GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gold bathed fields]

Erdbeere!
Golden hair like straw with an accompanied strawberry motif?
Nice.
I also enjoy how the hat kinda vaporizes, and the hair sprouts, giving an slight nature nymph impression.
Thank you for making this.

leftoverteeth responds:

AH!! thank you very much for the kind words as well ^__^ <3

[salem]

Wicked!
Your style seems to be this awesome Pop-Punk-Pink-Apocalypse, and I am here for it.
I like the how the movement seems so intentional, and has alot of impact.
Also, the eye becoming obstructed from view like that is quite keen.
Your other pieces also seem quite lovely, and on the topic, welcome to Newgrounds, enjoy your stay.
Thank you for making this.

leftoverteeth responds:

THANK YOU !!! :DDDD <333

[Soapy 2021]

Heh, cute.
I feel, especially with her green, black, and pink color scheme and naturally aquatic theme she might enjoy jewelry made from Pink Coral, Garfish Bone (Green), and Obsidian.
It's obviously and earnest effort on her part, and i like the awkward way you set her feet, and the pose in general as it sits ambiguously between awkward anxiety and subdued aggression.
I wonder about the hoop of the skirt, is it whale bone by any chance?
I joke, but definitely a fun character piece.
Thank you for making this.

OneGrumpyLumpy responds:

I'm glad you like it!

[Hurricane Ida X Mississippi]

hah
I was wondering in there were hurricane Waifus, so you have answered that unspoken call, and I thank you.
On the other hand, I hope you and yours are safe and well.
I appreciate the 1950's lesbian dime novel motif you went with and it was super clever to use Ida's hair to form a storm cloud.
Thank you for making this.

BombsAhoy responds:

And thank you for the thoughtful response!

[The Eye Mug]

Mug of Seeing
(Attunement)(wonderous magic item)
If the attuned user of the mug drinks the black ichor that fills it at day break, they gain true sight (60ft) and resistance to all damage from beholders.
If the attuned fails to drink the ichor before a new sunrise, the mug becomes inert and the user is blinded for 1d4 weeks, at the end of which the mug is reactivated.
If the mug is attuned to a new user, in any cicumstance, the previously attuned is permanently blinded, even if reattuned (no truesight) which is only removed by wish or a divine intervention.
The mug has 3d6 + 12 eyes and each one can be removed each day for a random use off a beholder's eyestalk ability.
An eye can only be removed after drinking the ichor, and the eyes will regrow 1 per a day while inert.
When all the eyes are removed the mug destroys it's self, but does not convey the ichor affliction, but does grant the attuned the observant feat.
(Nice work, truly terrifying.)
Thank you for making this.

DonaldLPatten responds:

I was blissfully ignorant of the power my Eye Mug possesed. I humbly thank you for painstakingly explaining its abilities :)

[Char. concepts "Business" no.1]

I really enjoy your work on these.
It would interesting to see your art style in a simple black jack simulator, with one of your stylish characters taking the role of dealer.
They can flash Jeers and scowls as you lose and win.
All of your character's have the right poise to lounge about a Casino, or I suppose, rob one.
Thank you for making this.

Xlyphon responds:

I must say that sounds like a really cool & funny idea! i'm kinda interested, i love the sophisticated side of retrofuturism with a touch of noir so the casino doesn't get out of place at all.

Also thanks a lot!

[The Nativity of Pac-Baby]

There is something deeply perverse in how wholesome this seems to be.
I appreciate the chalky pastel look, and the looming shadows.
Thank you for making this.

DonaldLPatten responds:

The sense of perversion is from the perspective of the Ghost Tetrarchy. The four experience anger, sadness, dread, and disdain as they watch from afar the birth of Pac-Baby. Knowing it’ll become a powerful enemy with the ability to consume power pellets, to subsequently consume them. The conflict between them and the “Paclings” is ever tipping in favor of Pac-Man and his family, and they know it.

[Mallory]

Hmm, nicely done.
Look through your work, and this piece in particular, your pieces have a really great sense of depth.
The shadowing and the scaling really makes the foward hand, the cloth and hair pop in a very keen way, and gives it an almost pop up book.
The pallets is also deceptively simple, cause you seem to have a good sense of how to hide the ebb and flow of light and shadow quite smoothly.
I will say the hand in the fore ground seeming smaller than hand in the back ground did catch my notice but the fore hand is in a pose that naturally makes it look smaller.
In any case, for your fine work I would like to reccomend this awesome anime puppet artist;

Thank you for making this.

Kaweii responds:

Thank you so much for all the compliments!
It means so much, I'm glad to know which part you really like in my art!
It gives me more confidence on it! ♥
And thank you for the video of that artist aswell, I saw their stuff around, it's always super impresive! :D

[45 Men Page 1]

Excited for the series!
Any thoughts on a series for vice presidents/first ladies.
If you have never spent time with it I recommend drunk history, there are alot of great tidbits presented in a very relaxed manner.
In fact;

Thank you for making this.

DonaldLPatten responds:

US Vice Presidents and First Ladies are integral figures in American history. I hope to honor them by making portrait series of them at some point in the future. Fall Semester starts next week, so I fear I'll lack the time for any multi image series for awhile. Regardless thanks for the great suggestions! Also thanks for linking the Drunk History episode. The show's lightning in a bottle. I appreciate this comment. Thank you :)

[US President Studies II]

Hah, I find something quite amusing about this series of studies.
It's interesting to see figure drawing style work of the president, especially with old man pecs.
For the chuckle this brings me, I offer this ridiculous explosion of the baberham Lincoln;

Thank you for making this, happy 4th.

DonaldLPatten responds:

Thank you for seeing the humor in these studies. Thanks for another nice comment.
