GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jackie]

Jackie the yellojacket?
Nice.
There is an interesting optical illusion that occurs because of her thorax, where in it looks like it's her other thigh and that she is extremely thicc with a wasp waist ( a term from extreme corsette users ).
I think once that on closer look the illusion passes and I will say you rendered the figure quite well.
You can't really see musculature through chitton, but perhaps a 2nd set of arms lifting small weight or something would be my ideal cherry on top for this.
Thank you for making this.

[What The Fuck]

"A tale as old as time, a question on my mind, beauty and the beef"
( Beef here more referring to argument or also "where's the beef?" Ad campaign which also a lingering question)
I have no answers, but I really enjoy the minty and pastel greens you are rocking here.
I real like teal as the out line element and nice use of balancing a white in frame against the figures darker markings.
Thank you for making this.

[Mario Palettes]

A cleansing juxtaposition, indeed.
The webcomic, awkward zombie has a good strip where the ssb roster jokes that link will never be updated, and then his new form comes and eats him, or his old form subsumes the new(?), And this line up reminded me a bit of that.
I personally like to think nintendo, and Miyamoto, have over the years always had an idea what the 8-bit is meant to be, and the progression of technology is like a whittling knife and the pressures of customers and the markets and artistic rendering have slowly allowed a fine more steady refinement of the characters we know and love.
It's not quite new, not quite old, but a living nostalgia.
Thank you for making this.

[It’s-a-me!]

May your worries wash away,
May new skill and ability grow forth from the old,
May you blossom to inspiration's sunny grace,
May your resolve be faceted and fast,
May the twinkle of your heart guide you,
All so that you may have a 2021 to remember.
Thank you for making this.

[Grandmother was sick with the flu]

I guess she kafka'ed up a lung, a shame.
Nice antenna work, suitably uncomfortable.
Thank you for making this.

[Bangs Outfit Challenge]

Very nice!
Also, as a thought because I did think about it despite your request, I think that outfit does not need to break physics.
Basically each arm could have bangles that the selves velcro to:

or maybe they could have collapsible tubing like a bendy staw, but less noisy more cosy kinda material.
In any case, great work with all the blues in this pallet, and impressive execution of physical confidence when I can't even see their eyes.
Thank you for making this.

Yesss, very nicely thought of~

[Painting/Shading practice.]

nice shadow work!
As a taller individual who has occasionally been used for shade this piece has an oddly familiar vibe.
nice choice on the large red coat, as you where able to use it well for framing and for color contrast, but also a nice contextual element that makes the tone of the piece more inmate.
You clearly put some love into that hair, but also made good use of bedhead dynamic so that you could let it be a bit more wild.
My favorite part is how the eyes catching that small bit of light has an interesting air of "coming to the surface", and I appreciate the delicacy of how you made it clear there is a bosom on the figure, but it's not the point of the piece.
but dang she mad tho.
Thank you for making this.

LilCelly responds:

Thank you so much! And yeah, i'll take your cnc!

[Restoration]

Strong piece!
Yeah I am fan of the latest instalment too.
I think it's smart that it was named future for the fact that it really felt like mystery ben had found the confidence to tell the story they wanted to, and that their is more to come.
As for you, great detail work and nice highlighting, I would be more detailed but you seem to note that is was an older favorite of your, and I can see why.
Thank you for making this.

Unposture-mov responds:

Oh my goodness thank you aaaa 💕💕😭😭... every new animation they make is just so good with the music i swear... crispy storyline.

[GIGAVOLTION]

This is pretty neat!
It's stylistically wedged between ben 10 series 1 and Batman Beyond.
In batman beyond's case there is more than few body horror villains that I could compare this unit to, but I think a match up would be to say Inque coating Golem.
Honestly though pushed past those possible comparisons in how detailed your efforts to flesh out the dynamic physicality so well to make me think a laval lamp finnaly hatched to birth this wrecker.
I would love to see it with more color, or maybe a gif of going through that great pallet of "facial expressions" you wiped up.
Thank you for making this.

[welcome home]

"Oh, that is very cute" -me, right now.
Red can be quite a setaceous color, so it is interesting to see it on something as seemingly benign as an apron.
On a different note, does she have a sense of smell?
Perhaps is her sense of taste just much stronger.
Thank you for making this.
(edit in response to @WeiZMei comment: "wow I just blushed in real life.)

she can smell her husband's love
