Big-Boss's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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 :/

[Blastoise]

Very good work! It almost looks exactly like Blastoise! The reason I say almost is because the eyes aren't the same and neither is the shell, but I won't lower my rating because of a couple tiny things that don't really matter. This is still a very good drawing of Blastoise nonetheless!

SeeStaar responds:

Thanks for the critique! :D

As I said in the description, Blastoise is my favorite Pokemon, and I tried to be as accurate as possible with the art, even doing it cel-shaded as opposed to my regular coloring style. I'll try to be even more accurate the next time :D

[Captain America Calling]

This is pretty good! I like the American flag background, since it goes hand in hand with Captain America. Your line work and detail are great. However, Captain America looks a little chubby. You drew his abdomen and waist a little too wide.

SeeStaar responds:

Thanks for the critique :) I appreciate any comments and criticisms I can get.

Looking at it now, I can see everything you mentioned. I remember as I drew this that I wanted to show him being a little older (character-wise, he IS around 100 years old); I guess I went a little farther on the old side than I originally intended :P

[Break goat]

A little plain, a background would've been nice, but this is still very cool! I really dig the textures of everything here and how sinister the goat looks. Very interesting and unique design!

dogmuth-behedog responds:

Thanks. :D

[the moon]

I love the mood you set here with the dark colors you used. It's got a dark mood to it, but the palm trees give it a relaxing mood, too. The shading and lighting are both very good. You did a nice job making the moon and the fire reflect off of the water. It's a small detail that some artists miss, but you never forget that detail.

The fire should've been left out or should've been put in a better spot. It just stands out too much. The bright colors of the fire just don't blend with the rest of the artwork. I think it's oddly placed as well. If it wasn't so distant maybe it wouldn't look so out of place. Maybe if it was in a different spot, say in the middle of the palm trees, it would look a lot better. Some shading around the fire would've done it some justice, too.

Other than the issues with the fire, I really like this! I'm a sucker for landscape paintings, especially those with anything tropical in them, like palm trees. Nice work!

Everratic responds:

Thank you. I also love landscape paintings, and one reason why I make them is because they're uncommon on newgrounds.

I think this is the most in-depth review I got for my art :D

I wanted the fire to immediately grab one's attention because it's in the center of the image and the trees "point" toward it. Now I know that it just looks strange.

[Concept art for island survival game]

Not too shabby! I do wish it was zoomed in more so everything was a little easier to see, though. Besides that, this is a nice little island painting! It reminds me of Dead Island.

wicka1 responds:

thanks for the input :) sorry for late reply, i've been busy these days xD

[lake]

Very calm and soothing!

Everything pops out and makes it look very realistic. I really love how detailed the grass is and how the mountains and the clouds reflect off of the lake.

Great work!

Everratic responds:

Thanks! I was worried that I used too much saturation. I made the grass by copying and pasting one layer in different ways.

[champion]

Very nice line work and design, especially the skulls that are throughout the armor.

This is a very good drawing, but it really could use some color!

SimonT responds:

Thanks!:) I tried to do a grayscale

[Charizard + Cubone = Charbone]

Wow, this design is absolutely badass! I love how buff you made it look and the skull of Cubone looks amazing on Charizard's head. Also, good job on evening out the two Pokemon's attributes, so there's not too much or too less of either Pokemon.

The background is pretty cool and I like the blue and white, but I do feel like a molten volcano background or something of that nature would've suited this Pokemon mashup better. It would look a lot cooler with a badass background to go with a badass Pokemon.

AlexRod responds:

Thank you so much!!! :D

I thought in put that kind of background, but I decided to make it look like a card of the "Pokemon card game" or something like a hall of fame.

I'm glad you like it!
