SkyeWint's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stitching]

Well, that's creepy. I like it.

I wonder how he's alive. Those injuries seem bad.

Also, happy birthday!

Scottr5680 responds:

Thanks Skye!

Yeah, something keeps him going.

[Haunted]

Excellent as always, friend.

You always have a way of making things seem so realistic, and so different from reality at the same time. It's beautiful.

Scottr5680 responds:

Thank you very much, my friend! ^_^

[Haven]

These are some sexy images.

Scottr5680 responds:

Thank you very much, my friend!

[Flaming Heart Skull]

Okay, so I'm not the best critiquer of visual artwork. I'm more a music guy. :( I'll give this a shot anyway though!

What I Liked:
-What I immediately noticed was the subtle background, how it gets darker in the lower right and lighter in the upper left. Nice touch there, gives it a bit of an ominous feel actually. Any particular significance to have darkness emanating from your signature?
-The right eye (well, right eye on the skull, it's to the left in the picture) stares right at me while the left eye stares off to the right somewhere - that was a bit creepy and cool.
-The fact that this is apparently modeled a bit off of a heart is odd. I like how you tried doing it - the blue around the edges also transitions nicely to the outside, especially the green. Of course, once I notice that it sticks out like a sore thumb, so it might not be the best thing, but... :(
-That grin. It looks like it's laughing at me.
-I see Lord Voldemort's nose. Or rather, single nostril.
-Subtle purple around the edges of this make it stylish and almost as if it has an aura around it.

What I Didn't Like Quite So Much For One Reason Or Another:
-The left eye (left eye on the skull, it's to the right on the picture) seems to have a bit of a messed-up pupil. The edges right around there also seem to be blurred and less circular, making it look like there was a tad bit of laziness in making it.
-It would have been nice if the flames trailing off the back didn't have an outline at all, but instead bled into the background.

Overall: I actually like this a lot. It also looks like you enjoy making macabre pieces of art involving skulls or monsters. Cute. Thanks for an interesting diversion from music reviewing!

Decky responds:

Cheers for the review dude. I take everything you said about the left eye and the outline of the flames. It could do with a bit more work done to it. Sadly I'm quite a busy chap for the up coming weeks so it probably won't get done but I'll have more stuff out soon so I'll use the tips on that.

As for why I used a slight gradient for the background, i simply made the piece look a little more professional in my opinion.

[Gabriella]

I've seen better. Seen worse too, but...

The anime style looks alright, and isn't badly done, contrary to what lovingthedark said. The color scheme works, and while it does seem to be chosen at random, that's not necessarily bad. I'm not a huge fan of the anatomy though, I have to admit. It's not the best, though again, it's not the worst I've seen.

The saw-blade looks fairly plain, and seems like it could be improved. Also, the high-heels seem to be lifted off the ground a little bit.

I don't have too much I can pick at - not a large art reviewer. But hopefully what I've said is helpful.

Oh, and also. Saying this in the RRC thread: "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU GUYS EFFING BLIND?!!! REVIEW MY STUFF!!!"
is not the best idea for getting reviews. As is not reading the club rules. Please respect the members, they take time out of their day just to review the stuff that people request, and they try hard to give good reviews. :)

DragonPunch responds:

Thank you. And remember, I'm not aiming for realistic anatomy. I'm aiming for cartoon-style.

[Lackadaisy Cat]

D'aw. This looks cute. It is a bit odd though.

Ok, first of all, I'd look at improving the little puffy cheeks - they're puffed out a /little bit/ too much, and make look as if this cat has a large amount of fur on its cheeks, but not on the neck. Second, I might want to try to have the outlines on the face to be a little bit less... big... they're huge. Third, the tufts on the end of the whiskers and ears and hat are a bit odd, generally whiskers and hats don't have tufts coming out of them.

Overall, this is pretty good - though I'm not overly good at art, so I suppose I can't say this with extreme accuracy.

Hopefully what I said was helpful.

