GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Painting Study]

My goodness!
Capturing the level od detail in cloth in pixel art in nuts!
The detail of her hair and her hands, even the blod on the sword is really astounding.
My one, very small point of remark, is that her pupils look cock eyed in part because of their outer placement on both sides, and I might suggest on quarter turn profile like this you might instead have the two darker blues oriented in a more similarly aligned position, unless that was intentional (because she is blind, or what have you.)
Also, damn the shadow work is just insane.
Thank you for making this.

pixelrogueart responds:

Thank you so much for taking time for this review!


The cloth was insanely time consuming, I really need to train that better, so difficult haha. Again, thank you for the review, it meant a lot :).

[At Midnight]

It's nice to know that Luigi can take a chill pill now and then.
I find the idea of bio luminescent pirana plant horrifying, but deafeningly excellent.
Overall you style is so defined and bold, that I am always happy to see you work, and heck this just the big green L reading the news.
Thank you for making this.

[[XEGNOVA] OC Xyna (Battle mode)]

Wow!
This super cool.
I am struggling to even know know to describe this, but 1980s neon stainglass might be pretty close.
All in all, even being unfamiliar with the character, I am blown away with how dynamic your pallet and presentation is.
Thank you for making this.

JAEXERGUN responds:

Thank you so much!!
I really love colors and definitely aim for that 80’s aesthetic in my art.
I’m glad you were able to describe something that not many could about my art

[Merboy and his Butterfly fish friends]

That's adorbs.
It's certainly a solid montone piece, but also it's fun seeing a fantasy type character done in such a direct way.
Over all, it's simple, smooth, and cute.
Also I really enjoy the fact he has a Butterfly fish style tail.
Thank you for making this.

AnneChristi responds:

I'm glad you like it! I was trying a new style and only using the same color pallet was challenging for me.

[Teenage Robot XJ9]

Casual Friday.
It's interesting seeing Jenny in less starch stiff steel dress, and rocking casual cloth attire.
I wasn't sold on the heels at first, but it brings a interesting Valley Girl vibe to the whole ensemble, so it scans.
In terms of border I think I like the black better, because I feel the white being similar to parts of her sassy leaves it seeming like a missed opportunity to more detail.
She certainly looks like she's about to throw some hands, and you captured some real angst nicely.
Thank you for making this.

[Deus Ex - Adam Jensen]

Hmmm!
I really enjoyed the almost religious iconography of what I believe to be a UI HUD element from the game.
It's a clever use of a classical guilded halo motif, and while I know his hair just kinda does that, you rendered in such a may that it catches the light and focus the viewer on the center point in a quite skillful way.
Thank you for making this.

p1xer responds:

He)Thank you
Bright forms kinda my thing:)))And i didn't want to use sharp triangle form main shape, did it with Connor from Detroit

[Blender Donut]

Simple, but I came around to it.
But, honestly, thinking about it, I can't tell what methods you used to create this, and maybe there is a lot more to it then I can tell.
I am certainly impressed by how the donut's shadow transitions on the plate, and I like the oddly textured filter on the image, making it look like on of those classic 3d motion stickers.
I would love to know more about your process, or motivation with this, if you have the time.
Thank you for making this.

[OhManda Hype]

Cute!
It's interesting to see these kind of things in development, as it reminds me that effort and skill where put into thing people might overlook.
Overall I think where able to illustrate alot of energy into such a small image using some fun asymmetrical/systematical contrast, and that is super neat.
Thanks for making this.

[Malina]

The purple in very nice.
The background works very well with the traditional Red/Black/White of Helltaker character design.
I also think Malina is particularly cute when a little flustered, so you certainly rendered a cute expression.
Thank you for making this.

TrickTownsend responds:

Thank you!

[Crippling]

"Wrong Door!"
It almost looks like the figure is look up at some poor should who wandered in.
There is certainly an interesting tension in this moment, a vicarious discomfort.
I also deeply enjoy the little details you breathed in, like the painting on the wall, and decayed floral arrangement.
Even further than that the care you took in decorating the figure himself is night terrify in it detail, as I see the take and give of the fabric, and the polish on the riffle's butt.
Thank you for making this.
