GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slondernmin Pt. 3]

"problematic fave"
Great work with the darker shades in the pallet, and the shadow work is top notch.
Thanks you for making this

Shenanigansen responds:

thank you! i like color and this is a really sweet comment

Hmmmm.
I really like how this a companion piece to "gate", being of similar POV and subject, but I like how far you pushed the pallet in this one.
It's a moment, in it's blush of violets and pinks, that feels possible, but also is innately alien.
The low angle kinda gives it a child like view, of having to look up.
Oh and I love the triangle berries/blossoms, they have a constellation like quality, helping to give the whole piece a nebula like notion.
Thank you for making this.

[Weird Starscream!]

This series is like the rob leifield of robits.
That is not to say bad, just svelt transformers just reminds me of the way Leifield choose certain anatomy to focus on, and these do that but in a different spectrum.
They are certainly fun, and I like how they minimalize and essentialize what a transformer needs to look like a transformer in a way that is clever, and makes me laugh.
Thank you for making this.

MoonieLoonie responds:

^-^ Thank you!

[Headpants]

I'm not sure why but when I see this I think to myself punk rock Link.
That's a really cool work method using the whiteboard like that, and I super appreciate the amazingly dark palette in the colored in piece, and the quality of shading you put in in both versions.
Thank you for making this.

gonzobrain responds:

Thanks, you're so kind. Hatching in the whiteboard is a lot of fun, hands down the best part of the process :)

[Conductor Topaz (Halloween 2022)]

Nice.
I like the halloween energy of the backgound, and The costume having signs of patching and tears works well with the heavy duty job/thiccness aesthetic.
It's a cure costume, and a fun pose, and it kinda reminded me of;

Thank you for making this.

[The Most Powerful Wizard]

heh
I mean this very mundane use of a power, but he could set a very effective waste disposal company, and you might not thing that is very intimidating, but they would be dependent on him to do it as they would have no other infrastructure and the NYC Mob did similar things because if things didn't go there way, they would stop collecting garbage, as they ran the garbage routes for many years until the city took it over to avoid such issues.
Anyway I like the menacing use of purple in this one.
Thank you for making this.

[Starlight]

Nice!
I appreciate the pallet work in have the background's teal being darker then her hair's and the inner frame's teal being an even lighter teal, it very sleek.
Your composition is also very funny and suitably cartoony with how she pops up into frame from bellow, and surpasses the top of the frame, and I just like how off kilter the inner frame is in general.
Thank you for making this.

[Big girl]

This is really cute!
Is she kinda Sailor Jupiter from "Sailor Moon" in the sense she has similar proportions to Frye and Shiver, but is just a like a Head and a half taller?
I also really appreciate the green accents, and how awesome the outfit and headgear is!
Your back ground is also really cool, giving a very dynamic sense of motions, and the sharp design conflicting with the slosh of the ink just conveys "chaos" quite nicely.
Thank you for making this.

SAMI-OURS responds:

Maybe it's similar to the position. A bigger position! I put in the green accent because the Ink color of Big Man shown in Hero mode is green. I'm glad that it looks good on you! I considered many factors when I drew the background, but I think it was reflected well. Thank you for liking it!

[Flat Toothless Friday]

heh.
I like the fact that the "H2TYD" design team, to this day, has an internal debate about if toothless was inspired by a cat or a dog.
The pastel yellow works quite well as a backdrop for the tuckered out nightfury, and the touches of shadow do some real work to make them pop.
Have a good Friday, and thank you for making this.

[the becca]

hmmm!
I like the CRT filter, it works very well thematically.
The pose is also kinda wild, it's a neat forced perspective, and I kinda chuckle at the thought she is on an invisible couch/choosing to fly in that position.
Thank you for making this.
