Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alleyway]

Another one with impeccable detail! Really nice.

[Wealthy Courtyard]

Another impressive piece! And with symmetry too this time, partial at least. Even the tree turned out great. The sun (moon?) seems a bit strongly outlined to be a light source, but does look good.

[Living Room]

So that's the professional name for that angle. :) Exaggerated as it may be this one also feels very realistic me though, just like it's seen from a different perspective. Like a fish looking through the glass on its aquarium. Or like a person looking in through one of those glass peepholes in a door. Really like the detail; exactness of everything.

[Cable Portrait]

Now that is one bad-ass looking dude! Awesome detail. A bit too glossy to all be realistic but so stylish. The lighting is just perfect.

[Motorway Services]

It's like he can see the future. XD Better ban driving after burgers...

[Sasha's Hat]

So I guess they... were all going to be voting on that fox hunt thing but couldn't do so because of the hats...? Confusing detail if not, but: good fun.Also yeah, hats for all! Cut all ties.

[Orphanlast Logo]

Been seeing this one quite a bit now. :) Definitely a unique style.James Bond-like style with the color scheme on the inner circle, but otherwise all new. Gives a pretty cool first impression! About not being able to use this though: you might want to append a different license on this one to really prevent people from doing that.

-cd-

Orphanlast responds:

I specifically set the license so that they couldn't

[Ten Minutes 'Till Midnight]

This is deep, man, so deep... we're like the fish? Though I feel there should be more than that, too. Midnight's closing in; maybe this will make better sense in a morning light...

Orphanlast responds:

Yeah.

Like, truth is relative. I mean that's the whole point of the Theory of Relativity. If I'm in a train that's moving 10MPH and I throw a ball going 10MPH and you're outside of the train, you'll see a ball moving 20 miles per hour while I'll say it was only moving 10 miles per hour.

Who's right?

We both are.

Now that we know that the solar system is like a series of orbiting commit's flying through space, we don't factor in the stellar drift, the rotation of the Earth, and Earth's orbit when we specify what the speed limit needs to be. Yet if anything, the outside observer would technically be MORE correct. But it would make no sense to people on Earth. What if we're moving the opposite direction of the earth's axis? How could our speedometer measure our speed?

So we settle on the lesser information, speeds of object relative to us being on Earth. Because things are easier to measure.

Sometimes I run into people that think they know all this religious crap, and I just... roll my eyes.

For example. I know I can exist because I can ask the question. I think therefore I am. But I can't use that same task on behalf of a rock. I can't prove it exists. Yet, when I talk about my feeling or what I'm thinking, people will consider the rock to be more real than what's going on in my head.

So what's real?

Yet, we DO think Thoughts are real, just not as real... even though that's how we know we exist. Otherwise we'd ignore Math. Math is just a series of logical thoughts that render a result that we can't disprove. Yet we accept math as being just as real as the rock.

Yet your independent thoughts about essential oils being a cure for cancer aren't seen as real when compared to massive case studies.

It's this ironic circle we as humans go though.

[In Memories Of Heroes]

Oh, wow, here's that right light... and so much detail in the scenery too. Not to mention DEPTH, that he's just leaning over, hanging onto the tombstone like that, not fearing death at all... so symbolic! Btw seems the angle of the light doesn't align with the shadow... though maybe my impression of how it would align is wrong, depending on how the grounds slants... also that comet: a bit too smooth/purple somehow. Awesome view though. Symbolic message. Impressive first work.

-cd-

Orphanlast responds:

Oh yeah, the shadow's all wrong. I'd improve on this image if I still had photoshop. I use Krita now.... Oh well. But yeah, that is a Comet. I was thinking about working on a Comic Strip I might work on one day, again, but I thought that it'd transition from what this dude was experiencing and then go into his head space and show off what he was thinking and feeling with imagery.

[In Memories of Heroes (Happy Accident)]

The way that hill is shaped it's almost like he's standing on a Gorilla... strange impression. XD Love the line work otherwise, and the darkness that surrounds it. Lens flare though... feels a bit typical! It's angled for the light, but looks very Photoshopish otherwise. With that more like natural light I feel this would be just awesome.

-cd-

Orphanlast responds:

Yeah, if I were to do it again, I wouldn't use the lense flair effect. I'd make my own. They're not too difficult to make.
