Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Spirit and the Shoeshine boy]

An ominous onlooker in the background sky, shing down upon his real-life counterpart, the one in charge of the industry; exploitation surrounding? The innocent main character sitting beside the spotlight rather than in it, cast away into the world that was not his doing. That's how it makes me feel at least, wonder if that's the truth you choose to convey, or something different entirely? Another nice piece; interesting to analyze and look at.

Squiel responds:

I forgot to include the link to the comic this cover belongs to (http://squiel.com/en/portfolio). The characters come from very different backgrounds and so, they are separated. You are right, the main character is at the margin, as in life. Thank you!

[Christmas dog fight]

That's a... weird kind of dog! And whatever little critter it is he's fighting? Interesting gathering of conlookers too, and the shadow is like a shape in iteself. The one thing I really like about watercolor are the slivers if white glow, so powerful on that caped character with a Pumpkin nose in particular. Nice piece!

Squiel responds:

Thank you very much for the scouting! The idea was to depict Christmas villains. Jack Skellington's ghost dog is fighting with the Grinch's. Watercolors are my favourite media. They are jumping/floating and to convey that, the shadow should be strong too. Thanks!

[Spider-Man]

Interesting effect with the webbed pattern on the while background cityscape. Overall this looks awesome, and it feels like the excessive bloom just makes it more so. Gritty cityscape; shadowy Spider-Man, and the blood-splatter... for effect, or for action? A scene captured in the middle of a fight, maybe? Nice work!

DoublexAA20 responds:

Wow, thanks for the awesome critique! :) You pointed out more details than I thought I put in there haha!

[MLP speed art Applejack]

A bit low resolution, but it looks good! Nice work on outline and glow, and so much color in that background sky.

Fireseeds responds:

Thanks!
it took about five or six hours!

[First Order Stormtrooper Helmet]

A pretty detailed Storm Trooper mask, looks good! I actually watched the new movie just yesterday, not a big Star Wars fanatic (is fan short for fanatic? :P), but it really surpassed my expectations. Looking forward to the sequels! Nice work on this. Would've been cool btw with a version of this with Finn's blood-streak-mark on it, Storm Trooper with persona. Keep it going!

DragonKeeper345 responds:

Was thinking about the blood streak, probably would have done it. well whatever, thanks for feedback and means a lot.

[American Horror Story: Coven]

Speaking in tongues? Venomous tongues? I don't know why, but David Bowie pops into mind when I see this. Symbolistic and interesting artwork.

-cd-

Eli-C responds:

Thank you, haha yeah, it does seem David Bowie-like.

[CrazyLove competition entry]

So that's what happened to those guys. XD Nice work with thise one! I love the details - like the three geese on the wall, the expressions; angle of it all. TV antenna looks a bit flat though. Nice work!

-cd-

Midget-Ninja responds:

Thank you so much for the kind review and advice about the antenna! Very appreciated XD

[Request: Dave & Carl Matrix]

Looking more awesome than usual here, though the shades look a bit small, almost like they're in their eyes. :P Cool work. Nice custom-made Matrix effect in the bg too. I wonder if there's any secret message there hmm (well, reading below, I guess not!)...

ChazDude responds:

Just random keyboard mashing up there, that's all c:

[Night Out Pt.2]

lmao. XD Lesson for the future: better bring a spare fork!

ChazDude responds:
