GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Darwin Watterson Superiority]

what a good bean.
your style works really well with those big ol eyes.
Thank you for making this.

[Hellooo!]

Oh hi.
very cool, nice to see some spoopy Yule tide goodness.
For clarification are the eyes in the caller or ethereally placed in the hair?
originally i thought they where hidden in some sort of ear flaps or pompoms attached to the hat, but I notice the distinct separate pompom.
Nice color pallet too, makes it quite surreal.
Thank you for making this.

Thaaaaank youuu

[NOW LOADING ... SPLATTERBRAIN]

Very cool.
It would honestly be quite cool to use a contrail as loading bar, but I am unsure if that was your intent.
In any case it's lovely how bight and has a nice sense of epice beginings.
Thank you for making this.

[Sofa]

The ruler of sofas, the SoFa King!
Also when it dies you can skin it for an new leather sofa, so kind of a mix of taxidermy and joinery.
You have certainly brought a spicy bit of body horror to the table, and oddly enough the fusion of lounger and furnishing reminds me of Futurama's Hedonismbot.

Well to save my self from continuing to look at this lovely bit of nightmare fuel I will simply say;
Thank you for making this.

[Loneliness]

Hmmm, at times like this I try to not say I understand, because I ultimately don't know what your past, present and future may hold, but instead I will simply say, I hear you, I see you, and I wish the best for you.
I think it's important to express those deep feelings so personal we can't even find words for them, but know their touch on moments of our life and I think that is a huge part of why art exists.
I appreciate your art, and that you are working through your feelings and, as always;
Thank you for making this.

adorable.
It's a very cure moment you have captured here.
Thank you for making this.

Hmmm, very cute.

Lovely contrast of red/yellow with blue/green, and I think you hit just the right frame rate for this style of momentary cuteness.
In an ideal world I think you could have had alot of fun playing with shadows shifting from the leaves bearing and loosing weight. and then the mushroom figure forming and coming forth, but again lovely work as a whole.
Thank you for making this.

["Grafficide" - Graffiti Styled Drawing]

You know I find this piece very interesting.
I kind of automatically presumed it was a self portrait, and I can't really explain why.
Perhaps it's because the figure seems so focused and removed while surrounded by swirling colors and creativity, and that's often how I hear some artists describe themselves, removed from their creation.
In any case, the dripping dark figure seems to be clad in black and framed by color, but it's important to see the image as a whole, and the figure and the frame are both part and parcel.
Thank you for making this.

Thank you so much for your beautiful analysis of the artwork, i really appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it :D I always leave the art for free interpretation without giving it an exact clear definition, but yours is definetly close to my vision, again thank you for the kind words

[Wardrobe thief]

"Conceptual Cosplay Design using OC as model" - and it is certainly it's up to your preference if you consider cosplay fanart or not.
You did a very nice job with this and I deeply appreciate the effort you put into rendering the outfit so accurately, but with your own flare.
Also heck yeah on the amazing contrast you have going, especially since many people say red and green is visually off putting as it renders into brow as a combination, but you leaned into that and where able to render and nice Grecian Copper on the figure.
There is a lot more about this that makes me happy but I will leave it at that.
Thank you for making this.

you know, this managed to invade my mind with recorder music.....damn hot cross buns.
Very fun use of rusty red accented by blue and toxic green accented by blue.
Also the roundness of the figures cheeks help make an interesting arch effect across the center of the piece.
I also like the fact that the wizard hat has some pretzel/loaf of bread color patterns.
Since it's an older piece I will leave it a that.
Thank you for making this.
