Big-Boss's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chapter 1: Tower of Ambagis]

It's amazing how you can add so much detail to the tall building that is so distant in this painting. Also, I really like how the light reflects off of the water. But one flaw I can point out is that some strokes in the middle of the painting really stick out and look unnatural and rushed. Nonetheless, I'll be looking forward to see more paintings from you!

SkyrisDesign responds:

Thanks! and Yea i see what you mean T.T I haven't done a landscape in a while and this 1 really kicked my ass

[Hide and seek]

I really love the colors you used and the detail in this painting. The dark colors, especially the dark orange, bring out a suspenseful vibe to me. The detail of the blood splatter on the window and the alien's drool adds to that suspense. I'm definitely adding this one to my favorites. This is a great painting you created. Keep up the great work!

Rhunyc responds:

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you like it so much! Thanks for reviewing :3

Oh, the nostalgia...The Lion King is very close to my heart and always has been. You did a very good job on this painting. I'm surprised how well Timon looks since his stature is so small in this painting. The one thing I can point out though is that I think Simba's tail should be thicker. Also, instead of his tail going straight, perhaps it would've looked better if his tail was curved, if you get what I'm saying. Overall, you did a very good job.

[Disassociation]

It has some nice detail to it and I also like the background and the colors you used, but the proportion of her breasts are poor. The right one is clearly larger than the left one. Also, her collarbone on the left side should be showing to some degree, while the right side looks too close to her neck. Perhaps you should work a little more on your female anatomy. It's definitely got potential and it's well done for the most part. I do enjoy your artwork, so keep it up!

Rhunyc responds:

Thank you very much for the honest feedback! Yeah, her body is supposed to be at an angle so the one on her right is a bit closer and facing view so that's why it's bigger. However, I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out, but yeah, it is bigger than it should be.

The collar bone thing though, I was going to cover it with hair on the left side (not to like hide it, but that was just my plan..) Looks like I ended up forgetting to shade the strands in that area. D: (Usually after I submit things and call them finished, I realize I forgot a thing or two..)

But I am trying to work on my female anatomy! Anatomy in general is really my failing point, so it's been a focus of mine to do these studies to nail proportions down.. I still have a long way to go, but at least I've been trying. This was just one of those attempts. :)

Again, thank you for the honest review, it's nice to hear points of improvement! Very appreciated. :D

[Dying TImes]

Superb, I love gas masks. It has very good detail and shading.

legendofslotha responds:

Thanks, I actually want to remake this because it's quite old and I feel I've progressed since then :P

[Water Elemental]

I really like how detailed you made the monster and how the atmosphere blends in with him. You did a good job making it look realistic with the gorgeous detail and by using different shadings. It's definitely a very cool painting. This would look extremely cool in a video game.

RussFairchild responds:

wow! thank you so much =)

[DiCaprio]

I think the lighting should be just a little bit better. But other than that, the details are superb as well as the shading, especially on his hair and face. Good job.

[Dashing through the snooooow..]

I really like your style of art lately as you've been blending soldiers with gas masks with cold weather. I really like how you design your soldiers! Keep up the awesome work! I hope to see more of this in the future.

Rhunyc responds:

Thanks a lot! I'm glad to hear you're diggin the little universe I've got goin. :) I will definitely be doing more of these in the future. :)

[The Sane Hatter]

This is definitely a different piece of artwork, but I mean that in a good way! This is very innovative and amazing! I really like how you colored it and how you blended the green into everything. What inspired you to do this? And what do the arms represent?

zephyo responds:

thank you! The green???? Alright. I am always inspired by myself. I'm not really exposed to outside influences except childhood memories. The robotic arm represents technology, the middle represents humanity, and the last represents strategy.

[Santa's Workshop]

I really like your idea to make the reindeer robotic. It's very creative and detailed! I can tell that the one in the front is Rudolph because of the red nose. That's a nice touch that I think some other artists would forget to add in. Awesome work!

Thank you very much! Glad you like it! :)
