Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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!

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!

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!

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 :]

[The White Death]

The portrait itself doesn't look very humanlike IMO, the dark mouth, lack of facial features... though I guess that's supposed to go with the 'white death' theme. You definitely get a sense of cold. I enjoyed reading the historical blurb that went with it though, an impressive person!

-cd-

aggimajera responds:

Yeah, I went with this other picture where he wore a mask with only eye holes over his face (to protect him from the cold). And of course I wanted to get it to the viewer that this guy sat in extreme temperatures just to kill Russians.
He was an extraordinary man!

In case you're curious about that, its right here

I'll keep your pointers in mind for the next one, though. Thanks for the input!

[Finn The Emotion Lord]

Oh what a monstrous entity! I haven't seen either of these, but I recognize the Adventure Time character in him at least. Those eyes are crazy. O_o Nice background energy, nice color and shading, nice work!

-cd-

pachulio responds:

:D Thanks man!!!! I was cossing the two series, its beacuse on internet are many theories that both series are from the same universe. Anyway you should see bravest warriors its better than A.T.
So thanks again dude!!!!!

[The Drawing Grounds 1]

Man this is pretty awesome for something made with Drawing Grounds. It's like a bird, or a butterfly, or a mask, or just a real creative mesh of color and detail. I like it!

-cd-

pachulio responds:

Thanks dude!!!!!! I was trying to do the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann face as I remember

[Feraligatr]

Woo, the Pokemon I've probably battled the most with out of any one owned critter; always chose as starter in Gold; Heartgold, the only real next-gen beast that I've grown to accept and eventually evolved and leveled unto previously unseen heights and levels! Nice work. Especially the teeth, they seem like they'd easily tear a Shark to shreds, and the way the edges fade is pretty cool. Eyes feel a bit locked in somehow, not as lifelike as they could've been. Nice work!

-cd-

Te3Time responds:

Hey thanks for the comment
Feraligatr is definitely one of my favourite starters and I really love his design ^^

[Dat Carbon]

Seems like a somewhat sinisterly slithery character. Nice detail on the textures. Feels like some of the facial features blend in a bit with the darkness though, like the eyes, would've been cool if those 'glowed' a bit more (brighter colors maybe?). Nice work!

-cd-

Ericasdfred responds:

I'm still a noobie at drawings and i can't really get good effects done on paper. This is by far one of my best works. She IS fairly sinister, but she's a good girl if you know how to treat her. Thank you a lot for your feedback!!
