His work is incredible and something I need to study! Thank you for the kind feedback

An illustration of the Predator from the movie Predator. It’s an alien with a metallic helmet and dreadlock-like cranial appendages. It wears some bones as trophies, and has netting over its muscular body, in addition to some sci-fi partial armour which includes a gauntlet sporting two claw blades.

Thanks so much!

Thank you :) As is normal for me I was instantly disappointed in spots I missed the likeness, but I'm glad if any of him comes through. I can always try him again another day! He was one of my favourites too

A drawing of Waluigi baring his teeth like a mobile game icon. He wears purple clothes including a hat with an upside down “L” on it, dark coveralls, and has a large pink nose atop a wide mustache waxed into narrow spikes.

A drawing of Gears of Wars characters Augustus Cole, Marcus Fenix, and Damon Baird. They’re drawn light-heartedly with beefy proportions in beefy armour, each holding a rifle with chainsaw at the front like it’s a bayonet. Cole rests his elbow on Fenix’s shoulder, and they all scowl.

The characters Red & Blue are holding out their pistols in action poses, and behind them Yellow is pointing out targets and holding her earpiece shouting comms stuff. ガンスター (GanSutā) is written out over the piece in large, semi-transparent katakana.

An illustration of Dr. Wright, the player’s advisor in the SNES version of Sim City by Maxis (and designed by Will Wright, who lends the character’s surname). He is short but heightened by a tall, green, bulbous hairdo that bifurcates up top like a heart shape. His face sports circle frame spectacles and a toothbrush mustache. He wears a blue bowtie over a white shirt, brown vest, and maroon suit patterned with dots. He is also holding a pointer.
