I read the novel last year and went on to play the first game afterwards, the genre blend is nuts. Such a wild story.

I'm a simple guy, I see Aya Brea and my day is made.

SketchMeNot responds:

Oh hell yeah it's super rad isn't it? It's such a unique game! I love the 90s NYC setting as well! Always a sucker for stories set in the Big Apple x)
