Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Venice]

Very stylishly painted motive on this one. The line work is simple but efficient, and the hazy shades of gray /especially in the sky) build up the atmosphere nicely. The line going through the boaters torso feels a bit misplayed, but otherwise it looks flawless. Very nice.

SonicDiablo responds:

Hey, thanks for the comment. I appreciate it :)

[A boy and a lion]

A very mellow piece this one. Love the motive, but even more so the background, you really have a knack for those it seems. Inspired by Life of Pi by any chance? I wonder what they're looking at, the boy and lion...

tamihani responds:

It was for a friend that was moving to another country, I guess I didn't see it then but in a way it symbolizes uncertainty and it was a way for me to say goodbye, hence the slightly sad atmosphere.

[Samurai Jack]

Samurai Jack was one of the shows I grew up with as well! :D What a ckistk of nostalgia. Bit stiff line-work on this one (and maybe a bit too visible lines?), but the jagged-shape-style at least is all in suit with the original. Looks good!

tamihani responds:

Thank you for the feedback, this was one of the first water color pieces that I've done. Back then I haven't discovered black liners and still had some anatomy problems. I like to think that's behind me now :D

[Masked]

A slender figure with a halo of butterflies and a yellow eye. Mystical and beautiful all at the same time, and makes me wonder about any symbolism that might be intended there, butterflies... is she nervous? The shift of eyes... two sides of her personality? Is it more to this than meets the eye, or is the artwork as spontaneous as it seems to be if you can't figure out a deeper meaning? Either way fantastic work.

outlawedMoon responds:

Ohhh thank you <3. Yeah, i had this idea that the black butterflies are her depression, and the facial shift is the difference between the face that everyone sees, and her insanity. I hope that made sense, thank you for the review :)

[Endless Wait]

Pretty interesting style with the dark background and white outlines, and the batch of blue on the hair. The marker around the S looks almost like a cityscape too, and a road circling in to the left of the O... and when you start looking at it like that it's like the entire outline is one creatively skewed cityscape. Pretty cool!

camily8 responds:

Yeah, the whole blackness around her was supposed to be a city-like landscape, so I'm actually pretty glad you noticed it. Also glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback!

[Army Bike - GIF]

Interesting spin on the wheels, and what feels like a natural bumpy motion on the bike itself, though it looks almost like army dude is part of the bike too, bumping in unison. :P Good loop overall!

Wondermeow responds:

Thanks champ ^^.

[Mad Scientist Sketch]

It's a bit sketchy, but I like the grin! The color; mesh of materia! The glare on the shaded monocle tandem! Feels like it could be refined a lot, but does look mad!

Waskus responds:

Fair enough :) Thx!

[Critter1]

A really eerie critter this one. :O Dark and sinister, and the form... almost like a combination of a bird and rat? Very nicely drawn. Also, welcome to NG! An inspiring first piece!

-cd-

CatgeckoMironov responds:

thank you very much! XD
it's a desert critters, and it's more of a camel/bird/snake/dog thing i think.

and thanks again :)

[Archen]

What a happy-looking bird! :D The type I imagine might go extinct (I'm reminded of the ones in Ice Age... I think)... but oh, looks like it's a Pokemon too. Need to catch up with those games. Nice work.

-cd-

Shayxy responds:

Yes, it is a pokemon. x)
Thank you, a lot ! c:

[Scar-crow]

Seems you've really put in work on the details here! I love this alter-ego, both the name and appearance. The play with Scare Crow would've been enough, but the duality in the split names is another great alternation, a duality, two in one. The crow is a wise bird too, linked to legend, and the visual representation here both sensual and mythical, dark and beautiful, in humanoid form, and with a scar that brings forth a human skin tone as well. The only thing that breaks out a bit is the color in the outlines of the text, used for other work I think it'd look good, but as a single piece I'd have preferred a grayer tone, in tune with the image itself. Nice work!

Scar-crow responds:

Hello Cyberdevil and thank you for all your comments. I really appreciate that you put so much effort in commenting to my works. It makes me want to draw more and also inspires me, so thank you for that too. I also thank you for scouting me. I don't know what else to say! ^^
