octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[OC - bug in space]

This is such an awesome design! It looks like one of the Kirby knights, but very original and interesting in design. Kind of like if Sir Kibble mixed with Meta Knight + a ton of originality. I absolutely love the colors you chose for this, especially the gradient on the cape. The posing is also really cool and characteristic. Awesome work, keep it coming!

cookiedoughhoe responds:

Aw! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you think it's original haha, I was hoping a Knight character could come off as original, I was really digging for some good references haha. I'm happy to hear it! <33

[Dinosaurs Attack Collab entry]

Lmao I love this redraw with Villager and Blathers! It's perfect since there's a museum in all the AC games lol. I especially love the expression on their faces, like blathers eyes poking out and villager being in complete dread lol. The style is super cool too, I love the linework, the colors you used, and the shading. Awesome stuff, keep it up!!

chazmuco responds:

Thanks octopus, I appreciate it!

[Mallards]

I love this! The lighting is so cool, especially how it moves through the tree leaves. I think that's honestly the most impressive part because it just looks so realistic (in terms of how the light is working/moving) while also being very stylistic. The palette you chose is vibrant and happy, and the ducks look very well drawn too. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[Samathi]

Woah, this is so cool! It kind of looks like the subject (monk I think) is blending into the environment, or is even part of it. Definitely helps since the picture has this theme of meditation and stuff. The background itself is also so beautiful, the snow just looks like a big blanket and the motion blur on the snowflakes is a really cool effect. The palette is also very beautiful and natural. Amazing stuff, keep it coming!!

Thanks So Very Much))
Check out my other pics)

[Walfoween]

This is so cute! I didn't know that creatures name until now when I had to search up who Walf was lol. The costumes are really cute, I love the idea of Kirby and Walf dressing up for Halloween. The style is also really cute, I love how the color blends on different surfaces to emphasize shading but in patchier ways (like on Walf's shell). The background is also simple but perfect for the picture! Awesome stuff, keep it up :D

[Mayro]

I love how stylish this is! It definitely looks like Mario while still having such a unique look to it, and the way you did shading and lighting is really nice. It's especially seen on stuff like the nose where it not only changes towards a darker color, but a different hue in general slightly. I also love the expressions, the squished Goomba and excited Mario are perfectly made and put next to each other. Great work, keep it coming!!

The-Vlah responds:

Many thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

[THE CANNIBAL SANDWICH]

What an awesome little sculpture! I love how it looks and how you made the sandwich look angry and hungry lol. Awesome stuff, keep it up as always :D

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you! I made this opera based a story horror write from me called "hallucinogenic fast food" were food are scary like this sandwich.

Tres epique

[Goomba!]

Damn, the level of detail in this is crazy! I love how accurately you depicted the design of that weird Goomba char from the older Mario movie lol, it feels like looking at something 1:1. The shading must've been pretty hard to do because of how detailed it ended up being, it looks so good on your picture! Keep up the awesome work :D

poxpower responds:

Nah it was easy because I'm the best.

[FrankenMen]

Lol I love these designs! It reminds me of some Nickelodeon designs (mostly Spongebob) but still feels very original too. The colors you chose are very halloween-y so that fits a lot, and the poses make the picture funny too. Great work, keep it up!
