GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[poor Elden Ring mimic never spawns with a horse]

Oddly enough, this does make me smile.
Your proficiency in the two panel buildup/payoff formula holds true.
In this and in many of your works you show a sense of humor that has a great deal of warmth in how glib it is, and it makes me feel you really enjoy your craft.
Thank you for making this.

[Gloomy beach]

the calm before the storm, the tension in the air, a comfort before a crash.
I really like the two panel narrative you set up here, of something so large and undeniable, and how you sometimes can only face it.
I also think the cascading and layered grays in the first panel are a great juxtaposition of the really tight focus and high contrast of the second.
Thank you for making this.

OneGrumpyLumpy responds:

Thank you! It's for a comic

[Tankmen CN Colours palette]

wow!
I like the lisa frank does black light art vibes of this.
Your choices of what to highlight on the outfits along with the dot print shading and the in pallet reflective sheen are all quite neat, and make the piece so darn dynamic.
Thank you for making this.

[Rema & Ally]

Fun!
This might sound odd, but I like the fact the characters remind me a bit of Korra and Asami from Avatar, but also that the armor is similar to how 80's anime would render western fantasy armor, like record of lotus war/slayers.
Also I think the flater colors with points of shaded definition works quite well, and is nicely stylish.
Thank you for making this!

BluMiu responds:

Thank you and I appreciate it! I'm glad you noticed that Korra color scheme to because I saw it right away when I was playing with the colors to see what worked best with Aleyamehu's skin tone.

I like how you described that, as that's a bit more in-depth than my going as far as the RoLW aesthetic. For that arc, I suppose, of the story I get those retro fantasy anime vibes and went with simpler designs. There's a bit of Nausica in there too, though was that late 70s or early 80s?

[Maple's New Fit]

Cool design!
It's a little hard to tell if but it seems like she is waring an orange body suit, then a laced bikini then a cropp hoodie and 1 legging and 6% of a pair of pants, and it all works nicely because it gives her a sense of a person deeply familiar with fashion/sewing/thread.
Like even her mechanized rabbit ears give the sense of fabric shears.
I thinking you subverted the challenge quite nicely.
Thank you for making this.

[when you have no fandom., you gotta make the memes yourself]

"Time to make the memes."

Not sure I understand the context but i got a chuckle.
Also the "flower" design is fun, and i like the love you put into the dandelion leaves, as they are quite authentic.
Thank you for making this.

Conqueror is a character from my webcomic, and it's his head

Love the mixing of detail and low poly, and you really went hard on some the reflections of light and the lay of the shadows.
Thanks you for making this

[When you heard about the sightings ...]

how dare you make something this terrifying.
The piece has a kinda uncanny valley/bizarre clay animation primal fear response for me, and still it[s hard to look away.
I like the simple way you rendered the leaves, it kinda feeds into the camoflauge vibes, and the shadowy maw is quite striking in it's sharpness.
Your supernatural/horror pieces really hit home for me, looking forward to more.
Thank you for making this

[Olympia on a Zoom Call]

Ah you mad lad.
This is such an incredibly funny piece to me because of the context of Olympia, and it's controversy in it's own time, and it feels like it's drawing lines from that to modern day sex worker rights issues, all while being an amazing shit post in modern meme standards.
Also deeply respect/enjoy how well you got the charcoal to work for you, and what you choose to have detailed, like the icons and more abstract in natural curves.
Thank you for making this.

DonaldLPatten responds:

Absolutely!
I always appreciate your insight and kind words. Thank you :D

[COMMISSION: Queens kicks]

Great kicks
I adore the contrast of the greenish/yellowish blue of her clothes/hair//complexion and how you made her pop from the orange/reddish purples of the chair and back ground, it makes the spotlight effect glimmer quite nicely.
Also love the choices of high details used sparingly allowing for an eye catching spar between cartoony and realism.
thank you for making this.

ChipsGoWOAH responds:

your description is very generous lol, i appreciate it, the character was completely blue and simple so i figured itd be best to play with the colors and lighting to make it interesting, glad people liked it
