GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[carnivine]

Sometimes pokemon are cute because they are terrifying.
That said, the hyper focused pupils and the some what ominous lighting really add to the ambush predator vibes, especially with the fact the pokemon, in it's relaxed but able tension, seems so intent to suddenly burst upwards.
Thank you for making this.

[Free commission №1]

Deliciously dramatic.
Seems like some one who would have very deep opinions on baja blast, and the dewmocracy promotion.
I really like the dancy pose you put them in, and the sharpness of the hand and finger.
The orbiting and radiating cans are lovely, and work as an interesting bit of framing and depth.
Thank you for making this.

[Bird.png]

Very fun!
The dramatic lighting give the piece a very caped crusader kinda vibe, of fleeting glimpses between rooftops kinda deal.
The pose is and tone is more bubbly then the dark knight, but I think that works really well.
Nice work on showing the sheen in the black parts of the outfit, as it is well detailed and contrast well with how the light fall flatly on most every other than the reflective touches of meat here and there.
Thank you for making this.

[Candi]

Candy coated chaos!
I think the use of the hetero chromia in the eyes is very clever as it add to the chaos but also allows them to have a more candy like quality.
I really like the way you established implied motion with the splay of the hair, the semi athletic pose of the arms, and the giant lolipops candy coated chem trail.
Thank you for making this.

Ortani responds:

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really happy that you like it :D

[Pondering My Orb]

Hmmm, nice shadows.
The piece has an unsteady tone, which I really like, of (is this "a kid being a goof under a huge blanket and a novelty toy", and "the evil overlord cast his gaze upon the fools")
Also lovely use of a mostly blue pallet to makes the orange/red/yellow pop so dramatically.
Thank you for making this.

[Calligrafly - Ink Drawing Of a Fly Made Of Text]

Incredibly raw.
I really like how frenetic this piece is, with it's jagged letters and stray ink smudges, which give a real sense of the nervous energy and filth in any fly.
It comes close to a Rorschach test but is almost more ambiguous in it's clear intention.
Thank you for making this.

VictoransXD responds:

Thank you for your detailed feedback! I really appreciate it, yeah it's kind of what i tried to achieve with this piece, a form of certain uncertainty

[jump jump!!]

This incredibly fun.
It reminds me a little of the jump/intro sequence from the Azumanga Daioh anime*.
I also think it's keen how the color pallet for each character is unique but obviously still complimentary to each other, and just how well you where able to introduce their characterization.
Thank you for making this.

[Julie Fawthe Thanksgiving]

Happy Thanksgiving.
Just wanted to say thanks for always making such cool, goofy, and/or dynamic work.
It is always fun to see your take on things, like Julie's chaotic personification of US zeitgeist.
Thank you for making this.

[Foo Fighters riding on the Echoes Silence Patience & Grace album cover rocket drawing request]

Hah!
I really like your take on, and appreciate the wild vibes you captured,
Your bright pallet makes a fun contrast, ans the way you captured the motion/air drag is quite well done.
If you like doing album covers here are some possibly fun ideas from contemporaries
Blink-182: Play Enema of the State
Gorillaz: Demon Days (for that nice profile collage look)
Nirvana: Nevermind
Thank you for making this.

[extinguish her]

Fun word play, fun design.
I like the choice of a hammer for intergragting a extinguisher like shape, but also because extinguisher, basically, smother out fires, so a blunt force weapon seems very appropriate.
The design of the constume reminds me a bit of TF2 and Valve design sensibilities, in a very good way, but also feels very fresh.
Also the implied motion and force is conveyed very well, and I really like the little marks of it like the swirl of suppressant, the girl of her shirt, the swing of the bag, and bob of her hair
Thank you for making thing.
