sweet21's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[04]

Too empty, it feels like an incomplete piece. Theres more I can say you COULD have done that I can say you actually did. What you did do was draw a face and an alien turtle thing. What you could have done was add a body, a setting, a mood, colors, and general atmosphere. You look like you have skill but I can't really see it here.

Ba-Yo responds:

Appreciate the criticism.

[Army of Darkness Ash]

I rather like it, so nice detailed....unfortunately he looks very clean. He's covered in dirt and blood but he doesn't feel rugged in any sense, and I point to thee! SMOOTHNESS! His skin looks really really smooth, smoother than a rock you find at the beach. In fact, so does everything else. Everything has very high gloss and shine, it works the exact opposite effect intended.

You get points for good looking clothes and otherwise accurate anatomy...And dat hair.

ScaredyDave responds:

I agree with this and have fixed it! Thanks so much for the great critique, its definitely helped improve some of my later work as well!

[2 Lewd 4 EVO]

Tis' gorgeous. I really like how Feng looks in this. Mean while in the background....

DeliciousOrange responds:

Cerebella really makes this piece complete.

[The wolf is loose]

The head of the wolf the dog is wearing is far too large. Other than that its not bad.

Lundsfryd responds:

I don't know. It would not be much of a big bad wolf then...
Thanks for the feedback :)

[Skullgirls Vote-In: Scythana]

Nice piece. I cant find anything inherently wrong with the chains, well I suppose they do looks kind of flat if thats what your getting on about. Nice shading and decent amount of detail. The character looks completely accurate and everything appears to be proportioned correctly. I can't really find any criticisms to give, so good job.

justZaz responds:

thanks for the nice comments :U
my beef with the chains is each look like they're on the same exact plane when they shouldnt be. for me, as chains they look fine, but in the picture, i just couldnt make them look the way i wanted.

[The Legend of Shaq]

Though the characters look decent the background is not your work. Since the background takes up the most space and draws the most attention I can't give you a high rating.
The idea is to show off what YOU can do. Draw the background yourself.
Anyway, Shaq's right hand is missing a thumb, or the thumb lacks definition.
Gannon is pretty out of focus.

IceSkream responds:

thanks for the review, but i put in the bottom that i took the background from black beaks falls in skyrim, though i understand that from the shape that Shaq's hand is in it does look like he is missing a thumb. also this isnt sopoused to show off wat i can do i just made this for my friend Kostou. but thanks.

[Ignoxyl (Anell)]

As an overall piece it's not interesting. I can't really judge the character much either since I can't see the rest of her. I imagine shock in her eyes but her face doesn't express it.
Decent use of colors but i'm not impressed.

TylerThrasherArt responds:

That's fair! It was more or less to provide a close up of one of my characters.

[Always on my Mind]

If I were in that situation my first thought would be 'Holy fuck there's an octopus on my head' but it would then be overshadowed by 'Shit, im running out of air, how did I get down here in the first place?'
I would then realize it was all a dream but then remember it was one of THOSE dreams where if you poop in your dreams you poop for reals, where then I would have to change the sheets.
So congratulations, your piece made me think which is more than I can say about everything else.

five stars would look at again.

Madame-origami responds:

I like you.

[The Baddest Bitch In Gaming]

Sharp and saggy boobs aside everything is wonderfully stylized. Wait, another problem, whats up with her right thumb? Shes not even gripping the can just touching it. Oh well, still pretty rad.

Mosamabindrawin responds:

Thanks nigz

[Vinyl Parties Hard]

Feels very empty. Its a very, very basic picture with no personal twist or spin on the design. In fact, if it wasn't for the bloody nose and the reference in the description I would have never guessed what the theme was. The idea she 'party's hard' isn't prominent enough.

There isn't much to say but if I am to nitpick or poke at minor flaws I would have to say the beams don't have a source. They just kinda go across the screen.

Well, all I can say is keep at it. You can do better.

jake-thesnake responds:

thanks for the review. really helps me to think more about my artwork in general, thanks for the criticism!
