GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Derelict Throne]

Hauntingly Gorgeous.
I love the detail work you did with this, kike the offering plates at the king's feet showing it was once revered, and the grasping webs, and decaying heraldry; the all breath such an atmosphere into the moment.
The use of light you employed in nice as well because the red light gives a sense of the heart and death and sacrifice where the the head and approaching challenger have a softer light.
I also like the fact that the challengers reflecting light forward, towards his goal with his back clung to by darkness.
Thank you for making this.

[Soapy 2021]

Heh, cute.
I feel, especially with her green, black, and pink color scheme and naturally aquatic theme she might enjoy jewelry made from Pink Coral, Garfish Bone (Green), and Obsidian.
It's obviously and earnest effort on her part, and i like the awkward way you set her feet, and the pose in general as it sits ambiguously between awkward anxiety and subdued aggression.
I wonder about the hoop of the skirt, is it whale bone by any chance?
I joke, but definitely a fun character piece.
Thank you for making this.

OneGrumpyLumpy responds:

I'm glad you like it!

[Darkwear]

Amazing contrast!
The slightly blurred aspect of the piece makes the white, black and red really clashing in some interesting ways, as if they are struggling to assert themselves.
I especially appreciate the detail of the jewelry and finger blazing forth from the darkness.
A Madness piece in this style could be quite......keen.
Thank you for making this.

[Jackochallenge funi]

Hah!
Her nonplussed expression seems to match your own feelings on this piece.
I like it in a meta kinda way, and I hope you enjoy your new tablet.
Thank you for making this.

[Hurricane Ida X Mississippi]

hah
I was wondering in there were hurricane Waifus, so you have answered that unspoken call, and I thank you.
On the other hand, I hope you and yours are safe and well.
I appreciate the 1950's lesbian dime novel motif you went with and it was super clever to use Ida's hair to form a storm cloud.
Thank you for making this.

BombsAhoy responds:

And thank you for the thoughtful response!

[Yura Rikudou loop]

Oh very neat!
I like your use of blue and the layered collage motif you created with the flat colors.
The animation is nicely subtle, and I enjoy the hot air balloon like effect in the bobbing motion and lick of the flame.
Thank you for making this.

[The Eye Mug]

Mug of Seeing
(Attunement)(wonderous magic item)
If the attuned user of the mug drinks the black ichor that fills it at day break, they gain true sight (60ft) and resistance to all damage from beholders.
If the attuned fails to drink the ichor before a new sunrise, the mug becomes inert and the user is blinded for 1d4 weeks, at the end of which the mug is reactivated.
If the mug is attuned to a new user, in any cicumstance, the previously attuned is permanently blinded, even if reattuned (no truesight) which is only removed by wish or a divine intervention.
The mug has 3d6 + 12 eyes and each one can be removed each day for a random use off a beholder's eyestalk ability.
An eye can only be removed after drinking the ichor, and the eyes will regrow 1 per a day while inert.
When all the eyes are removed the mug destroys it's self, but does not convey the ichor affliction, but does grant the attuned the observant feat.
(Nice work, truly terrifying.)
Thank you for making this.

DonaldLPatten responds:

I was blissfully ignorant of the power my Eye Mug possesed. I humbly thank you for painstakingly explaining its abilities :)

[trolley frog]

For a frog on a trolley, he seems to have no problems.
I really appreciate the odd angle of the perspective, and the back ground architecture is quite lovely.
Thank you for making this.

[Char. concepts "Business" no.1]

I really enjoy your work on these.
It would interesting to see your art style in a simple black jack simulator, with one of your stylish characters taking the role of dealer.
They can flash Jeers and scowls as you lose and win.
All of your character's have the right poise to lounge about a Casino, or I suppose, rob one.
Thank you for making this.

Xlyphon responds:

I must say that sounds like a really cool & funny idea! i'm kinda interested, i love the sophisticated side of retrofuturism with a touch of noir so the casino doesn't get out of place at all.

Also thanks a lot!

[Finno-Korean Hyperwar]

This is one dance that just won't finish.
(to explain this bad joke a little bit Chorea is derived from the Greek word choreia, and sound like the name of the country Korea, also Finnish drivers are very proficient, and often finish 1st in competitive racing, or so I have been told)
In any case, I love this.
Thank you for making this.
