octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Peppino Spaghetti]

I love how exaggerated his face is and all the blood vessels in the eyes, it's funny and grotesque c:
The jittering was also a cool touch and the pose is very expressive. Great work, keep it coming!

[Starlow and Mario]

Really cool! I love how you posed Mario, it really gives the picture depth as it looks like he's reaching forward from deeper in the image. The shading and line art are also really good for both the characters. Keep up the great work!

[Boris]

Boris looks so awesome! I really like the both brown and grey skull versions so I can't pick which one I like more haha. The way you drew the skull though is so perfect and detailed, it looks crazy good. I think especially the teeth and the cheekbones are super well made. The horns also have good placement to make it seem more realistic, and the outfit gives him a much bigger edge. Awesome work, keep it up!

[Neverending Playground]

I love the atmosphere you got going on here! It definitely feels endless in the creepy way, especially with all the dark areas and the shadowy figure you got there. The palette is great for the lighting and mood you were going for, and the strokes like on the slides help emphasize descents into darkness a lot. Amazing work, keep it up!

[Burger]

Cute design! Looks like something that came straight out of a cartoon lol. I like how stacked it is and how you drew all the ketchup and mustard leaking out the sides, it just makes the burger look goofy. Also the cheese thing looks like a funny hat. Great job, keep it up :)

ZOMG SITTING KITTEN!! I WILL EAT!

[Sea of Light]

This is really cool! I love when people draw in the Gameboy/4 color palette as it's a very limiting decision which often leads to very nice looking results. The clouds look very cool and detailed, and I love how bumpy you made them. The beams of light are also very awesome and I love how you dried to make them transparent to the objects behind them by doing alternating shaded pixels. Awesome work, keep it up!!

Cheers man! Glad the transparency thing came across well

[Phonogram Man]

Lol this is awesome. Song of Storms was one of the songs I obsessed over and constantly played as a kid after first hearing it in MM, so seeing this is really nice! I love your style, and your slightly desaturated colors to make everything around look like it's during a rainy time. The N64 buttons on the wall like in the original game is a very nice touch. Keep up the amazing work!!

[some Sonic]

This is a very cool style! I love the dots to resemble shading, it actually works very well. The orange for the whites and pink for the skin color is an interesting choice but it also looks really good! And lastly ZI really love how accurate you drew sonic, it looks like some actual official art :D

Great work, keep it up!!

[Badger ink sketch 14/02/23]

This is nice! For some reason the combo of blue on white makes the picture feel very calm/peaceful. The badger looks very accurate to how it is in real life, and I love how you drew the fur. The subtle background is also very nice and cute. Great work, keep it up!!
