Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[UFOlde]

Alien races sure have been around. :) Would be strange if they'd only now, in this modern age, grow to know of our planet and drop in for a visit (as seems to be common in popular culture), and still things like this are rarely done! Apart from Cowboys and Aliens... this feels like a unique theme to work on. Looks good too!

Rosco789 responds:

thanks CD. Yeah, once I thought of the idea for this I started thinking if there had been any medieval meets alien films. Cowboys and Aliens did spring to mind.

[Rose]

Bit small resolution here (and you don't need that black border, the image will be centered automatically, unbordered, framed by the dark gray behind it), but the flower itself looks great, detailed and realistic. Hope there's more sketches!

-cd-

Jaws457 responds:

Thanks! I'll try to correct the resolution and the border, I'm still getting used to the website! Thanks for the review!

[Creepy Spaceship Corridor]

Really nice modelling here! Not zoomed in, it looks pretty real, I feel like I can tell it's not by the somewhat plasticly texture on the closest concrete partition of floor, maybe thanks to the added glow on that one spot, but overall... looks great!

RedVampyr responds:

Yeah I probably need to tune back the normal mapping and thanks :)

[Temper I]

Crazy, creative, awesome, abstractly artful shading of some mechanical contraption I do noth understand! It's almost like that classic task of drawing an apple... with a twist. ;) Nice work!

Maddus responds:

Thank you, glad you like it :)

[Aston]

A mighty fine Aston, in a simmering summer blue/green (turquoise I suppose I should say). Love the glow and gloss and that overall feeling of... luxury!

-cd-

Clootie responds:

Why thank you so much! I tried it in various colours, but found it really let off the screen using turquoise!

You'll also see I'm doing lots of crazy stuff with this car in various colours as this is part of commissioned work!

Thanks again for your kind words.

[Tiger Update]

A pretty fierce work of a tiger! Looking at it like this, with the sketchy blotches not yet smoothened, it's almost like you just took a photo and traced the bitmap (a common method in Flash back in the day, to recreate images without copyright), but the tongue and teeth break the illusion. Looks like it'll look pretty awesome when finished!

-cd-

Clootie responds:

Thanks very much for your feedback! I'm aware of the tracing technique, but that's kinda cheating in my opinion. I did however use a photograph as reference in a separate window. You'll see I also have an early sketch on Newgrounds of this tiger which acted as my guide for this.

I see what you mean about the tongue and teeth breaking the style somewhat. I hadn't thought or noticed that, so thank you for that observation! I think I'll simplify those to be more in keeping with the rest of it.

Thanks again.

[Laura]

One mighty big butterflyish bonnet for this finely outlined madame! Looks good.

-cd-

Clootie responds:

Haha! Thank you!

My younger sister got married a year ago, so I've been creating a series of simple portraits of main family members. Hoping to make a huge collage and having it printed as an interesting anniversary present lol

Thanks again for your kind words.

[Mr.Pickles]

Looks like you draw a lot of dugs huh! I like the color in this one, the glow, the red eye, the... gas-spilling scenario with lighter in hand that I somehow didn't perceive as out-of-the-ordinary-suicidally-psychotic until I'd been staring at the thunder and lightning for a while! Nice work.

-cd-

DrugFueledAnimals responds:

Hehe i dont just draw drugs if one might say. :P Anyways glad you like it! This dog might seem innocent at the first look, but he realy is the devil. You should check out some of the episodes on adultswim! This dog is capable of many things one might definetly not expect... Its quite a twisted show and thats what i like about it. :)

[CAKE!]

This is one savory pixel cupcake! :D

StrauberryPancakes responds:

Thanks!

[50 Films To See Before You Die]

Let's see, out of these 50 films I have seen... Pulp Fiction, Aguire, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, 2001, Back To The Future, Withnail & I, Alien, Apocalypse Now, Casablanca, The Wizard Of Oz, Chinatown, Citizen Kane, Up, This Is Spinal Tap, Fight Club, Cabaret, Dawn Of The Dead, Brazil, Pan's Labyrinth, Shawshank Redemption, Scarface, King Of COmedy, Trainspotting, The Usual Suspects, Donnie Darko (almost didn't see that one - I mean the text is tiny for some of these), Silence of The Lambs, Princess Mononoke, Life Of Brian, The Terminator aaand that's it. The ones I remember at least. I went on a marathon of old classics a few years back so I might have seen more but that I don't recall the titles of.

If I'd list 50 movies that must be seen I imagine the list would be a bit different though, a lot of martial arts classics, a lot of action, more movies that mess with your mind (well, Fight Club's a good one in that category). Current favorite is without doubt Inception, and among other recommendations I think I'dinclude Looper, Bad Boys 2, Addams Family and Chennai Express. In the list about Scarface is probably the one movie that impacted me the most; Al Paccino's most impeccable performance. Aaanyway, this was a nice poster! Though it would've been cool with some imagery, a collage of posters or something, since titles aren't always at the top of your mind. Nice work.

-cd-

Decky responds:

I know what you mean about the collage idea and some of my earlier sketches were leaning towards something in that vein but I really wanted to do something as a homage to Saul Bass. As for some of the text being small when printed out at it's A3 it's all clear, maybe it's the PNG file. Also I wasn't going for the titles to be read by that I mean that they are the lowest in the hierarchy of information.

Keep watching those films man and cheers for the review.
