Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fallen Angel - Poster #4]

A portrait from the best possible angle. :) Great character art, and a gritty background to go with. Looks flawless!

[Manhole]

Haha, more than the hole to be wary of apparently! Nice one. Also, spontaneous idea: Gatorade/Gator aid/Gator raid. Something for another comic maybe! Keep up the crazy comical grooviness.

[Happy]

If only all the fossil fuels of the planet went up in flames with that one crash. XD Btw, their car? If it is, feels like it could've been referenced a bit, like, maybe a close-up in the first box, so you know that's where they're walking from? Anyway: awesome.

ChazDude responds:

I feel that if I had shown the car earlier, it would've thrown the initial joke off.

[Hide-n-Seek Pt.3]

Oh hey, 420! Read the reference before I read the reviews, fo rizzle, though looks like it's already been said. :P As for the strip: it's revealed! The how-to behind getting back to life again after deep end diving! From the sky, to something lesser, to the desert. Nice conclude.

[Digitized]

If I could put a visual to the word mindwarp, this is how I imagine it'd be. :D Awesome work with the lines, the glowing green digital veins and outline, and the way the circuitry goes on in the mouth gives a good sense of dimension. Mechanical preview of the brain was a nice touch too, though the lightning in the eyes looks a bit out of place. Maybe just the wrong color, not enough contrast? I imagine a brighter/redder tone would convey the rage that the whole face seems to be shouting out a lot more. Also, interesting how the bridge around the nose looks an angry face in itself, like a snail, with little imagination. :)

On this one, I do think it'd be better without the borders, with dark and light shade btw. They raise the imagery, in a way it feels less like an encapsulated 'vision' and more like... fabric, maybe? The background has that kind of texture when you look close. Maybe just a black background might've been most effectual? Or a background that moved in tune with the head, like a tunnel through which it appears, something that really envelopes the image? Overall though, great work! Another really creative piece.

Thank you Sir !!!
Woot woooooooot!!

[The Duality]

Interesting piece, and an interesting notion as to the duality of the sides. The way God (?) is portrayed, he looks a bit like a businessman, which you could interpret as in: if we were made in his image, and this is what we've become, then he must have been what we are now long before our time: nothing more than a suited symbol of greed and ego! The underside seems to beg to our inner nature rather than the facade we put on, though whereas one holds an axe, the other holds a white flag, a symbol of surrender and peace (even if it is one of deceit)... and admittedly it does a bit brighter on the clouds than the fiery depths of the underworld too. :)

Interesting character design on the devil; his humanized traits. Palms of hands and chest a bit like that of a monkey, and though he wields a weapon, he doesn't look directly evil. The man in the suit however wields a sly smile even with his symbol of innocence. I wonder if the expressions are intentional that way, or just how I perceive them? In a way, the devil could be seen as a reflection, maybe in the pool of water the falls pour into. The divide feels natural, and I like how clouds and fire frame everything in, though would've been nice with more fire at the bottom, around the edges of the frame IMO. to complete the circle. Unless it really is a mirror! In which case the frame wouldn't be part of the reflection. An interesting piece overall; open to so many interpretations. The line work is basic, but smooth and refined, and coloring all fits in. Not sure the outer frame makes it better, but it does give the impression it could be a painting hanging on a wall; not just a digital image. Imaginative work!

DIWAKAR responds:

Wooot .. Thanx a ton .. Sir !!!

[White mist]

A serene scene; beautiful landscaping! Nice work.

[Elder Featherblade]

It's like a glimpse into what a Tower Defense game really looks like under the surface. :) Awesome work!

[Catank]

A cat as a tank? :P What an awesome idea! Bright and imaginative piece, and that carrier is one creative contraption! Nice work.

[Your Royal Highness]

A mighty window looming in the background behind the bride; colors of somber sunlight playing in this inner sanctum. Even though the scene is beautiful, the bride doesn't look that happy with all that's happening? I wonder if there's a story here? Atmospheric; beautiful piece!

DolTiSh responds:

Yes, it was a last minute decision to make her looked sad to sneak in some story element into the piece. Though I overlooked and didn't adjust the lighting to fit the mood a bit more. Newbie mistake :d
