Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[wip Cadence Retro Space]

Didn't realize you'd started with WIPs too! Really interesting to see part of the process like this, and how it could be in itself pretty much a finished piece. Just a little extra shading to match the face and it could be complete; a very different style from your usual work! Simplicity has its charm too, though interesting to get a glimpse of how much work really goes into those final layers; details. Good stuff.

Like this, btw, it almost has a Hanna Barbera feel to it.

Thank you Cyberdevil for your message, your words are really motivating

[We never got it right....]

A smooth autumn tone on this one... and hey Bosa said it way better than I was trying to word it. :D I like the heavy brushes on this one. Simple but so nice how it sets the scene. Especially the water below the bridge. White edges peel away at the illusion there is no canvas on some bits by the water. Nice works these are! Simple motives but wrapped in light; contemplation.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thank you! The heavy brush strokes really bothered me, so I'm glad you're ok with them.
Canvas and oil paints are new to me.

[You took it all, but.....]

Doesn't dry even with the kind of weather you have over there? Strange paint. I do like the motive: colorful, exotic, full of variation and vividness... not all forms the most realistic, but it's nice to look at. Not all green, but all nature.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Well in Louisiana it's very humid, but isn't oil paint notorious for taking forever to dry? I guess I should talk to artists in other regions!
For the record, it's finally dry now!!!

[The Most Amazing Thing]

Now this is pretty amazing! Do like these collages of ink, textures, patterns and pieces that all flow together... and a massive dose of code to decypher too! XD About Blake hmm... a personal message weaved both in cypther and within lines. Feels familiar. Similar to the last. Comment seems... somewhat depressing!!! Hope you're stepping up the happy ladder though. Nice work. Also curious how large it really is - what kind of paper do you draw on?

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

These are pretty much like therapy for me, lol.
Yes I get it all out! I couldn't even fit all the code, but basically it was asking a "grown" man how he is so totally ok with hurting a young person who never did anything to him at all. I think his inability to empathize or see things from other points of view makes it a moot point. But if you have a daughter one day, how would YOU feel if this were done to her???
Tbh. Probably nothing. He will have kids one day. And if it doesn't work out with the mom, it's obvious he will just leave, and to hell with those kids.
And man I NEVER pegged him as that kinda guy. EVER. 12 years is a long time to know someone and I never saw him capable of doing this.
So I'm doing very well, and I'm very happy-- but disillusionment hangs over me.
My sketchbook is 9×12 I THINK, but I can never scan my entire works! So I think I will go buy an 8×10 sketch book.

[: Micaiah Fire Emblem]

Warm and wonderful! So much color and contrast in this one, and a feathery sidekick for bonus points. :D Nice.

Thanks Cyberdevil, I'm glad you like it

[Moonscraper]

Such detail! Such an awesomely imaginative motive too! Seems to perfectly depict the essence of 'heading for the stars'. Beautiful work.

Kamikaye responds:

THanks a lot ! :)

[Hanna]

Somber and beautiful! I can't really read her expression, which is nice - like the ambiguity there, and the stream of colors, within the stream and outside it: awesome style. A bright and imaginative piece with a serious tone to it. Nice work.

[Happy 4th of July to all my American Friends]

Same here, though when everyone else is celebrating it almost feels like we are too. :) At least it's not winter over here though! XD How's the winter weather over there though? Still warm? Happy 4th! Nice piece too.

RonnieTheZombie responds:

It's cold as heck. drawing is physically impossible in the mornings because gloves.

[Family Photos]

They sure have grown! XD Proportionately, too. Happy 5th!

[Dave's Drunk Logic]

Drunk logic = irrefutable. :) Don't think I've ever been drunk enough to test this, actually, brb...
