Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Halloween! 2018]

What a funky, happy, flappy, something loop! :D Flying high with Pumpkin vibe. Not on the back plot but with a well-patted backdrop live. Happy Halloween!

[Witch Uccelli]

Pretty smooth drawing! Character looks good, and the background simple but natural, just enough. All focus on the character and that... inconspicuous iguana? Nice work.

-cd-

[Uccelli's Workout]

Looks like a pretty intense workout! Love the style, and that textured background with a few different shapes fits strangely well too.

[Uccelli is Tired]

Uccelli looking like she might be imaging something very different there, blushing, sweating, squirming; moaning in unison. XD Good-looking and entertaining portrayal! Nice work.

-cd-

[The Uchiha clan Sharingan .]

A pretty nice selection of eyes! You got it all covered too. Every single one they had in the series, and I don't even recall Sasuke's (could use some capitalization though) being different at the end... gotta watch some episodes again. Nice chart.

[Cockroach Halloween 2018 (pencils)]

Heeey and something a little spiffier for the occasion! :D I would've taken her for an ant if you didn't say something though! If only cockroaches looked this good too. Happy Halloween man!

-cd-

Zilof responds:

Yeeeah, its a smidge hard to tell from the front. All the cockroachie designs are on her back!

Happy Halloween to you as well!

[Valencia]

Solid work on this one! Smooth form, swift lines and stylish composition. Simple background and outline for optimal focus too. It's the common way to do it but: works so well. Really nice.

-cd-

Zilof responds:

Thanks!
Yeah this was meant to be short, simple, and rough. Just to get a feel for the character, but give her a little pop too y'know? Nothing crazy.
I want to redraw her sometime when I am able to again.
Its not the most polished looking in the long run, but I like when folks use rougher lines for the most part. Feel like it adds some character and texture.
Overall glad she looks alright, and hope I did my friend's design justice.

[Malk's Adventure [Tentative Title]]

A masterful collage of character and colors all intertwined! :D Not sure about the basic glow, and I think the text could stand out a bit better, but as for the rest: looks awesome. Great forms and all.

-cd-

Zilof responds:

Ahh I'm glad!
This was a labor of love I had been putting off for faaaar too long.

Honestly what you mentioned were my biggest issues as well.
The glowish effect was mostly so the characters would stand out. Since the background was pitch black along with some of the characters assets, was worried they'd be lost on the viewer otherwise. Its not a great fix but felt it got the job done. That being said though, I know it could be much better and would love nothing more than to fix it up. The solution just has been escaping me.

The text too, struggled long and hard how to just fit it in. I did notice though that it definitely started to blend in as it got scaled down. Its the other aspect where the outline helped some, but isn't the best fix. I really want to go back and work on that too. The lettering itself was a whole other project!

It was working in a whole lot of new things though and definitely will say it was a huge learning experience.

[Tall Knight]

Really enjoying the detail on this one! So much work with the lines and all, and a beastly design too. Imagining how this would look all colored in... but maybe the detail comes across best like this. Looks awesome.

-cd-

Zilof responds:

This one was super fun too.
The ones where you just kind of get lost doing it. Its a nice feeling that's all too fleeting.

I'd love to see it colored and rendered, but yeah I kinda agree. I don't know how it would look since it was never the intent. Always been a big fan of just pen and ink and definitely want to do more like this. More of a just seeing how armor layering works and how to fit a creature inside that seems convincing to a degree.

Only thing about it is its hard to tell in the guidelines if this would be polished enough to submit, since this is the finished product. Because I'd definitely like to! Was a good few hours of work but I don't want to step on any toes.

[Worker Ant [Bug Fables]]

If only ants looked so good. XD Smooth design, solid work on the shading (purple too... works so well - I've got to try that some time), with a refreshing green background to boot The yellow swirl... feels like you want to know where that's coming from, but overall this looks great. Another nice one.

-cd-

Zilof responds:

Its a super cute game too, you can feel the love that's going into it.

That aside, glad most of it looks good! Was worried that with the ant being greenish/yellow that the background might be too samey? Has hoping the purple shading made her pop so with luck it has.

The yellow swirl in the upper left was mostly to keep folk's eyes from leaving the canvas. More of a bandaid though than a fix in this regard admittedly. Simply came to not having any idea of what to put up there since it was a huge empty space. Maybe it would have been better though to leave it empty. I think it was the last thing added to this and took a loooong bout of consideration to do so or not.
