octopus58's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Path Up]

This is really neat, I love the style you did here! It's pretty cool how well you drew the different phases of breakage, especially the last one that kind of looks like a landslide-ish. The shading is really nice, and the way the main picture kinda fades into the bg is also cool. Great work, keep it up!

Lihallerix responds:

Thank you! I learned a lot back when I made this one. Trying a lot of new things for the fade around the edges or methods to quickly redraw while also using layers to ensure the customer could easily switch between the three variations in the PSD files.

They wanted a full landslide at first, but also did not want to pay the extra for that big of a change so I gave them enough of a landslide for a compromise.

[ink drawing of an eagle owl]

This is so nice! For some reason reminds me of illustrations I'd see as a kid in some older books. I really like this style, and also really appreciate the accurate depiction of the owl. The bow tie is also a really cute addition :)

Great work, keep it up!

STearleArt responds:

Thank you! I am definitely inspired by old school illustrations

[Kewtian Thunder God]

this reminds me of super sonic. Super sonic is yellow and this boy has yellow hair.

FelixBlobDev responds:

WRONG

[Toads in The Mansion]

They are not scared because they have an abnormal adrenal response due to brain damage in the hypothalamus (they were diagnosed with brain cancer on house)

FelixBlobDev responds:

Extremely uncanon. Go to the shameful SPeature corner and think about what you've done.

[Toon Link (Kewtia: Crystallite Hunt Style Model)]

The fact that this cannot be real makes me want to die

FelixBlobDev responds:

It makes me cry big sad tears

[Super Sonic 2 & SSJ2 Gohan]

This is sick, I love pictures of super sonic with SSJ dragon ball characters lol. I even have a painting in my room I did when I was like 10 or something with super sonic and SSJ1 Goku haha. The lighting in your picture is really cool, I love how sonic has a more gray glow kinda while Gohan's is more subtle. The lineart is also amazing, both characters look so clean! And lastly I love the shading, it is in a very cool style. Great stuff, keep it up!

Saucekye responds:

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you like it I love drawing Sonic and Dragonball characters I'm glad we share that in common.

[BEETLEJUICE]

I don't remember the original Beetlejuice movie all too well, but this illustration is awesome! I love the spooky colors with the contrasting greens and reds, the squiggly/scratchy look, and the way you did the lighting. It's all awesome, keep it up!

coinin responds:

thank you! i recently switched to posca pens rather than paint/brushes and the control makes the scratchy style super fun to do. i'm glad you like it!!

[Strangers]

There's something so cute about this style! I love the clean line art, yet the simple designs on the cover. I also like how while a lot of them look similar, there are some outliers like the one with the brain sticking out, the one with the funny face on the bottom left, the tongue faced one slightly to the mid right, etc.. Just a really nice picture overall, keep it up :D

Elzrydo responds:

Much appreciated man... thank you so much <3
