TaintedLogic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Merry Melodies!]

I like it! Cabin looks good. Maybe it could feel a bit more festive with some trees or large ornaments across the roof or something. There are just a few too many browns and grays to make it feel very Christmas-y. I also think the snow could be a bit "denser," otherwise it's a little too subtle. Lastly, there's one floating black pixel above the character's hat, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I like the way you varied the coloration on the smoke coming out of the chimney. The cloud break is also nice - the way it's placed between the character and the cabin gives the image a nice "rhythm," if that makes sense, and it's aesthetically pleasing that the edges of the cloud break line up with the roof line and character's figure. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, CF24! ^_^

I know, and I hate that black dot 😭😭😭

[Cyberlesia Harbor]

This is cute! I can definitely see the Waterflame influence here. Some of the clouds seem a bit low to the ground, unless that's supposed to be steam or smoke? Also, is the flag design supposed to be anything in particular? Otherwise, the shading on the dock and skyline are really clean and realistic, and a lot of the subtle details are impressive. For example, the small red flag at the bottom really looks like it's actively flapping in the breeze. Strong work, CF24! ^_^

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks man! The flag is suppose to be the flag of Cyberlesia, basically my version of Welkin! Here’s how it looks https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/creeperforce24/flag-of-cyberlesia

[Look out Tower (Boat)]

Cute! The lookout tower on the boat seems a bit out-of-scale, and in general I think the piece could use a bit more detail. I think the most well-articulated part of the piece is the satellite dishes on top of the ship, but otherwise some of the background details are a bit awkward. For example, the lightning bolt on the left seems to be coming from the side as opposed to out of the sky, and in the ocean there's a wave that seems to dip down beneath the boat, apparently oriented opposite the rest of them. Still, it's a charming piece. I like the coloring on the boat too with the different shades of gray. Keep at it, man!

RedeyestheSecound responds:

Thanks for the review and your right on the lightning bolt from the right side but I was trying to show the lighting was curving inward

[Slashy slaher slashington.]

Really strong work! I like her exaggerated facial features and the subtle uncomfortable-looking face on the knife itself. Shadow work and lighting was well-done, too. Makes you wonder who is truly the killer, though. Maybe the dude at the end of the hall is just holding an umbrella, coming home from an honest day's work. She's the only one we know has a weapon. Nice choice with keeping the color scheme black and white, too. It fits the mood of the piece well. Keep up the good work, HugoVRB!

HugoVRB responds:

Thanks for the review TaintedLogic!!
It was fun working on black and white and I always favor expression and pose than realism.
HAHA I like the idea that its just a normal dude coming from work and she is super paranoid.

Much love!

[Entrez Vous]

Nice job with the facial expressions, proportions, and tone. Color scheme fits well, too. Gives off an almost comedic vibe. Flavor of the piece almost reminds me of "Alice in Wonderland." What is that candle-shaped thing on the left-hand side of the painting? Almost looks like a curtain being parted at the start of a show. Either way, amusing work!

ShizzleCreature responds:

thanks!

[DNA]

Dude, I just found your page, and your art is amazing. Superb attention to detail, and you do a lot of cool thematic stuff too. This piece in particular is just haunting to me. Keep it up!

LukeF responds:

Awh man, Thank you so much! So happy you like my stuff, It really means a lot. :)

[Workshop of the BlackSmith]

Really cool piece! I love the details in the mechanical gadgets, and the color scheme with the blues and yellows is really pleasant. I think it's a little hard to distinguish the figure from the background, though. The character is largely grayscale, and you've got lots of grays and browns in the scene already. Other than that, solid work, man. ;)

ArmeOnNewgrounds responds:

Thanks so much, meens sow much. Thanks for the nitpicks, and I noticed that when I submited the work, so later a added a yellow glow from the back, and a blue one from the front. So now its easier to see him. Thanks again! :)

[snow]

Nice work! The texture of the ground is a little bizarre, though. It looks more like the glassy surface of a lake than a snowy forest. The trees are lovely, though, and the overall symmetric design of the piece is really soothing. Keep up the good work, BO! ;)

Everratic responds:

Thanks for the art review! I agree that the ground looks bad. It's the result of me using too much contrast. It looked better prior to that effect.

[A Disc]

Woah...I love the contrasting textures. The left-hand one seems like I'm viewing it through stained glass, and the one on the bottom-right looks like noise on an old cable TV. Interesting color scheme too. Made me think of iguanas for some reason. XD Good luck with your classes!

Everratic responds:

Thank you for the review! You are correct about the way the image is intended to be perceived. I'm enjoying my classes a lot :D
