Big-Boss's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Imperial Road (Speed painting)]

Very lovely nature landscape painting!

The lush green mountains, smooth and fresh looking stream, and breathtaking scale are all incredible! I really love how far I can see the mountains go. It adds a nice real life perspective.

Also, it looks very realistic and makes me kind of feel like I'm actually there, which is an awesome thing for a viewer to experience.

Great work! This is very good for only being created in two hours. This deserves more views!

Alexandrowic responds:

Wow! That is such an encouragement! Thank you!

[chibi hell]

Not bad! Your drawing style here is very cute and your line work is pretty good. However, your symmetry here could be better. For example, her leg in the evil side of the drawing is shorter and fatter than her leg on the good side. Also, everything from the waist down is further down on the evil side. Finally, her shoulder on the evil side is pointy and badly drawn.

I think maybe you wouldn't have had so many symmetrical issues if the line separating her good and bad sides was a straight line, not all curvy. Either way, you had a problem with making some things symmetrical here. Everything else was perfectly fine, though, and made for a good drawing.

droepie responds:

thx for the help. the leg on the evil side was drawn that way because it was supposed to be bent (still working on conveying that properly ) I take you critique in account and i thank you once more for your help.

[Mewdon- Mewtow and Rhydon]

This is an awesome design! It reminds me of the suit of armor that Mewtwo wore in the first Pokemon movie. Except now it's kind of like a part of him with this mashup drawing.

The background's colors and design are really cool and I like how you put both Pokemon in it.

Excellent work!

[dragon ink (WIP)]

Wow, It's awesome how badass you made the dragon look by just using black and white, haha. This is insanely cool! You did an excellent job with the line work, especially since you had to make a lot of pointy and jagged lines. You managed to make all of those pointy and jagged lines look clean, which is impressive. I've seen a lot of users that can't make spikes look very good because they can't make those kind of lines to a fine point.

Also, I can't imagine how much time it took you to do all of that shading. It certainly paid off, though!

Knightfanghentai responds:

thank you! i am honored! ;)

[Kingler + Machamp = Kingchamp]

With all of the Pokemon mashups I saw around the time that the contest was going on, I can't believe I missed this one! This is a really cool design! Machamp looks way more tough and badass here than he originally does. Those claws really make him look like a force to be reckoned with!

A cool little detail I noticed is that the Pokeball design it's standing on is half brown for Kingler and half gray for Machamp. Very nice!

I'm really impressed with this design! Great work!

Uri88 responds:

Thanks :) I'm glad you liked it

[General Grievous]

This almost looks like it was ripped straight out of a Star Wars cartoon! I'm really digging the art style.

Isn't he supposed to have four arms instead of two, though?

Uri88 responds:

Thanks:) yes, he has 4 arms but he can also fight with two. His two arms with six fingers can separate and become 4 arms arms with three fingers each one. Here I leave you a link for you to see it ;)

[Spyro]

This is an interesting depiction of Spyro. Your line work is very good and it's a pretty cool design. However, I'm just not a big fan of how he looks more like a demon with wings than a dragon. Maybe that's just me, though.

Also, a background would've been nice and you could've done without the blue outline around most of his body. I think it just looks unnecessary.

SpecterWhite responds:

I had to draw a Skylanders Spyro but since I'm not a fan of that design I just tried something else for him. About the background, I just didn't want it to be flat white and I didn't have any great idea for a nice one, so I just did an outline like that, to make him 'pop out' a bit more.

[Tiger in the Jungle]

The tiger looks like a panther or leopard having some identity issues. The structure of the tiger's face is that of a panther or leopard. It's too sleek and too long. The top of it's head is also too flat.

Besides the fact that it doesn't look like much of a tiger, this is pretty good. It has a nice cartoonish look to it and even looks like how a tiger might look in a Disney movie.

deafguitarist063 responds:

Thank you for the great feedback! I agree with you and it does look little off. I definitely need to work on the animal anatomy more. This comment is actually helpful and I appreciate that. :)

[Spider-Man]

The 3D work here makes for some insane textures! It almost makes this look like a photograph!

The line work around Spider-Man's eyes could've been better, though. Also, not having a lot of the painting blurry would've made this look sharper and nicer.

deafguitarist063 responds:

Thank you for the feedback :)

One of the reason why I blurry everything behind spider man is to make spider man stand out more but i definitely need to work on that.

[Caiman portrait]

This is an awesome design! The detail is fantastic!

This could make for a very cool monster design for a game! I just wish it had a body and was not only just a head. It is great for what it is, but maybe add a body in the future? Adding a body would make this much better!

Kkylimos responds:

Hello and thank you sooo much :D :D It sure would, it's just that i didn't intent for this to be a big piece, cause i am working on some other important stuff atm, like commissioned works, and i couldn't get too distracted with a personal piece, unfortunately :/
