LittleLuckyLink's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frosty evening]

I never got around to reviewing this, but I couldn't help but drop in to at least admire your work with the sky. Sunsets and sunrises have many different captivating color sequences, and I tend to struggle with which exact moment of dusk I would like to portray. This particular sunset palette has always intrigued me, but I've never managed to get it quite right. The loop is incredibly clean here and I love the effort you put into detailing all of the windows of the building.

windows did not require special efforts to create. Most tricky part was to create bus and car movement animations, so they while move diagonally wont jump on pixels like on stairs.

The incredibly smooth and precise detail of the leaves immediately drew me in. This piece is captivating, and every pixel breathes so much life so naturally. I could probably gush about the lighting alone for hours on end. Also, I love the exhaust fumes coming from the car! I had to double check that my memory served me correctly, but I recall suggesting adding exhaust fumes to a similar piece you posted a year ago- 'Car in a Snowy Yard.' I do still really enjoy that piece, but comparing this one side by side, your improvement as an artist really shines in a number of different ways.
I love your presence here and I greatly look forward to your next work!

aleha84 responds:

yes, creating exhaust fumes was provoked by comments to 'Car in a Snowy Yard' artwork. I'm trying always listen to other people CC

Looks like this outside right now, and this is how I felt on my way home from work. Excellent detail and lighting!

Wow, the water is amazing! This is arguably some of the most realistic water I've seen in artwork, and it's also pretty epic that it's made in pixels. It seems like each wave is alive, and there's not a single dull area. The light reflecting from the water is also very impressive, as the contrast is consistent with the distance, and the shape of the waves. In contrast to the water, however, the clouds do seem a bit under-detailed. I don't think it really detracts from this piece overall, but it is one thing that kinda stood out. I'd say otherwise, you absolutely nailed it here, and I really enjoy the subtleties in detail such as the reflection of the landscape into the water.

Very nice. I love the sharpness, especially in the water. The shading/dithering is also pretty smooth and well done, and I love the color palette. Also, a fellow Silent Hill fan I presume? Great username/profile pic.

This is awesome! Loving the aesthetic, and how smooth the animation is.

[Heather Mason - A Stray Child]

Nice! Great art style, and I think that your choice in background color is pretty fitting with the recurring blood-orange aura in the game.

Ah! Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! (^-^)

Yeah, if I I had to pick a color scheme to represent each game in the series, 3 would definitely have an orange-blood-red color theme. The game has such an aggressive vibe, especially when compared to the more sodden, moldy, melancholic vibe of Silent Hill 2. Some of the areas in Silent Hill 3 feel like they're screaming, if that makes any sense haha. I love it! (^w^)

Beautiful. The fantastic color palette you've chosen is exemplified by your excellence in lighting/shading/dithering.

[BERSERK]

WICKED!! I LOVE the colors here! Fantastic work!
