Surn's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Now he actually looks like a hedgehog rather than a blue cat with spikes. This should totally make it into a game somehow.

SmokeryDots responds:

It could be awesome to make a realistic version of all the old games :)

Glad to see you're back on the art portal. I like how you've created a nice complex image with a very simple color scheme (literal black and white). The icing on the cake would be if you were to add a cool signature to the bottom corner. In that event this would make an awesome poster.

limner responds:

Thank you for your kind words, I've thought of such a thing but nothing has come to mind(yet) - I'm guessing any simple signature would work. And yes I'm 'glad to be back' and plan to stay this time around.

Is good

Overall it's a decent picture. You show decent drawing skills as the lines are nice and straight and the colors and shading are nice and clear. There are lots of things going on in the picture (such as the blood coming out of the cave and the floating island) which keeps the viewer's eye busy yet there is plenty of room so the picture doesn't look cluttered or too busy. What's also really good is that you put one of the plants close to the viewer so the mind's eye can fill in the details on the plants that are far away.

My main complaint is that there isn't much to suggest the feet at the bottom are actually moving. As a result I wouldn't have known there. My other complaint is that paper and pencil crayon look crude (it's a personal preference but you never know how many others would agree). I'd recommend investing in a pen-tablet and something to the effect of photoshop.

Merol responds:

Wow, actually, I never thought about the plant's feet, but you're right, they look more like if they were just standing there than walking around. About the paper/pencil thing, yeah, maybe it looks crude but, I don't know, I like to draw stuff in paper (also, my scanner made it look a bit more crappy than what it actually is, no lie), but I like to use other stuff, like paint and markers.

Your review was actually helpful man, THANKS A LOT!!!

[Supernova]

WANT!

It's like the star exploded into separate spectrums, very pretty.

Would you mind if I used this in a flash cartoon?

Shikhs responds:

you can use it as and when required

[HARDCORE METAL DEATH SNAIL]

Snailtastic...

Well done for just a pen, lots of texture. What is it with you and snails?

LordZeebmork responds:

damned if I know

[TehdePixel]

Uh huh....

Great technical skill on all around shading and structure. The face is great but the nipples are a bit disturbing in a bad way (at least in my opinion).

TehdeShite responds:

SUck diM nipS puSSy eATar.

[The Claw]

meh...

Looks a bit rushed. Apart from the obvious flaws, the shading on voltorb and electrode is questionable. Still, an interesting concept.

ForsakenX5950 responds:

it was rushed.
