Dew's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dammit Shane Dawson]

lol

I wish I knew who Shane Dawson actually was, but that doesn't keep me from reviewing this submission. Like you said, it was rushed, and you can see that in the line fragments and lack of color. What I do like about this submission is how well you did the eyes, and how you make people really notice them. You also managed to blend the perfect about of blood and gore into the submission so that it wasn't something gross, but it still showed the hate for the Shane. All in all, it's a solid quick sketch, but nothing to really say wow! at.

TheFabs responds:

I agree :D

[the shitdicks.]

Heh neat

Well there isn't a lot to say about this submission considering its size and what's actually in it, but from what I can see, I can see that it's a great work of art. You clearly have some great talent here, as you really managed to blend different colors well. The two characters there leave you intrigued into what the band can actually offer as well. A good promo art.

Hm..

I like the color scheme you did on this. The blue aura surrounding the character really brings out the rest of it. I also like how you made the head much bigger than the rest of the submission, it brings attention to its face and eventually the odd looking hair. Considering this submission is primarily focusing on the character as a whole, I liked how you used a dark background to supplement the bright colors of the character. As the background got higher the color scheme for it also got lighter, and that in my opinion was a perfect use of background. Overall, you have a fine submission here.

[Jack Sparrow , savvy?]

Seems a bit off balance.

Maybe it;s just me, but I find this submission to be a bit off balance. The body of the character is great, the cartoony feel and look of it really is done very well, but when you get up to the face of Jack Sparrow, it just doesn't fit. You made the chin way to long and odd looking to really work well with the rest of the body, and the lack of background makes it tough to overlook that. I also found the sheen look of his hair to be a bit odd looking too, but all in all it wasn't a bad submission.

Ripperjaxx responds:

Ah crap your right! he's chin is too long , fuck sorry.

Thanks for the feedback though , appriciated

[Satan's Marshmellow Invasion]

Very nice

To be honest, I like this submission the various facial expressions of the small blueish and purpleish characters really bring out great emotion for this submission, mostly in the sense of laughter. I did find that you repeated a lot of the facial expressions, especially near the character though, so that's a bit disappointing. I liked the background of this submission, and I like how it doesn't just add depth to the submission, but actually gives a locale of the submission too. So many people spend all their time making the character, and then just throw out a random and rushed background, but you didn't, very nice work there. Overall, this is top notch work, but of course you knew that already.

Reminds me of two things

It really reminds me of Final Fantasy, and if you have ever played that game you know some of the art quality is unbelievable. The other thing it reminds me of is popcorn! The yellow kernals bursting into white clouds of microwaveable goodness, that's what this submission reminds me the most of. I like how you shaded the clouds and the different tones and colors you see, and as the previous reviewer said, there really isn't anything you could say that could be improved on this submission. It's one of those "in the moment" submissions, amazing when you're in that moment, or just okay in others.

brettamatowski responds:

Wow. Great review, my friend. Thanks a lot!

Good quality

This submission has a nice quality to it, I like the extra effort with the pencil shadings, and I also just like the general look of the submission. The colors of the submission blend very well, and you get a great sense of a sort of robotic juggernaut. The background is something I disliked compared to the rest of the submission simply because it seemed like it was just thrown on there for the sake of doing so. Solid submission.

Zanroth responds:

In retrospect, I did rush the background just to have something other than white space there.
Might redo that part before the deadline hits.

[The Guardians read Twilight]

Heh

Not really a tear jerker in terms of jokes, but funny nonetheless. There really wasn't anything that stood about this submission compared to other submissions, I mean like a lot of submissions everything about this was average. I did like the quality of the eye in the second screen, but that's probably were it stops for me in this submission. Meh, it's a cartoony style, but nothing to really tip your hat to.

[The Maniac Wallak]

Rushed style

The first thing that jumps out at me is the rushed quality of this submission. I didn't like the various lines all over the place, like you decided to quit and submit it anyway. I know it's a work in progress, but it's treated like the final thing because you submitted like a final piece of work. I did like the way you made the face of the fox human, the eyes compliment the skin tone of the character perfectly, but again the rushed quality seems to take away from the overall submission.

ElectronicFunk responds:

Yes, its very rushed. And yes, it is a WIP, however Newgrounds isn't the first, or third, place i upload my artwork. I find the system in use here frustrating and irritating to use. To my knowledge, i have not found a "scraps or WIP" section in the art gallery, or my personal art file.

Until then, everything gets the full upload, regardless of style or proper finishing.

It will be finished shortly, so check back again!

[L.P.]

Very good

This is a very good drawing, so many people nowadays are computer artists, or photoshoppers, letting technology do the work for them, but you have stuck to the root of artistry, and that's something to be proud of. I like how you used the less is more approach with the hair, opting to leave it white in the center, you really manage to use negative space as well as positive. What I didn't like was the eyes, I found them to be fake and dull, and although it might have looked like that, there's no real feeling to them, nothing that gives them the qualities of eyes. All in all nice effort, nice work.

Zalrohg responds:

yeah the eyes which are lined with black eyeliner for the cats eye look, were off everytime i drew them.
