Wuut are you kidding me? This is amazing :O I wish I had half the skill you do when it comes to coloring...

It reminds me of Nocodemus from The Secret of NIMH. It looks great to me!

Same here. <3 love it.

Hahah! That's immediately what I thought.

lol, was gonna say that too... not surprised so many others see that parallel too. But definitely has that vibe!
Which is a good thing, IMO. Very awesome work, this is.

I thought the exact same thing...
.......................
...Is it?

Wow, don't be so hard on yourself, this came out stunning! I love it. :O Nicodemus! I love the lighting.

It looks amazing. No reason to be disappointed in it. Reminds me of Nicodemus also.

in my opinion, this is honestly super rad.
Maybe even.. Supernatural. Seriously your icon is making me swoon a little. <3

wooow why on earth would you be disappointed with this amazing picture!!!!!

I think it's a very successful piece, actually! I'm curious as to what about it disappoints you?

I am reminded of Splinter from TMNT.
Totally believe that he was the reason the turtle are the way they are now.
Really love this picture.

Master Splinter must've multi-classed as a martial artist & sage. XD

Indeed he did, and he reached levels of awesome but kept them secret from everyone.

This is outstanding. Love the atmosphere in this piece. Great character with their sense of evil. Those hands!

oh noes splinter has gone into the dark side!

Very much Nimh-esque. I really, really like the lighting here, especially how it plays off of the fur. As for being disappointed and looking down on your stuff, you know that you've always got to be your own harshest critic. Always important to be critical of your own work so that you get better... but cut yourself some slack. You consistently put out some of the highest quality art and best character design in the fandom.

How in the holy mother of ass could you -ever- be disappointed with this? It is incredible! The fur around his neck looks especially wonderful!

Kiana do I need to throw you in my trunk

ppppppppppfffffttttttttt..............ARE YOU KIDDING NAI?!?!?! THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!!! You did an amazing job with this! I still love my picture you drew of me and my mate to death!!! It's in my "featured picture" slot here on FA and it will NEVER be taken down, that's how much I absolutely love your art! My mate loves your art to death too and he's picky on art *hugs* cheer up hun, this is fantabulous!

I find this picture amazing ! Maybe because it remembers me of Brisby a lot and this movie was the one of my childhood !

The lighting and atmosphere here are pretty great!

Looks very nice

This is p. excellent; I know it's easy to get down on yourself but fear not. :3

Why would you give up on something like this?? This art is AMAZING! :O Secret of Nimh was one of my favorite movies as a kid. <3

Disappointed? But... but why? It's got awesome perspective, and great action. : D

Master Splinter went down hill after he lost the turtles, He tried all he could to bring them back. DUN,DUN.DUN!!

*GASP!!!*
B-B-B-BUT HUMA- Errrrrr... I mean, ANIMAL TRANSMUTATION IS FORBIDDEN!!! D:

Does not matter to Splinter.

I think this looks amazing! I'm looking to see where there could be any improvements, and I can't find any. I think you did a wonderful job.

I love this! it reminds me of a movie from when I was a child, "The Secret of NIMH" He looks like a younger Nicodemus

We are out worst critics! I'm evil to my self. I have shredded way to many paintings to count over the years.

I love the angle, colors and anatomy of the rat! Be proud.

Wow. I love this! I'd kill to be able to draw like this.

Love the glowing, dramatic, mystic feel in this. It's fantastic. <3

the secret of NIMH xd
