Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Women of Metal - Tarja Turunen]

When I saw the thumb I thought this would be Wonder Woman. XD I guess she is! Sort of. Nemo was probably their first song I listened to, over and over, but for some reason I moved away from metal before that era really ended... she definitely was something else, a level above Evanescence and all the other I'm-suddenly-reminded-of forgotten great os f the times. Skin tone appears somewhat plastered and blotchy here, but form and color all good. Good stuff.

ADR3-N responds:

Yeah I only later realized my old PC monitor was really washed out -- everything looks super blotchy now that I have a decent screen hahaha. I really struggle with skin

Yeah, Nemo was one of the first songs I discovered. Now I have their entire discography up until something like 2012. I rarely listen to it, but that's mostly because I have somewhat heavier tastes lately LOL.

You should check out the End of an Era album, speaking of. It's bangin.

[Jadyn Discovers the Meaning of Time]

Oh hey it's a story with a moral! XD Wasn't expecting that bit! High on life, or eh... death. True story though?! Hopefully not the latter part. Smooth work.

Mewx responds:

Nah drugs are lame. Just a short skit lol

[Cassandra]

Looks like this girl likes to fight! :D Not so fond of the blur to symbolize motion, most noticable on the shield, but otherwise detail's great as always! Metal, suit and all. It all seems to have an edge in this one. Also nice how much the face contrasts with everything else. A ray of warmth within those cold and airy castle walls.

DidiEsmeralda responds:

Thank you very much Cyberdevil for your motivating words help me improve my work.

[Sandra and Woo contest entry]

Not pixel (though crisp lines), nor animated, nor looped! :O Not what I expected! But good detail and coloring. Background seems a bit plain though, there's no real frame or perspective, and not so much a sense of menace either... looks but could've been better arranged I think.

gatekid3 responds:

I was bad at framing and backgrounds back then.... i still suck at both of those things now to be fair though.

[Sandy South and Q (Contest entry)]

The background's definitely a lot more detailed in this one, though not so much detail in the motions! Actually everything's more detailed here. Imagine a battle at this level of detail hmm... that'd be... probably enormously time-consuming to make! XD Nice work.

-cd-

gatekid3 responds:

Considering it took 5 days to do the fight, im not even gonna try to imagine what it would be like to do it with this level of detail.

[The Evil Within]

Looks like a game I really ought to play some time! A beastly loop, though bit distracting how she keeps looking over her shoulder ever so often... I'm wondering if it might look a bit more fluent without that, after you've had it on loop for a while. Either way: very nicely looped! Good stuff. You do capture the chase.

AntonM responds:

yeah maybe I'll space out movements like that more in the future, thanks cd

[Princess Peach]

Peach looking sweeter than ever, with some almost candy-cane like knots down that daunting dress. And I do like a summer vibe, waves, blue skies and that watery particle haze. Smooth work as always!

-cd-

DidiEsmeralda responds:

ThanksCyberdevil, I'm glad your comment is very motivating.

[Job Interview]

I see what you did there! So much suggestive wit with this one. First frame, second frame, third frame, switch to background, outside the door, comment description... it's like little bits of comedy every step of the way. Not the normal; conclusive kind but... appreciatively different!

-cd-

ChazDude responds:

I conjured up something good, I see!

[Broken Heart]

Even with your darker pieces there's a tone of light. :) Tears but hope, a somber but still not so heart-shattering setting... if it weren't for the tears it might've all seemed like a good scene. Fine wine and a smile.

DidiEsmeralda responds:

Thank you Cyberdevil, your comment.
