Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flint and Jets Don't Spark]

lol, them classy Hannah Barbara characters! :D For a moment here I thought Jets was actually Barney though... apparently I'm not remembering my cartoons like I should be! Nice work.

I like your thin style of character art, and the contrast it gives that orb of power... always does have all the more impact when the person radiating such energy somehow looks like he's casting all his energy away... or something, whatever it is that has that effect. You can see the motion in his cape, and in the just slightly-blurred background. Looks great!

[Thinking Girl]

Warm, cute and colorful! Nice work.

[All About the Music]

It's pretty cool how the cable just singles off the picture and turns into what could be a frame of wiring. Stylish character art and ditto for the background, though the shadow in this one looks a bit... sharp somehow. Keep up the good work!

[Warrior]

Gets me thinking of the latest Avatar Korra! A stylish sketch, and again with the almost-solid-color background that comes to life through some simple shadow. Nice work. Also, pretty creative weapon btw, don't think I've seen anything like that before.

[Rebel]

A real grim character portrait! His legs feel a bit off somehow, but apart from that: nice work! Shadow gives the background life too, even if it is all blank, nice effect.

[Aston]

A mighty fine Aston, in a simmering summer blue/green (turquoise I suppose I should say). Love the glow and gloss and that overall feeling of... luxury!

Clootie responds:

Why thank you so much! I tried it in various colours, but found it really let off the screen using turquoise!

You'll also see I'm doing lots of crazy stuff with this car in various colours as this is part of commissioned work!

Thanks again for your kind words.

[Tiger Update]

A pretty fierce work of a tiger! Looking at it like this, with the sketchy blotches not yet smoothened, it's almost like you just took a photo and traced the bitmap (a common method in Flash back in the day, to recreate images without copyright), but the tongue and teeth break the illusion. Looks like it'll look pretty awesome when finished!

-cd-

Clootie responds:

Thanks very much for your feedback! I'm aware of the tracing technique, but that's kinda cheating in my opinion. I did however use a photograph as reference in a separate window. You'll see I also have an early sketch on Newgrounds of this tiger which acted as my guide for this.

I see what you mean about the tongue and teeth breaking the style somewhat. I hadn't thought or noticed that, so thank you for that observation! I think I'll simplify those to be more in keeping with the rest of it.

Thanks again.

[Laura]

One mighty big butterflyish bonnet for this finely outlined madame! Looks good.

Clootie responds:

Haha! Thank you!

My younger sister got married a year ago, so I've been creating a series of simple portraits of main family members. Hoping to make a huge collage and having it printed as an interesting anniversary present lol

Thanks again for your kind words.

[Questions]

A cat.. all of a sudden? :O The glasses in this one are really the coolest part, such a simple detail as a reflection of clutter-free clarity amidst the craze of question marks and fierce frown, in a slightly brighter shade... it feels relatable, and looks awesome! Definite favorite so far.
