CJspellsfish's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crocus]

is this a new monster? I haven't seen it. I figure it's a psychic island thing.

KingCrowned responds:

Yep!

[MINECRAFT BULLSHIT(ongoing)]

I beg of you, deliver my long-due appearance at once!

IgwanaSuchus responds:

[MEULINEX!!]

[Heroes - FFSX6 Unity3D]

Could be a great piece, if it was easier to see the individual elements of it. Maybe try different background colors, or shading. It's hard to see Amy on a pink background, or Megaman on an indigo background. Also, the highlight colors of Shadow and that other guy is medium-yellow, which is too similar to the medium-yellow background. Maybe it would also help to make the backgrounds some simple gradients. There's some unexplained white space behind knuckles. The outlines are strangely translucent, maybe that could be fixed with some filters or opacity settings- though the lines themselves are great, everything's on-model.
(Just a suggestion, feel free to disregard this if you don't agree.)

Kenji195 responds:

There is absolutely no shading, only flat colors, so yeah I should've picked more contrasting background colors but I didn't want them to be like, "similar-ish"
As in, I wasn't a fan of having a blue tone background and a green tone background in the same side, didn't really know what was the best option, now that I'm looking at this again, perhaps switching the background colors between Ciel and X-Zero would've been better?
About that white space behind Knux, I do admit it was hard to make it clear that's one of Tails' tails, the lack of shading makes it harder to tell

[Lammy the Llama Pinata Plush toy]

IMO this and the other drawing like it would be better off as the same post

omithealien responds:

Just use your fishing rod to get da candy from the Pinata!

[René-]

is this real

edit: thats actually some pretty solid evidence

BellvonArtsy responds:

Mixed media.
Sketches and lining traditional.
Then I do a digital paint over and work from there!

[Oh Dell]

Ok, what the flip. He made that arm way too big. How is he gonna carry it?

tealmussel responds:

He'll get used to it lmaoo

[comic about the thrift store]

cool bugs

SkyHawkins responds:

thanks they were worth every dollar i spent (1 dollar)

[DREAM CHARACTER]

is that a black hole for a head, or a helmet that looks like mercury’s? or maybe they just a fungus.

TheToasted responds:

that's a black hole lol

[I blow the candle now cut my cake!]

It's hard to fit this on the monitor without the pixels looking messed up. Maybe cut it into pieces to make it visible? I had to zoom in a lot to see any of the detail. The size of this piece is impressive, but it doesn't look good. The mixels and the clashing colors (which I understand is difficult with a large piece) especially. Also, why are the animatronics cross-eyed? The poses are character unique at least, but they're all just facing left for no reason. I think the characters should overlap like that one marvel poster. I like that floating island in the center, and I wish the placement of the animatronics would reflect the structure that the island looks like it wants to make. Do you know what I mean? Anyway, how this piece is, it's like a huge reference sheet, but the animatronics don't individually look good enough for it to be like that. The massive hard-to-fit-on-the-screen frame could have been avoided by making the piece less wide and having the pieces be more complimentary with each other.
(Unrelated, the mount rushmore chica kinda looks like angry birds.)

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Oh thanks for the constructive critique. I did my best to make the animatronics faithful to the reference sheet but I understand there is flaws you pointed out I did not expect (and yeah I should do some modification on Chica's statue head). Making a huge piece like this can be confusing to other peoples monitor when viewing this even at low resolution. I'll be careful next time.
