octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Monk]

This definitely feels really rubberhosey, great work! I love the designs for both monkeys, especially the funny little black one in the stocking. The duo just look great together in general. The linework is very well done, almost comic book cover like, and the shading is great too! Keep up the great work :)

[Pumkin and Cactus - 2004]

So cute! I love the expressions you gave them, they both look very happy to be together. They also really look accurate to plants besides the faces so that's very nice. The texture on the objects they are standing on is very cool, and I love how you drew the shadows. And lastly I also really like how you did lighting and shading, it makes the picture look much more vibrant! Amazing work, keep it coming :D

thank you so much for this very nice comment! <33

[fever dream drawings]

I feel like this perfectly encapsulates the weirdness and confusion of a fever dream. How it's supposed to be scary but at the same time you feel so confused looking at it. I love how you drew the doctor so strangely, especially slanted towards the top. And the anatomical picture he is holding is also very well done. The grain over the whole image helps add to the disorientation and eeriness. So really just great work, keep it coming!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[Re: Sonic the Hedgehog **for SEGA CD**]

This is just crazy good. Not only are the pictures made so well, but the style is almost 1:1 with how sonic would officially be drawn (retro), I would easily have mistaken this for official promotional art! You drew all the characters amazingly, from the shading to the anatomy and posing. I have too little words to describe all the great stuff I feel from this, so I'm just gonna say amazing work and keep it up!!!

Gosh wow, Octopus! Thank you so much for your kind words!!

[⚡️🌿Mokujin 🌿⚡️]

I love how you drew him! The texture on the image is very cool and makes this look like it's from a game illustration book (I'm thinking about the old Nintendo ones fsr). The outline basically merges with the shading so it seems like there isn't one at all, which is really cool. The effect on the eyes is also awesome, I love how you made them glow. Awesome work, keep it coming!

[[D&D] Hällig]

I dunno the story about this guy but this is an amazing design! Something about you drawing him with pen though just makes him stand out so well, I love this kind of style. The linework is amazingly intricate and detailed, and the shading even if simple strokes of the pen is done perfectly. I also love how you made the bird sit on the cane he holds, that's awesome. Amazing work, keep it up!
