Dew's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skygoats]

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

lol

This is a funny submission. I liked the change in color at the end of the guy's arms, and I like the general creativity of the submission. What I didn't like about this submission was the background and lack of quality it brought to the submission. It seemed like one of those things that you just threw out there for the sake of putting on something nice, sort of like dress shoes at a semi formal party. The green monocle brings the one spark of color to the submission, that one difference and that's probably the best part of this submission in my eyes.

Havegum responds:

You forgot the part about COFFEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Also thanks for your review!

[ROBOTDAY 2010]

A bit odd.

Maybe it's me, but I found this submission odd. It's probably just your style, but I found odd like I said, but also out dated. Almost like a pre 2000 computer game that didn't pan out. I mean it's a nice character design, but it lacks the depth that you would expect out something really good. Meh, it's just one guys opinion, but I don't like this submission.

VidGameDude responds:

that's ok i accept your opinion.
i understand it the environment in which the bot is in. for you see i cant texture that well but only for models.

i mean since i've only been using 3ds max for about 10 months.

but again its ok, thanks for the review.

Pro quality

Now here is a submission that you probably already know is professional quality. The various tones and shades which are probably easy to you are a great mismash of fear and turmoil. The mechanized Dad N' Me Dad looks not only bloody but deadly as well, and there really isn't much I can say that you could improve on. Very good work.

ImpendingRiot responds:

Wow, thank you so much. That's really encouraging.

[Dumb Bitchacha]

Meh

Maybe because of what it is I'm not really impressed, or maybe because it isn't the colored version like you had earlier, but I don't really like this submission. I found the white black coloring depicting the hair to be lazy, used to just fill out space you had. The crusty skin itself might look detailed as well, but in reality it's just a few clever lines put together to create a 3d look a long with what appears to be skin pimples or something. Meh, this doesn't strike me as that amazing.

Nicol3 responds:

- The purpose of art in general is not to "impress" the viewer, but more so-- to let the work serve as a window into the mind of another person.

- I'd love some elaboration on your definition of "Amazing". Kick, zing, power, composition?

- Drawings are made up of lines-- some using line variety and texture to give off a 3-dimensional look. I thought that was the point--

- It's just a doodle mang -- i ain't no salvador dali moda' fucka
