Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Imperial Road (Speed painting)]

A really pompous scene of nature! The mountains rising high through the haze of clouds, green and tropical, the water a refreshing divide in this massive nature, and man's path but a small sliver in the surrounding whole. Zooming in you see the details are sketchy, and much of the grass made with automatic brush, but zoomed out none of that shows. Feels like you've really mastered the combinations of colors, and textures, and lines required to paint up a scene like this without obsessing on details. A professional, and naturally light and refreshing piece. Very nice.

Alexandrowic responds:

Thanks, for the feedback! I'm glad, you like it.

You're right about the details, being kind of rough. Most of the time I don't have the time and / or the patience to properly finish a painting, so I just kind of stop, when it looks ok from a distance and hope, noone will zoom in :)

I certainly have not mastered anything, though... but I'm happy to learn.

[Baltasar "Thunder" Bolter and Blitz-Buzz.]

Interesting character concept. If they were to be in modern time, they could have a trademark vehicle too, the Blitz-Bus, how about? A regular yellow school bus with a few black stripes. ;) Well, wouldn't really fit the theme, or characters, but the idea popped up soon as I read that name. Nice concept work.

LazerJay responds:

Oh I like it, just paint that bus blue and slap some lightning decals on it and we're rollin' !

[glynda goodwitch and young jaune arc]

Looking good!

suicidetoto responds:

thanks man!

[More Than Stars on the Mind V.2]

Do like that interstellar window in the background! So much detail there. A steamy session in an otherworldly place. Nice.

JThunderProductions responds:

I'm glad you like it :D

[Guardian]

A pretty impressive piece! I like the motion of it all, the wind, and the play on shapes for particles. Also all the color. It feels sleek and simple, but there's so many tones. Nice work.

Alexandrowic responds:

thank's. Glad, you like it!

[Samus vs Terra]

Well this was an unexpected encounter! :D A nice clash of that one character I've seen before, and a totally unexpected adversary!! Interesting distortion effect too. And time stamp. Wonder how that plays in hmm...

GrahamDrawsButts responds:

The time stamp is the release date for metroid prime ;D
and thanks again for the feedback :D

[Disposable People ID Matte]

Ah, a piece of Variousean history here! I remember the name (since you've mentioned it). Low-res, oldskool and cool.

-cd-

VicariousE responds:

Odd, didn't seem all that lo-res at the time ;) Made it on Adobe Photodelux 2.0, which was the last intuitive yet powerful art program I used, hasn't worked since XP :p

[Cross Contour Hand]

All that squiggly line-work gives this one a bit of an unsettling feel, like a mutated worm more than a hand... mummified, maybe? You do get the form right though. Fingers proportionate and authentic. Nice work.

-cd-

BrandyBuizel responds:

Thanks a lot, it's good to hear the proportions are good since that was my #1 priority goal ^.^

[Nude Charcoal Statuette]

Feels like the body kind of melts away along with the twist, but if it's based on actual anatomy maybe ny impression´s just a bit off; not the image. Shading and overall line work looks great, and realistic marble-like cut-offs. Not bad!

-cd-

BrandyBuizel responds:

I agree, I do feel like my perspective got skewed a bit toward the bottom.
