Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Ol' Chap]

This is an interesting style. It reminds me a bit of the Robots movie, and I like the blurr effect that makes it look like the bland background is actually a light. Somehow I imagine a dusty post-apocalyptic world just from that effect. From a distance the character also looks detailed and metallic, but zoomed in (original size) the grains are almost too visible. Nice work!

ApparentlyImaginary responds:

Thanks! I think this is probably my favorite piece that I've done... I put a lot of time into it!
That was the idea. I tried to make it look like light was flooding in from behind him... sort of due to me being terrible at drawing environments. If I ever manage to get decent at that, I might try to make it look like he's just entered a bar during the daytime, with the door still open behind him, if that makes sense?
I think the grainy look might have been from one of the effects that I added in with Picasa. I think I probably just "sharpened" it too much. It bothers me too -_-
And once again, I'm rambling and over-explaining. Sorry about that ^_^;

[Al Bhed Eyes]

The body doesn't seem really proportionate to the head in this one. Great work on the face, and those hypnotizing eyes, but below that the body seems to shrink away. Good coloring though. Keep it going!

ApparentlyImaginary responds:

Yeah, that's another example of me being bad at perspective. I tried to make it look like the "camera" was slightly above, to the left, and looking down at her. Guess I need to practice on that some more ^_^;
But seriously, thanks for all of your feedback! It's nice to hear an opinion on my work that isn't sugar-coated :)

[Pixel Arise]

That looks pretty good! I like the three-dimensional square effect, not quite like just normal pixels, and the glow of fire looks good. Nice work!

Tanks..... I Mean Thanks :D

[Let's get hyper poster]

It looks hyper! :D The main character, or at least the big character in the midle, really looks charged up. Expression + electricity looks good in combination. All the characters look good, though they are all missing noses, ya know? Might look good with a grittier style for the background character, ex thicker lines than all the small characters, and maybe a cruder brush? Overall it looks good though, makes me want to check out the series!

KRAeDER responds:

Pro review, really comprehensive. I'll definitely look into my 'nasal issue', took the easy way out coz they're renditions of really simple characters and good point about the background character's style. Thanks a bunch and I hope you enjoyed the series.

[Lips]

Nice. The detail in this is amazing, in the lips, the teeth, even the skin surrounding. It feels like the lips just fill the whole picture though, and the skin is bland in comparison even though it's a realistic hue. I'm wondering how some imperfection would look, or if that would remove the focus. Nice work!

[Infographic for net neutrality]

Good infographics are good infographics, and I like this. It seems like something that could be used in the CISPA protests. the distinction between how it is and how it could be isn't very clear (maybe add larger headlines for how it is, how it could be?) but apart from that it's easy to understand and it has some comical elements like the face on the screen, the cable maze, selection of websites etc. I'd also use a different front, one that's more suited for online use specifically, but overall it looks great. Nice background, nice images and a flow that's easy to follow. Good work!

[For Review]

Looks good. The face especially, with a perfect lip and living eyes. Her left leg looks a bit awkward from that angle it's drawn, but I can't really point out how to make it better. Nice character overall, and I like the fluffy clouds in the background, they look oddly realistic even though it's easy to sww the blotches they're made of. Nice work!
