VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Photoshop practice]

Have you considered experimenting with different photo textures? The starscape one's getting a little overused, seems all the rage on dA, even when the texture looks out of place. I mention it, because you used the same one on both subjects, even though as plants, they are vastly different.

Aside from that, these subjects do look well drawn and colored.

[My Bones Are Sore and Cracky]

I think you're onto something! It's finely drawn, but has simple shadings, perfect for children. Very attractive elements and textures. Just wish my back wasn't hurting, right where his is :\

odditiesbyangela responds:

Thank you so much! Mine hurts too, I've been at this stupid desk since 9 AM :| Hope yours gets better!

[Knight of the Dark Sigil]

Phenomenal details, love it! Her weapon could've used a tad more definition/character, but that's just an opinion, hardly detracts from the piece. What a little smirk she has, and with those unemotional eyes, really captures a personality in a certain kind of situation.

LuisEC responds:

Thanks a lot!

[keke palmer]

Dude, very nice. Love the details, lighting and hair. 2 more of these, and you'll be scouting gold (if some one scouts you, you'll be able to scout other people, so they can submit to the Art Portal as well, for everyone to see, not just your fans)

[Once Branded]

Those square Q codes creep me out too.

Carrion responds:

u been spookd

[Say Something]

All I can say is, the sun -will- come out tomorrow, just keep looking forward to that day.

[Selfie]

Wow, I've never seen Jessi look so freaked out before! Very attractive work!

[Explore the ruins]

Exceptional work, lots of details!

[Concept Art Dump]

Lotta good stuff here! Love the woman in the chair petting... the fish for sale? The greyhound looks very good, you should sell the designs to DARPA (or Google), they love robots. Mr. Burns needs new hounds to chase out unwanted guests.... nuclear powered hounds that drool static electricity on their victims, get nervous and pee plasma, while shaking and whimpering |:

Paxilon responds:

Hah, naww! Thats one of the ways you pick up a fish, under the gill or by pinching the eyes. I wonder if you can get a live fish to wiggle its tail if you tickle it under the chin... *dunks hands in fish tank* COME, MY PRETTIES--
Slavering electricity and peeing superheated gases wasnt part of the origonal design, BUT BY GOD IT SHOULD BE NOW. Thanks man!

[Zoom!]

It certainly does look bright out there! That explains the blurry line effect, and the lack of definition between her mid-riff and her arm. Is this the same Arrakis with the spice, and those huge ass killer worms?

Great looking little buggy, hate to hit a rock with one of those! I had a fiberglass concrete mold kinda like that once, used it as a pond boat... should've put rags over the sides, sometimes got splinters while paddling lol

Kel-chan responds:

yeah I'm gonna do a chase scene with one of the big worms...hopefully.

in nevada, you still see people zipping around with these sail cars on the salt flats ( i think thats the proper term) they just take old boats, add wheels and a front boom to them- though they have a tendency to flip over since theres no keel
