octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kenichiro Isoda's album art]

This is really beautiful! It's technically a simple landscape, yet you put so much strokes into it making it look alive, and bringing color to something that could've been much simpler. I love how your mix of colors in the water made it look so real, and how you drew the tides. I absolutely love the sky you drew, and the little seagulls are a great touch. The white sands remind me of beaches on the north east shores of the states. Great work, keep it up :D

[GET 'EM FLATCAT]

This is really cool! I love how despite the fact the characters themselves are flat, you still made a 3D drawing of how the cat bends and even shaded it! The background while simple is really cute and helps highlight the characters, and the dynamic pose of the cat also really helps with bringing the picture to life. Great work, keep it up!

[Xenological Bioroid (XALOID)]

This is so cool lol. I love overlord style eyes (as someone already pointed out in the comments) so I might be biased but the design is really cool in general. The colors are awesome, and the clothing is sick. Honestly if you didn't say this was a sonic OC I would've totally seen this as a cool and original character. Love this work, keep it up :D

[Dr. Robotnik]

This art is really cute haha. I like how you drew him in your style, and the shading on him is really cool too. The car also looks great, and in general I just really like the palette for both the car and eggman too. Awesome stuff, keep it coming :)

Will do my good sir will do 🤙🏻

[Lord Raptor dramatic pose!]

I dunno who the char is but the art is awesome! The posing is amazing, I like how you used depth to emphasize it with the hand going towards the perspective on the Z axis. The line art is awesome too, and the texture and patterns you got going are also really cool and help make your coloring look much more unique. Keep up the great work!

[Lunatea's Veil]

I never played Klonoa but I really like this art! The posing is very dynamic, the character looks so vibrant and the shading is so beautiful! I especially love how the shading looks like on the ears, almost as if its vibrant flat shading on 3D model type of stuff. The palette is amazing too and you used colors in such great ways here. Awesome work, keep it up :D

[At The Top Of The Mountain]

I'm not sure what composition training is haha but I really like the calm and nice feeling you have made with this. I like how even though there are few objects, you somehow made the depth and space of the image very apparent, with the cliff in the back over the ocean. The palette is really amazing too, just reminds me a lot of foggy mornings in the countryside. But what I find most impressive is when I scrolled down to write all this I saw you wrote you drew this with a mouse, that's crazy! That stuff is so hard to do... Great work in general though, keep it up!

Scareev responds:

heyyaa whats upp! such a coencidence that i turned my pc on a few minutes ago lol, anyways, loved the feedback! the feeling of "morning" it's what makes me proud of this piece, bcs i was struggling a bit using this type of color pallet, also most of the stuff i do it's on mouse! i grew without a digital pen so i had to work it out somehow lol, now i got one, but mouse makes me more... open? i dont know if this is the correct word, but it lets me reach what i want to do, thank you for comenting!!

[Niko Bellic]

This is really nice, because I could immediately tell it was Niko while it's completely drawn in your own unique style! I like how even though the style is different, the facial expression and structure is still the same. The darkness under the eyes was a great touch. And the way you drew his clothes was really good as well. It's just really cool in general, keep it coming :)

Rynna responds:

Thank you very much for the nice comment!! It made my day :)

[Fyforia[fa - vor - ia]]

That's a pretty good map! It looks pretty versatile in terms of biome distribution, and the island on the right looks very realistic which is impressive. In general actually your landmasses look very unique in shape and could easily have been in the real world haha. Great work, keep it up!

CallmeMystic responds:

thanks, and I used a mash of real-life landmasses to make this map so that's the reason it looks very realistic

[Lizard?]

I don't remember this guy but I really like the picture you drew! The way you did shading is really nice, especially since it's hued and colorful. The patches on the skin are also very well drawn and blend in to the skin well. The pose you did is also pretty dynamic and the character still looks good in it, so props to you for that. Overall it's a really nice picture, keep it up :D

He appears only in insane mode shop unfortunately.
And thank you very much for such good words ^^.
