GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Peridot]

"oh Wow, that's really cool." me right now, out loud.
I really love how interesting the contrast you rendered between the subtle hard edges and the overall smooth look this makes it all pop.
Also I am very impressed by the color pallet working so effectively to draw the center of attention to peridot.
The little details like the background and the limb enhancers (great work on those) makes it feel just a little more real, and it very impressive to see that two forefinger make the control panel projection, as evident by the missing digits of the left hand.
Thank you for making this.

Weskgon responds:

I'm glad you like it.

[The Dream]

hmmmm, see reminds me of "Despair" of the endless a bit.
https://sandman.fandom.com/wiki/Despair
In any case your use of light and shadow in this piece is very strong, and deeply ominous.
Also i think about 80% of the reason the "scary stories" books did scare me as a child was those pictures, and how gruesome they where.
Thankfully I grew some and have come top appreciate them.
Thank you for making this.

[Evil portrait]

hmmm, interesting monster potential!
Like it could drain years from a character in almost Dorian grey fashion, and if the back side was a mirror that reflected magic back, it could be quite and encounter.
Maybe this fiend more a cursed frame, and it victims become it's portrait?
In any case, clever choice of using the drapery as prehensile limbs, but also making it match the figure in the portrait, which makes also visual good vibes but also give the sense of them reaching out. also conflicting the blur with the stern brassy frame is fine contrast, and quite eye catching.
Thank you for making this.

Gekasso responds:

Thanks! The idea was the ghost is trapped inside the portrait, so the only thing he can do is levitate the portrait and use the curtains as limbs to attack people.
I love to draw monsters concept art in case one day I'll find a way to make my own game.

[And the Snowbeast Award Goes to...]

"and despite all the warm applause, and despite the burning disdain in the eyes of his rivals, and 'Yet-he' still felt cold in side.
I love how busy this is, and how excellent they all look in their penguin suits.
Also, in general I really appreciate the way you use subdued color pallets in your works.
Thank you for making this.

[Drew Horse.]

If you had included a house or stable it would have been drawn and quartered I suppose?
Mostly just wanted to shout out how much i led this darker colored pallet , and that you did well with the blush.
Thank you for making this.

I wonder if this looks gray to people with certain types of colorblindness.
In any case, I appreciate how striking the colors are, even if there are only 3 of them.
Also, that is quite an eye catching way of rending the hand.
It's an odd pose, like an awkward low energy greeting or a bitter sweet goodbye, but it definitely stand like a moment of transition.
Any ways that's enough waxing poetic on my end, nice work.
Thank you for making this.

[Ryuk リューク]

IT'S MY BOY JONNY "FUCK YOUR WHOLE DEAL UP" APPLESEED!
Ryuk is unreasonably one of my favorite parts of deathnote, because in the end he is a being of unknowable time, depth, motivation, and intelligence.
His whole ark is so utterly terrifying and almost lovecraftian when viewed in full.
It's like Nyarlathotep just decided to slum it up for less then what would amount to an old one's lunch break.
Anyways, your rendition of this guy is delightfully unsettling, and has some interesting dear in the headlights/babdook/that time the joker cut his own face off vides.
Also the amount of detail and depth in this plumage is devastatingly tangible, like I could surmise it's texture if I stared to long.
Thank you for making this.

[Ded Bussines]

hmmm, reminds me of the phrase "they fell into a dead sprint"
I don't exactly know what a dead sprint is, but it defeintely echos of something old, and primal, and quite terrible indeed.
I like the little skeleton pals too, the remind me of Mic and Hun from victor and valentino/Aztec faith.
Thank you for making this.

ambre-e responds:

thankyou for taking your time giving it a look really appreciate when some one enjoys it :D you are right i took a bit of inspiration from them :3

[Bigmail]

certainly putting the "lots" in lots of love.
One of the books from the borrowers series had a wonderful idea of using stamps as framed portraits, or at least some related art did.
I really adore how simple this is, it makes me smile.
Thank you for making this.

ZeTrystan responds:

Someone else told be about the framed stamps! I do think it's the wonderful idea. :D

[『 AMONG US vs. FALL GUYS 』Kaiju Poster]

This is fundamentally amazing.
Back in the 90's and 2000's alot of people tried to make comics in this style, and the visuals did not really work that well as consecutive visual art.
This single image works really well in my mind, and plays well on the 3d monster movie trope.
Thinking about it a among us map with more natural elimination, like the traps and pitfalls of fallguys, might add an nice level of chaos in potentially larger player lobbies.
In any case, love this kai-juiced up masterpiece.
Thank you for making this.
