Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cocktail]

Is that... an eyeball floating around in there? :P At a first glance this seemed like the most delicious cocktail ever but at a second glance I'm just not sure anymore...

Love the color though. The form. The everything with this. So good.

[Leffe's Letter (Webcomic)]

Interesting collection! Was thinking there'd be a story at first, a letter that progressed with each page, but it's almost like... one of those motivational books with images to go along with certain quotes. Only not all of them are all motivational. :) Philosophical sometimes, fun sometimes, sometimes just a bit confusing... like the 'danger to myself' one, or the arms reach. Is this generally applicable wisdom? Is it personal stuff? Is it supposed to be more so comical when it doesn't really make sense...?

I REALLY liked both the imagery and text with the 'I don't know the range of my hearing' one in particular, feels like the kind of thing I could have as a poster in my room, and the visuals in some of these were great (well they all were but some were really on another level somehow). Both context and imagery seems to get better with time - though maybe to an extent I'm just getting into this particular style of fragmented reading as it goes...

I feel like maybe it would've been better if the thoughts tied to each other somehow. if, even though they're separate, there was some kind of link from one to the next, a continuity as to the 'letter' of it all.

As it is it's an intriguing trip, and ends in a way that sort of seems to explain everything, but also doesn't really feel like what I thought it set out to be, or like there's a meaning behind all.

HolyKonni responds:

Thank you very much for your articulate, well thought-through and interesting review of our book. It's fascinating for me to get an insight into how this somewhat weird project is received by a reader! I sent the review on to my writer, as well.

I think you've got a point about the book being somewhat confusing and lacking in a "red thread". That is also the reason why it never became as popular as my other comic, which has a proper story. Still, Leffe's Letter will always have a special place in my heart.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[Otter Goes Blep]

Feels like a bit of the underlying lines shine through here, but at the same time it gives it a grungy/intentionally arty kind of tone too. Text fits in just perfectly as well. Could be a poster.

Aaand looking good!

[Darling~]

Devious. :) I do like this too... only thing that comes across maybe a bit simple is the background. Like that somewhat unevenly square/sized bedside table. Not that that's what I'm supposed to be focusing on here! The girl looks flawless.

UmbraPrometheus responds:

Yup, BGs aren't really my specialty. I practice on em', but I don't usually do it. :'D

Zero Two's the main focus ~ 😏 Thank you!

[Wakko art]

Seen so much of this guy back in the day but never knew him by name! :D Wakko huh.

Nice tribute. Really don't see enough Animaniacs here, though they're bound to have started so much of the animation culture now prevalent.

UmbraPrometheus responds:

Thanks! I watched him as a kid, and he was the only who stood out. Cuz of his attire. :P

I didn't see much either, but hey, I've seen em' everywhere else. 🙌

[DOOM Eternal]

And I thought the Skull Kid one was detailed holy shit. :O

Honorable homage to the one and only! This is amazing.

[Rally!!]

Bad-ass character design, nice!

UmbraPrometheus responds:

Yoooo, much appreciated! 😎

[Skinaddle skinoodle, I present you a doodle!]

A good kind of doodle too y'all! Joints and eyes may be slightly weird but IMO she doesn't look bad at all... a bit puppet-like somehow with the shading around the elbows but overall looking good!

CoraOraOraZone responds:

Yeah, it has problems, but there's always time to improve

[Alone on a Friday night?]

As long as she really is a she then whatever it is I just might not mind. :D

Smooth form; creative divide with the frame/panel too.

[I never had a choice but to bleed for you]

Woaaah, dark! But good... grotesque in a captivating kind of way.

Looking forward to seeing the full thing!
