Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Somewhere Other, Chapter 23-5]

Something seems to seeping up from that abyss hmm... the spirit of a recently deceased soul, perhaps? Crushed by unexpected falling boulders and slices of rock...?

[50th Art project]

Congrats on the 50th! Aiming for quality as well as quality I hope? :P Bit off half-frame with the purple lines to the top/left, and uneven lines, but you do manage some interesting motives/colors...

[face sketch]

Looking somewhat edgy, but good! A quire of background characters showing interest too, of which one seems oddly familiar... cool doodles.

[Aliens Discover Earth - post Humans]

The level of detail in this piece is just incredible! Such a cool, sunken world you're taken into; all ready to explore... and it's not just the detail with each detail but the amount of it, too. So much to look at. I like how the spotlight doesn't actually light up the most important part either, they're exploring just like the viewer is, looking around where there's so much left to see. Plenty of objects/creatures in the water, and bubbles, to really make sure the sense of water stays with the viewer too, even if you focus on just a certain area. Love the setting. There's something special about sunken worlds, too... so mysterious.

[Isometric Pixel Gaming Room]

MS Paint! Woah. Man. Impressed. Didn't think such pixel-perfect work was possible with such a medium. The shapes aren't all perfect - wonky Pikachu on the wall, the one antenna, the ZELDA text, but overall really kept that perspective. I'm thinking the TV screen could use some sort of depth, or curve, or light reflection to make it look less like a poster, but... that's pretty much it. Impressive stuff!

[Friendly]

Course still really digging these portraits too! Bright and beautiful. So open-eyed and clear there's almost... something deceiving about those eyes. XD Mysteries like with the Mona Lisa in those details, with the yellow and green too... and an expression that seems up to the viewer to judge. Smooth form with the hair, great form and tone, and everything fades so easily into that background. Some blotches above the one eyebrow, but overall so close to perfection. Nice work!

You always find so much in a painting when most of my thoughts were "don't mess up 3/4 view, don't mess up 3/4 view..." I feel like you should be the artist here :D Thank you so much!

[Myth]

Such a bright and imaginative piece! :) Really brings you into a new world; one that lies beyond our earthly gray... I like the design of the dragon, ornamental headpiece, and spikes that almost seem to float into the air - the whole creature seemingly seeping into existence, a part of cloud, of the mind, maybe, brought forth by the imagination of the little girl on the mountainside. Always appreciate a clash between small and gargantuan too, and this definitely has that clash! Imaginative, soft and beautiful, all with pastel-like tones. It feels like if any image would define the fantasy genre than this could be it. :P Conveys both the mood and motive. Hazy like a dream...

Kaolinn responds:

See, again, you should be the artist in this one!! Because I thought about making a non-lizard looking dragon so it turned out like a barbie horse :D :D

There's a beautiful piece written as if it were the story behind this piece, I'll link it in author's commentary if you want to give it a read!

[Falling man]

A man falling over the mountain... and a man standing underneath it, looking up at the falling man? The same man? It's a strange transition... and it can't be the same man, can it? Falling from such a height. The darkness is profound, but the figure at the bottom really baffles. Love how it all fades away otherwise. Wonder if it would've been better with only darkness, or maybe a different world waiting below, something beyond the life he seems to falling through. Big question though: where is he falling from? Why is he falling? He seems to be falling above a peak rather than from it... really interesting piece. Maybe he's really rising upward, flailing around, abducted by an UFO just above the edge of the canvas...

[The Vagabond]

Such a creative and intricately detailed design! :D Awesome work.

[oil study]

For some reason this whole picture looks oily, like the style attempts to portray the medium used. :) Perspective's a bit oddly angled, and not sure what that background is, but colors and human form (except the hand) are good otherwise. Nice work on the colors.
