VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

['Antenna-Cheese Icon Pack']

I'll be moving into a new computer soon, and would love to have some more of these awesome icons! Maybe do: Firefox, Frostwire (torrent program), Internet Explorer... you deh man, man!!

Butzbo responds:

Thanks man! Heh, I guess I'll be making a second batch sometime. The icons for other browsers may be fun to make.

[Kratos as a Lady]

Oh, how lovingly retro! I know that old magazine, 50's style so well, having had older parents. Yep, those little oddly angled feet, cherub face, riskay pin-up pose, is a perfect flip of the neo-classical Kratos.

Your imagination and skill seem to be improving, genuine 5/5, 10/10

Sabtastic responds:

Aw, hey thanks man! :3

This one was a really different approach, brushes and all. Normally I spend tons and tons of time on the line art, but this drawing had none! It started off as a big fleshy blob of pastel brush, and I just refined the ever living shit out of it, until there was some decent detail.

Cheers! Maybe I'll make some more one'a these days. I can finish these quick!

[Old Final Project2]

Again, this is good work, but what's the deal with the overhead light (or is it a skylight), on the ceiling at the end of the hallway? Looks awfully crooked...

ElectroJoe responds:

I guess for the overhead light I had a hard time getting the perspective down. Might have been because it was too bright at that time, though It also might be the shadowing that's giving the appearance of it being crooked.

[Cat Children - Part 1]

Well, it (the punchline) wouldn't be 'curiosity killed the cat', would it?

Chickenlump responds:

Shut up you aren't my dad.

[Kasumi and her sun lotion]

Oh that's lovely! You did the backgrounds yourself? Just loving the crisp and accurate lines and color! Quite a good pose and facial expression as well! The eyes look a little off center from the nose and mouth a bit, but it doesn't matter, the whole thing looks flawless! Also, the color shading on her right knee, looks a bit off... still 10/10 bro!

pablocomics responds:

Yes I made the BG myself, that's inspired on a photo but it's 100% speedpaint :)

[The WOKing Dead]

This is the third time I've seen this picture, and it's till hard to review. I guess if it had text identical to the Walking Dead show, saying Woking.. it would feel a more complete picture.

The red is a bit of an instant ID killer, since cooks usually wear white. But I do like the red theme, even looks like lighting effect or he tried to wash the blood out before, and just kinda gave up so it's pink in areas.

Spikedemonic23 responds:

Great review, I didn't really think about it that way. I did want the chef's outfit to be bloodied and smeared from preparing the dish, and from past zombie attacks.

[a talon]

I guess it lacks context, the arm pattern is slightly distracting and maybe it wasn't rotated quite right or the talon claws are extended awkwardly... but this still kick plenty of ass.

Looks like if it were fabricated, it would work! The textures are spooky cool, but maybe the blue ball is the wrong color and a tad too small. Despite all the 'issues' I brought up, there's a lot to like here! Maybe if it were holding a bleeding bunny, we'd all be happy :)

PoisonHeart responds:

ah yeah, you're totally right there: them's claws are really wonky. i thought the ball looks misshapen because the toes don't line up right and are set inside it rather than around...and yeah, i see now: looks oriented wrong, not enough motion and textures sit funny.

i'm definitely not seeing a metal crow attached to that. i too love the textures most, and the lighting is pretty decent. but yet, for all the effort i put into the toe sockets or whatever, it still just looks like lumps of plastic. overall, looks more like a crane game claw than a crow foot. =/

[24]

Nice, organic combination of things, teeth really stand out nicely!
Almost looks like the body of a human, is nothing more than a large virus.
The skull really sells it all, nicely done. Muted colors and vibrant shapes... gutz

Sherbalex responds:

a virus, i like that

[These Goddamn Bats Sketch]

Really like the look of fear and loathing, it's better than Johnny Depp could manage during the movie, which was awesome. Couldn't sit through the 'Rum Diaries' though... dunno why. Good book(s) though.

SerPounce responds:

Fear and Loathing was a really great movie, it was basically just a bunch of awesome shots without any bit of important plot.

['AL-76's day on Earth']

This is really something bro. I haven't read Asimov in a long time, but this piece certainly will compel me to seek out the reference story... at least I know it's something my crappy library will have.

Considering what's outside my door ("junk"), this work is personally quite moving, since I'm the robot in this equation O_o It's an awfully large file, took a few tries to get it completely loaded, but I appreciate your work in general... Happy Robot Day, glad to see this piece did a double duty!

Butzbo responds:

I kind of broke the page somehow with the file, Hahah, I made it a bit smaller after realizing that.
thanks for the review!
