VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[PoLOLitics 1]

Ron Paul?

Well, if it is him, I'm pretty sure he's not a bow-tie cat. His back legs look a little short and he seems a little less animated (action-wise) than the real mccoy, which is saying a lot.
Politically, I guess this is accurate - cats are the least expensive of pets and largely ignored until they get underfoot. A nice likeness of a purposely marginalized Presidential candidate. Nothing wrong about meowing about the Constitution unless you like Naziism.

Bill responds:

HE'S ADORABLE STOP OVER THINKING, GEEEEEEZ

[Bum Life]

That's a true picture!

I've known a few millionaire's to put on their bib overalls and get to work everyday, so this makes sense here. Edison used to have all the same suits, because it would save time not having to choose one over another.

ToonHole responds:

Haha, a time saver! I never thought about it like that!

[Hair Brush.]

That's the spirit!

Innovation, style and humor! Hope you make a killing on that invention - if not, add a marker adapter to fill in those more scalpy spots. File the patent, this is all you dude!

ToonHole responds:

I'll implement the marker idea if you'll go in halfsies with me. A new business is born!

[Solar Mandala]

Nice color gradients and form

Question... is there any "Flower of Life" type math going on with this, or any of your other work? If you don't know what I'm on about, check out Spirit Science, either on YouTube or here; it deals with "reality math" and its relevance.

Nondual responds:

I'm not specifically doing math. Just the nature of fractals (which are a series of formula repeated in on themselves) and the way that I combine them, makes these mandalas have sacred geometry in them. Reality math is definitely cool stuff. Speaking of youtube videos there's a really cool series by Arthur Clarke on fractals. Thanks for the review.

[Flo]

Pitching a tent here

I'm glad you meant this Flo and not the one from Mel's Diner (80's TV comedy-drama)! One star off for not "catching" her face. The style and execution are awesome.

MindChamber responds:

yah youre right about the face,

she looks more like Flo from diner dash, the more I look at it.
but I definitely trying to go for her essence more than how she looked,

sounds like an excuse, but if youve ever watched the "real"ghostbusters cartoon, you might get what i mean.

but I AM terrible at caricatures, so who knows i might try this again

[Stop Your Wine'in Part 1]

Very cool and colorful

Grime's a good character with some interesting associates in a colorfully contrasting cartoon! I'd remark on every page of the comic, but I'll say they're all compelling and well drawn (nothing seems to bunch up; no dead spots).
What shall ever happen?!?!?!?!?!!

JWBalsley responds:

Thank you very much I'm glad you're enjoying it, this one is finely done and I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks again for the kind words!

[Candice Clot]

It's kinda rough, but I like

Everything's in alignment and correctly proportioned enough to "see" the kind of face you drew, without a lot of detail. Like cell-shading, only cooler!

Kupia responds:

hm..welll i might color it better someday.and i need to learn how to color haha
so i need time to read tutorials.so someday i will

[scythe]

A reflection on the blade

Very pretty work! Great shading elements - tough w/ marker, isn't it? At first glance, I thought pastels! You should be scouted and be able to get on the Potal very soon. 8/10 stars, 'cause the blade itself needs depth and the 'flection is too perfect and symmetrical (no slant?) Still, impressive.

Gla55angel responds:

Thank you so much, and I hope so :). I also see what you mean Marker was a whole new experience for me lol. Yeah i totally agree with you on the blade as well. I didn't think that through when drawing it lol. Again thank you so much!

[Taboose the meerkat sittin]

Quite the looker

Shows a nice blend of Ed Roth and Dr. Suess type styles. Awesome work on the shading (very nice contrast) and fur.

JWBalsley responds:

Thanks a lot, I like those artists as well.

[Halloween?]

Aha!

I knew you'd come and rescue Halloween. Your OC looks better than ever. Great work on her expression and fingers... calves are a bit large-ish, but gotta have some big boots to kick the kiddies out of the way.

Sin-sister responds:

Hahah yeah, not much of a rescue but thanks ;P
Her expression is pretty tame in this one hah

Thanks, VicariousE :]
