octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

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!

[Biblical Image]

I still really love your style, its so unusual and cool! Great work once again, keep it up :D

[Big World]

I love many things about this picture, where should I start? First off the environment is very interesting and well, big as the title puts it. It's unusual and feels very mysterious and magical. The way you drew the clouds is so beautiful too! And as for the characters, I really like how they look. The linework is very clean (had to open up the image to zoom a bit haha) and the coloring and shading is also really nice on them. Just great work in general, keep it up!!

[Me when 💀]

It always impresses me how people can draw so realistically in the paint style with just software. This is definitely one of those cases because man, the detail and style of that skull is just perfect! It really looks like someone hand painted it. It's also so accurate, I feel skulls are often a hard thing to depict well but this is right on. The lighting is also amazing, and so is the way you drew the hand holding it. Amazing work, keep it coming!

[ALEX2022]

I love all of these! They're so dynamic and expressive, each Alex is completely different than the other. She looks very goofy and happy which is just nice and fitting for how Minecraft is, and the shading on her is just awesome. I also love the linework on her as it's very clean. Beautiful work, keep it up :D
