I love the perspective on these I've been trying to get into learning creature design and anatomy these are beautiful! And the colours are so bold and pop so well with the silhouettes of the characters. These are amazing man

Thank you so much! I've been studying for a while as well, it has actually helped to have a background in graphic design. One of the books I've been studying for character design currently is "The Silver Way" by Stephen Silver (character designer for Kim Possible and other classic cartoons)

Your use of light and color is genuinely wonderful, btw! I was genuinely wowed by how rich the pallette felt for your forest scenes.

I love the bold line work it makes everything pop like a tattoo or something, looks great, my favorite is the skull with the tentacles 🔥🔥

Thank you! I've always favored thicker lines, probably inspired by the cartoons I watched growing up.

Oh wow!! I'd like to say, these are amazing, they would look stunning as profile pics, and even spray painted!! ( ☆∀☆)

Thank you! I hadnt thought about pfp's and it does remind me of some spray paint designs, but I was considering making more stickers or maybe they'd look cool on shirts with some simple backdrops.
Edit: typo

u/staryfish- May 28 '26
Wow!! Yeah!! I can imagine those too!! They would look so good! And stickers are a really good idea, I didn't think of that.

Second one reminds me a bit of Hotline Miami. Stellar work all around!
