[[Comic] Cool Shirt]

You absolutely nailed both Zack and Valerie, both visually and as characters. Without even having Valerie talk, I might add! Makes sense that she'd get along with Carol. And going to Hot Topic and getting upset when nobody else there is as into edgelord bullshit as he is peak Zack. I couldn't have asked for anything better. You're a legend for this!

MetalDoom responds:

Super pleased that I got them down so well, especially in terms of characterization! They're both such good characters and I'm happy I was able to do them justice here. You're the best, bro!

[[Comic] Normal Work Conversation]

Interesting that Carrie's kneejerk response to Jen opening up like that is so snarky, and that Jen's response to that is to play it off with a joke. Says quite a bit about each of them, and shows your talent for character writing!

MetalDoom responds:

I really do think that Carol genuinely doesn't realize just how snarky she comes across as sometimes. While obviously she said that with a bit of sarcasm, she was also making a genuine (and rather blunt) observation. Like, yeah, that really makes sense now that you've mentioned it.
Regardless of Carrie's response, Jenny probably would have deflected anything she said with a joke anyway. That's just the way she is.

Thank you so much for your praise of my character writing! Appreciate that a ton.

[Chelsea Carny as BloodRayne]

This looks great, Chelsea looks sexy as hell in this outfit! The muted colors of the background really makes her pop. I'm looking forward to seeing what other costumes she wears in the future!

MercKaiju responds:

Thank you! I can't wait to dress her up for next year. It's gonna be fun.

[(Old) Chelsea Carny Character Sheet]

Ah, I'd been hoping that we'd eventually get to see something like this! Chelsea is a bad bitch, and getting to learn more about her as a character is a blast. I hope we get to see stuff like her pistols, as well as her abilities in practice!

MercKaiju responds:

I'm really looking forward to sharing even more about her, and you'll definitely be seeing her in action soon.

[Ronin]

My dude!
This is so badass, I can’t thank you enough for it! The texturing, the shading—you knocked it out of the park. I couldn’t have asked for a better present!
You’ll have to let me know when your birthday is so that I can return the favor!

MercKaiju responds:

Glad you like it! I originally wanted to do a more dynamic piece with Ronin, but I settled for something simple instead. I had quickly realized that I really need to practice drawing male anatomy. I still enjoyed making it though. Your characters are great and I'll definitely be drawing more of them in the future. Anyways, I 'd like say happy birthday once more. Hope your day is going well. I wish you nothing but the best. Take care!

[Black Pegasus]

The colors you picked look great, they really pop against the paper! They’re practically glowing, it looks super cool.

RubystarSage responds:

Thanks so much. I'm glad you like this piece. 😊☮️🌼🌼🌼🌼

[Plata Peligrosa (El Tigre)]

I like it indeed, very sexy! I hope that you're doing well, and that things get better for you.

[[Comic] Dude.]

Good to know that Jen is teaching Ninjiro well! 'Dude' is a universal sign of peace.

MetalDoom responds:

That's true, dude! The word translates to any language and is understood by pretty much every culture, except for ninjas, of course.

[Colossus Sketch]

The way that his metal skin was rendered always impressed me, it’s impressive how well artists of the day were able to capture the texture and look of gleaming metal with relatively limited technology. Awesome that you’re balancing old-school technique with new methods!

KnightLineArt responds:

Thanks a lot, I'm trying to mostly go with the old-school style since I always dug how a lot of those versions looked. The metal texture on him and Silver Surfer in particular were always up my alley!

[Psylocke - 2023 VER]

You’re making great progress, Psylocke looks great!

KnightLineArt responds:

Thanks, while not my favorite piece this year, I needed it to compare to the last time I drew her.
