VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Burd]

Am I seeing this right? He has a long nose, one upper beak and two lower beaks?
What they hell are they making over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_Island_Animal_Disease_Center? There are some impressive qualities in the face.. just beyond me.

["Love ya Bot"]

Outstanding. Dunno who Gaige is or what anime (presumably) she comes from, but damn, how good this looks! Wonder who'll scout you, now that you got 4 awesome pictures up?
Thanks for sharing this, and the other pieces!

[Brush test]

Dat hair... I want tattooed on my bald spot :) Excellent work on the color shading, congrats on the new brushes!

bloominglove responds:

Haha! Thank you! :)

[Cavegirl]

I wonder if I should trust that smile.....
She must be sitting on something short, to have her tiny feet positioned the way they are. It's a little awkward looking, but the fur wrap can explain her body position convincingly enough. What lies coiled beneath the shawl?

beastkid7 responds:

lol your probably shouldn't

I ment for her to be just sitting on the ground, hehe. The ground is short I guess. Thanks for the review ^^

I've never seen so many great textures in one picture before (or so it would seem)!
Really great to hear this was a fun piece, and it kinda shows!
The human characters seem kinda dwarfed compared to the other subjects... but the excellent composition of elements/background, draws you in very nicely! Looks like a classic game picture from the 80's, only better!

ItoSaithWebb responds:

Thanks, I have of late have been trying to push more on my textures which can creature good contrast.

[Another Sunset]

Why disappoint? There could be some variation in the coastline, but other than that, this is spot-on! You even got the sun's haze just right.... and what forgotten city is over yonder?

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks. I'm glad someone noticed the city.

[seeing red]

Oh, the eyes are pretty far apart, but the whole piece, the detail and the modified-body-vibe it gives off, is pretty bad-ass. Could be a little rageier looking in the face though.

[Highschool]

Months.. sure this took months!! You're lucky no teacher ganked this on you! A lot of bored kids do the same sorta doodles, but the consistency of this work is extraordinary, especially given the time period involved!! And no ink spots either (unless you inked them in). I spy a touch of black ink... What kind of pen did this? I prefer a Pilot G2 very, very fine point meself, but even that one gets a bit sloppy, if you're not careful :)
How crazy would it be to color this digitally? A most excellent piece.

NoLanLabs responds:

Ha, I used a generic ballpoint pen that some college gave out for free (it was all I had at school at the time). Typically I use Pilot G2s as well though. I actually prefer the thicker points (1 mm) because they always make a bold, solid line - in this drawing you can see some areas (like the top center) that are much darker than others. But that's just my opinion.

Digital coloring would be awesome, but I have no experience at all with digital art so I wouldn't know where to start.

[Viking Sam]

Aside from the eye looking a tad big n' bulgy, I really like this! Proportions seem right, love the way she's standing... neck seems a bit long, or it could be she's so tall and slender :)
The outfit is magnificent, great design! Could use a little texture, but it stands pretty good on it's own.

[Playful]

I liek these details :) The background graphics are wicked good!!
