GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Goomba (Commission)]

An interesting take on the "little thug."
I wounder if the "Huge Hoodie" is the promiscuous mystery garment for this generation, vs the "gray trench/rain coat".
The bandage on top of hoodie is a cute touch as well, but the "party affiliate armband" makes it all bit dark.
Thank you for making this.

Thank you!. it's an interesting analysis.

XJ-9!
I really like the way this plats with blending hard edges in the back ground, the organic clouds in the mid, and the warm pixels in the fore ground.
The difference in the perspective pallets also really allows Jenny to pop(!) in a very eye catching way.
I like the circuit lines, and the plasmic after glow of the boot thrusters is impressive.
Those kind of details are really warm, and show a lot of skill.
Thank you for making this.

[The Magnificent Mindables]

"The cutting wit of a sharp mind."
I really like the design. It reminds we of a slightly more manna punk Johann Kraus.
Since they have no eyes, I feel like they might not know what color the mandibles are, and that might actually be a really interesting conversation.
"Why are they pink?" They ask Mindables, and can only respond "What is pink?"
In summation, fun, and very neat design!
Thank you for making this.

"If you go into the woods today, your in for a big surprise....."
I think you really made something distinctly unsettling.
It actually reminds me on the tiger masks that people wear on the back of their heads so that those big cats are less likely to creep up on them.
Thank you for making this.

xnonameartx responds:

Ooo cool! :D
I feel like some group of people in the woods wearing those masks could make a cool drawing. Kinda want to draw that. XD
And thank you for liking it! :)

Still need to play the game, but I do enjoy Chibi Reedus and Chibi Del Toro,
Overall it's nicely stylized, the color choices play off each other dynamically, and this is super fun.
Thank you for making this.

I actually like how bright this is.
I do like the color gradients on the fins and fronds, and that's a very cute dress.
The hair is also very luscious, and I think the "Bit-torrent" of water background is a very nice touch when you could have easily left it blank.
Also four fingers are not only easily to animate, but I feel nicely matches the Demi-human feel.
I think the if any slight thought is perhaps some of jewellery styled after pink corral, or Garfish bones (naturally green, used in IRL jewelry.)
Thank you for making this.

[Ice Cream Cone Meme]

I was a bit confused, but then deeply amused.
You made something quite funny.
The blue hair is quite striking in how it clashes with the rest of the color scheme, but honestly I feel it works quite nicely in giving a visual variety.
Thank you for making this.

[fairy/forest]

This makes some fun use of the glossy feather/oil refracting on water glimmer effect.
I also appreciate the inhuman quality of the eyes, adding nicely to the ethereal sparkle.
Thank you for making this.

Thanks for commenting, it has a lot of value for me. Thank you

[Kai]

Super dynamic!
I really like the texture you got on the clothing, and I am genuely impressed by how much use you got out of contrasting shades of blue.
Thank you for making this.

9Hammer responds:

Thank you thank you! Personally, love working with blues. It's a nice, calming color.

[P-Bot Picollage2020]

A very smooth P-Bot, with some very solid Felix Colgrave vibes.
I really like the organic curves of the foreground, transitioned through the mechanical smoothness of P-Bot, and the the stark lines of cityscape.
The color work is also very attentive, and bold.
Thank you for making this.
