VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Four Horsemen]

Ah, funny? I just got done planting (plants not kittens, though there are 3 of em out there) farming, when this comes up :P The last frame shows a ponytailed guy (again, wtf?); at least I wasn't wearing a wifebeater.
I think this is a great idea, as it looks like a reality TV show, in a wonderfully ludicrous way.
You got the vote of this farmer to continue, if you wish. Well done.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks man
(although thats supposed to be a woman at the bottom, but it doesn't really matter)

[look more gay porn]

I'd most certainly have given this a higher star rating, if I knew a little about the premise behind this. This from a vider game? The setting looks well rendered and complimentary to the 'tenderly distracted' subjects on the right.... what's that device in the lowest right? A good piece, with plenty of detail (I've done that to drop lights once) that doesn't seem to bunch up. Implied textures also kick ass!
Hmm, tag sez TF2... they have scripts in these 'shoot em up' games? Who knew it had a romantic sub-plot?

Civilized-Apocalypse responds:

so im getting a bad rating because you yourself dont know what this fandom is from. wow seems fair, thats totally the reasoning behind the rating

[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.

[Flake With Black Wings]

OMG, this looks like a friend of mine, I must link him to this!
A really good portrayal of the face, though the 2 neck lines are a bit too thick and undescriptive.
The arm crease that runs straight up from the armpit is a bit too long... the porportions got off on his body somehow, vertically I mean.
Yeah, the hair and wings work well too. Nice job :3

Kupia responds:

have you ever seen Flake? xD he has REALLY weird proportions.
seriously,he's a walking stick.
oh well,glad you liked it and i hope your friend likes it too :3

[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!!

ToonHole responds:

Flattery will get you everywhere, VicariousE

[Let's Misbehave]

A purple-rocked city (matches the Art Portal)... an odder than usual set of creatures... and the wonderful, spoken sentiment. Sounds like a line from Serenity, the Firefly movie; the dour expressions make it that much more humorous. I'm kinda busy now, but I just had to say that!

JWBalsley responds:

Thanks a lot, I have not seen those movies yet but I know of them, I'll have to check them out soon.

Cheers!

['SuperGameboySonic Breakfast']

I don't know everyone's voting low on this. For a hand painted and inked picture, this is very aesthetically pleasing for me to look at.... I never owned a Gameboy, but I'm sure there are lots of people who'd like this framed on their wall. I took a half star off because it looks a little dark and, even though the detail is precise, it (barely) looks like it's a pretty small canvas you had to work with.
Looks good and lively!

Butzbo responds:

Heh, thanks man, i made these from a stock of wooden 'squares' i found in my house, quite small squares, though.

[Zombies Ate My Neighbors]

I was walking the Earth when the original came out... 100 levels and NO saves.
Also had a creepy repetitive sound track, if kin remember.
It looks more like the original when not zoomed in, very curious... almost looks like hi-res pic art.
For creeping me out, I take 1/2 star... which unfair, I'm sure. How long to do?

BansheeIndian responds:

I started this and finished it in one day, about 12 hours total. I don't know why I did this in one day, and I'm pretty sure that it's ill advised to do such a thing, but I really just wanted to finish it.

[Subzero Day Version]

I'm glad to see you're still posting here, and your skills are improving! I had to take a half star off for the thick outlines on the background elements (rocks and trees), but this was a commission...
The foreground critter and his reflection is wonderfully and realistically done, although I've never seen a pond look so round... a bit of a perspective problem there now that I look at it. Minor quibbles for a major beast. Good show!

Maszrum responds:

You've valid points. Thank you. :3
