xTY3x's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Daffodil Hills]

i think it's pretty good

and obviously the guy under me doesn't know anything about art, this is not impressionism at all. i like the rose roofs, as if they were flowers too.

[Katie]

great detail

but it's way too unproportioned: the eyes are too large and so the nose, while the mouth, the right cheek and the chin are too small. the neck is so thin it seems it can barely resist the weight of that massive head. i guess you started drawing without sketching, didn't you? because all these problems are easy to avoid with a good sketch wich can give you the right distances and dimensions of all the elements.

ken9000 responds:

It's not supposed to be a photograph. It's an interpretation of her face. I made certain choices to accentuate various features. It's closer to caricature than an exact 1:1 render, which I felt would be boring. The fact that you think I don't know how to draw a face is pretty damn insulting.

[Blue horse]

this ain't my kind of style

but i have to admit that the horse is just wonderful, the lights and the shades are extremely realistic. also the land is good, to me the only thing that ruins this piece is the sky: the moon isn't as good as the rest (maybe it shouldn't have been so dark) and i think it's way to large. i understand you wanted to give a fantasy atmosphere to your piece, but in this composition i would have preferred a small moon in the corner, watching the horse from a long distance, it would have given a sense of depth, wich your piece lacks. anyway the horse is so good that i almost suspect it's traced; i hope not.

emiliapaw5 responds:

Thanks, I had a horse book for reference, I don't trace. My composition is off, but I think the moon might be a personal preference.

[libella]

good, but...

there are some things i would change: the first is the layout, it doesn't seem a magazine, you need more titles. the second one is about the language: i'm italian and as far as i understand what your intention were i would write this:
"Rivista di Moda"
"Italia"
"Numero 32"
"Belle mode create dalla bella Libella!" (or if you want to be more realistic "il meraviglioso stile della bella Libella!")

PixelCake responds:

Hey I'm only a beginner ;w; - the problem is I have no one to practice with ~.~ and I'm limited to my textbook knowledge
As for the layout I couldn't think of any actual things to add for more titles XD
thank you for the help :D

[Lumberjack]

love the humor...

but those hands in the first pic need some improvement: take some references to help you.

[The Dude]

great

"hey! there's a beverage here!"

[Pikachu, I Choose You!]

good idea

but there are some elements that i actually don't like: the bended arm seems longer than the other and the thumb is in a strange position according to the perspective. also i don't understand its pose: is he the trainer or the pokemon?

[Deus Ex Machina]

a bit sketchy...

...but very nice. i like the colors.

p.s. perhaps you meant "deus ex machina"?

Tombstoned666 responds:

cheers dude thanks for the reveiw, i waz just in a sketchy mood..and yeah your right lol
i did mean deus ex machina thx XD

[Papa et Junior 2000]

good mix

between the toony atmosphere of the character itself (i can't say dad is a "him"), with the sqare children running all around and the realistic tones (without the children this could be an illustration for warhammer 40k). the only thing i can't stand is the dad's waist pose: it's too moved to the right and it makes him look a bit as a girl.

[weird4]

there's a darker shorter clone at his feet

i know making shadows is boring, but if you decide to copy the figure to draw them try to make'em black, otherwise it's a bit disappointing.
