VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ariel | The Little Mermaid]

Not crazy about her mouth or ear, but wow, gotta love the textures and shading/coloring, nice! Lighting also looks quite natural :)

LlamaArts responds:

Yeah I know what you mean haha, Personally I think her face looks a little chubby but I was too lazy to figure out where I went wrong lol thank you :)

[Gamora in watercolors :)]

Nice, fine lines, excellent technique! Wow, now I'm gonna have to watch this movie! Glad to see another one of your pieces here Miss Bella! The structure of the body and color shading are flawless, very professional.

bella-art responds:

Aww thank you very much for your kind review, I really appreciate it! :D The movie is wonderful by the way, really fun to watch ^^

[The reflection in the cave]

It really does draw you in. Clearly this is an ambitious piece, the depth looks good, though I'm straining to see their reflection in water. It's like the opposite of what would happen by touching the edge of shallow water: normally the distortion is greater near the point of entry, and smoother farther out. Everything else is without question and lovely to stare at.

linda-mota responds:

I think if it does that i'm doing something right..

[Wonder goku]

Love the composition, background, and the creative character! How long did this take to produce?

DavexXx responds:

Errm, not exactly sure. I was drawing it on and off over a weekend

[Candyskull]

Very nicely done! I did take half a star off for the squareness of the upper chest bone, and slightly unshapely breasts, but the piece as a whole is laid out well, you can see the personality of the character through those lines :)

Don't know anyone with a scanner?

DavexXx responds:

Thanks. I noticed those faults aswell. Problem is, I kept second guessing myself with the pencil so I pretty much went straight in with the ink and kept the first lines I drew.

[amazonian]

Wow, that's a magnificent rendering! All those curves look perfect! Maybe the body indentation lines look a tad rigid (dunno why), but damn lol, nicely done!

[Mia Stone - Original Character]

Pretty sure the first time I saw this, it wasn't colored yet, glad it came out so well!

There's nothing wrong with reviving old OC's, they're potentially useful for later work... maybe someday someone approach you with an RPG engine and say, "Whatcha got for characters?" You've already written their bios and stats, personality traits, history ;) But how weird would it be to meet a Mia Stone cosplayer?!

[o'er the horizon]

Sucho did not disappoint! It's much, much better than I thought it would be, can't wait to print it up and frame it! If I had to nit-pick, he's a tad thinner than I would've liked, and the background sunset/sunrise looks like it might be off-kilter... still, worth every sestertii ;) Thank you so much for doing this for me!

sucho responds:

JUST CAN'T PLEASE SOME PEOPLE :P

[Tear]

Tear as in a teardrop, or tear as in rip?

Oh whoa, someone FP'ed this piece, congrats! I was gonna say something about the apparent fuzziness/lack of detail, but there is detail around the mouth, hand and elbow, and it seems to be just about right. You always seem to make faces, you wouldn't wanna look at long (in observing the eyes, nose, overall gaze)

linda-mota responds:

Both. I like both it gives it a double meaning. I just noticed that made my day! This was a tiny peice of metal sheet that was in the bargain bin at the craft store so i wanted to see how small i can go with detail on a 2in.x4in. piece while i'm working on the bigger piece. I noticed a lot of peple say that about my faces/bighead people, which is good.

[Teen Titans Portraits]

That's a damn fine take on the Teen Titans! Looks like you got your money's worth from those markers, the coloring's exceptional!

LemKuuja responds:

Damn right! I didn't buy any too expensive markers, and surprisingly they worked as fine as copics! :o
