VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solar Mandala]

Nice color gradients and form

Question... is there any "Flower of Life" type math going on with this, or any of your other work? If you don't know what I'm on about, check out Spirit Science, either on YouTube or here; it deals with "reality math" and its relevance.

Nondual responds:

I'm not specifically doing math. Just the nature of fractals (which are a series of formula repeated in on themselves) and the way that I combine them, makes these mandalas have sacred geometry in them. Reality math is definitely cool stuff. Speaking of youtube videos there's a really cool series by Arthur Clarke on fractals. Thanks for the review.

[Skullet]

Quite the creepy looker!

A few centuries and one or two good solar flares, and we're all going to look like that.

[Cure for AIDS]

That is so true

Scores of bio-engineers have been killed that way. Sometime in the 80's (in LA), 4 or 5 people got killed New Year's day, after the gang bangers shot their guns in the air.

[happy holidays]

and a very merry christmas to you as well!

You've been such a fixture here over the years and I don't think I've ever thanked you for posting here. May your cup runneth over with toasted bunnies this holiday season!

[Pan's Flute]

Joyous Music

Excellent work on the shading and character... almost reminds me of Louie DePalma from the old show Taxi. I like how the character's butt is so very sitting on that rock; I don't think he's getting up for a while!

[Flo]

Pitching a tent here

I'm glad you meant this Flo and not the one from Mel's Diner (80's TV comedy-drama)! One star off for not "catching" her face. The style and execution are awesome.

MindChamber responds:

yah youre right about the face,

she looks more like Flo from diner dash, the more I look at it.
but I definitely trying to go for her essence more than how she looked,

sounds like an excuse, but if youve ever watched the "real"ghostbusters cartoon, you might get what i mean.

but I AM terrible at caricatures, so who knows i might try this again

[Stop Your Wine'in Part 1]

Very cool and colorful

Grime's a good character with some interesting associates in a colorfully contrasting cartoon! I'd remark on every page of the comic, but I'll say they're all compelling and well drawn (nothing seems to bunch up; no dead spots).
What shall ever happen?!?!?!?!?!!

JWBalsley responds:

Thank you very much I'm glad you're enjoying it, this one is finely done and I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks again for the kind words!

[Snowy Apparition]

brilliant

The lighting on her face and hair really set the tone for the whole piece. Other than her ankle (which looks a little swollen), the details are evenly and wonderfully rendered. It's like you drew the subject around the light! A brilliant present.
