GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cat-hood: METEOR]

A nice moment.
I imagine you are listening to this a lot right now, and thanks for sharing that part of yourself.
Thank you for making this.

Keun-E responds:

thank you for your comment!
yep im listening a lot in utube
gonna buy the album

[Ikumi Mito]

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.

[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!

[Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game]

Good old Vault 13, may it's water chip remain stable.
It's a nice vantage shot, and maybe just messing the sky a bit would have pushed a bit further, Maybe just a glint of pip boy green in the city scape to give a sense of adventure and discovery
On the other hand this also refreshingly restrained for Fallout fan art, and focus on the isolation of the world in a strong way.
Thank you for making this.

DinkoDX responds:

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I was definitely going for a feeling of isolation, but I admit the background could use something more. Thanks again!

[Kabloof]

Y'know I have no idea what's happening here and I still love it.
Something I learned recently is that magma/lave can actually stimulate lighting strikes because of what the high temperatures wind up doing to the metals, and humans tend to attract lighting as well due to our height and juiciness.
The bones being aglow the odd horse tip calves, the franken-ankles and writs, it all very eye catching.
What's ever is happening here is not a good day, but is incredible to look at.
Thank you for making this,

RobotGuts responds:

Hey I appreciate that a lot! She's not having a great day but I'm glad you like looking at it.

[Samus Aran]

You did an amazing job with her here.
Samus is possibly my favorite Nintendo character, mostly because she just doesn't back down. Link could be compared, but he's literally an reincarnated avatar of courage, at he has world full of people to talk to.
Samus is one of the most solitary video game characters on her level of notoriety, and I think about weird life must be. Wielding tech of dead species and traveling from world to world trying to make some justice in an uncaring universe.
Sorry, for rambling, but frankly you picture is so good it caught me off guard, and I was reminded of Metroid Fusion's weird and painful narrative of her being fused into the suit permanently, and her question who and what she is.
Thank you for making this.

Zakuga responds:

There are other artists that put much more work into making a great tribute to samus. I dont think mine is one, but thank you.

[promare bois]

Promare looks so good!
I still need to see the movies but you have done very well expressing the Studio's style while sticking to your own aesthetic.
Thank you for making this.

MD00dles responds:

oh thanks so much!

[Frightbot]

Such potent display of anxiety!
The clashing of the subdued colors is fascinating, and I think I like it because something that's made to be scary can still be creepy, but in it's self the intention can almost drag away from the meaning.
Chaos is far more frighting to people then intention, and so that intentionally causes fear is a interesting foe.
I feel like this is from "mother", but I like to react on gut feeling and google afterwards.
It's a really cool print.
Thank you for making this.

potachi responds:

Hey thank you so much for leaving such a nice review! Thank you for enjoying the art, I appreciate the kind words! Have a great day!

[dtiys gigis_lab]

So, there was an article on NPR, and it might have only ever played once, but it was most likely on "This American Life" if feel like narrator was fairly frequent contributor to NPR, and she went into a very interesting story about her time as a goth.
She mused about the hierarchy of gothdom, and that you where only meant to wear black, with a touch of white, but if you had enough esteem, you have pink within your outfit.
She stressed the privileged and dangers of wearing pink because you adherence to nihilism had to be almost absolute to get away with ironically wearing pink.
Wearing it intentionally, to be happy, was off mode.
So i had a slight chuckle when I saw this.

The character certainly has elemets of punk studs, gothic choker and makeup, emo/scene hair and earnings, and then a hipster tattoo.
The odd nods to the more iconography style is super cool, and I almost missed the face that from breast down she is a skeleton.
The magic of of her smoke, and the encircling of dark flame, along with a trophy of something long dead, caught in what looks to be captured space, it's all so resonate for that familiar and fun creeping sensation of October.
It's very interesting, but the most intriguing aspect for me, is her expression.
It's not come hither, nor doubt, it's more "patient and in control evaluation."
Overall, she seems like the avatar of the god of death in a dark cyber punk future, and that's my jam.
Thank you for making this.

EvokStudios responds:

Oh my, you don't know how touched we are now. We are really happy to see that one of our drawings made someone really feel it! Your comment was simply amazing, thanks for posting this, we are really happy to read something like this right now it.

[Secret Santa-Craven and Dario]

I wish I knew more the story behind this, but I get the feeling that the skull is the elder adn the slasher is the boy.
I made me immediately think of "Mystery Men" and the Legacy Hero "The Bowler" who was the daughter of a superhero who would fight crime with bowling balls, and when he was killed for it, she put his skull in a bowling ball.
That movie is pretty memetastic, especially since the official music video for "All Star" by Smashmouth is a tie in to that movie.
Anyways, I get the sense that older figure was maybe a scientist from the gray heir, and perhaps had an experiment that rendered him into this weird form with his kid?
Like a much grimmer Danny Pantom.
In any case I love the otherworldly flow of the mist, and the sense of dark reflection in the foreground.
Thank you for making this, and for sharing the characters.

Sony-Shock responds:

Oooh, long commentary! Love it!

You are right in one thing at least! But guess what. You can actually read about the story behind it! The person I made the Secret Santa for revealed it all in a series of comic that were part of a tournament in entervoid. It's super compelling

Link' https://entervoid.com/index.php?action=archive;chara=2620 The Invitational Tournament 2019 comics covers it!
