VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jessica rabbit]

Nice sense of depth, very handsome piece.

MatthewLopz responds:

it's a really basic background but it does help the image pop out a bit more, glad you like it. :D

[Painting the Doll]

I'm glad this got Front Paged, IDK what the 'different process' is but it sure looks smoother or glossier than your previous works somehow. The tattoo looks like it's laying flat on her back, and has realistic saturation levels. I'm always looking forward to one of your new pieces ;)

[P-Bot-64]

Oh that is just the shit man! It's a fun drawing style on top of a very attractive model, what's not to love?
It sure puts the XBots of NG into perspective, as they were inspired by the bots from The Black Hole, VINCENT 369 specifically. Slim Pickens voiced the older broken bot, remember that?

MindChamber responds:

hahah yah Bob was awesome, I need to get a copy of that movie, I was completely obsessed with it when it came out

[Peridoxel: Red Day]

Nicely appointed character, she looks realistically chunky, I like that. She's from an action-adventure TV cartoon, right? First pic of 2017, there's improvement from previous works. Wouldn't mind seeing something that stands on its own, something that was visualized in your own noggin.. in those few times you've done pieces like that, they've been twice as good as referencing current pop culture themes.

TaraGraphika responds:

VicariousE, I deeply appreciate you for commenting and reviewing my work. You have always been around viewing and enjoying my works. I appreciate you and your time. You have always cheered me on. I'm glad you did come back to see my work once in a while.

Yes, I have been very very very busy. It's all due to my work as an animator. Deadlines here and there.
Our team had just finish the first season of Mighty Magiswords for Cartoon Network. And now we are doing another project that insists on having each day as a deadlines. This means I had to stayback in the long nights and finishing scenes.

It's very rough. And I don't have the time to draw or make my own stuff. Which saddens me. I can only do little sketches. doodles. Bringing ideas out. Not only that, but my social life needs to be balance too. So when I'm hard as work, the free time left is kept reserve for family and friends. But this is...this won't be forever. I will gradually come out of it. And make my dreams comes true.

dreams as in making my own franchise. and stuff. Pray for me. Haha.

Again, Thanks for taking the time to come back to view my works. Its pretty nostalgic. Thank you friend.

[Is this seat taken?]

Just the right amount of wit and subtext, some younger readers might miss the bi-play, or tri-play if you consider the seat to be the young woman's alter ego/female friend.

Sometimes a guy just wants a seat, not an obligation?

[Cruiser D.va]

Very 'American Graffiti', 1950's-ish looking, nice! Although technically no decent, God faring women back then would ever think about baring any tummy, or worse a bellybutton

[Miss America]

It's all great except for the forearm, elbow and musculature around them.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you've uploaded here over the years, it's been a pleasure following you! Also, I don't have a Facebook account and they won't even let me look at your page :(

DocLew responds:

Ooh, thank you a lot!! I'm so glad you like them.
Anyway, this is an old piece, i deleted the Fb page :)
Don't know, i have instagram, always Doclew

[Above it All]

Seriously intense piece, I don't doubt it took half a year! It's almost like you were sniffing the same glue as the guy who did the Denver airport murals o_o Shame it seems cropped and is a bit lo-res, but wow, thanks for sharing this one with us!!1

ILLLOGIC responds:

Thanks for the comment, and the message on my profile as well! The encouragement I get on Newgrounds means a lot to me. I love this community.

I really do need to get a professional camera and I've been saving up for one. Once I get one I plan to photograph everything again and re-upload all my paintings.

[Pastel dragon]

Very impressive, only nit-pick I can think to offer up: if this is a dead-on profile, shouldn't the 2 horns be symmetrically laid down, or are there 3 horns, and we're only seeing 2? Shadows look OK, but I'm no art pro.

What size canvas was this done on? Again, crackin' good work man, thanks for posting on this ol podunk site!

JellicleJunkyard responds:

It was done on 31 x 41 cm canvas, and yes, the thing with the horns was a mistake. Also if you look at the nose you can see that I drew it not in profile which is another mistake. But man, I am only 14 and have still much time to improve. Thank you for your kind words!

[Sophia]

Very pretty and picturesque! Maybe some of the setting around Sophia could use some additional details (to help improve depth), but on the whole it's a damn fine piece.

Don't let it bother you dude, run your own race, I genuinely love how well you render humans and backgrounds.
