LegolaSS's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kyun]

i was waiting for this picture...

the thing i love most... is how you manage to keep the quality of the artwork up in all of your flashes... this isnt the greatest artwork in the world however... i feel that this picture will be overated highly beacuse of the subject rather then the artwork... yes... the artwork is really good... alot of details and true shading... i love how you have kept it so simple without it looking basic and boring... another picture / flash well done... im sure to se more pictures and flashes from you in the future... keep it up :3

looks a little spazzy...

line work is clean and very nicely done... the colouring is rathery bold and the shading rather dim most places... increase the depth of the shading in some areas... for example her cloak could use with some darker shades where her foot touches it... the metal areas really need some shine on them to make it look more realistic other then a concept idea... the best area is the torso... where the shading is strongest and there is fine shading to sugest areas which are not created via the line art... now... the pose looks rather like a kids doll after an hour of hard adventuring.. its nice that the body is twisted... but her overall pose looks really strange... im not sure if its even phyicly posible... something to keep in mind for future artworks... not bad... but needs alot of improvement...

Sentrix responds:

Love the feedback. Keep it coming, itâEUTMll only help me improve^_^

[DED]

love your style...

reminds me of a cross between a deamonette and a lizzard... i love the tones and how you make every thing look so evil and dark... rusty and demonic... the way you chose to remove limbs and attach metalic objects instead... very cleaver and rather scary... like it alot...

sucho responds:

all those ellipses made your reply seem really creepy :O

[Yoshi The Dinosaur]

oh look.. its yoshi...

simple but effective 4 tone shading, i feel that the spikes on the back are different base colours... or just shaded wrongly... also try to keep the light source in the same place.. as most of the shading shows its top right... but there are areas *like the tail* which say bottom right... just a point... very animation styled... not bad... but just need to keep the areas of your shading in mind...

JKAmovies responds:

Thanks

few pointers...

ok im going to make a list of things i can see been improved...
- face - seems a bit squashed
- longer ribbons on the hair... i feel they are to short
- the bit joining the head and the top hasnt got black lines which dont fit in with the picture...
- a few more tones on the shading?... seems like a lot of area of the same color...
- HER left (our right) hand looks really flat...
- the braclets on the arms i though were ment to have spikes instead of round things... but that may just be me...
- mabey a simple background?

contentnocontext responds:

the lines on the neck were an error i knew about. oops.

ribbons , um ok. Not really a bother too me, but i see how they could add to the flow of the picture.

face, all wrong also. double oops.

The hand is a problem i had intended to note in the discription but forgot.

The bracelets are the ones worn by the alpha outfit chunli, but I want for the round ones for fun here. A style choice.

And the background is just blank as im just doing your basic character arts for now. Not really going with scenes. Im not great with backgrounds yet eather. and seeing as she turned out a bit off as it is i didnt want to start attempting stuff other then characters till im good enough at them first.

thank you for your constructive viewpoints and feedback though.

another fab entery!

love the colours... the dark purples and blacks... the effect on the wings is lovely...
however i cant seem to work out where the rest of her legs has gone... :S, this has to be seen in full size to really apreicate the work gone into it... the skin tones and extra stuff is just wonderfull!... but like i said earlyer... you need to do something with them legs as they look like stumps at the moment... either raise her right leg up so her other leg can go under... so her legs are lying against the floor.. or make her sit on them... but just love it!...

[zombie broccoli]

simple and funny

not the most brilliant of artworks i give you that... but one of the most intressting ideas iv seen for a long time... love how the the eyes have black rims around them where you put the clay in?... just gives it that added feel to it... something i would have never of thought of... well done... even if it is a bit random...

[Kaiyo (School)]

minor problems

right vortex... im going to egnor the background and the desk for the moment as you already know they arnt the main focus... i feel that most of the time spent on this piece was spent in the torso and head area... the shading is good on these bits... i strongly agree with you with the hand on the desk... it looks really bulky and odd... also i would like to point out the feet/shoes look rather small and odd looking... i dont know if its beacuse of the shading is harsher then the rest of her but im not sure about them... *copy and paste job* (cough)... one is bigger then the other as well O.o , skirt is fab, love it... i feel her head is to far to the left and may be better with a shorter neck... the shading on HER right leg is a bit odd... it doesnt look right... i dont know where the light source is coming from but looking at the majoriy of her i would say top right... athough the shading on her leg says mid right... its not bad... but i have seen you do better stuff... also... if this is done in flash instead of your normal program... i can understand about some of the quality issues... but i think she needs a bit of adjustment and see will be perfect... cant wait to see what you create next...

Vortex00 responds:

Yeah, give me a break on the copy paste geez lol XD good eye! I would have just drawn the same thing anyways >.>; Since I'm kind of pressed for time I have to take a business approach to most of the art I do. And also most art I do unfortunately is for some game or something, and not just to be art alone. But on the flip side, it has more functionality than just being viewed. But that's why I might cut a corner or two here and there.

After reading this and looking back and fourth at the pic though, I realized the shading on the sock and on the leg is quite different. That definitely has to be fixed. And the shading you mentioned on the leg I'm guessing can be resolved by adjusting the angle. I also think the face is too bright but I'm going to leave it be. Also that the wood part of the desk is missing a few shadows from her leg. But the other parts of the desk yeah, there just there to complete the picture for now :)

nice idea...

really like the lines used and the simple block shading / smudging.... however i feel that it could be touched up alot as some areas of shading dont reach the lines... its rather messy and in places just sloppy... it somewhat looks like his missing a leg under the torso... its so beefy and chunky that armor his leg doesnt seem to apear where i think it should... but thats just me... if you were to touch the shading and colours up to a neater standard... spend a bit more time doing some details and the like... (i can see you have done some) but its rather rushed in my eyes...

Rhunyc responds:

Yeah... I know exactly what you mean.

The big thing I focused on while making this were that the details were there... Not if they were in proportion. xD And, in retrospect, I really should have. :P

I think I might go back and have another go, but thanks for the detailed crit man, it's awfully appreciated.

[Adventure Girl]

your artwork is getting better!

every time i see some of your new artwork the quality has improved since the last one... i love the tones in this used... however i feel that she is somewhat squashed fron the hips upwards... and possibly a very large head... who knows :P... but im likeing the style :3

JKAmovies responds:

Thanks, I actually feel that I'm improving as well. I think I'm getting more used to drawing digitally now, I'm doing it much more lately too and which might also be another reason.

I think the head is a little odd from the body myself, but I dunno :3

Thanks~JKAmovies.
