GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Touhou doodles]

.....I mean he made music for Homestuck and lived in that guy's house for a bit, but I feel like that just proves your point.
But, yeah 2hu is an odd part of fan culture I am not sure I will/can/would want to understand, but I appreciate your cavalier doodles on the topic.
Thank you for making this.

[Talk on the train]

Yeah you did a great job on the colors.
I really enjoy the pallet you used here, it has a nice smattering of evening sunset purples, and blues and I am a fan of the simple straight lines of the background details, as the world well in a public transit setting.
It is a little hard to tell if the character are sitting or standing, and I have seen a few standing only cars, but I figured out they are sitting from some of the slight cues.
The characters are fun, and I like how you caught there expression, as it makes it clear they are relaxed and engaged with each other, and I like your use of non verbal expression like the pictorial speech bubble and reaction lines.
The lighting is a little "mood lighting" but hitting the club on the train is a funny thought.
Thank you for making this.

Thank you! I was trying to do something different this time, I have been using a lot of orange and a change it's always nice (besides, I just noticed that it combines with my NG profile).
I see your point, it IS kind of hard to see if they are sitting. I will try to fix this in the future.
About the characters, it's always the easy part, the hard one is choosing clothes for them to fit they personalities and the speech bubble with doodles are inspired by the ones Dan Hipp does in his artworks.
Thanks again for the comment, I had not received one so friendly and helpful before and this is going to help me a lot.

[Those Beautiful Locks]

Yeah, I hear small keys tend to help with locks.
In any case, you know this is gorgeous, I know this gorgeous, and I think link breaks the fourth wall with a bomb, and knows he is gorgeous.
I love the way you play with light and shadow, and especially with that huge bloom in the distance, so nice.
The blue is a also super minimal, but does kinda steal the show.
Thank you for making this.

MellonSnow responds:

Looool, for some reason i had to think about that first sentence pffhaha.

Ah man, you have no idea how much it means to hear that! Thank you so much for your comment, it made my day!

[GOLBAT]

I did not know I needed a Mike Mignola style Golbat in my life, but I am glad it is here now.
This is piece is a really fun balance of cartoon and gore that I really apreciate.
You did a great gob using the flash of read and yellow as a framing device for the golbats blues and purples, and I just adore the skulls.
A very well done rendition of this bat out of hell.
Thank you for making this.

[Rocket launcher Miku]

Personal head cannon?
As she hoist the launcher up she cries "miiiiiiiiiiii", and then a little whistles in the rocket make a doppler effecting "KUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.......", then a BOOM.
I am very pleased that one of the twin tails drapes over the launcher, it just adds to how fun thus image is.
And, upon checking, I am devastated to report there is no readily googleable vocaloid 1812 overture.
In any case, I like detailing in the hair, it's simple, but it obviously had attention put into it.
Thank you for making this.

[Overlord characters]

Hmmm that bag of bones.
It's fun seeing the last of the supreme beings and some their floor guardians in suyour style.
It reminds me of some of the character designs from PS 1 era games where they had to make something look distinct but simple enough to git the graphics, which works nicely as they are an avatar and few NPCs.
(If that last part is confusing look at designs from something like dewdrop/treads of fate)
Also that is a really neat use of cross hatching effect, I will have to keep it in mind.
Thank you for making this.

JDYJohansson responds:

Thank you, too! I'm glad you enjoy it :)

[Dragon Boat Festival]

Hah!
One of the big cities I grew up close to actually had yearly dragon boat races.
It is nice to think they might be doing them again with things opening up again.
I appreciate the nostalgia.
Thank you for making this.

[Keroro doodles]

Salute to the Sgt!
This was a such a unapologetically self indulgent series that I still think about how wild and human they all where.
I appreciate you showing the Keroro Platoon some love.
Thank you for making this.

[2GF]

In your mind there are two gf, one is adorable, the other is also adorable, no they are not fighting.
Nice work, a very double mint solution to a cute character.
Also I will have to note for my own future that teal can make red pop like that, you made it look awesome in the background, highlighting, and pupils.
Thank you for making this.

[very pale]

This is quite gorgeous.
The pallet is really interesting because it seems very muted but you put alot of work into the shadows and shading, but also the few sparks of color like in the jewelry and sticker just pop so much in contrast.
The pose and shot angle are also very bold and give a very cool and confident tone
Thank you for making this.
