GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[id rather die]

Hey, you can certainly feel any way you want about your art, but I like this.
It's got an interesting "another universe's meme" vibe to it, like instead of "every thing is cake", the joke is "everything is jawbreaker".
Anyways I enjoy the overblown neons and the solid vibe of cheshireian madness.
Thank you for making this.

Hmmm, it seems you are having fun with this series.
It's some solid progress in terms of progress on anatomy, and reminds me a bit of SrGrafo "Chloe" which he uses to develop anatomy skills.
Be aware it NSFW put for nudity not lewdity:

In any case, I can see from the penstrokes your putting alot of though into this, and I think your doing well.
A side note of personal curiosity; I consider most of what your drawing in this series to be "cheescake" or pin up that is PG 13-ish so T, I would usually see M used for more sexual connotation with out actual lewdness or more skin/nude model, and I note you labeled the series M.
Now if that's your sorting method, or just your aesthetic assessment, I respect that, but I was curious as to your method.
Thank you for making this.

at the time I read the categories but I no longer remember them well so I just put them as I thought they should be xd but you're right. Thank you for the support and the link of the artist that you put, it is very interesting

[Trapped in 3d]

Decidedly charming.
You captured a solid PS1 dose of adorable.
It's interesting, and skillful, that you implemented the right kind of uncanny valley in nature of the gesture, the pivot of the neck, and such.
If you have any notes on how you made this, especially the fake crt filter, I would be please to hear them.
Thank you for making this.

[Speakerphone with the Boss]

Just a glass of "forget whiskey."
Nice touch having the hair knocked back by the grouching, and the fact you actually highlighted the speakerphone mode being active is lovely.
Thank you for making this.

[Jump n' Shoot]

impressively adorable.
Nice use of the green gears to emulate the games backgrounds but also eliminate the negative space.
I am a little confused in MM is kicking off or landing but I like the sparking impact wither way.
Over all a very nice and expressive rendition of the blue bomber.
Thank you for making this.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts ~dedaleede!~"
As always I enjoy your work.
Thank you for making this.

[Kruggsmash fanart- Scorchfountain]

It is nice to see Kruggsmash and the beetles get some love.
I appreciate the attention to detail on the armor design and material, and the beetle beard makes me quite happy too.
Also great display of kinetic motion with environmental elements like the kicked up dust and looming shadow of the mount and rider.
Thank you for making this.

wobblywatts responds:

Glad you liked it! I love them beetles so much man, they big they cute they stronk.
I'm glad you appreciate the motion and materials, they were definitely something I tried to focus on making work in this piece

[Aerodynamics of a cow]

What an udder drag.
I like the follow up sketch with the air resistant flow, it is very clever, and makes and solid out of a nice piece of cheesecake pin up work.
Thank you for making this.

TwoSipsofBleach responds:

thanks, and i did think of adding that but i decided to just stick with the arrows since it's closer to the original pic

[Corrovoir]

Hmmm.
Yeah it's pretty cute.
Just be aware of possible legal issues, and have fun with it.
So, yeah I can diglett.
Thank you for making this.

[Death Parade //]

"This is all I get?"
"It was more than many"
- a paraphrased exchange with Death from Sandman (Neil Gaiman.)
The parade reminds me a little of My Neighbor Totoro, and the parade of spirts in the opening credits, but also of the mysterious tree spirits from Princess Mononoke.
I think both films worked well with the natural eventuality of life, and l like how stark and lonely you made this moment in your piece.
Also strong choice to drain the reds from everything in the pallet except for the blood flowing from the foreground, and the soft purple of the marching band.
Also there is an implied motion of that you made that I think is quite subtle of the light in the fore ground (right) to the darkness obscured in the far ground (left) with the iv and figure in the bed and the troop being the lead from one to another.
Thank you for making this.

torashee responds:

Thank you for the wonderful review!
Most of the details were intentional and I am very glad you noticed them!
I have been planning this piece for a month or so before actually drawing it. Really took time to capture it right. One thing I did to make it feel more isolated is the darkness outside the window. It’s my favorite part of the artwork and the thing that makes it most unsettling. (at least to me)
I’m glad you enjoy the painting!
