Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fart 10 - Vivi]

The Nami one might've been good but this one, woah! :D It's not just the form, but the eyes, the color contrast... something about this just really shines. Great work on the hair as well. And maybe it's also the gaze, straying far away, to dreams, hopes and visions... maybe the ponderous pose... I don't know. Just all in all very appealing.

Oh-Sama responds:

Thank you dear friend. Now I'm taking a small break before getting my ass back to work on your other commissions. I hope they can turn greater than this piece XD

[Fart 9 - Nami]

Nami looking smooth and sensual! Back to the original anime skin tone too, when everything was slightly more orange and oldskool. :P Not too complex but the form's on point! Nice one.

-cd-

Oh-Sama responds:

Thanks and I agree with you!

[The Golden One]

Form's good, but the oddly cut-out edges hmm... not certain about those! Is it meant to look like a golden frame... ah, read response below. Feeling like that bit could use a bit more polish. :P Otherwise not bad.

-cd-

Nana responds:

Thanks , while doing the edges , i was in a hurry for a class. So i could not do it on time.

[Winter Dance]

So the white blotches are, hmm, they're like... clouds with icicles beneath them...? I'm still a bit baffled by the background, but I'm digging the color otherwise! A cool blue and beautiful hue. Smooth and icy. The white dots and remnants along the edges almost feel like an enhancement too, more like sparkles than leftover canvas. Really nice.

If there's any thing to improve, apart from the still somewhat baffling background, maybe the forzen lake could have more of an icy surface texture? As it is it almost seems like an empty abyss - especially with how the strands of ice by the shore are reaching downwards more than outwards.

But overall: a dual sense cool. Nice one.

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

Yup, the icicle clouds a bit of a baffling, if not unusual background choice.
And and yeah as for the my frozen lake, I'm still working on see the 3d effect to look right. Getting better everyday is all that I hope for lol
Thanks for reviewing this.

[Lava Dragon's Spa]

So that's how these guys relax. :) Explains why we don't see them too often too... they're simply lounging around at the source of our world. The center. The core of all.

Form and color on this one: it's just impeccable. Love the design, the detail and the fiery contrasts. Awesome work.

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

lol yeah I thought it'd be an interesting one to capture. I'm very happy with the way he turned out too, trying to make him blend in but not so much that you couldn't see him.
Thank you, I'm glad to hear you liked it.

[Inktober2019 Day 31 - Ripe]

Had to skip a bit and see how this all ended. :) With a masterful, imaginative and somewhat morbid pumpkin-devouring Halloween scene of course (the main dragon in particular - very nice)!

I like the motive, and the choice of color, but it does seem a bit incomplete with the blotches of white that yet remain in back of it... for the signatures btw, have you thought of drawing them in, instead of having pre-written text? I imagine it'd really float into the image that way. You could follow curves and other edges in a way premade fonts don't really allow.

Anyway: a suitable seasonal finale, and work well done on the lot of these! Hope to go through the rest at a later time. Happy Halloween (again)!

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

Haha yes, this one is a bit...morbid. R.I.P poor pumpkin but in the baby dragon's defense he just wanted to join in the Halloween spirit.

I felt the same too, about the blotches of white yet. When I was doing it, I wanted to captured to black and white always colored worlds collided into one but I don't think these peculiar piece cuts it so I'm working on re-colorizing him so I'll have a "remastered" drawing done soon.

I hope you see the rest too. I illustrated a lot of ones for humor and enjoyment as well as mystery and few other themes lol thanks for checking it out!

[Inkober2019 Day8 - Frail]

So serene... for some reason he gets me thinking of a Buddhist monk. Like the facial features radiate a wisdom beyond that of a mere baby. The form's great apart from the one pinky. Nice scene.

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

Thank you.
Well, each illustration is suppose to tell a different story to each person and if that what you see, cool, I've accomplished my goal;)
Yeah I'm working on my form, truth be told that's my first baby drawing and that pinky....well I'm not too good with hands yet but I'm getting better. Hands are always a challenging body to draw.

[Inktober2019 Day7 - Enchanted]

I think there's an 'all' too much in the poem. ;)

Really enjoying these forest motives overall, and you really managed the perfrect signiture placement with this one.

The forms are great, the colors... some stark, but some somewhat dark. Some gradients somewhat bright. Maybe the grass could shift in a more grass-like hue? Maybe some mushrooms could be a different color, orange, yellow, a little speckles or shades (well there is one)? A little softer green on the mossy branches? A little color faded by sunlight on the tattered edge of her dress?

The motive's great but I seem to see the forest in somewhat different hues. Can't say this is wrong but those impressions they ruse. The trees with the moss, the leaves and the lost, the green and the grass, the free and the rash... think just looking at these motives is pretty therapeutic too. Grounded and imaginative. Another nice one.

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

Gosh, I can't help by be a bit overjoyed by your attraction to details(not to same that I'm not, gosh do I pay to details...maybe a little to much lol). Most people when they comment on my work, don't really give much of a detailed comment like you did. I'm very happy with your review. I'm just breaking into digital painting so at the time I did these, I hadn't figured out shading and shadows. Grass though.....grass has always been my greatest and hardest challenge....
Perhaps I'll do a remaster of this too.
It you like, I'll have no problem doing it;P Then I can surprise you how much I've learned in the time making this. haha
Thank you again for the review.

[Inktober2019 Day6 - Husky]

He does look pretty charming! :D Entertaining signs in the background that make a suitable frame at the same time, realistic form and all, this looks pretty good. Feeling like it might be possible to further enhance puppy eyes and sloppiness of the tongue, also claws (?), but overall this is great.

Also these time frames oh my god. XD Must've taken a lot of polish time... Mahahahahahaha? XD

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

Well I'm glad he's charmed you haha
The cautions signs I thought worked very well because I didn't have a background from him, then I got the thought and the rest followed.
I suppose his eyes and tongue could be enhanced....either way, thought he'd still be cute.
lot of time that's for sure, killed one of my sharpies, inking in all that huskiness.

[Inktober2019 Day 5 - Build]

I do love dragons, and mecha, and ancient mechanical mysteries even more, so this was a real feast! :D Such intricate details, and imaginative/clear forms no less. The colors really bring forth these mythical beasts as well, though so bright wings... wonder if they could've appeared even more mythical/magical/ancient with a somewhat darker or jaded hue. I wonder how it would look with a little shading or texture too... not that it isn't enough as is.

Not to complain unnecessarily since this really is awesome but it does seem a little incomplete when some elements are colored and some aren't, as well. I imagine if the canvas was simply light gray, or something similarly ground-like, then that'd be enough. The white shines a bit. Becomes a focus point around the main motive.

Also holy shit you've sure poured in a heavy dose of time into some of these! Turned out great though.

-cd-

KaileahPNelson responds:

Haha yes, this is definitely one of my favorites indeed. Yes, 14 hours to be precise, only 1 hour of which was coloring. I have two rendering of this one actually.
The only reason why this one was uploaded was because (being new and all), I thought that because it was to be done in ink, inktober was suppose to be mainly black and white and I see other people post black and white but they added an element of color here and there so I tried it.
I'll be posting the full color one soon, with shading and with as much texture that I've learn to use.
Keep an eye out. lol
