GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Luca]

So, I must admit I am of two minds on this drawing.
I like it alot, and the chareterization is very strong.
Like the pose, the hair color and cut, and even the facial expersion is all very dynamic and sassy.
Also the gemstones and ecletic armors really remind me in a fond way of CLAMP's MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH.
My trepidation comes from the "absolute territory" or the very odd name for the space of exposed thigh between leggings and bottoms.
She seems like a sassy enough character to enjoy falunting in that way, but in a pratical magic user/armor sense, there is 0% reason to ever have exposed skin, unless it's part of a ritual practice.
Fantasy art across the world since the 60's certain has a history of use "sex sells" and "Chainmail bikini's" and a person exposing their body in way they are comfortable with is totally cool form of self expression, but in terms of partical use, this ain't Magical-OSHA safe.
You did a great job, and I admit to fighting my own ghosts on this issue, but I try to almost see the worst result so that I might be able to prevent it, I guess you have made a compelling effectively enough that I am worried about them getting hurt.
Sorry for blathering on like that, and, really, thank you for making this.

Thundragon responds:

Hi, thank you for the review! Honestly a lot of the inspiration came from Yu Gi Oh charactera and cards but I still remember Rayearth fondly.

Honestly the exposed thighs serve no pracical purpose, a lot of times my design process aims for what looks hotter, but in retrospect extending her suit to cover it all would have been a better idea aesthetically speaking.

Thank you for making this.

Keun-E responds:

So, this actually pretty close to how she actually dressed in the manga/show, but it's still a little too thicc for the original design.
The meat chart in the background was a clever choice.
Thank you for making this.

XPISigmaArt responds:

Thank you!

And yes, I wasn't going to draw her as a twig.

[Bubz Art Class]

Just some monsters having some fun!
I really love slice of life set in alternative planes, worlds or histories, and this made me happy.
There mother/son relationship seem very cute.
Thank you for making this!

[Misfit Doctor]

Man, what turned up image.
I get the feeling this is from mario RPG just pevause of the strong Square/nintendo look.
But you have made it so intense, from the kirby crackle to the looming hand gives a great sense of dread.
Thank you for making this.

[Zahira]

I like your work with the color grading, and you definitely made some good choices with shading.
You could push muscle tone of the face a little more, maybe using some of the color grading tech you used for the "hair beard" to show more of the shape of the face.
Just keep rolling and thank you for making this.

ImaginationGone responds:

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

For such a weird movie the make up and concept design crew did a great job, and you obviously had alot of fun picking up where they left off.
They used green in a very cool way for her, and you really stuck with that, and used some interesting iconographic posing that really reminds me of some the ancient Hindu art I have see in the past.
Also for her as manipulator/illusionist, you really played with the mist/light effects well around her and on her form.
Thank you for making this.
