Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Self Portrait]

Hmm imagine if you could draw yourself drawing yourself drawing yourself... how about it? Next level of the challenge? :P It's a pretty creative piece, and though I have no idea what you look like I'd say it seems pretty realistic, albeit with a bit defined outlines that make for cartoony features. Interesting also how you opted for a digital canvas, it goes with the style I think. The one thing to improve here would be the eyes I think, technically they look right but... they lack a bit of that luster of life that seems to so difficult to realize in eyes. Overall: nice work!

[Erinyes Riquelle]

A beautiful character, and an intriguing background to go with! Nice contrasts of color with the fiery glow from the bubbling rivulets of molten lava at the bottom, and then the radiant blue from the moon above. It's a stormy scene, though all the while peaceful and still, and her cinematic pose (doesn't really look like she's ready to do battle there :P) like the symbol that makes it art and not action . Nice work!

[EBF5 Staves 2]

It's gotta be... that one that looks just like a knife! Deceptive camouflage. :P

Impressive work with all of these weapons.

[Fallen Angel - Preview #1]

A fiery scene! Nice detail in the smoke specially; bloom and blur look realistic. Beautiful fire.

[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.

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!
