[Optimus Prime · picoCAD (Low Poly Day 2025)]

I absolutely ADORE the fake metallic sheen you've created on Optimus Prime's body! Who needs real-time ray traced reflections??

VampireDev responds:

Thank You so much!!! Raytracing is a scam hahaha, there is so many ways to make things look pretty without forcing people to update their GPUs LOL

[The Final Call - Low Poly Day 2025]

Those hilarious enemy designs are the best part, for me!

NinAcTi0N responds:

Lol, I always liked how the OG designs were very silly, so I went for equally silly designs too!! It's like Doom if it were on a funky cartoon trip imo

[Amy rose (sonic boom)]

Sonic Boom (the cartoon) was so underrated, especially the second season that was shafted to that weird Boomerang cable TV channel (the first season was at least available on Cartoon Network). The writing and jokes were particularly stronger than any Sonic show before or since. Shame about the horrid Wii U game that was supposed to promote the show, as well as the mid 3DS games...

strangermen responds:

I confirm, the Sonic Boom series was very little used at the time, although I suppose that most of the blame lies with the first game that came out, since it was quite mediocre

[Heart Pop Planet: The Devourer of Worlds]

Surely you worked on network kids animation at some point? This in particular looks a bit like something from Wander Over Yonder or Kid Cosmic--basically anything directed by Craig McCracken in the 2010s!

LinkNiak responds:

Appreciate it! but sadly no :( (YET)

[Franklin F. Finasty (Official)]

Wow! Good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone and drawing a male character. It really helps that he does, in fact, undeniably look masculine (probably even more so than a lot of typical male character designs in anime) and I would never in a million years confuse him for one of your female OCs. Excellent work!

Finasty responds:

At first it was feminine, but i changed the hair by adding some crescent so that it's now look masculine enough, thanks!

I am glad that someone finally accepted my male design

[THE INCREDIBLE BONNIE SHINE]

The character designs and shapes, particularly in the second image, are phenomenal!

LinkNiak responds:

Thanks!!

[Fortune]

Okay, wow, she's lovely! I'd let her swindle me out of my money only to tell me the most unfortunate fortunes, just to freak me out and give me an existential crisis!

DreamsBellArt responds:

perfect! you understand her completely already!

[animations]

Even as mere sketches, these animations are adorable and full of personality! Hope you can color and refine these soon, these look great!

AndyBusy responds:

Thank you so much!

[Walking in no particular direction]

Wow, those worn textures on the robot combined with the strong yellow global illumination lighting are beautiful! The animation is smooth as silk, too! You clearly know what you're doing as a 3D artist, excellent job!

Framed51 responds:

Thank you! gotta love the voronoi texture!

[Puuuuuzzle?~]

Interesting way to look at the inbetweening process. In the increasingly-rare instances I do 2D animation these days and have all the keyframes and breakdown poses figured out in a previous session, I usually can get away with essentially turning off my brain while drawing in-between frames and listening to the Astro Bot soundtrack at the same time, or something.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

The way we animate is weird, it's a hybrid style between cut-out and fresh drawings, like copy and pasting where can, and then drawing only when absolutely needing to
