GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[meggo]

Distinctly warm, bright, and eye catching.
It's a simple head shot, but there nice sense of stature and motion from the viewpoint, abd tge figure's poise.
Also the hair is alive and vibrant, and the shade lies nicely.
Thank you for making this.

roomidee responds:

ily 😔👊 thank you. I really appreciate this <3

[Evening Stroll]

There is alot of personality in little moment.
I like how sketchy patterns are, as it adds interesting wood block press character to it.
You also have clearly put alot of attention into architecture and even the flagstones a great dept to them.
I wonder a bit about the horned figure, and why they might be barefoot and such.
Thank you for making this.

Steffs responds:

Thank you very much for your kind words.
It's nice that you enjoy my style, it took me a while to get to it. It did take some time to detail all the flagstones and the architecture, but I think it's worth it for the grand picture.
The character being barefoot is pretty much a stylistic choice of the creator, it does add a little to the mystique tho.

[Transformers Comic Cover 2.0]

Rad!
I think this is really distinct, and it's always nice seeing Soundwave get some love.
The attention to detail is really lovely, and you really made the characters seem quite dynamic in a
"pose like a team cause SHIT JUST GOT REAL!"
way.
Thank you for making this.

J-Caro responds:

Soundwave always deserves more love :D
Really glad you like it! Thanks!

[Superman on the dark seid]

This is nicely styled.
As Superman was to some extent based on Nietzsche's Idea of an Übermensch, I actually think in this dark rendition his symbol could be related to "Alpha", to nice complement the "Omega" on Darkseid.
In any case, I don't find a dark take on Kal-El to be super compelling outside of Elsweworld stories, but you really caught an supremely imposing tone here.
Thank you for making this.

devilhs responds:

Thanks

[Encouragement]

This simple, but really endearing.
I believe I was once told those dolls are wishing charms, and that you pain one eye when the wish is made, and you paint the other when it's granted, and I might be inferring too much here but in this case together they can offer the encouragement for their wishes to met?
In any case, it's a very intimate and heart warming piece.
Thank you for making this.

Joifish responds:

They also symbolize setting personal goals. They make good gifts for people who need encouragement. I think everyone needs some encouragement sometimes, and that's why it's important for people to encourage one another.

[Monster Hunter]

I really love the shadow work!
Your use of passive elements like reflection, wind and, shadow really make this stand out.
The proportion are kinda intense, but I kinda just figured this was a Fantasy based Female Dwarf, but perhaps I a wrong?
In any case it's very cool, and super dynamic.
Thank you for making this.

BoxOfWant responds:

Not a Dwarf, but the reference i was given for the character (in-game screenshots and some art) showed an extremely muscular woman, like beyond even what the biggest body builder would achieve with a bucket of steroids, so on the fantasy part, you are correct. ;P
After all, to swing around a piece of steel of that size, you probably need quite a bit of body mass to begin with.

[Goomba (Commission)]

An interesting take on the "little thug."
I wounder if the "Huge Hoodie" is the promiscuous mystery garment for this generation, vs the "gray trench/rain coat".
The bandage on top of hoodie is a cute touch as well, but the "party affiliate armband" makes it all bit dark.
Thank you for making this.

GRIS9 responds:

Thank you!. it's an interesting analysis.

[The Magnificent Mindables]

"The cutting wit of a sharp mind."
I really like the design. It reminds we of a slightly more manna punk Johann Kraus.
Since they have no eyes, I feel like they might not know what color the mandibles are, and that might actually be a really interesting conversation.
"Why are they pink?" They ask Mindables, and can only respond "What is pink?"
In summation, fun, and very neat design!
Thank you for making this.

jouste responds:

appreciate your long comment! Yeah I LOVE Johann Kraus. thanks so much for the high score and you're welcome!

[Trauco]

"If you go into the woods today, your in for a big surprise....."
I think you really made something distinctly unsettling.
It actually reminds me on the tiger masks that people wear on the back of their heads so that those big cats are less likely to creep up on them.
Thank you for making this.

xnonameartx responds:

Ooo cool! :D
I feel like some group of people in the woods wearing those masks could make a cool drawing. Kinda want to draw that. XD
And thank you for liking it! :)

[fairy/forest]

This makes some fun use of the glossy feather/oil refracting on water glimmer effect.
I also appreciate the inhuman quality of the eyes, adding nicely to the ethereal sparkle.
Thank you for making this.

Thanks for commenting, it has a lot of value for me. Thank you
