Seriousle's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[14 02 05]

i really like this, well done! the only fault is a few patches of white that just done seem to quiet fit, and it would have been nice to see some of those construction lines just to be cleaned up a little.. however as a whole you can just pass it off as 'rustic n artistic feel'

but as an overall its something i'd put on my wall, well done! cant wait to see more :D

Luciaea responds:

Thanks for the review. It's a 30 min piece, so I didn't strive for perfection.

[Guitar Girl]

i really like the composition of this image i gave you 4 stars for 1 major reason, but when i look at this image the neck and below = 5 stars, however the face, just doesnt fit, it feels like its a completely diffrent skin color n diffrent skin highlights in general to the rest of the body, it also feels slightly too large but mainly the color it looks to me like what i'd expect from someone photoshopping someone elses head onto a body, and i know that seems harsh and im sorry but from the neck down, this picture is absolutly stunning your highlights your shading the texture even is amazing.. i especially love the wrist band/arm band thingo that looks great!

RushLightInvader responds:

Yeah i have better paintings i need to post. this was my 3rd paint i did ( i think ) Thank you tho :)

[Female Pico]

haha not going to lie, this probably isnt the greatest image have seen :P
so i mean where to begin, her right arm is broken, possibly no bone scructure at all, she would never be able to stand upright due to her/its head being larger than its torso, which mind you seems thinner than 1 leg, which is also possible broken? theres no spine? and the shading serves no purpose to the picture :D

so all that aside haha and i know its harsh :P it was a creative idea, which is 80% of the effort imo
so keep it up and dont be afraid to post we all start somewhere right :D this is what my work will look like if i leave the paper and start digital im sure, so keep practicing and goodluck :D

Miroko responds:

Wow, thanks for the honest review. :)
I was really not going to post this image but I think it's not fair to post those that I only like.
I'll keep in mind what you said, next time.

[Chapter 1: Tower of Ambagis]

i know you'll probably end up hating my reviews haha :D but in this particular image, the houses on the right hand side, you obviously took a image of a house then worked off that image to redesign it into your own him right? because the top section of the roof still has corrugated tin roof and the peak on the right hand side of the roof still has the wall texure n window in it :D i would suggest if you going to use the images for reference perhaps consider removing them after doing your work, now that i've picked out the faults.. to the good stuff

your lighting in this image is really well done, your lack of detail yet when you look at the image as a grand scheme of thing and just sit back and observe its extremely well done, you think the man for example is wearing a coat n a hood but is only 6 lines, that to me is amazing theres a few scratch marks almost in the center above the guys head im not sure about, they dont seem to fit, the building in the distance is really well done, again the lighting and shadow there are very well done..

SkyrisDesign responds:

It is awesome to get an constructive review so please keep them coming! To answer your question, the house on the right was first painted, and then I applied texture using photos. But I do agree with you , I did do a pretty poor job. xD Ill keep that in mind in future work!

[Chapter 2: Desolated Village]

awesome :D really amazing
im curious, was it just the brush type that gave the image of a tree + the letters HD in the left hand tent? or is it just coincidental/im possibly going insane and seeing things? :P

otherwise i have nothing to fault you on, you have done an amazing job at drawing the eye towards the guy sitting there, and you have given a perfect ammount of detail to everything you needed too, your lighting and shadows are consistant
but yea the only thing that bothers me is the tree in the tent on the left :P and the HD

SkyrisDesign responds:

Omg.. you got an amazing eye xD

[Pikachu Angrily]

haha awesome, only flaw that stands out to me, you have 3 diffrent light sources in the picture, the head/ears top right, the body top left, and the ball is top right also, whilse the shadow of pikachu as a whole is straight down..

a single light source would have earnt a 5 outa me :P but still amazing piece well done :)

[Unserious]

i actually really like this piece your shading is smooth, the facial expression works and makes me connect with the character the sword just makes me want to play final fantasy again, and the only main fault i have with this picture is your line work is not very smooth its very scratchy i would have liked to see you clean it up a little and make it feel like a final product rather than a early sketch :) but thats a minor flaw on what is a awesome piece, good job :)

TheUnseriousguy responds:

well i was going for sketchy style line art which i have seen done awesomely and i really like it but i'll certainly admit i didn't make it work as well as i'd planned

[The Kiss]

i would have liked to see smoother line work, notice how jagged it is, and how unatural that makes the piece feel, also the white smudges on the neck? i dont quiet get them either :P
also if your going to shade the chin from a top down light, there should be shading under the nose, and under the bottom lip and top lips :P but i can overlook that from the cartoon picture type, just clean the lines make them alot smoother keep it up and good job :)

ZekiDance responds:

Ah yes I totally agree with you! I could've done more but I just chose not to because I was tired. I might fix it more and re-upload it. c:
Thanks for the advice though! <3

[Ookami]

hey your shading is good i like it i feel it, what bugs me is the big head as you stated but thats fine its a personal touch, but for me, the complete lack of emotion in that face, theres no expression nothing you expect to feel that emotion from someone stuck in an office cubical for 8 hours not a magic wolf demon fighting giant worms.. and that really bugs me, if i where to suggest anything! work on expression get that emotion across that tense battle, the anger ferocity etc try make your viewer feel it.
otherwise! good job :) keep at it