SerPounce responds:

The blurs weren't meant to be tufts, and I did want to remove them once I had added them, but I was unable to. As for the rest, it was very helpful, and I'll remember it. Thanks.

[red scorpion]

Impressive.

This is quite a nice drawing, I can't honestly see many errors, so excuse me if I go nitpicky.

-In the lower left, right around where the hand weapon meets the pants, it seems like the belt buckle is transparent and showing the pants/weapon behind it.
-At the other hand weapon, there's a strap that seems like it's coming off the weapon.
-The hands have fingers that look a tad too rectangular and uniform, try putting a joint right before the fingernail and making that part bulge out by a slight amount.
-It seems like hair is growing out of his armpit on the left side of the picture.
-The markings, when going from his neck to his cheek, seem to act as if there is no space between them, they just go straight onto the cheek. Could be corrected by moving the markings on the cheek by a slight amount, so they don't line up quite so perfectly.

That's all I've got for things that could be improved. The background fits in quite well, the overall artwork is quite good, it looks very realistic, considering, and the little errors I noticed probably won't be seen unless you are either looking for errors or look at it for a long time.

Awesome job!

Rennis5 responds:

yeah, i didn't see the problem with the buckle untill after i had uploaded it and i think i will try to put more detail into fingers in the future,
also i really rushed the tattoos, i don't think anyone has pointed out yet that the tattoos have no shading!! "dun dun dun"
thanks for you'r review
:)

[Skuvari]

It's a decent sketch.

Not the worst I've seen, definitely not the best. I do agree with Soap, you NEED to use a scanner. The quality on it is so much worse without one than it would be with one. The eye-lazer thing is pretty odd, I don't think it quite worked at the right eye, and the left lazer seems to bend a bit. It looks like the whole thing is cacling madly or something, and I'm not sure what that is on the back, part of a spinal cord or tail with bone chunks dangling out of it?

My only real words for improvement on this would be to get a scanner and color it in. I could imagine this thing being purple and/or pink, for some reason, with blue ears. But then, that might make it seem like a 4-year-old colored it in... I'm really not sure how it would be colored, actually, but that would probably make it look a lot better. Perhaps computerizing it so that there aren't pencil lead fuzz all over the place from the hand would be a good idea as well.

NekoMika responds:

Thanks for the kind words. Aside from a bass guitar and a few other minor things I do plan to get a scanner/printer soon. :-)

Thanks for the review.

[No More Running]

Ooh, quite nice! ^_^

Saw this and immediately knew that this was a good piece of art. For the cartoony style, it looks amazingly realistic. I very much like the impact mark next to the feet. She definitely looks like she's ready to stop running and fight back. As said before, the hoodie is a nice touch, I like the little, er, tightening thread things trailing out, giving the impression of having run from the direction they're trailing in.

My main issue though, is that the leg angle seems a bit off. It seems like she was trying to stop, but falling while doing so, but the rest of the body looks like she IS stopping. It makes it confusing to my eye. The other (relatively minor) issue is that the dark eyeliner and giant eyebrow seems a bit big and heavily-done. I personally don't like it. Don't know whether other people feel the same way.

Hope this is helpful to you!

Aigis responds:

She's actually supposed to be in the process of jumping backwards, rather than simply stopping.

As for the eyebrow. Well, I like it. Maybe it is slightly too large.

Thanks for the review.

[Willburt]

I think he's drooling.

No, really! He looks like he's drooling! I see a little blue drip going down his face. And I do have to agree with SCTE3, he does look like he wet himself.

In any case.

The plasticness of this art seems like it doesn't work. I understand that's how a lot of 3d art is. But try making it a little more realistic, please... I also don't particularly like how the whole thing is practically grayscale except for the skin. While admittedly, the character could only have gray clothes on, it's kind of boring when it's just all gray. The hair also seems like it's smeared with ash, and the pants turning up only in the front seems odd.

On the plus side, the textures you have are incredible, and the only nitpicks I have are the ones I said above. (not counting the ones that SCTE3 and Soap said already) It is really good 3d, even if it's a bit... odd in looks.

Hope this is helpful to you!
