Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hello Daft Eva]

Awesome concept making a couple portrait in the form of, ehm... gundams? Really cool character designs, with some unique gender-specific traits. That ribbon and that LED heart somehow seem so comical in contrast to the otherwise awesome character designs. Nice one!

Dan8bit responds:

They're meant to be the Evas unit-01 and unit-02 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. The one on the left is supposed to be Hello Kitty, while the one on the right is Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk.

[I Think We're Lost This Time.]

Usually pixel art comes with small characters, cartoons and/or comedy. This is quite different, it looks like a scene from a platformer and at the same time with long realistic characters. I like the patterns on all the different textures. The dirt, the door, the background, everything is detailed and at the same time simple as all is with pixels. Any plans on transforming your art into a game? It would be awesome. Keep it going!

Dan8bit responds:

Really appreciate the feedback. I'm no coder, but if anyone ever approached me to do a set of sprites or some backgrounds/textures/whatever I'd definitely consider it.

[Miss tia pinup]

In this case, simple is good; she's a real beuty. That combined blush and grin of temptation works wonders combined with that pose. Great shapes, colors, contours, everything! I wouldn't mind a perfected version of this but even as a sketch it looks great. Keep it going!

HOLIMOUNT2 responds:

thanks for the review mate ill look into it

[BOOBIES! :D]

Yay! Boobies! :D The message would be obvious even without the caption, but the way it's enforced makes it all the more comical. As for the white lines on the edges, have you tried the magic wand? I mean, the tool called the magic wand, it gets rid of edges pretty well with the right sensitivity setting. Otherwise, a lot of manual labor with the eraser does the job. Nice art otherwise, keep it up!

squishywuggems responds:

haha shank u, i have no clue wut a magic wand is, i get too lazy to erease edges because my computer mouse tis a butt

[Knuckles and Tikal]

Have you noticed there's no rating panel outside the main art portal? So you can skip those 'Vote 5' comments. :) As for the art itself, it looks good! Though I prefer your style without dark lines (imagine how awesome this would've looked without them!) the shading and lighting and shapes is all nicely done. Also a character duo you don't see very often, if ever. Maybe the first of its kind here at nG? :P eep it going!

DJaxsNG responds:

:( oh... i didn't know that.. Been on NG since I was 10 and I still don't know the rules. -_- and thanks.

[Pikachu: Reach Upon the Light]

Now this looks awesome, comparing to your older work its a whole new level! The lack of lines doesn't make the character stand out less, Pikachu looks as dimensional as he can get in this one, great work with the light and shading, also nice effect on the grass. It looks so fuzzy and soft. Not to mention the stars that's he's apparantely trying to reach. I like his confounded gaze. Keep it going!

-cd-

DJaxsNG responds:

Thanks.. I appreciate the review..
I wanted to try something new it. I've been getting better using a mouse when it came to digital drawing.. so THIS appeared.
I was pretty lazy to actually detail the grass and stuff, I just brushed, water blended, and blurred. -_-
^ ^ lol.. and pikachu isn't reaching for the star... it's a yellow lighting bug. :)

[Byakuren Hijiri (Touhou)]

Is this a 3d model? Looks great, good shape and shading! The dark blue ocean in the background looks a bit dark, and in smaller size it's like a line across the background, how about a less ovious shade? Apart from that, looks great! Nice one.

-cd-

Viole responds:

Ah, sorry for such a late reply. Never did check back here. Yes it is a 3D model.

The darkness is being caused by an effect used within the program. It also causes the slight blur effect you see here. I have since stopped using it.

[The Bad Banditt]

Intentional banditt typo? As for the art, looks like an appreciable main character, reminds me of Hamtaro or something: his evil glare is just petrifyingly... cute, lmao. Background and character look great, but the title is a bit plain, and it would probably look better centered, or in one or two lines instead of three. Will you be posting the comic here? Keep it going!

-cd-

ZHADOW125 responds:

the comic for the bad banditt is in pre production progress it is not a typo, there is 2 t's for double the terror he strikes, i am open to suggestions, i will be realeasing all 3 comics "Hat Boy, The Bad Banditt, and Cookie Wars the first issue for free, i will try to publish all three in stores after the first issues so be on the look out, hatboy will be out soon

[Hyrulean Gothic]

Haha, random comment much? Apart from the character eyes somehow looking very old and serious in this drawing (on second though, all the facial features probably have something do do with it) this pixelish interpretation of Link and... I forget her name, looks great! Especially the shading in their faces is detailed and simple at the same time, working with squares like this to do detail work must be a challenge. I guess there is no gradient for light gry or similar on the palette since the blotches of white are all white, like the Peach/Mona Lisa one? It would look good with some more color where theres only white, but apart from that, nice work!

-cd-

DriedSquidHero responds:

I'm glad it had that impression on you, because the original is a pretty somber piece too. Link & Zelda hahaha :] The constant checking to see if each square fits the right color does get tedious, but I'm glad I had a wider color palette this time. Still strict on the palette though; their sprites, at least from FS/FSA, didn't have greys, again. My guess as to why greys are so left out is that, along with visual limitations, the designs for most characters are meant to be vibrant. But I'm glad you still liked it.

Thank you very much for another review!

[Lick & Stime]

Nice. Pretty creative style too, haven't seen anything like it before. I'm wondering what program you use to make something like this, and how? Surely it's not as it look, that it's really made up entirely of dots, or is it? When you say neogeo, are you referring to that old console?? Keep it going!

-cd-

DriedSquidHero responds:

Well, while (as I learned AFTER I did this) there are admittedly MUCH easier ways of doing this, I used Adobe Illustrator to create each dot, duplicate, and then create a grid (with the align tools). Each dot is it's own object, so the only thing that isn't a dot is the black background. Oh and by neogeo I mean Newgrounds. Some work doesn't seem to fit the Newgrounds vibe. I suppose that's just the way it is.

Thank you again for all the reviews!
