Z-Art's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vampire]

Really nice lighting with the glowing crystal! you do one of these every day? i suppose for the whole month. Thats impressive, I wish I had that much time ^^

LukeF responds:

Thank you Z-Art. Yep it's a bit hectic trying to get them all done but I've put planning into each to try and reduce the amount of time I'd spend on them.

[Captain]

has a kind of expressionistic feel to it!

[Winged daimon]

i really love his design but the texture on the wings could be a little more polished. also i feel like it would look much better if it had some kind of background, like for example a night sky or even just a darker color which would make his glowing eyes stand out much more.

[Arty Animal]

So cute! And so simple.

[Art Shirt]

Cool idea but you can't quite recognize the writing. it'd be easier to read if you'd put the supplies closer together

EzekielH responds:

Yeah your right, the whole time I didn't know why it would not read out right, if I made the material closer on the "R" and the top of the "A" closer it would be more recognizable. Thanks for the help.

[I love art]

It's a nice and simple idea but it's a little too detailed i guess... If all the lines and text were more bold it would look better and be easier to read, I think. The dot on the i is also a little confusing because all the other letters are capital letters. Also the bow things (or what ist that supposed to be? it's not quite clear) are a little too many and the cloudy background looks kinda muddy. For a tshirt ist better to have clean borders ad maybe just a white outline around it.

Floyds-artyworld responds:

Yah I kind of agree (pretty harsh -_-) & my lines are pretty thick :/ art is not always clean xD haha my first time actually doing a digital hand font xD pretty new at this digital thing :) good luck :3 and thank you xD

[Demon Lord]

Wow, that is some cool demon!
I really do like the color scheme with the complimentary colors, well done! Maybe the fire in his hand could reflect a bit more on his face, body and surroundings, that would make the flame look brighter and give the image a little more contrast, I belive.
It would make it more interesting to look at. To achieve a brighter flame and therefore a more vivid result, I would suggest working with the "color dodge" mode and making everything except the flame a little darker.
Btw, the tiny rats on the floor are so cute!

ArtDeepMind responds:

Thank you for your inputs, but all your suggestions are based on your taste for color, and I think that color choice is purely subjective thing.
The fire is not the main focus, the values are correct and in this lighting situation, it is very unlikely that the fire would be reflected on his body, because the light from above is stronger

[Gelatinous Knight]

Very cute design! Maybe it would look better in a higher resolution, or go full pixel art!

siskavard responds:

i suck at pixel art

[Mercy - Overwatch]

Looks great! Coloring is very good, but the pose could be a little mor dynamic and less stiff, though.

DidiEsmeralda responds:

Hehehe ok, thanks for your comment :D

[Phobee's scifi armor]

The armor looks really really cool, I love the color combination of the warm gold tones and the cool silver, that gives it a lot of contrast and makes it stand out. Also the stripes on the arms which are matching the tail look really good.
The bright pink accents in eyes, nose an fur and the glowing weapon look nice as a contrast to the fur and armor.
You could work a little on the anatomy, to be honest, but I like the color choices.

JUSTinnator3 responds:

Thanks. One thing I've been told on scifi armor coloring is to limit the number of different colors.
Keeping it mainly gold and silver/white was based on that rule or concept.

It's true I could always improve how I construct anatomy. This styling blends a little anime style proportions with a little toonieness and a little realism. One thing done in anime style I didn't do here is add length to the heels. It can be tricky to add the right amount of heel length.
