XwaynecoltX's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Different

Okay so this was "DIFFERENT", not something you usually do and more of a real "PAINTING-TYPE" photo of the art you did, rather than something you turn digital or "SCANNED". Did you scan this? I don't see that here. I love the green deep dark background you have here. I always enjoy when you use a background instead of your common go-to of white. I think it adds something different and new, and there is nothing wrong with branching out now and then trying new things like this. I just don't think the main art is something too good, but it is nice. I mean, it is almost like a tattoo design or a "STENCIL" pattern you can use for prints and body art. I think that is what this would be good for here and not too much of a piece for animations or "CHARACTERS". It is a bit abstract in terms of the design and has a dark tone that I do enjoy. It is just different from all the other things you've been doing and I think while it is good to try things, I am not sure I would recommend you do this one over again. Although, I do think it is cool and original, but not something I'd do all the time. The light catching it did make a nice "EMBOSSED" look for this piece and I think if you wanted to do that again that would work, but maybe try to recreate it in a digital means by copying the light and shadows around the design for a crisp more clean look.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Redo this in a digital way to recreate it and maybe use this for a tattoo or print design.

Cyberdevil responds:

No it's a photo, you're right. Couldn't scan it as you need a certain angle of light to get the effect, even though I wish it wasn't so dark. Well the thing about being able to get this effect in a less digital way was the coolest part about this I think, not as much the doodle, and the type of ink/paper that allowed it was more of a coincidence. Emboss effects with digital art's a lot easier, but a metallic effect... yeah I haven't mastered that yet. Thanks for the review; good suggestions though!

This was interesting

So this was "NOTBAD" I like this seems like its "UNFINISHED" some added shades and even a design in the backround would also be key, thats just a small idea to throw your way, but other then that this was actually pretty decent work so nice job indeed here.

seems like its unfinished some added shades and even a design in the backround would also be key

guyfromKillerRAT responds:

ahhhh sorry took so long to respond (I guess I didn't see this until now)

anyways did you know I drew this in MS Paint? i did

[The Gazebo]

Nice

Once again you bring on some "ARTISTIC" value to the portal and love the shades in the character and tree, So if anyone calls this soft work they are very wrong, I would say its how it should be you added your own twist, And with flavor if I say so myself.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
No changes as its a beautiful sight of artistic creation.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

Thats right! dont worry ill tell them off, thank you! for another dose of your awesome reviews!

Apple

So this was cool I like the apple and seems well drawn the "SHINE" seems like it should be on the other side and maybe even much more shine to it even adding a sparkle off the edge of the apple would be really cool, these are just ideas to think about, but anyways nice art work here.

Thank you!

[Too Small]

Not small?

I am not sure why you "DECIDED" to call this one small, it has lots of different "SIZES" going on in terms of font and wording. I think the coloring of each word is nice, and this seems to follow that trend at the time of words being used as art the different ways you can position them. I love the overall little ester-like eggs hidden around, the smile faces, they are just lightly added and you have to look closely to see and it all looks great the way you did that. It was subtle and nice and it made me smile looking at them. I think the world is big enough for the both of us. Have you seen Canada? it is just land, land, land, and they don't share it! I think there is lots of space is the world for all of us, but the saying is a nice one to re-create and use here. Nice "COLOR" selection for each letter and nice use of space, but I would have like some shadows and maybe make the text more 3D. A background would have been nice, maybe just a speech-bubble like background around the text to give it a bit more fullness and body. I wish you also made this font yourself but I see most of it is just a program and that is something I wish you would not shy away from, because I do enjoy when you use your own fonts. Overall not bad tho.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Add some king of background around the text and font and then maybe make the font more 3D and use your own original font that you tend to draw.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Goes with the message, I think? The world not being big enough? Yupp, think this style had a peak of popularity a few years back, but t's still very much a thing. The background hmm... I had the gray pentagons there, but maybe they're a bit faded... thanks for the review!

I think overpopulation's going to be a pretty big problem in the future btw, large masses of land or no, we're consuming too much... but this one wasn't really about that anyway. XD Good to hear you've got a positive outlook on that!

[Charlotte and Smokey Bones]

Nice

So this was pretty cool, I love the visual behind her a very good detailed character and her simple look about it all was nice, my suggestion for improvement might be more texture in her hair or even a shine in her hair, but overall this was a pretty good piece of artwork here.

Thanks for the tip! c:

[Clown]

Awesome

Okay this one here, this one will be a fave for me as I love a good "CLOWN" and this one here is very sinister and happy and I love that kind of clown LOL almost like he is evil and wants to take your soul or just candy or maybe just creep out the kiddies. I think the smile was the best part here as you made a focus of sharp teeth and big mouth to drawn you into a clown feature and creepy atmosphere. I think the hair is similar to that of Bozo the Clown and that is always good to drawn on as it was one of the more famous ones. I think using red for the hair and some in the face is a big clown color and it is good you used that to keep things on the right track, it also gives that more sinister look down for this "CHARACTER". More so the "RED" under the eggs that implies you've crushed or killed something with this egg and the clowns help was very nice indeed. While your last Easter piece was fun and "WHOLESOME", this is sinister and dark. I like that you can do contrasts in work like that with the same theme of the holiday. I also love the egg and the shaping with the text in front. It really pops out that text and draws you into it when you first look at the work. I think tho that the background is a bit too white, I would have loved some hell fire, or maybe a red setting backgrounds, something to keep with your theme and not just a plain white, but still a good piece overall and interesting to see you different things for Easter.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Just add more of a background with that sinister look and feeling, but nice overall.

~X~

Cyberdevil responds:

Maybe all of the above. XD And I agree with the background on this one, could've used something stronger! Thanks again for all these comments!

[Nott the Bravest]

This was pretty cool

So this was really nifty character you have here and I think you could have gone with more "TEXTURE" on the skintone but what you did have was pretty impressive and more style love all the little detail, the vibrant colors theme here was pretty good too if you ask me.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
some slight more texture and meshed color.

IketheGhost responds:

Well hey thanks, I'll be sure to work on that!
