GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Octobit Day4: Translucent]

hmmmm.
Some nice howl's moving castle vibes within this wonderous light show.
Very impressive cloth work in this low a rez.
I suppose the only aspect I could improve this might be some ripples passing through her refection, but that is more of a gilding the lily suggestion then criticism of your work.
Thank you for making this.

[Ptriple-Dactyl]

A "tri-ptero-tops" I suppose?
Reminds me of the chaos of dial H for hero's chaotic power set.
Also solid choice on the stretchy purple hulk pants.
Thank you for making this.

jouste responds:

I had an old issue of dial H for Hero. I remember it being so strange but yeah the watch devices were there. thanks for the kind words and comment!

[Minecraft x Animal Crossing]

I could certainly see these two being friends, and olamar as well, but I raise the premise of a 3 way "Dinkleberg!"-ian rivalary between them is amzing comedic fodder.
I also like the almost cell sided look of this piece, and the visual fanfare is aound the house is quite appealing.
Thank you for making this.

hmmmm.
Is this a Ctrl-C Crtl-V reference with the title and the figure's reflection being a fundamental part of the piece, her visage copy and pasted per say.
Your titles seem to always have a clever aspect to them, so the copy/paste is my best bet on this on.
I really enjoy your expression with light and shadow in this one, especially in the way you use the reflection brightness, and visually balance it with the pc, giving an strong inside/outside contrast vibe.
Thank you for making this.

"Am I a joke to you?"
"Well you are a clown."
".....We will see who is a clown!"
- "Finding Revenge" Pixar 20XX
Suitably spooky!
I love the ethereal reach of the gray sea anemone, especially how you rendered it such a sooty fashion.
I also love the back story, it adds alot, without distracting.
Thank you for making this.

DanFromBavaria responds:

Thanks! Also "Finding Revenge", lmao!

[Octobit Day 1 - Your Archenemy]

I have faith in you.
Thank you for making this.

[Lucifer Goat]

Hah!
This reminds me of a song;

thank you for making this.

Very cool!
I really like the loose bleed of pastel paint colors on that stark white background.
It's over all quite a striking full portrait, and makes me think of a final fantasy ghost in the shell mash up.
It also remind s of this Manga I have started to read rectenly and suspect you might enjoy, called Shirayuri Wa Ake Ni Somaranai.
From what I can tell it loosely based on the Russian Special Air Force unit from World War 2, know as:
"The Night Witches"
Dramatic, but they ran a lot of night time bombing runs, and where a revered unit.
In any case, I am looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you for making this.

[Mita & Rob]

"Whoa this is coool~" -Me, out loud, when I first saw this full piece.
It's interesting because sometimes a really development and design sketch impresses me way more than a fully painted canvas.
Maybe it's because it more raw and unguarded intentions of the artists, or it's just the innate eagerness of look forward to the possibility of eventually polished and perfected piece, fleshing out the bones.
I am very impressed by how readily you conveyed both of their personalities, but also how clever you where in contrasting them in height, pigment, experience and gear.
With that said, you can also see how they compliment each other as part of a team, and giving them both different equipment hewn from the same chitinous armor is subtle marking of alliance.
Thank you for making this.

TheTenk responds:

Thank you for the thorough response!

[Phosphophyllite]

"Keep Your Hands Off Lustrous"
The dramatic pose and nicely busy background give this a very similar vibe to the opening of "
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken", which is a series I heartily recommend, but try not to watch it all in one day.
A final note on the background, was it intentional to have it resemble fletching?
I know Phosphophyllite and her fellows often have arrows sent there way, so it's a bit menacing in that sense.
Thank you for making this.

SkyHawkins responds:

Thanks for your review!
I watched Eizouken while it was airing, in fact. The opening definitely served as inspiration.
And as for the background, the arrow pattern was intentional. Good eye!
