Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lightning Goddess]

Simple but: not bad! Form's good, but line-works feels a bit wavery.

[ETIKA]

He's got that power! :D Looks like something big's about to happen here... appreciating the symmetry and showcase of force. Nice work.

[Random Fighters --Reborn--]

I could never be satisfied by just one pixel either! Need to have some variation. Like this. I do recognize some of these, but mostly no... is this a homage to these aforementioned characters? The character rooster for some particular game? They look good. Pixel perfect style.

ionrayner responds:

I believe this lineup doesn't appear in any fighting game I know. It's just a new take on my "Random Fighters" picture I did ages ago. In fact, it WAS a new take when this picture here was recent, but it's not anymore. I upgraded once again my style a little bit.

[Kaliska]

Smooth work, and creative design! Looks good. Only the picture quality leaves a bit to be desired.. Not sure if it's a photo or scan but it seems a bit blurred.

Spiderberry responds:

It's a photo,and my editing skills stink,so that's why it's blurry. Eventually all of these sketches will be finished,I'm just a little slow when comes to doing things digitally,thanks for your review!

[Tales from the Fireside: Colored]

I love that owl. :) The green glow and awake glance... the left fox seems somewhat fuzzy and incomplete compared to the right part, and the text fades into the background a bit much though. Wonder if outlines would've worked better there? Or a style similar to the border, for the text, to bring it apart from the background? The gradient gray also doesn't really bring out the foreground as much as it could. Feels like this one could be polished more, though the initial detail's most definitely pretty incredible.

ThePaintedDogg responds:

I 100% I agree with everything you've mentioned yeah. I was JUST learning color theory at the time, so I definitely could have used stronger contrasts. I was pretty partial to the sketchy style this lent to, as it kind of reminded me of an etching in some ways, but a bolder outline could have really helped this pop for sure. I never noticed the fox being incomplete, but I do think that in contrast to the higher detailed feathers on the wolf, that he isn't as visually heavy. So I think I see what you're saying. I also blurred the feet where the text was, so that certainly didn't help my case! xD Thank you for your kind critique!

[Inside Cover: Tales from the Fireside.]

So much detail in this. :) Even black and white looks amazing when you put this amount of polish into it. Not just detail either but so feathery and fluent form, feathers falling from his flickering wing... looking grim. Wise. An ancient form of life up in the skies.

[Pyreguide]

Soon as I see a fox these days I'm thinking Naruto.. I mean the fox IN Naruto. Anyway, you really made a new one with this one. Proper introduction and all. Interesting to read the guide, and the poetic bits of flame drawing most prominent, and that flame too: solid work with the flame. The occasional swirl of smoke or decorative flame looks a bit weird, but decorative too. Wondering if it'd be better with or without though. But overall love the glow. And fire. Solid work.

[Hope our Story Never Ends]

It's like a lion and a dragon and a goat and... I don't know what other creative immersions and interpretations I could derive from this one! :D Love that fantasy vibe and color though, and captured in motion as he is... wondering if a bit less color in the background would lend even more color to the beast though. Something mistier? Some gray sky he lends his light too? Could be cool.

[Art doodle thingy]

Something about needing an extra set of hands for this art stuff?`Pretty cool!

Platinumeggs responds:

Kinda? I wanted to draw in an intimidating manner, but I think it fell flat. And thanksss

[City of Tears]

Now this was pretty somber! The way the rain drips like tears, the towering background, the light and mist and wet cobblestone... really moody piece. Nice one.

Platinumeggs responds:

Thanks man! I love somber set pieces, and when I entered this area of the game I just had to paint it
