LittleLuckyLink's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[cut it out]

I responded to your BBS thread but figured I'd also leave a review here.

I really like the linework and the watercolor. The lighting/shading is pretty smooth, but I feel like the white shine towards the middle is a bit strong. The blue shadows on the face, and the color of the eye makeup is awesome! The angle of the face was a bit difficult to make out at first, though it looks like it's a profile view? As I mentioned in the thread, I deal with similar issues with my hair on occasion, especially after a good concert with a ton of headbanging. My hair turns into a weird tree-like series of almost dreadlock-like tangles. I've had trouble discerning my own face in the mirror after some of these shows, so I feel like stylistically, this is a positive.

Aside from that, not a bad piece! I think it might have been cool to expand upon this by having hair strands floating around or otherwise being chaotic in the background. I'll have to check out more of your artwork as it's always refreshing to see watercolor work. Keep it up!

Love it! There's a delicate and balanced level of grittiness in the shading which blends wonderfully with the colors that pop in all of the right places. I've always enjoyed the blending of futuristic/urban environments with nature, which you've done really well here. ALSO KITTIEEEESSSSS. I count six, and they're all magnificent and deserve all of the cuddles. I almost missed the lizard too! So many neat details packed in here.

Phorgwizard responds:

6 kitties :3 I was fostering them back then, minus the one on my lap, she's still with me. Now I have 7 gremlins looking for homes hahaha

[Photobucket]

Yikes, I wish I could have passed this info on to you sooner, but if you email them a data request and cite GDPR, they'll give you a free trial and let you access your files for free. It worked for me and a bunch of others. Either way, I'm glad you were able to get some of your files back. Mine were all backed up on other devices anyway, but it didn't hurt to check.

Anyway, a quick review of the actual art:

This is pretty neat. I like the organic colors that you used here. It makes me think of either an insect's body, or perhaps some exotic tropical plant that will either kill someone, or give them super powers. Or possibly a tropical insect/plant hybrid that does both? Also gives me rorschach vibes.

NerRavine responds:

Yeah, I learned about the free trial a few hours after I forked over my $5 or however much they asked for. Hopefully your comment might help someone else avoid that little fee. Photobucket is a shitshow.

And thank you. Amazing that you can see so much in this photo.

freshavacado!

maruki responds:

hehehe thanks a lot! I get hungry too!

The colors and contrast here are outstanding, and the rainbow goo is absolutely mesmerizing. The brush stroke details, especially in the ground/grass is also very well done!

[Garden of Daydreams]

The colors are absolutely beautiful, and I love the aesthetic of the faint pattern in the background and the shape of the clouds. The lighting is also really well done. Fantastic work!

Akromaly responds:

Thank you! Colors are my favorite thing to work with! 💚

[Artificial Harvester of Human Progress]

This is extremely cool. I'm sorry that the contest didn't work out. I also generally dislike AI, especially in the context of art contests. Like, maybe have a separate category for AI creations? So lame.
This, however, is absolutely awesome. The detail on the flesh is so good, and the general position and depth of this piece makes it a truly unnerving and harrowing visual. I also really love the coloring, especially in the water. I also love the tie(?) Amazing work.

holy hell i was not prepared for the three dimensional actual teeth on this piece lmao
loving the ever evolving style and expression in your work, especially with the golden/metallic paints.

[The Plague is back!]

Ginyu Vibes 100%
Loving the poses and the motion in this piece. I'm the one dabbing.

I used some meme poses as references

[A Super mario 64 globe!]

This is absolutely breathtaking- the sheer amount of detail and creativity that went into this is unmeasurable. Mario 64's always been one of my all-time favorites, and I had a ton of fun zooming in and seeing all of the detail that you were somehow able to fit in here. On top of that, the way you creatively connected each of the levels not only makes sense, but also creates a captivatingly aesthetic flow. AWESOME!
