VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aztec Demon Thing]

Whoa, I like the details on texture... that's five legs? So I guess his privates are facing us then, under the cyclops cod piece of sorts. Yeah, this whole things bangin'! Wish the image was a little larger to dig the details in this. And no wrists! Just cool.

MiddleFingerRings responds:

If I uploaded a bigger version, my lazy shortcuts would be far more apparent! Thanks for the review, friendo.

[ORC]

I played the first 2 or 3, and I think the whole series is totally valid! Chibi buggo - a trinity in the foreground, composed Charlies Angels style (not really, but very cute) An excellent shade of darkness, btw. Maybe the cop on the right could use a more, "You know I do sexy good" look.

[Mr Blondie]

That is Ken isn't it? Is the white outline cloud in front of his face his fist? It sands out a bit....
For a challenge, try my usericon, Asterix (French comic book character) The nose and eyes are kinda hard to pull off, even though it's got simple lines.
I like the composition of the face, it has a unique personality that just gels with me.

[Splash]

Even though I haven't seen Nandi's work in a while... well that's who I thought did this piece!
The water effects look particularly poppin'. I'll take a leap and say the 'Garados' looks pretty well rendered, but the biggest horn on his back looks a little lacking in detail, and fails to match some of the other detail - still worth 5 stars :3 The shading looks quite leet indeed.

[Friends!]

I really like how this piece turned out - very cute and all the characters look solid and realistic (anime style-wise) I had a similar problem coloring in GIMP... the pixelation of the fine lines before coloring. The grass looks a bit forced; the cloning effect is too noticeable. Background's awful cloudy... I guess they're on a cliff...
After looking at your previous work, it seems this piece is a quantum leap in your skills! Thanks for posting here - hope to see more soon :3

[Street Fighter 25th Tribute]

A wonderful piece! It's based on Norman Rockwell's classic piece "Freedom from Want", although, there should be a turkey where the caek is. Yeah, everyone's heads are in close, but they have to hear each other and get their mugs in the shot, don't they?
Thanks so much for posting this here and being a rock in the NG art community!

[North sun at south winter]

Wow, that looks like all of us who did the NG Valentine's Day card exchange.... still haven't got mine.
I'm glad you colored this piece so lovingly. Most of the time, ppl just do the line art and let it stand w/ out color. No doors on the boxes? Aside from the guy's shoulder being out of position and maybe the shadows having no relation to the background sun, this is a nice piece that screams "wanting".
I really like the man's side sun... it's good enough to be a picture of it's own!

[Felix]

Felix Colgrave? If he was upside down, it'd make more sense... as to why he's backhanding a wall on a city rooftop, yeah, not getting that. Mouth looks a bit too much to the right, since his right eye is completely obscured.

Hoboweasel responds:

He's shooting a beam of light out of his hand (the adjacent building is far away from him); the picture is also stylized to where I intentionally gave him a large mouth. And why would it make sense if he was upside down?

[Clean Your Room]

Another brilliant, satirical masterpiece. Yet another reason why the system is broken - otherwise, this sort of content would be in your daily newspaper. All aspects of the art in the first frames, are to wonderfully lull you in a different direction... I like the new direction you've taken with your characters, insofar as their rendered. A nice surprise, thanks!!
