Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ninja Girl I guess?]

Another pretty cool sketch. She looks somewhat like a mixture between Anko and... Tsubasa? Keep it going!

LemKuuja responds:

I will finish it digitally, after I'm done with my next animation. I've started working on both. %50 done with the animation, and %45 done with the picture.

[Drow Ranger Pencil Drawing]

Man you must have pretty fun biology classes! It's a nice sketch, smooth and neatly shaded. That bendy arm looks a bit weird though. Is this part regular pencil and part ink? Or two pens and part pencil? Nice sketch!

-cd-

LemKuuja responds:

Thank you!
The outlines were 0.5 ballpoint inking pen. I think Uni or something idk.
The shading was with a 2B Pencil. The make up on her face was made with a blue dry ink pen, not so great for drawing, but I didn't carry any drawing equipment at that time, and I really wanted to finish it so fast!

[Explicit Treasure Island]

Out of the two posters posted this one's a definate favorite! The background isn't just a texture in this but actually serves a purpose, both acting bones and delivering a subtle subliminal marketing message on what to expect from the movie (?). Colors are clear and contrast nicely, though the black text in this doesn't stand out as sharply as the yellow one. How would it look in white? Or with an outlined wooden texture? Also applicable to the text at the top.

For the skull the contrast is almost too sharp between background and text, and still the coins almost seem to be floating above it. I feel the text should be the focus (the title I mean) but as it is the coins and the OG logotype seem to be the foremost layer, the skyll and text the second, the background text the third and the background (which btw - I think would look pretty awesome with an overlay of the skulls from the other poster - maybe faded so they're barely visible) last in line. How about hiding the coins in sockets, encapsulating them in glow/inner shade? And fading the text?

Overall it looks great though, the forms are nice as is the placement.I see this one has a subtle border too, but not sure it serves a purpose. Is it better with or would it be the same without it? How would it look if it was just a bit transparent so it didn't cut the outer text? Nice work!

Decky responds:

And cheers again mate.

[Implicit Treasure Island]

Are those white borders supposed to be there? If they aren't left-over canvas (which is the impression I get) it seems odd they'd outline only the sides and not also top and bottom of the artwork, they work better by the pattern, but with the black box at the bottom it's a real sharp contrast that ends abruptly. I feel a white frame all the way around would be better if they are meant to be there, or with some form of fade at the ends, maybe placed behind the bottom box?

The image itself is clean and stylish. I like the seamless background texture especially, and the occasional blotches of coor that make them seem to fade (could use some more of that). How everything: backgrounds, images and text consist of only two colors is pretty neat, and the text is easy to read; the fonts well-fit for the motive, especially the lower two.

Zoomed in the circular one it seems a bit blotchy, but when you view it from a distance - as I suppose it is meant to be viewed - it looks perfect. I like the effectual swirling stain of black and the pirate play in style of the stereotype sign character. Only thing that looks a bit out of place is that hat, with the dark line at the top. How about using the same line thickness as for the wooden peg? And maybe a more obvious shape?

The OG logotype at the top looks good zoomed out, but if you go in for a closer look it's incredibly pixelated, I'd think a vectorized version of that would work better, and while you're at it, how about cutting out the background block and just imprinting the insignia on the background, in white or with outline? Or not, could be good as it is in clearer form... could be aligned a bit more to the right though.

I'm wondering how this would look with some more effect along edges and characters, maybe masking in textures, using subtle glow or gradient shifts? For optimal effect! But the minimalist approach isn't bad either. Nice work!

Decky responds:

Cheers for the review mate :).

[The Artful Dodger]

If I didn't know this was a painting, it'd be easy to mistake for a photo with a filter. The fur on the cat is particularly realistic. It looks like you're using brushes for blotches of fur (?) rather than individual strands, but it works well, the colors blend together nicely as does the overall texture. Especially the back and top of head looks perfect, and the eye really glitters until you zoom in (looking closely that border around the eye gives it away) but the 'beard' feels unnaturally large or brushy when compared to the rest of the cat. The left eye is so hidden it almost seems forgotten, until you zoom in. I guess this might have something to do with how the fur on the eyelid floats together perfectly with the rest of the face. I wonder if it does this in reality too?

The covers and wall look good, but they aren't quite as realistic as the critter. Lines and shades are all fuzzy here, and it's clear that parts a painting. Looks good though, and sorry about the cat. Keep up the good work!

AZSniperFox responds:

Thank you for your review. The cat had only one eye in life as it was surgically removed due to a rather nasty infection that occurred before we found him. Yet I will keep your critique in mind when working with fur.

[Blue eyes (Manga Style)]

Green glow? Is that normal? It looks good though, nice glow, nice shading, nice eyelash and glass and everything. You've got an eye for this sort of art! :P

DIWAKAR responds:

Thanx Dude ! WOOT WOOT !

[3D Newgrounds Logo (tribute)]

Pretty cool! Wonder what program you used to make this? Background would've been awesome with the traditional NG rays in white/orange btw. Nice work!

-cd-

DIWAKAR responds:

Thanx

[Gods will]

Pretty cool effects! I like the glow around the different characters, and how the outline color matches the glow. As for the shadow... wonder how darker outlines would've looked? Anyway, this is a detailed work, nice work on both characters and scenery. The sketchy style is fluid and just neat enough. Hmm, those eyebrows on the moon look a bit odd. :P Keep it going!

DIWAKAR responds:

Yeah Replying some old reviews . IDK how i forgot to reply yours
