Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Concept 003: Aris]

This is pretty cool, and a pretty fluently animated/drawn character too! Any ideas on making a game out of this? Nice work!

-cd-

trixelbit responds:

I started making an open world game out of it but I ended up putting it on hold because a few issues. After I finish the game I'm designing now (the last art upload of mine), I plan on putting some time on re-designing it.
Here is a little demo of it >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x29Ahyp-go

[BOHO Party Subs]

Really nice mixture of colors, textures, shapes and then - that man in the middle. BOHO? Is that wordplay on HOBO?

-cd-

trixelbit responds:

You know it!

[Future Illusion]

Another cool dude! I like the gritty outlines on this one, and the form's great, all that's missing is a little detail. That background though... seems familiar... it's not your own is it?

-cd-

trixelbit responds:

nope, "borrowed" this background. Did that when I was learning to use gimp. Not exactly proud to be honest but I didn't originally made it to upload. It was more of a "why not upload it" thing.

[Smoke]

Looks like a pretty cool dude! The fill-in's are a bit sloppy, but I like the sketchy style otherwise. Maybe you could experiment a bit with nuances and textures apart from the outlines and fills? Keep it going!

-cd-

trixelbit responds:

Yeah, this mostly the product using cimp for the 1st time. It was more me experimenting in the program but now that you point some stylistic parts of it, I kinda wana mix the sketch line and add some asian styled faint water coloring.

[Lucario's Aura]

That ball of energy looks a bit edgy! Might be nice with some glow around it, some type of fade; some background? Character looks good! Simple but well-formed.

-cd-

TwistedPencilToons responds:

Thanks for your input! I agree with what you said as far as the aura ball. I might touch it up a bit. As far as backgrounds go, I don't feel as though I would do the foreground art justice (being as bad as I am at backgrounds). Thanks again!

[Style variation]

So... which styles are being copied? It's pretty cool how the image layers above the background, the blue outlines like ghosts on the site, but as a miniature it's a hard color to see, specially if the room's lit by sunlight.

-cd-

TheUnseriousguy responds:

probably should have mentioned which styles i copied, and i dont know why the images are transparent, i guess that's because its a png file.

[Bangalore]

A slice if the wise! Interesting with the play of colors, like a formation of aura, a channeling of energy, and the ground is rounded as if the worlöd's but a platform up to the stars. Nice work!

-cd-

grimharbor responds:

Thanks Cyber! This export actually has a huge error in it. There's a layer visible that was sposed to be dumped. I tried to delete and re-upload but to no avail. In this site I believe it shall have to exist with it there.

[yup.]

Hah, didn't actually realize you'd drawn this yourself when I checked out that animation! Was thinking more artists should skim the art portal, pick something out, make a personal interpretation of it... would be a fun idea for a collab. I like the sketchy style in this, and the way it's all framed in. Feels like the gradient sky doesn't really fit though. Keep it going!

-cd-

grimharbor responds:

Thanks again Cyber. I been thinking talong the lines of your colab idea. I'm a bit back logged on my own things, but when I have time again, I plan on attempting to animate some of my favorite artist's illustrations for fun. It's a great learning exercise.

[Octopus Tattoo]

I'm wondering how that yellow would look on skin, hmm how about a skin-tone color as background, to emulate the effect? Is your name going to be on the actual tattoo? :P I like the inky, blotchy parts, the octopus seems a bit simple in comparison, but form is funky and fluent. Are those... twirly hairs on its head? Btw, any meaning behind the motive? Nice work!

-cd-

Quarl responds:

I'm just trying to emulate the artist and style of my first tattoo. I have a surreal jelly fish inked on my back but Linn Olofsdottor didn't have any other work in the same vein (aquatic sea creatures) so I drew this up. I also really just wanted to design my own tattoo this time around.

The yellow dots will NOT turn up on skin. Good catch. My other tattoo has a similar yellow circle inked in it and the only reason why I can see it is because I know it's there :p

My artist name will be removed in the ink. I'm trusting that the tattoo artist will take a few creative liberties as well. If not I'll recommend it where ever they feel safe doing so. I gave the last tattoo artist that liberty and it payed off. If I like their portfolio pieces what could be the harm in giving them a little freedom?

Thanks for the review cyber devil!

[iPhone]

lmao, without even batting an eye! :D I'm thinking it looks a bit phoney somehow...

ChazDude responds:

I see what u did there :]
