[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.

[Caroline Kraine]

Glad we’re getting more on this character! I like how she balances out Jen and Ninji by being the “normal” friend in comparison. But having her be knowledgeable about mythology and the occult allows her to bring something to the table!

MetalDoom responds:

Yeah, it's taken me waaaay too long to get this out.

I really feel you need at least one "normal" person in a cast like this and Carol fit the bill perfectly. Not only does she balance them out in that way, but she also acts as some much needed contrast to their more spontaneous and loud personalities. Still, you're right in that her knowledge on all things occult will definitely lead into her being quite helpful sometime down the road.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[The Matrix is Still Awesome]

I really do feel like the Matrix still holds up to this very day. It pioneered some of the most badass techniques seen in movies, and unlike its sequels, actually has some interesting philosophical musings.
Also, your rendering of “noise” is a match made in heaven for this piece. If I could rate this ten stars, I would!
