Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oh Mai!!!]

I should really go to the arcade more often! Looking good.

[Lonesome Warrior (My 2016 Sketchbook Nr. 1)]

A simple but majestic warrior sketch! And hmm... seems like a female warrior? Not much to reveal, but seems the chest plate has that kind of curvature. Makes me wonder what color the coat of arms would be were this a finished piece. Looks good.

[Laketown Bar]

A mysterious scene, this one. :) The black and white setting leaves the mood up to the viewer too, dark and eerie, or warm and cozy, or blue and mythological... feels like a far away place, somehow. Nice and atmospheric.

[Tanja's Gunshop]

You really work with a plethora of different styles! I like the strongly outlined, linear, edgy style of this. Simple, but pleasing to look at; lots of details that draw the eye. 'Crowded' seems to work with a piece like this; I guess if the details are fun to draw they're bound to be fun to look at, too. :) Zoomed in there's plenty of blotches and imperfections, but the big picture looks perfect. I spot no flaws.

[Imperial Road (Speed painting)]

A really pompous scene of nature! The mountains rising high through the haze of clouds, green and tropical, the water a refreshing divide in this massive nature, and man's path but a small sliver in the surrounding whole. Zooming in you see the details are sketchy, and much of the grass made with automatic brush, but zoomed out none of that shows. Feels like you've really mastered the combinations of colors, and textures, and lines required to paint up a scene like this without obsessing on details. A professional, and naturally light and refreshing piece. Very nice.

Alexandrowic responds:

Thanks, for the feedback! I'm glad, you like it.

You're right about the details, being kind of rough. Most of the time I don't have the time and / or the patience to properly finish a painting, so I just kind of stop, when it looks ok from a distance and hope, noone will zoom in :)

I certainly have not mastered anything, though... but I'm happy to learn.

[Baltasar "Thunder" Bolter and Blitz-Buzz.]

Interesting character concept. If they were to be in modern time, they could have a trademark vehicle too, the Blitz-Bus, how about? A regular yellow school bus with a few black stripes. ;) Well, wouldn't really fit the theme, or characters, but the idea popped up soon as I read that name. Nice concept work.

LazerJay responds:

Oh I like it, just paint that bus blue and slap some lightning decals on it and we're rollin' !

[Zeta portrait 1 : Chill]

A pretty slick character portrait! Smooth line work and soft color. Looks good.

[Under The Hunter's Moon]

A long backstory for this one! And beautiful character art, too. I love the detail in texture and color. The swirls, gnarled branches, edges and cloth. The fantasy-like vibe of it all, and waterpaint-like color. It really sets the mood/atmosphere. Nice work.

-cd-

[The Green One]

The style really reminds me of Murdoc from Gorrilaz. :) Any intentional similarities, I wonder? I like the glow. The gaze. The colorful shade that does look like shadow, despite the contrast. The glimpse of green, too. Nice portrait.

[Peridot the Bat]

A hearty piece! Interesting character design, and slick/detailed line work, though the character looks a bit... strained? Surprised? Distressed? Wonder how I should read that expression hmm. Nice design overall, and strong colors and contrast too.
