GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Russian dancing girl]

A respectable lack of context.
I like the almost collage like style you went for in this, and how it helps build a sense of chaos.
Thank you for making this.

Whoa, I didn't expect it but thank you very much for the thought out review

[1000+ Page Milestone Celebration]

congratz on the m!
I haven't thought about drunk duck in some time, brings me back to keenspot and the like.
Again nice work and I think it's great that you stuck with it.
Thank you for making this.

[Christmas Roll]

Merry Christmas!
I really like your use of brown as the background/filler as it is helps the clash of green and red seem more natural as their culmination, and it makes the whites and pinks really stick out.
This would work fairly well as a Christmas card design, and I like the visual balance of having her centered and then the the non symmetrical placement of the the snowflakes.
You also really seemed to really think about overlap in this piece, like with the boot's cuffs, the bend of the bow. and the skirts hem over the sleeves as notable examples.
Thank you for making this.

[Fingers]

Well it is surely nothing to frett about, but I get the distress of not quite being able to put your finger on it.
So, I fully support journeys you take into scary spaghetti, as it always seems to be rewarding.
I appreciate how minimal the visual are here, and the interesting choice to do the narration in a more CCTV style, giving it an almost documentary like veneer.
Thank you for making this.

[Malon with a Magnum]

Mess with the moo moo get the pew pew.
I deeply appreciate the clashing tones of this piece, along with your excellent shadow work, and the James Bond style background circle as a foci.
Little details like the pattern on the sleeve, the sinch of the ascot, and the round in the chamber really make this terrific.
Thank you for making this.

[Lain Is Ballin']

Based.
I really like your choice of colors in this, with the teal highlight and the violet background, and the water color/colored pencil/marker looks really lets you play with how the light and shadows play on her.
I also enjoy the brick and wired fence in the background, because it helps set the scene, but also because no one can escape the wired.
Thank you for making this.

[Uzalia]

My what precious devil kin.
Your work always seems to do something interesting with the pupils/eyes, be it color or shape or pattern, and it always seems cool.
I also like the obvious effort you but into clothing design, as the fabric has a very tangible style to it, and the nice touches of jewelry here and there really make the character feel like people.
I also like the two very different takes on backgrounds for the characters, and while i like both I am curious why you used the ones you did.
finally, the huge tail tufts are very cute.
Thank you for making this.

[Stare]

Ooooooh dear.
This might be an odd comparison but the different placements of the eyes reminds me of watching super slow mow of birds flapping their wings in long swinging arch with different angles and pitch to catch the air, so the fact the figure has wings as well compliments that for me nicely.
The intensity of the eyes is certainly a centerpiece here, and the iris remind me of static on a red screen, whit a lurking intensity enhanced further by the mess of blood on their chin and the ghastly treat they raise towards their maw.
Finally the muted pallet other than the eyes is an nice trick to catch the eye.
Thank you for making this.

Ang3lteeth responds:

Very interesting insight :0

[anime girl looks down on you]

interesting.
I like the detail you put into detailing the form of the midriff, and the way you handled the skew of anatomy withing the odd perspective.
I also like how her shoes and elbow bleed out of the orange, and simple but striking facial expression, great work on aligning the eye angles as well.
I would say a little more detail on the hair would possibly be warranted, but I can see how keeping it simple help the piece from being to busy.
Thank you for making this.

papyapa responds:

Thanks for the detailed review. Now I know exactly what to work on.

[Siberian Winter]

Sometimes it be like that.
I like the way you rendered the snow on the ground as being so patchy and ill-tended, as it adds to the overall sense of neglect in the piece, like the still active smokestacks in the pitch of night in the background.
Little details like the still alight butt, the piercings catching the light, and the wisps of outward smoke and breath all help to highlight a small and bitter moment.
Thank you for making this.
