octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[SWIM SWIM HUNGREH]

I never played commander keen, but I love how you drew the fish! The background is pretty detailed which helps with the overall feel of the picture, and the fish itself is very detailed and nicely made! The linework is very clean, and the shading really helps it stand out too. Great work, keep it up :D

AlmightyRayzilla responds:

They're a ton of fun to play. I love how simplistic the games are - some of which due to technical limitations of the day - but the devs took full advantage of what they had.

I blame them for getting me into Perler beads, lol.

[Bouncy Fruit]

Oh wow this looks awesome! Not only is it accurate to the design, but the lighting looks so realistic hitting against the different colors of the Pokemon. In general I really love the yellow hued lighting you did, but also the picture itself looks so smooth. I love the expression you gave it, the posing, and honestly the background really fits. Amazing work, keep it up!!

duskvortex responds:

thank you!

[Chaotic Inferno Showdown]

Awesome posing and perspective! The way you drew this looks like something serious is about to go down. I love how accurate their designs are, even down to the little bolts and joints. The background is also very simple but helps set the feeling even further. Great work, keep it up!

Mitchika responds:

thank you, i appriciate the comment!

[Still Life for Beginning Painting]

I think you actually paint quite nice, I really like this picture :)
There are many things I like, how for example you made the little pot look shiny and as if it has some reflection from light sources, the droopiness of the curtain in the back, the progressive gradient inside the bucket, and just the composition of everything in general. It looks very nice! Great work, and keep it up :D

Paradox-Convict-2020 responds:

Dawww, thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to say what you liked about the painting. Have a great day!

[Chill Mountains]

This looks so amazing! The palette you used is very relaxing, refreshing and nostalgic even a little bit if that even makes sense. I love the amazing shading you used to really bring this picture to life, and the way you drew the clouds is just crazy good. The constellation like objects in the sky are also a very cool touch to give a bit of personality. I love this, keep up the amazing work!

TheRaspyCupcakesCan responds:

Thanks for the review!! I’m glad you like the color palette on this one, I don’t think I’ve ever used colors that soft but it works pretty well!

[Steamboat Sonic]

I love this drawing, it's a very cool reimagining of how it'd look like if Sonic was there instead of Mickey. The way you drew him fits perfectly into that existing style, especially with the subtle soft shading. The linework is very well done too. Great work, keep it up!

[World]

Awesome as always! I love how it's hard to tell what the picture is made up of from the thumbnail alone until I look closer at the picture. The choice of items is cool as always, and the shapes of the continents are pretty accurate, especially for something made of bottle caps! Great work as always, can't wait to see more :)

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you, in fact this was a job that required a lot of attention and effort, although I had a sea of ​​corks I had to "arrange" especially with the blue ones to simulate the oceans and seas. For the continents, even there it was not easy in fact I had to help myself with the image of the globes and space photos. Completing this work has given me profound satisfaction.

[Primal Mask]

Looks awesome! This really reminds me of the Majoras Mask style of masks, more like when the mask becomes sentient at the end. The texture on the mask face is very well done, and the shading all over the character is great too. I also think the gradient on the horns and tail is very nice and fitting for the design. The eyes are the focus of the picture to me and they feel perfect for that spooky feel. Awesome work, keep it up!

Taurmega responds:

Thank you! Looking at it, yeah, I see what you mean. Makes sense too, since MM is such an eerie game in its own right.

Overall, yeah, very happy with the design and the mask's texture.

I appreciate the thorough review! Thank you very much.

[Jirachi]

This is awesome! I rarely see art of Jirachi opening it's third eye too, so you doing that is very cool. I love the simplistic background, the color contrast is very nice. I also love the shading you did on Jirachi in general, it's very smooth. The pose is very happy and excited, and fits the Pokemon very well! Great work, keep it up :)

[love🦊]

Very beautiful, I love the combination of sharp lines and smears! That kind of style really helps make the foxes fur look more real almost. I also love the posing and the emotion you depict in the picture, it's very cozy and warm. The subtle fire like lighting in the background really helps emphasize the coziness further. Great work, keep it coming :D
