octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Friend shaped dinosaur from Earthbound]

Never played Earthbound till the end but I love how you made him look so friendly and accurate to his design! The line style is very nice and cartoony. I also like how you interpreted the thing on top of his head. The shading is really nice, and so is the slight lighting in different places, and I love the pose! Keep up the great work :)

[Kunckles & Knuckles]

This is amazing! I love the clash of styles. The retro knuckles looks like he is from the SRB2 style too haha. But the idea for the picture is awesome, and the way you drew realistic knuckles is crazy accurate to the movie. Even the quills are all slightly discolored to show lighting. It's a beautiful picture, keep it up!!

Dirtilam responds:

Hay thank you for the compliment on my drawings this has made my day THANK UUU!

[Snufkin (the MOOMIN's)]

This looks so pretty! It almost looks like it was watercolored too. I like the muted colors as they make the picture feel very calm. The rougher lines are also pretty nice, and the design is very accurate to the original. Keep up the awesome work!

[Lea's Cabin]

This is really pretty! I like how there are different variations for different occasions. The way you drew the grass is very cool, and the simple trees in the background are perfect. But the most impressive to me is the halloween version, as I really like how you did the flickering lights from the pumpkins on the ground! Keep up the awesome work :D

[Enchanted Broccoli]

Really nice! For some reason it reminds me of a retro-ish style from an older web game like neopets that I played as a kid lol. But I love it! The linework is great, I love the little and big sparkles, and the gradient looks very pretty. I also love how the stems look, they look more unusual than normal broccoli which adds on to the magic feel. Great work once again, keep it up!

[sharing is caring or something]

This was pretty funny and cute, I love the expressions on the white haired girl, especially the last two panels. The artstyle is very cool, it's simple for comics but is very well defined and has a very nice use of shading. I also love the way the characters look and how you posed them in all the panels too. Great work, keep it up!!

[LURKING LEGS]

That's a very cool fakemon! I love how you basically took Chandelure and turned it into a spider like creature in a relatively same pose. The bulbous orange top part is very interesting and spooky, and the fangs are really cool. It feels like one of those evolutions that would happen in only certain very specific conditions like holding a stone or whatever. But yeah I really love the design, keep up the great work!

DualDragons responds:

Thanks! Yeah that was my thought process as well, I thought putting it in the same pose would be neat

[Greenstonewolf]

I really like mosaics because sometimes they are very fun to decipher. I actually missed the fact that it was a wolf in the title, but when I read that I immediately saw it :)

I really like the types of rocks you used to form the mosaic, but I also like how you did a smart use of spacing to make the eye. The small rocks to resemble the teeth were perfect to use too. It's just a really nice thing to look at honestly. Great work, keep it coming :D

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you so much for your words... another opera like this coming!

[dr. robotnik wasp nest destroyer]

I haven't seen the original until now (which god why does that exist lmao) but this is just perfect. It'd totally make sense for Robotnik to just build some over the top random thing for a simple purpose haha

I love how you adapted an actual real world design to work with the little flying machine he sits in usually. I also love the simple but stylized linework, and the tiny little shine on his head. But my favorite thing about this is just the idea you had to draw this in general. Awesome work, keep it up!

trueroo22 responds:

thank you so much!!

[UNDEFEATABLE]

This is really nice! My favorite part about this has to be the lighting and shading, as you clearly put a lot of effort into it. It looks very realistic for the shape the light is touching. The actual accuracy to sonic though is also really well done, and I love how you also stylized it a bit! Especially with how thick you made the quills. The pose with the chest protrusion is very in character for super sonic, and I also really like how detailed you made the eyes. Awesome work, keep it up!
