VicariousE's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hair Brush.]

That's the spirit!

Innovation, style and humor! Hope you make a killing on that invention - if not, add a marker adapter to fill in those more scalpy spots. File the patent, this is all you dude!

ToonHole responds:

I'll implement the marker idea if you'll go in halfsies with me. A new business is born!

[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.

[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!

[scythe]

A reflection on the blade

Very pretty work! Great shading elements - tough w/ marker, isn't it? At first glance, I thought pastels! You should be scouted and be able to get on the Potal very soon. 8/10 stars, 'cause the blade itself needs depth and the 'flection is too perfect and symmetrical (no slant?) Still, impressive.

Gla55angel responds:

Thank you so much, and I hope so :). I also see what you mean Marker was a whole new experience for me lol. Yeah i totally agree with you on the blade as well. I didn't think that through when drawing it lol. Again thank you so much!

[Taboose the meerkat sittin]

Quite the looker

Shows a nice blend of Ed Roth and Dr. Suess type styles. Awesome work on the shading (very nice contrast) and fur.

JWBalsley responds:

Thanks a lot, I like those artists as well.

[Halloween?]

Aha!

I knew you'd come and rescue Halloween. Your OC looks better than ever. Great work on her expression and fingers... calves are a bit large-ish, but gotta have some big boots to kick the kiddies out of the way.

Sin-sister responds:

Hahah yeah, not much of a rescue but thanks ;P
Her expression is pretty tame in this one hah

Thanks, VicariousE :]

[Skullface Makeup]

Oh, there's a piece of human in right molar....

That must've been tough to shade! Are you going to work like that?

Sabtastic responds:

I sure am!!
Not sure if I'm going to bother wearing the whole costume, though. I work a desk job at a leisure centre, so the kids that come in can't see much else than my face.

[Ghetto child hood memory]

Some bell-bottoms!

I thought the size of 'em peaked before that, but if they looked sharp... wear them till they wear out, huh? Can see why you remembered her (jugs!). Good eye for style and detail in this piece. That's some color scheme!

uncleporkchop responds:

lol yeah man this lady was the shit and i was omly 7. She had different outfits that looked like this.
