GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kai]

Super dynamic!
I really like the texture you got on the clothing, and I am genuely impressed by how much use you got out of contrasting shades of blue.
Thank you for making this.

9Hammer responds:

Thank you thank you! Personally, love working with blues. It's a nice, calming color.

[Peter and MJ Commission]

Simple and fun!
I wonder if Peter's wall crawling ability would allow MJ to stick on his back like that.
I think you did a great job showing their relationship.
I suppose my only remark is that the shadow does not seem to logically line up with them, but perhaps I am misunderstanding the perspective.
Thank you for making this.

2DSWIRL responds:

Thanks for the advice. Yeah the shadow was a bit rushed. I'm still learning to do more things in perspective so hopefully I can get better at it.

[The Frivolous Forte!]

You did a really great job with the color on this.
Th balance of the tan yellows with the striking purple outfit rally catches the eyes, and you certainly choose a background that is subdued but complementary.
The design of the outfit is also certainly on point, and with the poise of the model and cartoonish expression of the face, it bellows a strong sense of character.
Thank you for making this.

Roksim responds:

Thanks for the nice review!

[watching you]

Now that is some solid body horror.
Reminds me a bit of some of the "lotus syndrome" images from earlier in the internet.
I wonder how they blink, dilate of pivot.
I actually think is fairly restrained as you certainly could have distorted the main eyes, or tussled more into the lock of the hair, like some obscene Christmas ornament.
You also stuck to human pupils, witch actually makes me think of cat eyes, goat eyes, and fish eyes.
With the eye-sores around the the throat it makes me contemplate gills on a human with fish eyes hidden in the flaps.
Was that the joke by and by?
"Eye-sore"
Thank you for making this.

EvokStudios responds:

We're glad that you really like it! ^^

[Entrapped - MyHeroAcademia fanart]

I think you really demonstrated the long shadow that her father has on her terrifyingly well.
The juxtaposition is incredible imposing.
Thank you for making this.

EvanScale responds:

Thank you!

[200209 Ray Painting]

I think you did quite well.
I really appreciate your write up of your process in developing this, and I think your internal honesty of it's faults and merits is really admirable.
Personally I think nudity without sexual context is a "T", but I admit to be laid back on that issue.
I think you also struggled with combing the softer/rounder natural feature of the piece and the geometry of the artificial objects in it, but I think that constrast actually ads alot to it.
The grass draping of the blanket for example is an apt touch.
Thank you for making this.

RedMarlin responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Could you elaborate on what you mean by combining the natural aspect with the geometry of the objects? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

I put nudity as "some" and that's it, but apparently that's enough to warrant an M. I can't pick the letter.

[Cyberspring (2016)]

As a GITS and Gunnum fan this kinda art is a large red bliking weak spot for me.
You really captured a sense of how big the world is and how small the person's part in it is.
The little flower reminds me of a cyber punk future version of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Where natural wood was so rare that staking vampires was just much harder.
I like how you played with light and shadow, and you did well with the cybernetics not bleeding into uncanny valley.
Thank you for making this.

rtil responds:

thank you! definitely big inspirations for me, too.

[Chocobo]

Ah!
The humble Chocobo.
You did a great job blending a classic "bit" look with a more modern shading scheme.
I have seen there wings presented in a few different ways, but i I think vestigial, or "rubber ducky" look was a solid choice.
Thank you for making this.

RudyF93 responds:

Thank you! I almost forgot the wings actually haha

[Pharah]

Hah!
Designer brand Pharah is a very cool image, very strong too.
I think you made some very cool choices in terms of what to express about the character's own body, and their relationship with the suit. I also think the blue background with the logo was a super cool choice with the fact it makes it a very Pharah image.
The missiles are also a nice touch, and blurring them to imply motion was a smart idea.
Thank you for making this.

GRIS9 responds:

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked the design!

[Just an innocent child with an innocent flower]

I actually think you did quite well.
I really like how you handled the shading and the transition in tone of color.
In terms of the face, this might seem like an odd point, but facial structure actually ages quite distinctly, while you do have some of the fullness of the face (AKA: Baby Fat) your cheek structure actually looks more adult.
Nothing wrong with that, as some kids just look like this, but I thought you might find that information valuable.
Human faces continue to grow structurally until about the the mid twenties, and There are several interesting things that happen to the skull over time.
(IE the skull fusing, and the baby teeth falling out)
Some people's face can actually have a very dramatic change from early childhood, in not small part due to puberty.
Sorry for rambling, I just really like what you did with this, and wanted to let you know how to change it a little.
The eyes are truly haunting though.
Thank you for making this.

xratedvision responds:

Thank you very much!
Heh, it's pretty obvious I have no skill at drawing children ( difficult! ). Hope to improve one day. You're advice will certainly help in the future. :D
