Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Feelings: Aren't You The Same Thing?]

Really like this one! The fluent forms, the color, the texture fits right in too. I... can't really read the intention though. The subject matter... life, death, joy, sadness? He's holding something but I'm not sure what it is. A raised fist in the background. An upside-down cross. Smells like revolution, or a crusade, or something sinful, but the title confuses me a bit... not sure what it's all about after all.

Then again that just makes it all the more intriguing...

DevilRat responds:

I will let people decide what this is about. If recognize the symbolism and how similar their behavior it will link together.

[Unlabeled 2]

Hmm, your signature pointing downward towards the roof of the one house, it seems like? Or is that arrow more so a symbol within the signature? Interesting work using textures along with the painting, and abstract forms... feels like a both chaotic and soothing landscape, though a form to the right that's... like a thumb? The cannon on a tank? Makes you wonder a bit.

The balloons really stand out too. Like it was meant to be a party, but people just didn't feel like it after all... or like they were about to start but had to evacuate? An ode to the world situation right now? Intriguing scene.

As always so atmospheric work on the lighting too.

DevilRat responds:

A lot of my earlier digital paintings are built upon Asian architecture, specificly. Japanese architecture. The balloons were sort of a refrence to.... Up, but can also mean but also add to this clown world.

[Kayle]

Before I read the description I was thinking maybe it was a play on kale, the overground edible. :) Expression somehow comes across really emphatic and kind though, and the quick bio even more so, glad she's not... nice one.

Also subtle environmental moral: quit dumping shit in 'em oceans!!!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Make coral reefs happy again c:

[Unlabeled 5: Stones and Mushrooms]

Magical. :) The amount of detail you put into these... love the way you integrate the lightning, and the slightly abstract forms just make it seem all the more like a fairy tail.

Also: imagine some levels like this for a Worms World Party battlefield! :D The style's somewhat similar, but so much more elaborate scenery than the ones they have built-in...

DevilRat responds:

The early process gave me so much of a nostiligia feel of the C64. I somewhat been trying to improve it. Allowing colors to bleed, a tad harsher than a digital painter named Marco Bucci. It's mostly a one layer affair or a constant merging of overlay layers which create the visuals. October has been having my most impressive and best works. Less is more for me. This only apart of the unlabeled paintings of mine due to... Well I don't give my work meaning and just find it admitly dumb to label paintings that showcase.

I heard of Worms. Due to it being an Amiga game. I find limiting my palette to three colors really works out in my favor. 2 Can work, Three HEAVILY, one also greatly. Four colors primarly, FUCK THIS SHIT I AM OUT! I just find I stay fairly muted in four, but 2 I can get away with that.

[CItyhunters Pinup: Boska and Claire]

Enjoying the creative, both futuristical and somewhat oldskool design with these! That's a spacey-looking motorcycle too and hmm, no lower clothing visible...

d-z responds:

That's because she isn't wearing any :3

[Drawtober 19]

Everyone switching up the names on this Inktober thing. :) Nice one though. Sometimes less really is more too, line work stands out strong, and fluent forms as always...

linda-mota responds:

you know after the legal mess of that jake guy and actually watching and following the plagerizm of his book i'm not cool with supporting that tag. i think lack of legal understanding and a possible ghost writer is to blame. there's better ways to copyright as i've done that shit before so ya know.

[Fart 17: Max Pain]

lmao! XD I didn't read the request before I saw this so I definitely did not expect this... so wrong but so right. So awesome. Expression just fits perfectly.

-cd-

Oh-Sama responds:

Max Pain, Insane Mode, Dicks 4 Guns!

[RainbowRoad]

The pastels with the rainbow in particular burn so bright... and nice work with capturing the glow on the ground and, somewhat, on the mountainside. It's a nice piece, though the sky... seems a bit green too? Colors outside of the rainbow float together a bit. Maybe that could've been a main focus, it does catch your eye but doesn't really dominate the canvas...

Either way a solid first! Do like the atmosphere. Would be cool to see more.

Mohabot responds:

Yeah. I wished to become a good drawer in the past, but I was never genuinely interested in it... it seems like. I'm more into coding/Computer science than art tbh. Seems like I've found my nische.

[Tankmon]

Such a beast, and perfect for the Grounds no less! :D

Always liked desert too. Wonder if I draw a parallel to the beach when i see sand, or if it's more so to vacation, the sand a reflection of the summer warmth such time entails... whatever it is though I'm getting good vibes out of this one too. Nice one.

TaraGraphika responds:

Thank you for the lovely review as always cd~:)
