LittleLuckyLink's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[madness]

Nifty. A lot can be taken away from the sheer scale of the madness as opposed to the house. The dark and cold environment furthers this. Great work with the shading and coloring as well.

[The King in Yellow]

The linework, coloring, and shading are spot on. I love the sense of obscurity behind the cloak. Do you intend on finishing the background? I'd be really excited to see a complete version.

nathanandersonart responds:

Thanks so much!

Since the figure is pretty detailed, I'm going to keep the background as a line drawing- my plan with these is to have a description to pair along with the image. :)

[WAKE ME WHEN I ARRIVE]

Beyond the composition, to the infinite realm of interpretation, this is truly a magnificent piece. Thank you.

[Hank]

Neat! Props to how seamlessly the hands appear to be floating. Keep it up!

Rukuha-san responds:

Thank you for noticing! Before that I hadn't really paid attention to the fact that hands are usually a little farther from the torso, so I had to place them at an angle to make wrist seem farther away.

[Still Life - Cat, Bottles, Pear and Ball]

It's always incredibly refreshing to see more traditionally made art on the front page- not to trash on digital art, but there's a certain type of magic that comes from something created without the ease of ctrl+Z.
I really like how this turned out. The bottles look damn near real, particularly the blue one. You really nailed the opacity and contrast on the green one as well. The cloth texture and shading is also fantastic. The fact that you maintained a consistency with the light source between each of the shadows and reflections is also incredibly admirable. Keep it up!

[Neil Breen's Double Down]

I'm so happy to see Mr. Breen's face on the front page of Newgrounds. Solid work.

jouste responds:

thanks! I had a feeling he'd be appreciated her more than other places.

[Early summer]

I always look forward to seeing new works from you. This is absolutely stunning, probably one of my top favorites of yours. You definitely have an eye for lens-flares, and it really shows here. Your color palette is so pleasing to the eyes. I think the only thing here that stands out to me is the rhythm of the water breaking the shoreline- it seems a bit fast. Aside from that easily ignored observation, the wind and glimmering of the water near the horizon is spot-on! Great touch with the kitty too, definitely makes me feel at home :)

Kldpxl responds:

Thank you very much!

[CM - Morndrak Marches.]

Phobotech pretty much nailed it with his review below. This is fantastic. "Dizzying" is a great word to describe this. It gives me that same feeling I get when I'm standing in front of an enormous skyscraper. The color is pretty darn spot-on too. The only thing I can think of that stands out may be a conflicting level of contrast between the backs of some of the knights walking up, and what I may see in some of those darker rocky areas closer to the view. Perhaps specifically in the lower left corner near your logo. I feel like some of the shading in the rocks could be a bit darker. The shading on the rocks further away, however, is impeccable considering the distance from the viewer it would actually be.
Either way, this is super captivating, and very well made. Great job!

Kayas-Kosmos responds:

Thank you! And great critique, too. This could definitely use a push with the contrast nearer the foreground.

[Selfie]

God damn your work never ceases to amaze me. Love the colors in this one, especially the hints of cyan.

[Back to back against the world]

Very nice work, especially with the color palette. You made some very good artistic choices with this one, especially regarding the contrast with the background. Keep it up!

Ioruko responds:

Thank you! I had to come up with a new palette for the background, so it was a good practice too
