octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[He flew high]

I was confused on who the other two foxes were but then I realized it's classic Tails and boom Tails, that's really cool! I definitely love this shading style because it's very interesting, it's not just hued but also smoothed out to make it feel very cozy somehow. The color choices and posing is also excellent. Keep up the awesome work, this came out really good!

[Ramen Guy doodle]

That's a very interesting design! I love the little Koi sidekick, that was a great idea. The shoulder pads are also very cool, and the hat looks awesome. Generally everything about this just looks awesome, so keep up the great work!

[Return To Portal 9]

Holy crap I thought this was digital from the thumbnail, this is great! I love the environment you depicted so much, it's strange and alien with beautiful mountains. The caves are also so cool, and I absolutely love how you did the lighting in and around them! The astronaut standing towards the bottom left is in a perfect position too. Amazing art piece, you should definitely keep it up and make much more!!

Love the style! The outlines for some reason are so cool, it feels sketchy but so vibrant at the same time. The coloring is also amazing, where you can see patterns and stuff throughout the body, and the flame effect is sick! Awesome picture, keep up the great work :D

[Poyoctober Day 21: Grass]

This is very simple and cute, I love it! The shading is very nice and soft which is perfect for something like Kirby, and the perspective adds great depth. The cutout in the grass was also very well done! Awesome work, keep it up :)

[Odor]

Very creepy and unsettling creature, and definitely very well drawn! First off I really like the style, it feels like an ancient monster from folklore. I also like the design, it looks very threatening and confusing. The little person towards the bottom middle for showing scale was a very smart idea! Great work, keep it coming :D

Hanstonin responds:

Thanks! : )

[A Truly Terrible Feeling]

This is so beautiful! I love how you drew this pivotal moment from the best Zelda game ever (imo) :D

The colors are so vivid, and the lighting is perfect for what is going on. The shading on every little part of this drawing is also perfect and really emphasizes the texture of the different subjects. The moon's creepy look was extremely well done, and the perspective is confusing and haunting. Amazing work, keep making more great art!!!

Thank you so much, I will keep doing my best!

[006 - Exit Door]

Very cute and funny comic! I think my favorite thing about this is the fact that the third panel has a purposely different outline color and even border, it really makes it feel all the more creepier. The design of the character was also really cute and nice. Great work, keep it up!

[Felted Woolly Bear]

This is so cute! I got confused for a sec when I saw the thumbnail because I thought huh where's the bear, but then I realized you meant the caterpillar and it made much more sense haha

I love these things, I remember I loved to hold them when I was a kid because I thought they were cool. This small toy you made is very accurate to how it looks, especially because it's meant to be all fuzzy! I also really like how you did the underside, as it looks like a bunch of little caterpillar moving feet things. Anyways great job, keep it up!!

SpleenBean responds:

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! :D

Also you made a good point about the common name for the woolly bear. Why is it a "bear"? After reading your comment I did a little bit of digging- and it's anyone's best guess! Some think it's because of its fuzzy bristles, and some think it is because of its short, round shape.
(Maybe it should have been named the woolly *teddy*bear! Haha)

Thank you again! :)
