FightingSeraph's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[So We Looked Upon It]

You captured the surrealist aesthetic quite nicely.

I don't know why I write so few art reviews, but here's one from me.

The colors and textures are really well thought out and clever use of square brushes. In addition, the anatomy is adept, and the same goes for the perspective. It really shows how much you know your shit. That and your judicious use of filters.

cherry-cupid responds:

Thanks, yea. I do need a few more texture brushes; sadly i painted this on the laptop which doesn't have as much power =/

[The Prophet]

That's pretty damn amazing!

I found out about you from your dubstep song Machines, and in addition to your music and animation talents; you are also an adept draftsman. Honestly, that composition was amazing along with your inventive use of texture and contrast. Oh, and ingenious use of color and atmosphere. One more thing, I recommended you to Peixe Aquatico.

[Negun]

You've progressed nicely!

This model definitely feels right at home in a N64 or Dreamcast game. For 1,800 polygons, it sure looks good considering the limitations. Hell, I also like how you separately modeled each of her fingers. As for Blender, I've been thinking about giving it a go in spite of my troubled inexperience with GMax. (I'm better at 2D drawing than 3D modeling.) On an unrelated note, I think more people on ConceptArt.org should contribute here and vice versa.

Hyptosis responds:

Thanks dude. It's tough but I try to do as much as I can and never shy away from anything. I think the best way to learn is to jump in with both feet. Also yeah, I've kind of fallen out of love with CA though. They were getting too elitist for my taste and I got mixed up in that big stink with Corriero and just never really went back. I still update my sketchbook over there, but it is essentially ignored.

[ClayClops]

This may not be the most detailed thing I have ever seen, but if there is something that I have learned: Details DON'T make good pictures.

What makes this sculpture great is that it has the following:
-Solid construction
-Clever use of a light and glass to give it a glowing eye
-Nice texture
-Good design sense
In addition, I like what you did with its mouth, which gave it a strong expression and the drool was also nice.

[Ganguro Girl]

Very nice!

You don't see a lot of ganguro-related stuff on Newgrounds, especially of this quality. The construction is excellent, along with the anatomy, hierarchy, value, and colors. Oh, and I like what you did with the makeup and dye job. Here's hoping that more people consider looking into the ganguro style.

[RPG]

Hmm...

I'm going to be honest with you that this is not the best pixel art I have seen. However, you do have some nice techniques regarding the background texture. Here's the faults I see with this:
1. It needs a sense of form and the construction is weak.
2. The shading is badly done as it doesn't follow the form. I mean, it's mostly straight ramps except for some areas.
3. Some of the colors look garish.
Recommendations: I will suggest that you study basic drawing principles for a period of time, along with color theory.

Overall: Here's a six from me. (3/5)

N1nj4X responds:

Thank you for your honest critique.

[Chibi march]

Nice.

I usually don't review art for some reason, but decided to review another one of your submissions. As for the dipshits who give your stuff low scores: I'm all for constructive criticism, but not for assholic nimrods who think they know everything. (Here's hoping that the All Fads Die crew gives them the brutal ass-kicking they deserve.) With that being said, I really like your usage of negative space, along with your nice posing and colors. However, this could use some shades and tints just to give it more "punch." Finally, you did an excellent job on the linework, which shows a sense of hierarchy. Here's a nine from me. (4.5/5)

LovelyKouga responds:

Haha oh don't worry about them - the fact they're taking the time to look at and comment on my stuff is actually quite funny! Since they're not even making suggestions on how I could improve, their comments aren't worth reading.

Thank you so much for a well-rounded comment! I think one day I will add my usual shading and highlights, because you're right, it would add some depth, wouldn't it?
