octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hook Horror]

This is so interesting, as it looks like an actual creature because of the anatomy you gave it! I love the shading around the creature, but the creature itself is amazing nonetheless, as the shading is so precise you can see every rib and depression in the body. It's even more amazing how you put detail into every little hair! Great job :)

Seath-Lorkencrain responds:

Thanks.

[EVERY VILLAIN IS LEMONS]

Very good work on making him look scary because this is really threatening! The use of red and yellow here and there on the teeth really emphasized this blood thirsty feeling, and the splatters on the head make it even better. The pink eyes drive the goal all the way because man they are unsettling

BOZUBRAIN responds:

thanks a lot! Tried my best to make him unnerving to look at XD

[Old Art City Horizon]

Nice and simple pixel art! I really like how you spaced out the colors of the sky, and the shading you gave to all the buildings. Great work :)

[Nothing can stop Sonic the Hedgehog]

You can never go to fast

This is really funny, and I love the detailed work in each one of the panels! Keep making more comicy stuff :)

[Ball old pencil sketch]

The shading on this ball is very smooth for a pencil drawing, and very realistic. It's even more amazing how accurate you managed to draw a circle, since I know how hard that can be. I think you did a great job on this!

ArtTriad responds:

Thank you. That's very kind of you

[Fire Imp]

This drawing looks as if it was drawn with a pastel, really cool! I love all the different shades from red to yellow, and the contrast you used for the outline of the imp. The imp is very cute itself, and looks very friendly haha

Keep up the great work :)

Drummarts responds:

Thank you! I actually used the Dry Gouache Brush in Clip Studio Paint but I was going for that pastel look. The actual pastel tool just didn't look quite as right

[Winter]

This picture feels very cozy, and the texture you used on the girl is great. I love the shading especially on the coat, it really helps establish the roughness. The hair is very well drawn too! The background has very beautiful colors, and the small canvas like texture makes the piece feel even cozier somehow. Anyways, really sweet work!

ArtTriad responds:

Thank you for your kind review. You are very observant, I appreciate it.

["THERE'S NOBODY TO BOMB HERE!"]

I like both of these, both a clear sky and a cloudy sky have their own perks :)

This eagle character has a very interesting design, but what impresses me even more is the city in the BG! So much little details, characters, and atmosphere are built up by that city alone. It also conforms to the color scheme very accurately, so the whole picture has some kind of "color mood". Very cool towers in the back there too, are they supposed to look like animals? The black one kinda looks like a squid, and the red one like an isopod. Anyways, keep it up!

AmericanMuscleHead responds:

Thanks. I looked at images of Aztec architecture and Anasazi cliff dwellings when doing this piece, as a means of inspiration.

[Dudley]

I love this "washed out" kinda feeling you did with this piece. The colors fit very well, and the slight texturing over the body makes it feel very scrapbook like. Anatomy is great and the depiction of the character is very accurate. Great job :D

CayFettArt responds:

Thank you! I really appreciate the thought and detail you put into this feedback. It really helps.

[Practice 2021-01-30]

Very moody, and I love the green monochrome colors you got there! Also love the slight foliage because it feels like just the right amount of detail, and the moon is very nice :)

Bnouze responds:

Thank you for the encouragements !
