Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pink]

Well this was different. XD Interesting clash between the pink and blue, and especially with their merging through the hair. Shine. Spotlights. Subtle but suitable background. Costume and face paint... pretty cool!

[Study 01]

Wasn't it for the fuzzy line texture it's like this could have been taken straight out of an anime. Colors and everything seem like the tone out of an old eighties/nineties show (pinnacle of the art form). I like how peaceful she seems too, the bliss of music;blue skies behind... nice work.

[Egypt]

Now this is pretty cool! Hadn't heard of black wax etching before either. Nice detail, though wish the resolution was bigger so you could zoom in a bit and really explore... wonder what scale this was?

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thanks! I made this in high school. It's pretty small itself, like half a sheet of paper. It was fun to make.

[Vase in Ink]

Thought this might be a canvas full of detail too! But it's a nice vase. Chapped, but still so perfect... artful place to place it. Reminds of Asia. Makes me want to write a few haikus.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thank you, I also made this one in high school. :-)

[A series of people and events]

So this is where it began. :) Definitely a bit more refined with the newer version, and with more intentional a divide, but this one's refreshing too in how it's NOT. The island and eye are s nice bit amidst the surrounding chaos. I like the stars. So many messages here too. Wyclef Jean song reference with 'The Sweetest Girl'? As for the others, foreign and strange... interesting collage/canvas/doodlemesh.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thanks, the interesting thing about this piece is that it was actually inspired by the worst mistake of my life. Poor 2009 sevenseize. If only she'd known. :-)

[Wide Awake]

Woah, this was... something else! Reminds me of a recent yurgenburgen piece hmm... potential inspiration? The detail's just incredible. Patterns, flowers, leafs, suggestive symmetry, eyes, text, a Spanish poem about a lost woman? Lies? As always heavy with symbolism, and so much to look at it. The poem in the description hmm... wasn't the impression I was getting from the artwork! But both are great. Really like how the tapestry's all fanned out with the inner V too. Would be great even if it was all just a mesh, but that particular divide adds in a layer... of something. Inspiring. Also is this hand-drawn? Marker? Amazing work.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

As much as I LOVE yurgenburgen, the burgenest of yurgens, this is something I've been doing for decades. I have some I made from like 2008 I think if you look back in my art. :-)
The poem is lyrics to a song, Him & I by Halsey, it was stuck in my head, so I listened to it like 20 times will making this.
The "feel" you got from this piece is probably correct. There's a lot I needed to get out.
There's also a secret message in binary and a shoutout to cast.
It is completely hand drawn, using a precise blank ink pen, tip size fine, from Target.
I did use my wacom to fix a few mistakes, as ink doesn't erase. :-)

[Somewhere Other Chapter 21-4]

Seems like a pretty strong foe! Or friend if outer appearances may misguide? And a strong-looking stronghold awaiting ahead too...

[Elf Woma]

Background texture's almost like paper... and pretty interesting work with the hair too. I really like the hair, but the face overall feels a bit plasticy, and the eyes... it's like they're glazed over with plastic wrap or something (especially zoomed in). O_o Think that reflection effect came off a bit wrong but otherwise... not bad.

[55 Something Green]

Green and good-looking! What a contrast between the green character and the other two, the one to the right in particular really stands out with that brighter shade. All green characters seem to have that old GB style of green, so it's like a clash of generations too, somehow. Nice designs though! Happy Day!

ScepterDPinoy responds:

It's Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you too.

[Legendary]

The silhouettes of mighty dragons floating in the sky... or wait, one of them's just a man on a mountain. The mist and clouds that drift bring it all together... another mighty piece, with the contrast between man and dragon making it all the mightier! The textures seem more realistic on the mountain than the dragon, and the backpacker a bit more detailed, but it is a stunning piece.
