Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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!

I like the colors in this, the clouds and waves and the beach all appear in really different shades. The stars appearing at the top looks nice, and the aplmtree silloutess are a powerful effect, shadows look good too. Looking at it in original size the sky is almost too bright, but as small version it looks good. Keep it up!

seltekkodes responds:

Thank you, I thought about trying to deepen the colors on the sky, maybe just use a translucent layer over it to darken it some, but Haven't tried it.

[Castle crashers]

lmao, you can't mess with Angry Faic! It's nice how there are faces in everything here. the sun, the.. eh, tree (Behemoth)?, and yeah, obviously the characters too. Shapes are a bit ackwards but I appreciate the effort put into details like grass, shading, etc. Keep it up!

Thank you! More like this coming check the art fourm

[Drifting Hearts]

I like it! Someone anything with a ship feels like a notion of freedom. I like the background texture and how the waves are just constituted of lines. Reminds me of a stamp somehow. the curls that reach into the hull, the swirls on the clouds, the strange creatures hanging from the clouds, they're all interesting additions, and the ship itself looks great! Looks realistic.

No comments on how you made this? That's always interesting to read. Look forward to more!

sisho responds:

Thank you!
Well, they're all vectors made in illustrator. I usually sketch the whole scene in a paper, then scan it and vetorize it. I also used some photo reference for the ship, cause i wanted it to look more realistic.
It's a bit of a time consuming and lame method, but since i've never got used to digital tables, I started drawing this way.
Soon I'll be posting more.

Cheers!

Hah, Mona Lisa in pixel form is still undone, maybe, that would be cool. This is a nice twist to a classic painting, though you can still add a lot of detail to it. Her clothing is just a patch of white, no shading or anything. Nice start; hope you continue it!

DriedSquidHero responds:

Yeah, I wanted to go in-depth with Peach here but restricting her to the original color palette makes a much stronger connection to her original sprite. It's a trade off I'm willing to make :q

Thank you very much for the review.

[SUGOI]

Awesome. D The combination of color and expression is just amazingly awesome. :D Really nice style too, without any real outlines, still all features clearly defined. Nice work!

daigonite responds:

the funny thing is I tried to do outlines but my hands shake when I hold the stylus so I don't exactly have much of a choice

[Puppy]

He looks sad somehow; it's all in the eyes. very lifelike and melancholy sketch, must've taken some time to draw all that fur. Great job!

-cd-

xpikafreakx responds:

You would think that it did take time for the fur but it really didn't. Thank you for your review it really means a lot. :)

[Wizard]

I like how he has white hair all around his face, like there's barely any skin showing at all! Makes me think of Santa Clause a bit, anyway, nice style making the background white seem like a miss (os is that white affed after?). Looks good!
