SkillZombie's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gyarados]

Not bad

This picture really captures the rage and ferocity that a Gyarados can inflict upon the seas or those unfortunate enough to be within its vicinity. I like the style you used to draw the water, the Japanese woodblock print style fits it very well and almost looks professional. The colors are nice and give it a very interesting vector/old-school storybook style as if on the next page the story begins to speak of the nature of the sea beast that is Gyarados.

All in all this is a great Pokemon image with Gyarados. Great job.

[WDA - Brackenwood band]

Excellent Rendition

This is a great rendition of one of the most respected series on Newgrounds. The detail placed in each of the characters reflects the quality and detail placed in each of the flash animations that they are represented in. The fur on the Bigfoot and Bitey really look good with the glow and light effects added on to them, really giving them the image of being real fur.

The fire effects truly caught my eye since they almost stick out more than the characters. One can almost imagine the flames flickering around the smoldering skull hosts as they dance around the band.

But the main gem is the amount of personality put into this piece. Bitey, looking as wild as ever, is the lead guitarist, which is really awesome since you need to be pretty fast to shred on a guitar. Bigfoot on bass is cool since like most of the denizens of Brakenwood, base is the foundation of the group. The Elf on drums works well since he's full on energy and can use that energy to really bash those drums. Finally, the witch on lead vocals. Arguably one of the most mysterious characters in the series, her voice is just as ambiguous.

All in all, this is an excellent image with great personality as well as detail. Great work!

[Mitsurugi]

Very good work.

Loving the detail placed in the sketch here. I love the contrast of the outlines as well and the minor details highlighted on the character. All it needs is a little more refinement and some coloring and you've got a work of art.

[Cheri Sunset]

Well done

A very stylized and great piece of art. I love the style and the coloration is beautiful. One thing I would change is a slight increase in sharpness to make the image appear a bit more dynamic and less dream-like. But that's just my opinion and it's still a great piece.

[Graveyard Shift]

Wow...just wow.

The detail in the image is great, especially the cracks in the monument and the gravestones. The characters make me laugh every time I lay eyes on them and the way they messed up the monument is hilarious. Good use of shading and lighting as well and you can almost picture the sun hanging lazily in the afternoon, post-apocalyptic sky. Good job.

My only complaint is that the Castle Crashers monument is fictional.

thanks dude

[Hey: Orange pop complete]

Not Bad

I like the complexion shading used and the vector style has a pretty cool appeal to it. But try to lower the amount of bubbles on the image, otherwise it looks a bit congested.

[New Horizon Generator]

Great work

Well placed detail in both the overall design and the textures in the render. Great work.
