GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

["Be serious about this"]

"Don't mess it up for everbody, greyhound don't float on water." (OutKast - Hey Ya! music video manager.)
They certainly clean up quite nicely!
I really like how well you maintained key aspects of the character (not a boob joke) and made good use of their accessories.
Also the hair is really nice, and I almost feel you could use the under cut counter to the others ponytail for a nice framing device.
You seem to have a nice sense of cling and hold of cloth but if I hade on challenge for you I would possibly recommend spending some time texture and textile references to add that little extra pop to your quite proficient repertorie.
Thank you for making this.

[Necromancer goblin]

"
Necro-Censer
Magical Item
(necromancy/illusion)
When a Necro-Censer is stoked with fungi from the forms of the undead it creates and illusion to all that do not properly resist it that visually apparent undead are still living and convinces the witness that they pose no threat so effectively they will defend the undead from other living who where not caught in the illusion.
Most Necro-Censer where purged from the long ago because of there effectiveness in allowing single necromancers to effectively take settlements and hamlets.
Because the method of manufacture is long lost, it is an item that has many contracts of destruction posted, and possibly a greater number of contracts of acquisition hidden away.

But seriously great work, I absolutely adore your style.
Thank you for making this.

"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.

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.
