It would be great if you guys here could give me some opinions about my art. I posted most of it on DeviantArt, but there I get little to none criticism - mainly because I draw my own stuff instead of fan-arts about popular franchises that get a lot of attention.  :)
I plan to create an adventure game with my art style once I have enough time and ideas for it.

Most of my pictures are created without any big thought process behind them - I just draw what I feel like at the moment. So, describing what could be going on there would be kinda pointless.  ;D


This viking was originally supposed to appear on the picture below, instead of the woman.




"Määh" is the german word for "baa".   ;)






As you can see, this could be the bad guy. He fits to every cliche of a villain.  8)


I also tried to draw sprites in my style. I am satisfied with this walking animation, even if the arm looks a bit flat and the hand changes size if you look closely.


However, I also like to draw more cartoony, like in this picture. I cam up with the little shy creature standing in that winter forest there while I was drawing the picture. I also have a new version of that character that I want to have as some kind of main character for a game.
And yes, MSPaintR0cks is my name on DeviantArt.  ;D

I don't know that your last picture is really much "more cartoony" than the rest; they're all pretty cartoony.  But I definitely don't mean that as a bad thing; I really like this art style, and I'd love to see a game in this style.  Don't really have any criticisms; all the pictures look great, and there's nothing that really jumps out at me (aside from the minor issues in the walk cycle that you've already mentioned you're aware of).  I guess if I were going to be really nitpicky, I don't know that the angle of the woman in the second picture matches the angle of the background (it looks like we're looking up at the trees, but at the woman more or less head on), and I think the knees in the walk cycle may be too low (though I'm not positive; I'd have to freeze-frame it to be sure).  Oh, and maybe the fingers on the interlocked hands in the "Any Questions" picture look a little stubby.  But meh; like I said, those are just very tiny nitpicks.  Overall, looks great to me.  A very distinctive, attractive style that isn't obviously derivative of the style of any well-known artist.

I think your art is very distinctive and beautiful, lovely stuff.

One thing that caught my eye - in the animal skeleton image, there are white pixels here and there than look a little out of place. Other than that, I think you've found a very lovely style.

Good work!

Like it a lot!
My fav is No.4. You can really create a whole story just by looking at the picture. Very inspiring!
The color scheme is also quite cool in the last picture.

The only thing which is flawed IMO is the walk cycle.
First thing is I think it would look much better if you would use a hand drawn sprite instead of a pixel art.
Second is the actual animation. Did you ever notice how your legs became longer while walking them out? I didn't ;)
There are some good walkcycle tutorials in the sticky if you wanna give it another try.

Anyway the rest is just great work!

Weiter so!!
