GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pikashoe]

Hah!
I feel like these would build up static really easily on carpet.
In all seriousness this is pretty legit fashion wise, and makes me think of theme outfit, where the shoes are Pichu themed, and the stockings/skirt are Pikachu, and the the top/ hair bad is Raichu, so you could see the full evolution from bottom to top in an outfit.
Also the light blur background really makes the shoe pop, especially with the subtle shading.
Thank you for making this.

PlantPotPerson responds:

And thank you for taking your time to comment! :>

[Lobstradomus]

Nice.
But, man did I just go on a journey.
I thought that a Lobster based holy weapon, in the hands of a seer, might have some interesting properties if lobsters could see in a different wave length then us (Ultra violet, infra red, ect.)
Turn our their entire optical system is fundamentally different then many other forms of life because they work of of reflection, not refraction, and the almost have a weird X-ray vision thing.
I really like this character, and I enjoy that his feeler antenna are opposite his heavy hand and perhaps injured eye stalk, giving the character and nice visual.
Also the mandibles look like a hand, which is delightfully horrifying.
Thank you for making this.

P.S. This article is wild https://science.howstuffworks.com/lobster-x-ray-technology1.htm

jouste responds:

holy crap that is crazy!
I might incorporate something like that into his character. It's really cool, thanks for the lengthy comment and link! Really glad you like the character.

[girls night (animated GIF)]

Sometimes it's neither form, nor function, but indeed, spirit.
And damn does she have spirit.
This is a really fun and cute gif, and I appreciate how much you can get across about the setting and character here withing.
I especially enjoy you using the tv's glare shifting, as that is small but setting detail.
Thank you for making this.

Ennuikal responds:

thank you so much for the review!! I really appriciate it :)

[Painting Study]

My goodness!
Capturing the level od detail in cloth in pixel art in nuts!
The detail of her hair and her hands, even the blod on the sword is really astounding.
My one, very small point of remark, is that her pupils look cock eyed in part because of their outer placement on both sides, and I might suggest on quarter turn profile like this you might instead have the two darker blues oriented in a more similarly aligned position, unless that was intentional (because she is blind, or what have you.)
Also, damn the shadow work is just insane.
Thank you for making this.

pixelrogueart responds:

Thank you so much for taking time for this review!


The cloth was insanely time consuming, I really need to train that better, so difficult haha. Again, thank you for the review, it meant a lot :).

[[XEGNOVA] OC Xyna (Battle mode)]

Wow!
This super cool.
I am struggling to even know know to describe this, but 1980s neon stainglass might be pretty close.
All in all, even being unfamiliar with the character, I am blown away with how dynamic your pallet and presentation is.
Thank you for making this.

JAEXERGUN responds:

Thank you so much!!
I really love colors and definitely aim for that 80’s aesthetic in my art.
I’m glad you were able to describe something that not many could about my art

[Merboy and his Butterfly fish friends]

That's adorbs.
It's certainly a solid montone piece, but also it's fun seeing a fantasy type character done in such a direct way.
Over all, it's simple, smooth, and cute.
Also I really enjoy the fact he has a Butterfly fish style tail.
Thank you for making this.

AnneChristi responds:

I'm glad you like it! I was trying a new style and only using the same color pallet was challenging for me.

[Deus Ex - Adam Jensen]

Hmmm!
I really enjoyed the almost religious iconography of what I believe to be a UI HUD element from the game.
It's a clever use of a classical guilded halo motif, and while I know his hair just kinda does that, you rendered in such a may that it catches the light and focus the viewer on the center point in a quite skillful way.
Thank you for making this.

p1xer responds:

He)Thank you
Bright forms kinda my thing:)))And i didn't want to use sharp triangle form main shape, did it with Connor from Detroit

[Malina]

The purple in very nice.
The background works very well with the traditional Red/Black/White of Helltaker character design.
I also think Malina is particularly cute when a little flustered, so you certainly rendered a cute expression.
Thank you for making this.

TrickTownsend responds:

Thank you!

[Sailor moon mech]

This, is certainly a lot, but not too much.
It great seeing Usagi get some much love in the last little bit, but especially because we get to see some really fun renditions from artist across the spectrum of self expression.
After all, it's not every day you get to see a Sailor Mata Nui.
Thank you for making this.

rafael-bicalho responds:

Hey man thanks a lot for your comment, means a lot and you just pulled Bionicle right out of a deep part of my memory so yeah, I liked Bionicle a lot, thanks.

[See? Gotta keep Truckin']

This quite pleasant.
It got a strong flow to it, and I appreciate the use of musical reference.
Her jacket and boots always make the character design of Aeris strong, but you really showed a fun side of an often bitter sweet character, and I feel your attention to detail was part of that.
Thank you for making this.

TindyFlow responds:

Thanks for sharing your view! ^^
Aeris is one of those characters who force respect and admiration in a gentle but firm way.
The Remake story made a point to showcase her bright and upbeat persona mixed in with the infinitely scary power of women.

I had some time to focus and reflect on her attitude subtleties since I started a FF7 comic some years ago. This drawing is more or less the sum of my experience with her.
