GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sylveon fanart! My instagram is @grungeyogurt]

what a cutie!
I like the way you rendered the fabrics of the out fit, and I think the color pallet for the figure really works well together.
I think you did well to make the background soft, especially with the slightly fuzzy filter you seem to be using on the edges, but I might suggest trying to use a color that contrasts well to make her pop a pit more, maybe a light plum?
Final note, I think you have a nice sense of depth, and your use of the tassels really helps convey space.
Oh, this also seems like one of your first art posts here, so Welcome to Newgrounds, I hope you have fun here!
Thank you for making this

Hard to stay on the beat when your heart does hurt.
You choose a really dynamic and interesting perspective, definitely giving a sense of watchful weariness, along with a hunched back of defensive poise and almost fetal curl, with a wicked but pained look over the shoulder.
You tell quite a story in just one picture, especially with the moody and dark pallet.
Thank you for making this.

whaat thank you for your comment!! glad i was able to convey what i was intending to, thanks you for your reading :)

[The lonely angel]

Nice design!
A great character design in the sensibilities of rubber house/betty boop.
The choice of using shades of brown and orange also give an old film stock vibe, or that of a rough sketch paper.
The dress is also quite cute, and the hooves are a nice touch.
Final thought. I like the use of the shadow, and interesting contrast with the very 2d character, and the shadow helps make good use of the otherwise negative space to create dimension.
Thank you for making this.

[DTIYS Selenada Art - 2022]

What apiece of art.
Great texture work in this piece, from the flow of the hair, to sleek fabric of the dress and gloves, and how the musculature of the hands is rendered through the fabric is masterfully detailed.
The little details of adornments like the mushroom caps on her hat, the small marks of make up under her eyes & glowing on her brow, or the Monarch on her hand, or the petals playing in the air really add a sense of enchantment.
I also really like how you used a light source coming from the upper left, illuminating the pastel reds and blues of the background clouds so excellently contrasts with her deeper reds and blacks, let her pop forward in the eye of the viewer.
Finally, as a bit of characterization, I like how the eyes are looking up and a away from the viewers perspective, giving a sense this a character with higher concerns.
Thank you for making this.

"This is what happens when the Shadow Wizard Money Gang legalizes nukes"
Very stylish, love how the pallet is so shadowy/neon street light bathed.
The characters each being their own brand of chaos really sells this being some wild metro magic beyond mortal minds.

This is quite neat!
It feels to me like a very relaxed blending of Art Nouveau, with touches of natural aspects and hard lines/intricate details, and a character profile in a game's manual.
The thing I find really neat is you have the intricate details work so well in her outfit as well with laces and buckling of the boots and the geometric pattern work of the the blouse, but also have an over all natural sense of flow and curve in the demi cloak, waist skirting, and her own hair/hat. Even the larger earrings almost have a sense of bones, against the necklaces simple geometry.
It is an excellent set of contradiction that make an artful contrast.
Thank you for making this.

ConnorGrail responds:

thanks so much! Im barely thinking about the bigger picture of things like this as Im coming up with it, so its really interesting to hear how it looks to another set of eyes! Im glad you identified all of the elements I did plan for too :)

[Yaya Panda Redesign]

What a cutie
Nice work on the redesign overall, and I think having more of the blue of the jeans/tights really helps balance the colors, as her fur pattern having a light peach/deep royal purple really pops against the starch white/green/red, but the blue on the legs makes the pallet really settle in.
That said the last pic in the series works well because her loos hair balances the more present green white red of her outfit.
Backtracking real quick the new clothes have a nice weight to them, and the cloth texture comes across really well, and is over all a fun outfit.
As final thought, I like the way you put the outline of the expressions on an almost transparent backing to the facial expression folio, I think a less deft hand might have made it look too busy, but the layering is clearly well executed, and it comes out nicely.
Thank you for making this.

NumyPome responds:

thank YOU for this well thought out review ^^! Much appreciated!

[Character In Different Roles]

This is really neat!
It seems deceptively simple, but you had to sit down and re think each character in a different archetype, while still showing their inherent aspect, multiple times.
I especially like the one's where in you double down on the initial concept like Leader x Leader, and Scientist x Scientist.
Final thought, your choices of when and where to include other characters in then variations is also quite fun and thoughtful, like the Entertainer trio.
Thank you for making this.

Thank you

Neat pose!
It really conveys a sense of composure really effectively in the little swashbuckler.
Thanks you for making this.

STearleArt responds:

Thank you for the kind words :)

[fuck II]

Ah, you have done such a good job with my little friend!
I love your work with the reduced color pallet and how well you set up the gradients of shades of green.
You also really captured the little rascal energy of Bulbasaur with the persistent grin and dynamic poses, and the chibi blob pose is *chef's kiss*
Thanks for making this.
