octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mad as a Fox]

Cool drawing! I like how you used different color outlines and black fill, making the lines thicker where you want to emphasize more color. Nice stuff and keep it up!

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Thank you! : D

I love doing impressionism so much, is amazing what one can get away with using only lines~

[ship]

Feels lonely, but I think that's a good thing with this kind of picture. It just inflicts curiosity of what's on that ship and what is it doing, what's the planet down below, etc.. The design of the ship is also cool, and same with the little extension in the front with the three smaller extensions. The background is simple and very fitting. Keep up the great work :D

Spingular-E-Zorkman responds:

aye i didn't really go overboard with the amount of things in the picture it's more or less just a quick little blob i did out of boredom

thankye though

[Drawtober 2023 - Day 31: Halloween]

Lol this is both spooky but also a cute character design :)
I love the dynamic posing, and especially the action towards the top of the picture. The projectile splurging is very realistic too. The design/style/palette combo is also very unique and just feels great to look at. Just very nice stuff overall, keep it up!

BastianConst responds:

Thank-you so much for the lovely comment and feedback. I greatly appreciate it :)

[Resort]

This is so pretty! Kind of has this weird nostalgic feeling to it but I can't explain why, maybe it's the colors you used, but either way it's a very nice feeling and I really like it. The palette is beautiful, it all fits together and just feels fuzzy. The barely visible tiles through the water is such a cool touch, and the lighting on the water is also amazing! It's such a simple scene but it makes me feel so happy :)

Keep up the great work!!!

Chickhand responds:

Omg thank you!! I wish the perspective of everything on top is better but i really like the water as well... thanks!

[Behemoth attacks New Delhi]

This is a really awesome and powerful picture. From the title, I assumed it would be some kind of natural looking land beast, but what you came up with is a design for a Behemoth I've never seen before; it's so cool! I absolutely love how the rocks kind of look like a rib cage, and the head roughly reminds me of a cacodemon lol. Giving the surrounding environment (including the POV) a cyberpunky feel was also such a cool idea. Yet again you drew something really awesome, keep up the amazing work!

Ace0fredspades responds:

Thanks So Very Much!)
I will)

[Tavern with the gang]

I love the composition! The tavern looks cozy and all the characters are clearly so expressive too; especially the guy with the eyes popping out lol. You definitely hit the medieval feel with not only the tavern and character designs but all the wooden mugs on the table, the quiver on the floor, the gold coins, etc.. I also really like the shading and warmer colors you used in general. Keep up the great work!

Lucashor023 responds:

Thank you!!!!

[pumpkin pies]

For some reason I don't like eating pumpkin pie, but the way you drew it is so yummy looking I think I want to try again lol. The palette is so warm and cozy, and really fits fall. I also really love the way you did the shading, and the fact that all of these items are made with the pixel art style is awesome. Especially the pumpkin too, it has so much detail! Great work, keep it up :D

maruki responds:

Thanks a lot for your extremely kind words! I do not like pumpkin things in general, but working on this made me want to try!

[(Old Drawing) Super Mario World]

Such a vibrant and colorful picture! I think I know what original art this is referencing, but I really love how you drew it. It looks very on point and accurate both in terms of design and color. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

Jalestar responds:

Thank you so much! I was referencing this picture. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nintendo/images/1/1f/Super_Mario_World_%28JP%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080925155449&path-prefix=en

[The Joy of Life]

This is such a strange and beautiful piece! I love all the swirls and how they just kind of turn into plants as they spiral out from the center. The blend of colors is also very interesting, as green and magenta/purple are opposite colors, so its cool to see a clashing element executed so well and smoothly. Definitely feels like happiness pouring out all over a dark space. Awesome work, keep it up!!

AlexSavenije responds:

Thank you so much for detailed review! I really get fueled when I get great comments!

[OC - bug in space]

This is such an awesome design! It looks like one of the Kirby knights, but very original and interesting in design. Kind of like if Sir Kibble mixed with Meta Knight + a ton of originality. I absolutely love the colors you chose for this, especially the gradient on the cape. The posing is also really cool and characteristic. Awesome work, keep it coming!

cookiedoughhoe responds:

Aw! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you think it's original haha, I was hoping a Knight character could come off as original, I was really digging for some good references haha. I'm happy to hear it! <33
