GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Creep]

Interesting.
It looks a little bit like those AI paintings of animals, but with a bit more manufactured intention.
I like the glitch effect for the most part, but I recently read in passing that certain kind of blurry or shaky looking image actually wind up being funny.
Here that might actually provoke a nervous laugh, but it important to remember that the black and white movies filled with rubber monsters and cheap practical effect where scary to people at the time they initially premiered.
Even further back Nosferatu and Belegosi's Dracula which are hard for many to take seriously where compelling works at the time.
In many way I do think humans would be humans without fear, but how and what we fear shifts.
I certainly like this though, and sorry for getting caught in my own musing.
What types of canines did you use? IT looks a bit like Fox/Coyote/Wolf.
Also if are a fan of eyes I recommend checking out the Evil Eye butterfly species, and Eyespot patterns in general.
Thank you for making this

[광복절 (National Liberation Day of Korea)]

Interesting.
I think it's always very enriching for creators to share a personal part of themselves like this.
There are, of course, risks in doing so, of putting one's self out there, and I appreciate your doing so.
I actually studied Tang Soo Do for many years, and it was very helpful for me as well.
May you light always be bright, and your spirit never broken.
Thank you for making this.

[MizzPeachy Banner]

Way to spread the love.
It is always nice seeing a strong collab like this.
Thank you for making this.

[Confronting the Chain Demon]

oh! Nice!
I like the inlaid pupils on the Chain Demon "eye."
It give an strong sense of "unnatural intelligence" , which suits a creature of it's ilk.
Also the implied depth by the chains in the background, especially how you captured the distance by with the links obscuring in detail, was very clever.
Thank you for making this.

[A Quintesson drinking Coca Cola]

Heh.
It would be pretty interesting if every head had a different flavor of coke they liked.
"Well I like Vanilla!"
"Well people with taste prefer Classic!"
"Hecho en mexico, all the way!"
".......I miss New Coke."
In unison "Charlatan!"
Thank you for making this.

[missing eye redux]

A great mane wreathing a greater misery.
I deeply enjoy the contrast you used here, and the mention of it being a pin really makes the density on overlapping locks have quite a tangibility.
It is a terribly intense amalgamation.
Thank you for making this.

[Croc archer]

I like this.
The vaguely Egyptian fashion choice, giving a interesting persona of "servant of Sobek."
Also a crocodile archer seem odd apt in terms of the nature of the two.
A bow can really on be used to send things in one direction in a sudden snap of violence, and that bears similarity to the intense bite strength of a crocodile, accompanied with it's ironically jaw opening muscles.
Some design points of the equipment looking more water resistant might be interesting, but this Croc could be from a purely terrestrial society/species, so no biggie there.
Thank you for making this.

Mancartti responds:

Thank you for your insight. I will be sure to keep it in mind if I touch on this concept more.

[NEUTRA]

Hmmm! Interesting pose.
I really like how you layered the colors, and used some very striking juxtaposition to make the image pop.
Also the bold white on gray back ground is a clean look that I wouldn't normally expect.
As a final note, I like the little Tamagotchi style snake game on their hip.
Thank you for making this.

CezRamirez responds:

thank you!! i tried to pixelize six impalas´ logo for the tamagotchi´s screen but it didnt quite work out haha

[[ILLUSTRATION] Bluesona Swimsuit [OC]]

You seemed to have a lot of fun playing around with light in this one!
Like the water reflecting on the submerged leg is such a subtle but strong detail.
You also managed to add a strong sense of motion, for something I presume was taken from a still reference, using the turbulence of the water and drops in the air.
In general there is some strong and playful use of liquid and light here!
(I just hope those are beach shoes or else that is a soggy pair of sneakers.)
Thank you for making this.

[Teen Titans!]

Ah! Chibi-Ai Lobo is just too much.
I like your take on the other characters as well, but I must say I am not familiar with all of them.
It certainly looks like Damian, and I believe that is probably Arsenal?
I had seen the new Kid Flash, and I was a fan, but if the that is Raven's new outfit, it is quite interesting ( could also be Jinx I suppose?)
The Blondie in the back looks like a Kirby-esqu New Gods type character, but I admit ignorance of them.
It's all very nice.
Thank you for making this.
