J-qb's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Friday Flood]

cool

Nice work, good job in incorporating the thumbnail. Nice colors, although the sky could be a bit more saturated. As Savory said, the arms are a bit short but otherwise good job on the character. I would have liked it if it had a bit more shading other than just the thin strokes along the lines. That could really make the character a bit less flat.
Another point of improvement in the drawing is the perspective on the ground. Looking at the grain/grass you drew in front; the horizon should be a lot lower, and it probably shouldnt curve that much. As it is now it gives the idea the the foreground (character/grass) are seperated from the background.
Good job!

SirCannabisClock responds:

Many thanks for the feedback

Character: Dully noted, I know I tend to fault when it comes to shading since it looks bad without lines.

BG: I know, I should have spent more time on it. I hate doing BGs.

Originally it was larger(the back-background you said needed to be smaller). I ended up shrinking it down to half size, and it still seems it wasn't good enough.

WOOO

congrats on the fp! Great work on the depth in this one, good job distinguishing detailed/rough areas. I think you could have probably kicked up some contrasts a bit. Also; the perspective on the guys on the right seems a bit off. It could be right, just seems a tiny bit off.

Occluded responds:

Thanks man. Your notes were really helpful. As always. I'll definitely take another look at it in a couple weeks when I have some distance on it. And I'll see if I can punch the contrast, and see what's weird about those guys. My brother said they threw him a bit too.

Great work man

The teeth bursting through the water really help, and you did it really well. I dont really have any critique on this. Its a great piece. The only thing that seems a bit odd to me are the eyes... I cant really make out if they have a translucent lens on top of them or something or what it is...

Occluded responds:

Thanks J-qb. Thanks for all your input on stickam too. It is meant to be a translucent lens that is nearly completely clear. You can see a bit of a glow throughout. But with the water over it maybe all you really see is the hard refraction near the edges. I could still see the cloudy fill, but maybe I had been looking at it too long. Thanks for the critiques man.

Nice comedic piece

Good work on the fur and general shading; the transition from shark to cat couldbe a bit smoother. otherwise great work

[Deep sea lurker]

Quite good

Quite good but I dont really like it; it looks quite messy with all the different colors and stuff. great work on the eye.

Havegum responds:

Messy is what I thought too, plus I don't like the line quality outlining it. Thanks for the review!
Happy friday flood!

GRRREAT!

Great drawing. Nice coloring on the octopus and drawing etc. a bit sloppy at some of the edges.
The olive and icecube, although very well done, dont really add anything to the pic.
I think you couldve made the water and glass a bit more translucent so that a bit more red would be visible behind it.

Fifty-50 responds:

Yup, your right about the ice cubes. Thank you.
