LegolaSS's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pensive]

a little to basic

ok... so this is what i think, the background is the only thing going for it seen as you want the forground been all black... if you want this style to work... your going to need to refine your black lines... they are VERY splogy and all over the place... you need to put alot more time and detail into them.... try to get as much detail as you can, your only working with one colour so it shouldnt be a ground breakingly hard task... now... for the background, i like the line effect and the colours... and thats about it... i feel you should have zoomed in with a smaller brush and did alot more detail then what you have done... like iv already said about 5 times... its the DETAIL that makes a piece like this... im sorry but this isnt good enough...

[Mushroom City]

nice style

very cartoon like but at the same time... realistic... almost comic style... i would recommend paying attention in class and doing the proper work... as for the artwork.. the lines are very well done and smooth... shading is good in places where you havent smudged it by accident... would like to see you do some work on plain paper for a change... but the pen really picks out the details well... a good job!

Zepizza responds:

Yeah, well, there are obvious mistakes in that drawing, if you look closely to the "webs", you'll see that I haven't shaded around them, but since that was a "for fun" drawing, I kinda liked it.

I'm just finishing another "classtime" drawing and I think I'll do in a proper paper.
The pen isn't ballpoint pen, I don't know the name, but remembers a small and compact brush, it is really cool, it made the comic-like impression.

Thanks for the tips.

[Hot Bikini Biker Babe]

would love to see it finished...

the colours and shades on the girl are fab, i really love the strong contrast in colours here... feel that without the bike been finished its really letting the rest of the picture down... love the simple highlights on the metal... apart from really urging you to get this finished... there seems to be nothing wrong with any of the linework... well... that part of the bike infront of her leg looks slightly un alined but a simple buffing out of it would do the trick... it might already be correct but without it been finished i cant tell... so what are you waiting for?... lets see this finished!... done and dusted :3

[Baloon]

reminds me of gaudi's early work...

with the sky background a red line with a red kite attacted to it...

very nice... very simple... like the realisticness of the painting with the score marks of a brush / rough paint comb... i cant tell if this is a real painting or a computer made one... the background screaming with realistic but that ballon looks to perfect to be painted.. nice work... but like i said i think the simplisty of it is to much... im not saying more should be going on... but i feel that its not artistic enough to be a artwork you would hang on a wall... its just my thoughts... but a very good job non the less...

idiot-monarch responds:

It was made in Photoshop.

Thanks for the crits.

[Starcraft Ghost: Fan Art]

some one say starcraft!?

nice work on this one... whats it done with? penicle and charcoal?
anway... like the zerg touches on this one.... the female ghost is very well done and highly detailed... i feel areas in the background have been neglected and your main time was spent on the girl... for example... the wire/cable along the floor isnt great nor well shaded... love how you did the cloaking effect... overall a good job... just needs tiny adjustments to be perfect

Xionscar responds:

Thanks!!

You're totally right.. This needs to be cleaned up a bit, and detailed in certain areas!
I'm not sure I'll go back over this one though... I've since learned how to set pictures up for painting and this would be a pain in the rump, to say the least.

In that, I mean, I don't do as much graphite work these days... mainly focus on digital paintings... :D

[Tara Rose II]

not bad for a speed paint

the face is very well done for a timed piece... however the rest really shows how much of your time you spent on it... the body is very strange... almost hunch backed, twisted and warped... doesnt really have much distinction to it... its like a large block, the spikes on the shoulder look like some sort of bad welder put it together... i would really like to this this redone and touched up... it has potentional but in its current state its not great...

mrbob0822 responds:

Hey, thanks for the critique! It's tough writing a critical review providing helpful things for an artist to work on, but you've given me plenty to think about and apply to future pieces.

Thanks again!

[Ginger]

love the colours...

fine shading and rather simple lines... love the tiny details on this and the work on the face... i really like how the background is made to look like and edge of a table or chair of somesort... i would say neaten up the lines as they are slighly wobbly and touch up the shade a bit to be a tad stronger... a really nice starter piece

MattakuShinzu responds:

Yeah, I drew this back when I still had my really really crappy tablet, so I'm not happy at all with the line work.
