Big-Boss's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toy Fiction]

Haha, I found this pretty amusing as a huge Pulp Fiction fan. Very nice work both creative and drawing wise.

instantbenz responds:

Many thanks! I plan on doing an illustration more specifically pulp fiction soon. It's on the list ;).

[Candy Corn]

This is such an adorable piece of art that fits the Halloween theme! I love candy corn and this painting makes me want some. I love all of their different facial expressions and that they all have their own unique faces. It has such a cute cartoon look to it and I absolutely love it!

[Blue Bird]

This picture is blue indeed! I like how the bird blends in with the night sky and the clouds. Blue was definitely the best color to paint the bird, in my opinion. I'm not sure what those flakes are supposed to be, though. Stars perhaps? Nonetheless, they look good with this artwork.

A couple of flaws lie within this artwork, unfortunately. The bird's wings are not proportional, for one. One wing is about half the size of the other. For the other flaw, this is probably opinionated, but I think it's beak is a little bit more downward curved than it should be.

VlikeVince responds:

Thx
I tried to use the 2 point perspective method to make the proportions better.
Didnt worked out as well as I thought it would !
Thx for your comment :)

[TheSpiderTotem]

This is insanely cool. How I interpret this piece of art is that it's like a bunch of small symbols within a big one, which is shaped like a spider. What do all of those small symbols mean? Or did you create them yourself with no real meaning behind them? This is a very intriguing work of art. I don't think I've ever seen something like this on Newgrounds before.

[Red Bust]

The shading, and body shine are very well done. Your line work on her body and hair is exquisitely clean. I feel like her nipples are a tad higher than they should be, though.

Rennis5 responds:

Thank you :D
I did use a photo reference, so maybe the girl in the photo had high nipples?
I think I have a thing for girls with high nipples lol.

[Welcom]

Not as visually sharp as your other artwork, but I see that was intentional, so seeing it from that point of view does give it a different feel. It gives it a little more of a darker and sinister look and perhaps, gives the fog a stronger affect. It does look fairly good on the crows perched upon the flag. The blurriness is not my cup of tea, but I promise you that this is not a biased review.

One thing I do really like and find creative about this painting is how the word 'death' is spelt out with sticks and placed upon the rock above the (safe to assume?) Grim Reaper's head. I didn't notice it the first time I looked at this painting, but glad I did the second time because I found it very cool how it pertains to the Grim Reaper and the skeleton portrayed here.

SkyrisDesign responds:

Yea I am usually not a fan of blurriness either but I want to add some to make it look more scary ish. I am not particularly proud of the out come but I wasn't enjoying this much

[Once in a blue moon]

A very cool and calm painting of a castle surrounded by blue darkness. The cyan colored windows of the castle are well complemented by the blackness of the castle and the other shades of blue used in this painting. The castle is drawn with great detail and the clouds are drawn with a very nice fluffiness to them.

You did a splendid job on this painting, but one flaw I see is that the light illuminating from the moon is drawn rather poorly. The lines that outline both shades of light are jagged and disproportional, especially the lighter shade. Since the moon is a nicely drawn circle, the two shades of light illuminating from it should be as well.

Nonetheless, I really like the calm night vibe I get from this painting, so I added this to my favorites. :) I can tell by looking at your other artwork that this was a very different approach from the art you usually produce, so just keep on improving!

Wow, thanks for the review! I appreciate the thought you put into this comment and I'm glad that you liked it. C:

[Trihorn Warbeast]

This painting is very elegant with the calmness of the forest combined with the different shades of green used here. The dark green triceratops portrayed here is very nicely complemented by the lighter shades of green used to color the plants and certain tree leaves. Every part of the triceratops is amazingly detailed, especially his muscle structure.

I don't know what inspired this painting, but it truly is incredible. It kind of reminds me of a jungle version of He-Man. Instead of He-Man you have some sort of jungle warrior upon the triceratops' back and instead of Battle Cat you have the armored triceratops. It's a very neat, impressive and creative painting.

It would be a cool idea to create a tyrannosaurus rex version of this painting. The tyrannosaurus rex could be colored red with molten lava and rocks in the background. Just a suggestion. :)

Hope to see more from you soon!

buriedantenna responds:

That's a very extensive review, thank you for going into such detail :) Great suggestion too— if I do anymore dinosaur stuff it will be hard to resist taking on the T-rex. In the meantime I do have a dragon for you that is red and has rocks and lava in the background.

[Katz]

This is an enjoyable clay sculpture of Katz! I would give this a higher rating if you submitted the full sized sculpture, but I digress. You got the slenderness of his body just right, along with the shape of his face and his colors. One problem I see, though, is that his ears are unequal.

You are very talented at crafting clay sculptures, judging from this piece of art and your previous ones, so keep on improving!

[Harpie]

The harpie is very nicely detailed and her wings, hair, tail, and feet have a nice vivid sharpness to them. Her skin tone goes well together with the color of her hair, feathers, and tail. She is a very well constructed and bold painting, for the most part.

A couple of small issues lie here, unfortunately. Her breasts are disproportionate, for one. Her left breast is bigger than her right one. Also, I have a feeling you intended to draw them that way, but her wings are disproportionate as well. They should be the same length to look more well done.

I really do like how you designed her and I'd love to see more harpie paintings from you!

7darkriders responds:

hey thanks buddy for the breast and wings I am trying to create a perspective point of view but that is a part of my weakness which I'm trying to practice in most of my latest drawing.

Although I won't be continuing more Harpie paintings its just a part of my campaign that I started called "Monster Girls". But your welcome to make a commission if you like to see more
