GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strawberry Cutie]

Oh this is so snappy!
It is really cool how you laid out the ensemble like that.
I also like how candid the model for this piece seems to be, as it such a focused look her looking so relaxed really helps sell it.
I appreciate you work on the fabrics and textures as well, as you put a lot of thought into how they hang and rumple here and there.
Thank you for making this.

MellonSnow responds:

That means a lot! Thank you!!
So glad you mentioned the folds in the fabrics cause i've been wanting to improve on that haha <3
Thank you so much for your kind words.

[Ancient Queen Tilly]

Hmm interesting.
Certainly some solid gothy vibes but I had some questions about her regalia.
Is the crown on fire, or is more aglow with radiant power?
If it is alight with flame do they move and crackle or are they silent?
Also does the crown hang stationary or rotate, and is it stationary when she walks or does it have any lag time?
For the waist belt, is it fashioned into the dress or is it magically secured, or just well made?
Do the rings on the horn come off?and If not are they added as the horns grow?
And I
Finally is that a flower or some sort of symbol on the chockers pendant?
In any case I appreciate your use of dramatic lighting and the nice shock of white hair she has on her left side.
Thank you for making this.

On the first point, the crown is on fire. I unfortunately have no idea how to paint fire. Maybe next time I'll try sculpting out the flames too.
Without proper fuel, the flames would be silent.
I'd imagine the crown was mostly stationary, and would only have a 'lag time' if she were to make sudden quick movements.
Her dress is split into two pieces (though that comes across poorly since I only had a limited time to work on it) and the belt is evenly hooked on the inside to keep the bottom portion fixated to the top. I did not sculpt the hooks or creases in the dress, but may do so for the next one.
The horn rings can be snapped off or back on easily, because reasons.
The pendant just has a random design that I'll probably change from piece to piece just for funsies.

[Victory(?) Coffee]

This is adorable.
I am intrigued by how much you where able to get across in a two panel story, and I really like your use of color for framing/story telling.
Other little details are quite fine as well, like the raccoon eyed dark marks resting under the eyes, and the arch and curve of the brows.
The yellow aura in the second image really conveys a game like power up vibe ala the super star in mario.
Thank you for making this.

[Saiko Valkyrie]

Hmm very saucy kinda vibe.
I really like your color composition, as I find it the accents you but on the tone on the skin adds a lot of depth, but also doing a soft echo between the eyes and background is really brilliant.
The back ground circle does plenty of work in making the sketch pop and framing the pose as well.
I think you muscle work in the arms and bust went pretty well, and the legs and pelvis work but the torso is a little off, but gosh you caught a coy facial expression.
I think highlighting the lip and eyebrow a little more, maybe with a consistent soft purple like you used elsewhere would highlight things well.
Over all great work on a nice sketch!
Thank you for making this.

[Commission sheet!]

yeah make that money!
Good luck on you commission hustle.
Thank you for making this.

Thank you!

[Bubbles drinking bubble tea]

I suppose in their shape and form, all bubbles are in fact Rubenesque in nature.
It seems tricky to drink bobba and chew gum, heck the wrong kinda bobba might melt the gum like eating chocolate with gum does.
In any case, I think you played around with the oddly porpotioned nature of the PPG in a fun way, and I appreciate how you made the big eyes work so well.
Thank you for making this.

Bunurrii responds:

Thank you!!!

[GIFT: Villa]

......I guess you did want them to have a cow, man.
Very cute, I like how everything is skewed very yellow, and I wonder it was a choice of palette or a well laid filter.
Over all solid piece, and I hope your friend has a great Bday.
Thank you for making this.

[• ROBOT A.I. •]

This is a lot of fun!
Nice design, that's an real interesting use of high hips and long arms being used, and I like the may you rendered the hair and hoodie design, it adds interesting dimension to the design.
I also like the echoing effect in the background and the very on brand persona red streak.
Thank you for making this.

[Door to the other side - pixel dailies 04/11]

How wonderfully uncomfortable!
It's hard to catch the feeling of foreboding and cloying, but you did it.
I think use warmer yellows is quite insidious, as they usually relax, and they do not here.
The reflection is great, and there was an opportunity to hide some shifting differently in it, but I like simple and direct focus of the piece.
Thank you for making this.

[Rise From Pandemic #3]

Hmmm, it's any oxymoron, but what a pleasant cacophony.
I have certainly enjoyed the chaos of your work, but this one, especially with that title has interesting tone of warmth, and awakening.
Like a pleasant reflection of passing memories.
Thank you for making this.
