LegolaSS's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Funky Fresh]

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 :)

[Terran Marine2]

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.

[Bikini chick speedpaint]

woah, love the green tone

very artistic and sketchy / blocky but i love it... the overall shape and size of everything looks spot on... athough i feel her hand on her head seems to have sunk into her hair and apear to be coming out the other side... the green tone is lovley and the odd lighting in the picture is really well done... a really outstanding piece of work, if you were to spend a bit more time on it to neaten it up... refine the lines and blur in them shades... it would be wonderfull... but as it stands... its still amazing!

trueWolF responds:

Thanks, i was told the same thing by many others. this piece does have it's flaws.. it's a speed paint after all, and i'm not that good yet to get perfection in an hour n a half :D hopefully soon though with practice. but yeah, i was thinkin of fixing her up a bit, however i also feel like moving onto a couple of other pieces that i've been workin on for a month or so.

[Light The Hands]

small issue..

i really like this work, the chalk colours?.. simple and highly artistic piece... how ever, i feel that his finger *first finger* and thumb on his right hand is far to thin... they seem almost alien like... i dont know if this was done from a photo, but it could use with some beefing up... apart from that the lighting is well done and love the overall use of the tones... nice one ornery

ornery responds:

I knew i would be getting the thin finger critique. Whats hilarious is that my fingers are really really thin and look like that. Also the angle and lighting make it look even more exaggerated.
