Description
Sometimes hype is overrated.--
I've been waiting a long time to do this drawing. It's one of my earliest ideas and I'm glad to finally see it realised.
For some reason I've managed to skew the perspective awkwardly in many places, especially the trees, but I guess it helps break up what would otherwise been a rather linear background.
It wasn't my intention to add blood, though the severed limbs appeared odd without it, and I feel the scene is a little more humorous as a result; hope you agree, as I don't wish to offend.
Using so many shades of green and not making them clash was an initial concern but I'm very happy with how the colouring turned out and with the image overall.

I love critiquing Drekinn for one main reason, I love and adore his art. The first thing I can say about this picture (Like the others) Is that it is very high in detail for a cartoony picture and it's also humorous, a WONDERFUL combination.
Vision:
The vision of this piece is spectacular. I was looking at my messages and I saw this, I immediately had to click. I can happily say this was five stars.
Originality:
The piece of work is very original, I have never seen this meme. Even if people had, the way it is executed is wonderful, so it seems very different from others.
Technique:
I really don't see anything wrong with this. Maybe a bit more realism on the hands, but that's just a personal thing. Overall, a very good job on technique.
Impact:
Maybe this just appeals to me, but I don't think so. This work is funny, detailed, and makes me want to look at it for a while to see everything. The words in the thought box instantly make you look at the picture, to know what is going on.
Wow, this is the first piece I have critiqued that I am proud to rate five stars on each. This is funny, detailed, and overall, just a great piece. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Haha.. thank you again, Cheesedoctor, for your highly appreciated and very thoughtful and overly-flattering critique of my art. Thank you also for taking the time to put into words your genuine opinion of this particular cartoon, as this kind of lengthy and helpful constructive feedback is what I treasure most.
As for your comments on the hands, I figure I already made them more realistic by simply adding thumbs, as opposed to just drawing a blocky stump.
Again, thank you so much for your wondrous critique.

The image's title may help there.

Don't you hate it when you have a amazing idea, but you can't follow through and make it look good?

Oh, I'm actually quite pleased with how it looks; sorry to disappoint.

Oh, no no no. I didn't mean this, this is great. I meant in general, especially from my personal experience. I'm sorry you thought that

Phew, thanks for clarifying. Glad you like it.
And yeah, I often have grand artistic ideas, knowing too well that my abilities can't match the 'glorious vision' in my head; that's where the simpler cartoon style comes into play. Hopefully my art will improve over time.

Good job, and the perspective turned out nice. You did indeed use many shades of green, i'ts a good thing they didn't match.

Thank you. Yes, the perspective is nicely zany I suppose, and even now I'm still seeing green.

I heard people who play Tetris too much keep seeing shapes.
