GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cyberspring (2016)]

As a GITS and Gunnum fan this kinda art is a large red bliking weak spot for me.
You really captured a sense of how big the world is and how small the person's part in it is.
The little flower reminds me of a cyber punk future version of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Where natural wood was so rare that staking vampires was just much harder.
I like how you played with light and shadow, and you did well with the cybernetics not bleeding into uncanny valley.
Thank you for making this.

rtil responds:

thank you! definitely big inspirations for me, too.

[horror games]

Adorable!
Mimic's are such a betrayal.
I actually have an old steamer chest I call "MiMi the mimic."
I think you balanced the colors very nicely, and the muted gray suits a "game cave" feel.
Thank you for making this.

[Chocobo]

Ah!
The humble Chocobo.
You did a great job blending a classic "bit" look with a more modern shading scheme.
I have seen there wings presented in a few different ways, but i I think vestigial, or "rubber ducky" look was a solid choice.
Thank you for making this.

RudyF93 responds:

Thank you! I almost forgot the wings actually haha

[Pharah]

Hah!
Designer brand Pharah is a very cool image, very strong too.
I think you made some very cool choices in terms of what to express about the character's own body, and their relationship with the suit. I also think the blue background with the logo was a super cool choice with the fact it makes it a very Pharah image.
The missiles are also a nice touch, and blurring them to imply motion was a smart idea.
Thank you for making this.

GRIS9 responds:

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked the design!

[Just an innocent child with an innocent flower]

I actually think you did quite well.
I really like how you handled the shading and the transition in tone of color.
In terms of the face, this might seem like an odd point, but facial structure actually ages quite distinctly, while you do have some of the fullness of the face (AKA: Baby Fat) your cheek structure actually looks more adult.
Nothing wrong with that, as some kids just look like this, but I thought you might find that information valuable.
Human faces continue to grow structurally until about the the mid twenties, and There are several interesting things that happen to the skull over time.
(IE the skull fusing, and the baby teeth falling out)
Some people's face can actually have a very dramatic change from early childhood, in not small part due to puberty.
Sorry for rambling, I just really like what you did with this, and wanted to let you know how to change it a little.
The eyes are truly haunting though.
Thank you for making this.

xratedvision responds:

Thank you very much!
Heh, it's pretty obvious I have no skill at drawing children ( difficult! ). Hope to improve one day. You're advice will certainly help in the future. :D

[Art vs Artist]

You seem to like to play with some very interesting ideas.
I wonder If you Rubyx character face would change if they had mixed emotions, or if the mix of emotions of the back of their head was their subconscious.
This a cool way to see you and your work.
Thanks for making this.

bouquet-of-thorns responds:

Thank you for your comment! Yep when Rubyx is conflicted, the face would continuously change until something happens to finalize a mood. Or if Rubyx is experiencing mixed emotions, a certain few colors will show up together to show some sort of confliction. I've been meaning to do pieces that display this, but I am worried no one will enjoy it

[Goin' Ghost]

What modesty do we afford the dead? (heh)
This is a very cool character, and I can't tell if it's an OC or not, it looks like it might be.
It well designed and it's delightfully expressive for how minimal it is.
The skull, the glowing pupils, the ecto-plasmic-freckles. are very well composed.
The obviously work well on a dark background, I am kinda curious how they would present with a more purple shaded environment.
Green is a very strong color, and it's important to compliment it well.
Thank you for making this.

[[OC] Gross Yet Grosser]

It's a solid piece of occult body horror.
The slime certainly pushes it in some interesting directions especially with how it seems inherent.
The eyes are also suitably autonomous.
Thank you for making this.

ArtHungryDemon responds:

Occult body horror... that's just the word I was lost on!
Thank you for that and I also take it as a big compliment as someone who is in to the occult :'>
Also thank YOU for thanking ME lol

[Parasoul]

So, obviously it's sexy.
You used an interesting light level similar to early morning twilight.
That casting of light really reminds me of early morning snuggles.
The visual message get's a bit confusing as she seems to be an nun asasin, and her pose looks very odd, but it's suitable for cheesecake.
The slight red in the pupil is really eye catching, but her expression is a little confusingly stuck between indifference and arousal.
It's totlaly fair to make something sexy for the sake of sexy, my own brain just get's focused on how IRL person would have to stand to strike such a pose.
Thank you for making this.

[blue haired girl]

This glows with a potent sadness.
I really like how you kept the color focus so distinct, while bleeding within your lines.
Thank you for making this.
