GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sailor Moon]

This Usagi is nicely on point for the character.
As a character, she could always cast a good amount of shade, even with just a dirt look.
Not that an occasionally bad attitude eclipsed her character, just was a very human part of it.
Thanks for making this.

[2-in-1]

Nice and wavy.
I really feel like this has a really nice feel of depth, or maybe just "rounded flow," and it's a well layered visual composition.
The hair and poise of the character are also super on point.
Thanks for making this.

[Monster Hunter]

I really love the shadow work!
Your use of passive elements like reflection, wind and, shadow really make this stand out.
The proportion are kinda intense, but I kinda just figured this was a Fantasy based Female Dwarf, but perhaps I a wrong?
In any case it's very cool, and super dynamic.
Thank you for making this.

BoxOfWant responds:

Not a Dwarf, but the reference i was given for the character (in-game screenshots and some art) showed an extremely muscular woman, like beyond even what the biggest body builder would achieve with a bucket of steroids, so on the fantasy part, you are correct. ;P
After all, to swing around a piece of steel of that size, you probably need quite a bit of body mass to begin with.

[🐰 Bunny Bulma]

It's nice seeing the change in your style/sensibilities.
It's nice to have that kind of perspective on someone's work.
I think both styles have their merits, and it's all cute.
Thank for making this.

[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.

GRIS9 responds:

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.

jouste responds:

appreciate your long comment! Yeah I LOVE Johann Kraus. thanks so much for the high score and you're welcome!

"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! :)

[death stranding]

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.
