VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[sendmeanangel]

Love it, it reminds me of old medieval illustrations, like 'the garden of earthly delights' or something, but in a properly clean and modern rendering. Definitely worth pursuing, this sort of thing. Also like how you covered lion-man's junk, very clever/tasteful! The 3/4 transparencies of the bone and muscle, the hand, the central figure above it all, even the background all gel nicely.

sucho responds:

thanks, it was hard. i do love me some junk, but yeah i'm a big fan of Bosch and the like. the renaissance may have given us technique, but nothing forces the hand of creativity like the primitive earthy fear-mongering of the dark ages.

You made Hillary look a little better than she is IRL. Oh well, she says, http://iwilllookintoit.com/ but isn't that just white-collar talk for 'fuck off'?

Angry-Hatter responds:

Pretty much, yeah.

[pearl underwear]

Very elegant, good interpretation of the character :)

K3MaMi responds:

???interpretation???? the fuck are you talking about. i just drew the bitch.

[Cadaver in the Fleshy Fields]

Takes a great effort to glimpse the actual cadaver. If nothing else, she's too sucked into the field to make out where her head is and how it's angled. I can find her upper torso, the texture of the field overlaps the corpse, killing just enough detail. Is her head the white bit that's looking right and up?

[Dark Magician Girl]

One of my favorites from the series :3 Colors look a little on the light side, boots a little on the dainty side, but overall, perfectly rendered and shaded in a great setting.

moawling responds:

She was one of my favorites as well! Yeah, admittedly, there are a some things that turned out a bit awkward with this (boots, wrist guards, capelette, etc.) so I'll definitely revisit this sometime in the future. Thank you so much! Your input is always appreciated.

[Hellfire Knight]

That's one helluva portrait, perfectly idealized and composed! The proportions of the horse's back legs (and to a lesser degree the rider's legs) are a bit off, but it does lend itself to the fact, that the rider's not completely human and the horse is certainly not a common breed. 5/5

[Tornado Tunnel]

An automotive propulsion engineer's concept car from the future, yay! My first thought: the overall design has seeds in current supercar technology (mechanical output, with some electric recovery/delivery tossed in to increase BHP).

However it looks a bit too tall from this perspective; high center of gravity vehicles make okay SUV's but not sports cars, the tires almost looked tacked on. Also the cockpit looks way too small to accommodate a driver. In my old job, I used to have to build from drawings (much worse than this), and hoped they'd translate onto to the screen well.

A well deserved 5/5! Looks like a F-1/F-1000 kinda car, but likely would fall in the category of modified production/normal street car, with a body kit and an aftermarket tornado tunnel on the back... slightly Rat Finkish considering the mass over the back wheels :3

Kiabugboy responds:

WOW you seem to really know your stuff
To be honest, most of the parts i put in there is simply because i thought it looks cool without any knowledge of how it will actually work. Vehicles isn't something i'm an expert on :p but i find your advices helpful for me to remember next time. So thanks :D

[Dragonology-inspired dragon.]

It reminds me of something I was read as a kid, 'Dragon Soup' I think, must have something to do with the vivid imagination of a child... anyway, up close it looks scratchy, but when you observe it as a whole, wow, forest for the trees :O Yep, you sure nailed the proportions, as well as the dragon's position, challenging and telling at the same time. Very well done!!

[Doom's last supper]

Kinda low rez, but all the characters are faithfully rendered in a classic setting. I like how they're all looking straight ahead, like they wanna eat the viewer/cameraman!
