Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hyperspace]

It really looks more like city lights and traffic with this one though, buildings looming in the background. :) Seems that might the footage it used, or is it just a really clear illusion? Gets me wondering about the previous ones, if maybe they were all composed of similar photos... for some reason I'd figured they were all digital, bordering on a photo-like effect, but maybe it's the other way around... either way really cool. Though this one feels a bit more hectic than the others.

OrangeWedge responds:

Some are completely recreated in digital (like the previous one), some start with some stock footage, like this one.
The important part is the middle-process :)

[Strange Days]

Like riding the rainbow roads in Mario Kart on shrooms. :) Not that I'd know what that'd look like, but I imagine it might be something like this... what a trippy but awesomely colorful and ambient spiral.

-cd-

OrangeWedge responds:

Thanks man!
Stay tuned, by the way.
I'm uploading an other artwork later this evening.

[avocoala]

So this is you. :) What a randomly creative nickname hmm... an affinity for avocado? Green hair? Lazy demeanour? I'm curious how the name ties in to the real life counterpart! Similar to the Fire Fox it's a nicely simplistic piece, and I like the texture, and the font... well I wonder if there's not something that suits it better still! Cool idea with seed as nose.

smaxit responds:

My friend loves avocados so I brought her oe, as I visited her at the hospital. She ate it and gave me the left overs (two halfs of the shell). I don't know why but I thought it'd be a good idea to use one half as a nose. I dried the half, glued a threat to it and wore it the next time I visited her as some sort of "mask" (It looked like a coala nose). She nearly fell out her bed laughing ^^
After that she started to call me avocoala - because of the Avocado-nose and my big ears

[Painting dump 003]

Pretty realistic form! In a... strange charicaturish type of way? Looks good though.

PocketIllust responds:

Thank you, stranger! I try my best! :D

[Cloudia's Offer]

Not really seeing the appearance of a child. :) But yeah, tempting indeed! Looks like a women who might get her way... nicely drawn.

Oh, Queen Cloudia here is referring this insane hyper-violent 38 year old (with the appearance of a child) https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/imagecomics/images/c/cd/Gertrude_I_Hate_Fairyland_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151015114517

[cat and red panda]

An unexpected love blossoms. :) Pretty nice. I like the color and characters but... not sure about the fuzzy outlines. IMO it seems more like a lack of effort than part of the style. On one hand it could've looked like fur, but when the background shines through the fur within the outlines... kinda rushed.

-cd-

smaxit responds:

To be honest I tested my new brushes for my art program and thought it looked quite nice for a test. I know I could have done better. Maybe I'll do this piece again but with more effort and time. :3

[ColourOfLoss]

Ah I remember this contest! :D Pretty smooth work with the coloring, and realism in the textures especially, though it looks like it was filled. The color doesn't really flow with the motive, or go out into the edges. Everything's within the lines. Good fills, but not much more than that.

-cd-

smaxit responds:

I know right! I entered the contest too late in the end... Had to rush through this because I got sick the week before the deadline and then tried to finish it in 4hours... You can tell, cant you?
It's one of the many pieces I rushed through and regret doing it....

[Yin]

Another smooth entity of the universe... though actual painted background: that'd be amazing. :) The styles contrast in a way that makes it feel a bit rushed.

-cd-

smaxit responds:

It was the concep art for my art ptoject for school. I drew this one and the other part on two individual pieces of wood and made them fit into each other like two puzzle pieces. I think I'll post the actual piece as well (maybe tomorrow).

[firefox]

Again really like the simplistic approach, and the texture's just perfect, though can't help feel the expression's almost a bit goading, and the the text, although stylish in it's simplicity, doesn't really fit the fox... or the browser. Nice work overall though.

-cd-

smaxit responds:

This FireFox has nothing to do with the browser. It's a piece for a friend of mine with ginger hair. I always call her firefox and she calls me avocoala.

[frogboy]

Seen from this angle the face shape really comes across! Reminds me of someone from DBZ hmm... nice perspective, though speech bubble's not all filled in, nor the one eye... feels kinda rushed.

-cd-

smaxit responds:

I noticed the lack of colour too... one week after finishing it... I always frget about it... I'll fix that
