LittleLuckyLink's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pixel Background]

Not bad! I like the shading here, especially on the rocks. There's a good sense of depth as well. I feel that the sky, once it gets to the brightest point, seems a bit empty. Other than that, the tower in the distance, and the bright green up front to give that contrast make this a really nice piece.

Also, I'm curious- what program did you use to make this? I just gave pixel art a try using photoshop and spent a good while trying to figure out why the pixels weren't exporting sharply. I found that I needed to set the quality when exporting/resizing to "nearest neighbor" in order to preserve the sharp edges. Again, this is for photoshop (as far as I know) but it might be good to look into, so these works shine to their fullest. :) Keep it up!

JKLiew responds:

Thanks!
i'm still figuring out how the pixel works as well.

I'm using Clip studio paint. Below 600 px and using some custom pixel brushes for it.
My friend just introduce a proper pixel art purpose program _ Aseprite to me as well, haven't try with that.

[Dragon I: Encounter]

Golly gee, your art is awesome. I love the style of this- the contrast and coloring are extremely stylish. I really love the background and how the smoke/brightness of the fires below are emphasized. To answer your question, I think the flames are indeed defined, but I feel that it's fitting for this piece and the style, and I can interpret it as symbolism for the clear boundary between the hero and the dragon.

Zoukeau responds:

Thank you! I like your interpretation of the fire when I didn't consciously draw it that way, though I have been trying to use more symbolism in my work.

Thank you for your review, very interesting!

[3 year anniversary fume rig]

Wicked color and effects, thanks for sharing a bit of your process with the silver in the description too. That little ball on the side looks like a mini-universe filled with glitter. Excellent work!

when im done with production i might do more headies

[pink cadillac fumed clear wrap & rake]

I'm absolutely thrilled to see glassblowing/glass art on NG. I'm loving everything. These are especially cool. I love the pastel colors. I think some outdoor photography might have given the colors a little more justice, but these are fabulous regardless.

carljohnson responds:

when i move soon there will be plenty of that

[double passion frit spoon]

Goddamn, that looks tasty. I really like the holes in the main bowl part. Those colors are just so striking and I love the unique shape. Almost looks like it'd be frosty to the touch.

carljohnson responds:

sandblasted glass is frosty, super nice to touch

[Orangebeef]

Yessss. Love the orange and unique shape <3
(I'd hit that)

carljohnson responds:

this was a custom, thanks

[2020 season]

Oh hell yeah! Epic to see some glassblowing on the front page! I wanted to get into it for a while, and still kinda do, but it's been a bit too pricey for me to get started, plus I don't know too many folks around these parts. Regardless, it certainly looks like you've been on the grind, these are looking fantastic. I absolutely love how the sunlight catches them and amplifies the colors.
Very very good work, and I hope you upload more on here!

carljohnson responds:

this is lampworking coe33 not furnace work with coe106 coe109 (chihuly type shit), the biggest expense getting started will be the oxygen tanks, your kiln, and the gas regulators and graphite tools. the torch is also important but mostly depends what you want to make.

[Cancerous God]

Hypnotic. I love the lines and details, and am particularly fond of your use of magenta. Great work!

TrulySinFulSaint responds:

thank you !

[Divine Dreamer]

This is intense. There's a good amount of depth to this and there's something that catches the eye in every corner. I'm enjoying some of the visual tricks and the overall flow of this piece. Fantastic work.

CowFz responds:

Aye Good eye my friend! tried my best to make as if it's trying to guide the eye glad it paid off~ :D

[The new tenant]

Love this. Great colors and contrast. Very well made too! I saw the inktober tag, so I'm assuming ink was one of the mediums, what else did you use? I love the intricacy of her necklace, and the white highlights on the blob figure. Keep it up!

YannuNG responds:

Thanks ! I used color pens with water, white ink pen and an few pencils.
