Seriousle's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Monster]

good clean lines, your shading is good, and the posture is really well executed, 1 glaring flaw to me in my eyes, the word monster across the shirt.. you have chosen to go for a perfectly skin tight shirt and you've done it well with shading and everything, then you've written monster across the top of it, its not bent to the contours of the shirt at all, the N S and T all transcend off the shirt and skip over the crease of the breast, this however if the only major flaw i can see, good piece well done :)

[waterfall]

im very curious was the water an after thought in this? or was it always designed as a dream type picture/ abstract?
im wondering because what it looks like you've done is you've made a scene with 2 cliffs peaking in an arch over a valley in with a night sky, then decided to add glowing water from the heavens that are now rushing through the valley ignoring any realism as its following sideways along a hill :P
overall your colors are really striking and the scene is pretty well done my usual complaint of reviews about shadows are pretty irrelevant here with the glowing water lighting everything up :P

But overall its really well done, only thing for future pictures i would suggest with your valley you've put the same amount of effort into trees in the foreground that you have in the distance, the way of nature is the trees in the distance will have almost no detail at all, where at the trees in the foreground will have all the shading and details in the world, so don't spend as much time on the stuff in the back and focus your details on the foreground :)

fantastic piece really one of the better ones i have seen, im curious though especially with your lighting, so you have based on your highlights a large light from the right hand side, or/and behind on the right side there, however, the inconsistencys come, where you also have based on the left hand cheek light from the top center, the nose has direct right light the chin has light from the bottom right hand side the right cheek is directly right and the forhead has a center light with no shading from the hair :) overall you have around 6 or 7 diffrent light directions based on what i can see just causing some inconsistancy, which is why i gave a 4.5 not a 5, but please this is abosolutly one of the best pieces keep them coming and (best char ever :P )

i just figured most people would like an honest review, because simply being told amazing doesnt give much to learn from :P
