Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Canadi]

She's pretty large, this one! :D Proportions feel kinda off, but maybe that's a thing with your art style... the gloss and shadow otherwise: all good. Pretty cool how you manage the texture with the brush too. Just the background oval that comes off seeming a bit simple in comparison.

-cd-

Platinumeggs responds:

HELL YEAH DUDE, and thanks! I use a specific brush because I like how it looks
And yeah the oval was simple because I'm bad at backgrounds lol

[Hello Newgrounds!]

Hello you too! A smooth introduction here - looking forward to seeing more of your art too! About the background: seems like a reference to Canada of course but... something more? Pool? Snooker? Nice work.

Platinumeggs responds:

Hey man thanks! And the circle doesn't mean much I just wanted to add it in

[Split Personality]

Two twisted sisters bonded together by their bodies so slender, moving on to the nether, like a zombie with feathers... this is really inspiring work, both disturbing, but so transformative and smooth, and like an explosion of colors, with the signature hidden in its midst almost like it's a secret to the characters in focus. Just love the symmetry and twisted wickedness of this all, though honestly just looking at the hair's probably the most appeasing part...

[Hyper Light]

Pretty smooth work with that haze on this one! And light. And shadow on the cape. Form and all looks really solid. Just strange how each hand just has four fingers and/or thumb hmm... even if some of them don't show due to the angle it almost looks like they're missing. Nice work though.
