GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Projector]

Project-her(?)
I think the grayscale/sepia tone is a nice touch, along with the spindly legs and antiquated fashion.
Thank you for making this.

[scrunkly hair man]

Oppressive, but beautiful.
I really love the intensity of the contrast of the abyssal blue and black and the vibrant colors of the background, it works well as framing device, especially when complemented with piece being cleaved into quarters by the purple energy focus.
Thank you for making this.

[Nikingply's tiger character doodle]

Nice,
You did some interesting things with body language, with the crossed arms, tight mouth, the focused side eye leer, sharp hair, styled but orderly clothes, and literal stand offish pose, and it conveys the character very efficiently.
I also like the visual balance of the tail going one way at rigid angles to the right and the pony tail snaking left in a curve is fun.
Finally, the color pallet is interesting in your render because in comparison to the original piece it feels like you really pushed the contrast of the more natural fur tones with the more unusual reds and purples, usually seen on animals that are quite poisonous, which might have been part of Nikingply's intent or a fun coincidence.
Thank you for making this.

[Six Fanarts Challenge]

Very clever!
Your style has some interesting ways of rendering characters, in the sense that you have a good sense of what to simplify, suggest and compact in a way that is aesthetically consistent.
That said the details you choose still pop, like Fubuki's pearls are very simple but tie her look together well.
The large eyes and slight downsclaing of proportion is similar to "chibi" but is it distinct, 1.5-Chib perhaps (if you will allow me to make a joke on 2.5-D games.)
Final note, I really appreciate that each character has their own background frame, it helps them pop individually, and is a nice detail with how it makes use of color.
Thanks for making this.

[The End]

A literal expression of the mortal coil, yeah?
I appreciate the sketchy style and how smothering the darkness is in the piece.
Thank you for making this.

TankTheta responds:

Yeah pretty much.
I probably should of added a touch more detail, but I wanted to evoke a barely visible look to it, as if the darkness is all that remains, at the end of time.
You're welcome mate. I want to make more surreal dark art, I enjoy doing stuff like this. And I appreciate the comment (Sorry for the late reply haha)

[I did the #GrisSwimsuit trend thing no way.]

Hah
Feels like a bit off a missed opportunity to not have grill/spoiler be black or alternatively the spoiler and a triangular pattern on part of the hood from an aerial shot.
In any case, I like the overexposed lighting quality of the lighting, and the light hearted tone of the piece dose make me grin.
Thank you for making this.

[Window]

Mood
huh that looks like that famous shot from the opening of Full House in San Fran.
I like the "window" frame, and the odd institutional delusion tone of the piece.
I like the low and muddied blues/purples with the yellows/oranges it gives a semblance of coals in a smoldering fire.
Thank you for making this.

[Head snarling wolf]

"Cave Canem"
I do enjoy how much you experiment and keep making new things with all these mediums.
Thank you for making this.

FTerracciano responds:

Thanks to you for your words, in fact I know that saying and the mosaic you shared (you know, I'm originally from Pompeii), my goal as I recently said is to create works with different materials unlike common techniques such as digital and others.

[Nico Robin Hana Hana]

Hmmm otherworldly.
I like the light cherry blossom motif in the background, and green to blue color shift you use on Robin is reminiscent of the Final Fantasy logos.
Also the sense of depth and the poise you where able to create with the amazingly rendered hand are commendable.
Thank you for making this.

HardKoba responds:

I actually was thinking of the Final Fantasy logos in the later stage of this piece lol
And the hands were a nightmare but they came out well thankfully
Thank you for the nice words :)

[Self-portrait]

I really like the halo design, nicely fractured and illuminated.
Great use of pink/magenta as a contrast for blue/black, and the fracture of the halo reflects nicely in the brush strokes and scared face.
Thank you for making this.
