LegolaSS's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Level 36]

Outstanding work

the linework is flawlessly done, the colours are neutral and earthy... lovely palet of colours indeed... all the details... DETAILS! are bloody fan-saba-tastic!!! the amount of pure awsomeness just oozes from this piece... theres is however a few minior things such as dodgy shading here and there... but the mud/paint effects on the skin as well as a large amount of the colouring just blows away most of the artwork i have seen...

ok so wheres these minor issues?... well lets start with the boots... theres a bit of white peeping through, the colours arnt constantly blended, theres areas which are next to large big strokes of blocked colour, "scribbly colouring in" on her left ankel, the shading on the leg seems a tad rushed and could use with a bit of neatening up... you seem to loose that black line in the belt without any colour issues so its rather odd... like you have coloured over the linework... feathers and beads nicely done, not sure on the shading on her hand holding the axe as its rather harsh *i understand thats from putting her war paint on but it would go around her palm and not suddleny stop abruptly*, possbly more detail on the wooden handel of the axe and neatening up of the fur so the white underlay is either blured into the background or removed, some lovely detailing on the fur and face work is lovely along with everything else... seems like you worked down the picture and your work and got a bit sloppy due to the fact that you thought that theses areas wouldnt get looked in as much detail or just lost focus and interest...

the background is simple and crisp... lovely use of colours and artist style to block it off like that to the top with a white underlay... athough similar effect with sloppyness at the bottom with the colouring in as there are areas which seem to be lacking the quality of the rest of the piece... really like the way you constructed the trees as i find it highly realistic and artistic...

i hope you find my review of great use and not just someone who just finds flaws in it... you have fantastic potential *if not already great potentail!* but just need to tidy things up in my view... 10/10 for the quality of work as always at its truely remarkable to view!... look forward to more of your fantastic art prodects and flashes in both the art and flash portal in the very near future!!!...

i hope you never stop drawing as you are truely a master of the arts...

totaly kickass!

i kinda feel im rating 10/10 due to the person as well as the artwork... beacuse the artwork isnt the best... but i totaly love the comic style along with the anime feel... some things that slightly bother me... the arm looks a tad beefy i feel... some more shading in places would be nice n stuff... but hey its an old piece of work... you have improved leaps and bounds since then!... and it really shows... great to see some earlyer work from you!...

You're way too much generous...!!!
I must admit I was curious about the reaction of people that only know me for the Art Portal... They could flip out.

nice colours

lovely neutral shades and earthly light colours... love the floaty effect you have going on... with the petals and flowers... however i feel her head is rather long/big, it might be beacuse of the hair is plumped up alot... either that or it seems to be looking at an odd angle... just my thoughts... very soft and pleasant... a nice piece overall but i feel that it lacking something that your otherworks have...

[Card Games]

lovely...

not sure about that floating hat but hey...
things i like?... well the background is very themed and extreamly well done if not filtered through masks? the girl herself seems very well drawn... its nice to see more realistic curves even if the rest of the picture is screaming fantasty... the colours are deep well toned... a lovely choice of colours that seem to work flawlessly together apart from the yellow eyes that draw alot of focus... i could comment on all the things i like about it for an age... just a few nick-picky things... the *tail* seems to be sourced from her right hand side rather then centeral... the top of her legs seem odd... i dont know if its beacuse the hand covers a large amount of it... nor am i keen on her tounge sticking out... but thats about it... hardly see anything wrong with it... 10/10... lovely piece from you as always

love looking at sketches...

love how you have just touched this sketch up with some shading and simple white lines for shine... shows you how little you can do to make an massive impact on the final product... also shows you how you start each of your pieces... a wonderfull example of pre-linework

[Yoko Pinup]

how did i miss this for so long!?!

another wonderfull work... not sure about the angle of the legs and feet as they look slightly akward... but has your great style and colouring... 10/10!

Sabtastic responds:

lol Well I'm glad you found it! XD
Thanks, as usual. :)

lovely work again...

theres a few issues i can see... for example... the hair on her shoulder looks really flat... theres no shading or any sort of lighting/shading to show depth... i like how you faded out the hands so you dont seem them as clearly... they look really good from what i can make out... the skin texture again is flawless and perefect... how long did it take you to do this one?... you normaly say how long they take... anway... great piece of artwork... :3

i did this piece over 3 month with about 40 hours work, i had done a different background before but i didnt like it so it took longer :)
