GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dead gal]

A spirit with spirit, and quite a bit of vinegar, dude.
I like the mauve-ish background, and the odd dotty aura/shadow, and the way the character pops is very cool.
I like the details of the hands, and how expressive the expression is.
Thank you for making this.

[Moff Cuddles]

Very good moth.
I like how light the green is, and the semi translucent aspect of the wings.
Thank you for making this.

[Desert Dino Dessert]

Very sweet.
Are the throat scale trimmed Oreos ? very neat.
The constellations are a very fun touch, kinda like the light candles as head crest.
also the pallet is very warm in way that I find quite cozy.
Thanks you for making this.

[COMM-こん吉]

I really like this.
It's a very Fox Mccloud by Masamune Shirow design, or I suppose it could also fall under dragon ball era Bulma.
I really like your choice of green against the oranges, and the hair ornaments are very cool.
Thank you for making this.

[Hiding from the big evil overseer]

hmmm slumbering giants, may they never stir.
I like the fuzzy/foggy use of light and shadow. and the constrast of the blues and reds really is eye catching in a way that leads the viewer aptly.
Thank you for making this.

[Spamton in his red drip]

"he got his red drip on tonight, [REDACTED] in the dark, in the pale moonlight"
I like almost mad magazine styleyou went for with the solid and jotty pen strokes.
Both renditions are nice, but I like second background a little more as the green/consitent color use give some fun Tron/Matrix vibes, which really suits the character's context.
The optical illusion aspect of the background orb is quite nice as well, and pops nicely with the first one's yellow.
Thank you for making this

[komachi]

hmmmm.
I can't say what emotion is being felt hear, like I am not sure what words would apply or be appropriate, but the seem undeniably valid for her to feel.
I really like how the large curved pole divides the piece, and the attention you put into how he hold it.
Also the very tangible detail in the fabrics and hair make them seem quite real.
Thank you for making this.

[demondog]

Many I love how busy this is.
It's a very fun revisit on some of the acid trippy Lisa Frank type "sooo many colors" approach with an almost parapa meets digimon sensibility, and it is so good.
The color are great, but I think you used blue as a highlight in really neat way, with the nails and shirt and parts of all the eyes, with it popping against the more prevalent purples.
Also with noting is how much great character you put forth in the fashion and pose, with her sharp shoulders and jagged hip.
Thank you for making this.

[Traveling with Ula and Margo]

Hah.
I like this alot, and i love the labored crosshatching on all the surrounding object in their void with the lack of such making the characters pop out, in a way more real, or just unnatural to their surrounding.
Also the complexity and richness of the surroundings color compared to the simple and internally consistent color in the characters must have taken a lot of work that I can't help but admire.
Thank you for making this.

dogmuth-behedog responds:

Thank you so much for the comment. :D!!
The crosshatching of the leafs was the hard part, giving color is easy because the crosshatching gives more value, im fan of the detail and non detail contrast, its a good practice to show better the characters.

[Chun Li]

wow
Your use of a sun set color pallet really give this a beautiful cloud like quality, especially with the puff and fuzz of how you laid out the paint and light and shadows.
It reminds me a little bit of a picture of Tianzi Mountain with clouds passing by, and also of monet's woman with a parasol*.
I also like the detail work on her fingers, and they way you cast her eyes.
Thank you for making this.

Appreciate the well worded observational comment. While it was not exactly Monet who was in my mind during this(It was Richard Schmid), I was trying to translate a traditional painting technique to digital, in which it involves staining the canvas with a warm color and then building layers of paint on top of that while still letting some of the stained canvas color show and interact with the rest of the colors. I'm actually amazed you picked up on it.
