LittleLuckyLink's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Southards Pond]

I absolutely love the color here, and the sharp attention to detail in the foliage. Absolutely beautiful, and I always enjoy reading your commentaries.

Bigfoot3290 responds:

Thanks! This one might be my favorite...certainly the work that got me back into casually painting again.

[Double King [RUMBLE REVEAL]]

Great choice, both artistically and imaginatively- I can easily visualize him in Smash. I saw you tackled this idea back in 2019 with a moveset submission, so it's cool to see it revisited in spirit of this art contest. Full of charisma, great coloring/shading, great concept. Cheers!

Alpha-Nuva responds:

The moveset concept is an idea I'm fleshing out into a YouTube series. And if it isn't, you can file this under "poorly aged things."

[The Witch]

Nice! Absolutely loving the color scheme, lighting, and sense of depth that you created between foreground/background objects. The light of the full moon shining in is a really nice touch. I enjoyed zooming in and taking a look around at all of the neat details you threw in. This piece vaguely reminds me of the album cover for Acid Witch's 'Witchtanic Hellucinations' which is pretty nifty.

JimmyNijs responds:

Thank you so very much for your kind words!
I'm glad you were able to appreciate all the finer details! It took me forever and I would have put in more, were it not for the fact I really needed to turn it in before Halloween.
Also, I have never heard of the band before, but I can definitely see some eerie resemblances in the composition and use of color haha! Incredibly cool, I'd love to make album cover art someday!

[High peaks]

Fantastic. This hits several notes for me- with the barn, autumn, mountains, everything. The color here is just vibrant enough without being overpowering, but still enough to add an extra sprinkle of magic to the piece overall. I especially like the subtle hints of warmer colors that glow among the blue of the background, like the pink in the sky for example. The textures are spot-on, especially in the grass and the trees. Great work on the depth, too!
How I'd love to live in this artwork..

Thank you for the kind words, it means so much to me and inspires me a lot :)

[Silentober 2020 Day 7 - Eddie]

"I'LL KILL 'EM, JUST LIKE THAT!"

Nice! Never heard of "Silentober," but it seems right up my alley.

BastianConst responds:

"IT'S ALL THE SAME ONCE YOU'RE DEAD! And a corpse can't laugh"

Thank-you :)

Normally I would have done the Inktober challenge, but I decided to change it up that year and do the challenge with a theme. Wanted to see if I could do 31 days of Silent hill stuff and made up "Silentober" as a reference to both Inktober and Silenthill.

[Static Blockhead]

Nice! I really like the linework and shading here. This piece kinda reminds me of the cover for 'In the Court of the Crimson King.' In my own mixed-media work, I tend to get carried away with ink and add too much, so it's pretty satisfying to see this piece where the amount of ink used is fairly balanced and fits well with the painting.

BastianConst responds:

Thank-you very much :)
Now that you pointed it out I can see the resemblance :D (Great band)

Just had a quick look in your gallery and your work is amazing! I really like your use of heavy lines to contrast with the bright colors you use. It works very well.

[Blue Hour]

The blue hour is probably my favorite time of the day- especially the aesthetic of combining it with faint city lights. The sweetest time, before the daylight overpowers the remaining city lights, is exactly what you've captured here and I love it! The impeccable attention to detail, as well as the subtle animation really bring this piece together! Great job as always <3

Kldpxl responds:

Thank you very much! Happy that you like it.

[Barrier City]

You're always killing it with your cityscapes! This one looks especially smooth and realistic- especially in the lighting department. It's very fun and interesting to zoom in on some of the smaller details, and it's satisfying to see how sharp they came out. Also, the fog/smog is super nice and adds a powerful sense of depth to this enormous city.

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks ! :) Im so glad you point these things out, its what I was aiming for here.

[Lighthouse]

Lighthouse! Very nice! I'm really loving the sky. My only critique is that I feel as though the light would be much brighter, but you were working with a pretty tricky perspective and this ultimately doesn't take away from the work overall :) Perhaps a lens flare might be a good touch? Regardless, the sky is absolutely hypnotic, and I love the small detail of the light coming from within the house.

aleha84 responds:

It was a question for me also, how bright should be the light. I checked original photos of this lighthouse and it has frosted glass.
