GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Katawa Shoujo: Rise of Kenji GIFs (2012)]

These are incredibly intense.
Th characters seem dead set on violence and destruction and it's pretty intense.
You seem to have a great sense of how to use background motion to carry foreground animation.
Thank you for making this.

[Girl.]

Reminds me of "storm" of the X-men, but maybe more specialized in winter weather.
You made some really interesting choices balancing the colors. Like her eyes are huge, but they balance the hair, and her skin tone gradient matches her iris and the background in a very pleasing way. The blue lipstick corresponding to the turtle neck is on point as well.
The texture you achieved in the hair is impressive as well, especially because it's blends in but has alot of hidden detail.
Thank you for making this.

[Mantis.]

You did well in reassigning the visual characteristics of a mantis to a humanoid.
The Hollow Knight Rendition is an interesting version to look at if you have ever encountered the humanoid versions in that game.
The fishnet aesthetic is an interesting choice in the sense that Mantis are so aggressive they to trap hunt, but maybe her people have a trade deal with the spider people.
Over all I think she's well designed and I like the cloth's green tone being that distinct from her skin tone.
Thank you for making this.

[Oswald Doodles.]

Hah!
That is certainly a call back.
I am kinda surprised WB has never done a modern remake of this, or has he possibly fallen into public domain?
In any case it's interesting to see this proro-Mickey Mouse.
Thank you for making this.

[Riri 'Greenheart' Cruz]

It's interesting, as I feel evening trying to mesh Hal's and Tony's personalities is mentally hard for me.
John Stewart is actually and structural engineer, and it's been commented that all of his constructs have the interior strength of a fully designed object.
But, more so, Hal's very staunchly conservative in many ways, and I know that Tony started the first Marvel Civil War with the latest rendition of the Super Human Registration Act (in the comics), which was obviously an goverment overreach, but I still think Tony's at his core and individualist, where Hal is more of a collectivist.

At this point, I must admit to being a Kyle Ryaner fan, and that I have had trouble enjoying GL comics since Hal came back so I am ignorant of Cruz, and I stepped away from comics shortly before Riri became a character, but on terms of overall design I really think you did well melding an "iron suit" and the GL color scheme.

I think an MCU style in Helmet shot showing a green tactical display would be a very cool follow up for this character.
Thank you for making this.

GreyForrester responds:

Thank you, this is possibly the best feedback I've recieved, so far. I can't take full credit for this image, I commissioned another to draw it.

As for Hal Stark's personality; it, like any other Amalgam would have to be able to drift from one component's character to the other(s).

[Billboard Brunch]

Really great use of contrast and hard angles.
IT's interesting seeing a group stand out naturally like this.
I mean that you made the environment really different then the group, and considering they are very much so trespassing it visually explains a good depth about them.
I even had fun looking into some of the add details in the back!
Thank you for making this.

TwoSipsofBleach responds:

Thanks! i was worried at first that they would blend in with the background, but i'm glad it reads well

[ROTTMNT]

Cool!
It's interesting to think that in the orginal comics the turtles would often just murder people, but I honestly like what they have become over the years.
I think 4 male characters who deeply care and support each other is a good thing to have as a background constant in pop culture.
IDW, a smaller US comic company, is actually doing some gritty TMNT comics, which are occasionally really interesting to look at to just see the stark contrast.
I guess we could also label the turtles as the US's Power Rangers/Super Sentai, as every couple years a fun new version of them.

In case it's fun group shot that really feels true to that Character's personalties and how relaxed they are with each other.
Thank you for making this.

MimiScappini responds:

The comics are so dark but the shows so funny and light (some of them at least)

Thank you!

[Skull hat.]

Sam is a good name!
I think every good caster is defined by their relationship, especially to any kind of familiar or bound object, and Pumpkin and Sam seem really in sync (literally as in animation/expression figuratively as in emotion, a real two for one, or one as two, heh.)
Thanks for making this, and I hope to continue to see great work from you.

[diveritas]

Some really cool imagery.
Alot of the US military's tactical forces actually have a basis in Native American/American Indian scouting techniques, (in no small part because of their experience in co-opting and fighting them unfairly), so a lot of stealth observation and spycraft goes back to that tradition.
The image being visually unbalanced makes it eye catching, and you focused on some core details, like aspects of the clothing and feathers and fur on the animals that give an engaging "POP!"
I think making an easily accessible wall paper was very nice of you as well.
Thank you for making this.

[Pumpkin Doodles]

Man, you gotta love that rubber house style.
I love the fact that Pumpkin feels like Dexter and Didi's pagan cousin form the long and lanky form combined with the gloves.
Does the skull on pumpkin's hat have a name?
I feel with the pointing shape of the hat it looks like a pumpkin seed, so perhaps it name is "sid."
Let us know if the hat has a name already?
I like the demon snarl face you have on the second image, it's extremely emotive.
It feels like pumpkin swooped in to snarl, and it makes me wonder about transformative/floating abilities.
Thank you for making this.

MimiScappini responds:

I looooove rubber hose!!!
I actually got Dexter's gloves for reference in her original design and that she looks like DeeDee too is a bonus(?

I actually have a name for the little skull! I made a draw of that a year ago gonna post it rn.

I was just playing with emotions and she was my ginea-pig(?

Thank YOU for your comments!
