[Smug]

Very smug expression on Storm, not helped by the knife she's whipped out.

She's got a mischievous glimmer in her eyes...

[KOFI-Crown]

Heavy is the head that wears the crown...okay, maybe not that dinky crown.

Guy's still feeling the full weight of responsibility, though - just look at those pleading eyes.

[Spooked Tulip]

An expression of terror Edward Munch would be proud of.
I think this'd work perfectly well for Halloween 2024.

[Whimsical Little Snowglobe World]

The low-poly castle's got a nostalgic charm to it - gates kinda remind me of Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

"(The dragon clock in the back is 3D scanned- I'm not that good at modeling yet, lol.)"
You'll get there in due time, Toad. Art's a journey, after all.

[Spongebob Squarepants 25 years of nautical nonsense!]

An adorably-sculpted celebration of a classic series. Here's to 25 years more!

[Big ass smoke cloud wtf (Pico day 2024)]

The crowd in that smoke cloud plus Pico's bewildered expression makes it look like he's seeing some shit. Must've had his "medical herb" spiked with something strong.

[Bomb Rush Cyberfunk BF]

If anyone's looking for the mod which inspired this, I found it on GameBanana: https://gamebanana.com/mods/518436

As for the piece itself, its pretty damn stylish - its got a strong Y2K charm IMO.

Vinnyll responds:

that's the same mod i found the twitter video on it's so silly and i wanna play the original game but its 40$ (im so broke)

[THE ART PORTAL]

The gate itself is foreboding as hell - the pained expressions of its petrified victims, and the red flamelike glow coming off it makes it look like their souls are trapped inside.

It contrasts nicely with the brush and tablet pen you can see through the gate - art tools of past and present, awaiting your long-overdue arrival to a seemingly idyllic paradise.

I quite like the juxtaposition - makes it feel like a trap of sorts. The background helps enhance that feeling, too - the brushwork on the grass/mountains(?) makes it feel like whatever force is animating this "portal" is focusing its efforts on the faux-welcoming brush and pen.

The gate itself helps with this juxtaposition as well, with its cold, stonelike texture contrasting nicely with the chiaroscuro shading coming from inside.

[Getting Ready For Convention/Festival]

With merch as cute as this, I think your main problem's gonna be keeping up with demand - everyone's gonna want these!
