Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[🔴 WIP Cortana Halo - Streaming]

Oooh, like an embodiment of the new age, of technology, AI, gives a new meaning to the temptations of technology too... didn't know Cortana was a game character, but she does look everything like I'd envision here to be. Even if it's just a WIP this feels pretty much perfect. Form, design; glow. Love it all. She certainly seems alive too...

[Jessie Final FantasyVII]

So solid line work here, goes well with the armor! Not sure I've seen any art with Jessie either... nice one. Unconventionally strong clothing too, but not all not sensual...

[Psylocke]

Feels like the details mostly focused on the face/hair with this one, but solid work as always! Love that purple energy too.

DidiEsmeralda responds:

Thank you Ciberdevil I'm glad you like it.

[Nitocris]

Hadn't seen her before, but what a viewtiful purple-haired beauty! Interesting texture work with the sky too, strange sense of realism and otherworldiness combined... enjoying both forms and details with this one, real nice... sand dunes too. Something special about sand.

Thank you Cyverdevil, I'm glad you like it.

[Booty Collage :)]

A truly bootiful collage! :D

Wasn't expecting this but it certainly works well as a promo... varied selection too form wise, and symmetrical angles, though a lot of purple/blue tones with what little visible clothing there is,
stronger contrasts with color overall between each would've been cool too. ;) Or a similar one for all. Yellow one stands out in a good but cornered kind of way...

I realize this is probably not all that serious a compilation though. XD Definitely nice to look at.

[Review Trickster-Mewx Noir Comic]

lmao. XD Inside joke but still fun...

[Emily!]

Spunky, happy; somewhat hype-building for that upcoming project too! Color choices and texture works so well together. Gives it that natural/somewhat saturated/somewhat old but also down to Earth vibe.

The way she changes with each of these but her expression is exactly the same though hmm... kinda strange when you start thinking about that one detail. :P If it changed just a little it'd make this sequence feel alive! Like a photo shoot. Sort of.

[Gwain Saga]

Bit simpler one again I guess? Or just the style you went for with this? Really smooth work on the lighting/glow yet with all that light the main character still comes across strangely dark! The shadow's right but... maybe a bit much? Or maybe the lighting's a bit too white considering the orbs are both pink...? Anyway not to get stuck on details here...

Background and logo has me thinking more of a traditional wallpaper (digital I mean, oldskool style) than one of those half episode things, but then again I don't really watch a lot of episodes with those types of breaks... either way looking good!

[Feelings: Aren't You The Same Thing?]

Really like this one! The fluent forms, the color, the texture fits right in too. I... can't really read the intention though. The subject matter... life, death, joy, sadness? He's holding something but I'm not sure what it is. A raised fist in the background. An upside-down cross. Smells like revolution, or a crusade, or something sinful, but the title confuses me a bit... not sure what it's all about after all.

Then again that just makes it all the more intriguing...

DevilRat responds:

I will let people decide what this is about. If recognize the symbolism and how similar their behavior it will link together.

[Unlabeled 2]

Hmm, your signature pointing downward towards the roof of the one house, it seems like? Or is that arrow more so a symbol within the signature? Interesting work using textures along with the painting, and abstract forms... feels like a both chaotic and soothing landscape, though a form to the right that's... like a thumb? The cannon on a tank? Makes you wonder a bit.

The balloons really stand out too. Like it was meant to be a party, but people just didn't feel like it after all... or like they were about to start but had to evacuate? An ode to the world situation right now? Intriguing scene.

As always so atmospheric work on the lighting too.

DevilRat responds:

A lot of my earlier digital paintings are built upon Asian architecture, specificly. Japanese architecture. The balloons were sort of a refrence to.... Up, but can also mean but also add to this clown world.
