TheReviewTrickster's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Foreign]

The lighting conveys a sense of beauty and the piece looks very nice. The design of the character is cool, though not that original. I like the little particles floating in the air. The drops of water on the android's body are nice. It's cool how you can sorta see a reflection in the water if you look closely. So, my best guess as to what the story is that it's an android from a different world. The title is "Foreign" and the android is looking up, like they fell or crashed or something. There also seem to be pieces of debris scattered around the place. My one complaint is that the cog floating in the water stands out too much.

Marckel responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly, originality is hard (so is detail) but perhaps I'm being lazy. I'm glad the story reads through clearly though, that's a success!

[Adventurin']

The style really fits the characters and the show. I could actually see them doing an episode with this style, to be honest, considering the alternate styles they've done in the past. It seriously looks like the Finn and Jake and captures their character perfectly. Despite the simplicity of the piece, it really captures the essence of the show.

FlumpyTripod responds:

Thank you.

[Gravity Rush 2 - Skewer break]

You know, even when I have no idea about anything you base your art on, like here, where I don't know the game, your art is so good. It just feels like there's something special in it. I guess it's just your style, but you manage to make things look pretty, regardless of context. Even though you use a fairly common style, I truly am impressed with some of the things you make. This is great! You can really make people feel a certain emotion with your art. The face is very expressive and the eyes look super pretty. It also manages to sell the atmosphere. The little drops of sweat are a really nice detail and the lighting, combined with said detail and the outfit, really plant an idea in your subconscious that it's a hot day. The background is really nice, and fits the atmosphere of the piece. It's really cool how this piece can be enjoyable even to someone who hasn't played Gravity Rush and how you can immediately tell what he character is like, despite said not-playing of the game.

MLeth responds:

Aw man thank you so much for the wonderful words! I'm happy I'm able to avoke such feelings. Lighting plays a big role in seeting the mood and I was just checking the top-lighting as a test and had to continue with it!

[Psychanics]

This is so great! I really like the black-and-white style. I really like the guy's look, and the way everything is gray except for the inside parts of the head. They look perfectly goopy and so detailed. It definitely gives you an idea of what the band is like and you can tell what the point is. The insanity breaking out of the classic scientist dude, and his inner workings. Whichever it is (I know it's the latter, I read the description in the link), it is really cool and funny. More importantly, if you put this on a T-Shirt, it's definitely going to interest people, which is the goal. I just got that the stuff in the background is blueprint schematics. It manages to both add to the atmosphere and be a cool joke. This is just a really cool and funny piece and I feel obliged to check out the band now.

[Sunflowers]

Very detailed, the colors are nice and so is the lighting. The mountains and clouds in the background look great. I feel like the sunflowers might be a bit too orange though.

Kldpxl responds:

Thanks!

[Weaver]

A really cool concept and creature design. Very detailed as well. I like the idea of a guy who weaves webs or whatever from the bones of God-knows-what. His face shows what kind of character he's supposed to be, and the fact that he looks like he's wearing the most elegant and honorable of clothes makes him even more intimidating when you think about what kind of guy does that with literal teeth around his face. I really like his stance and hand positioning. It makes him look strong but elegant. Also, the colors are really nice.

MrCreeep responds:

thank you! i get some of my favorite comments from newgrounds hands down. you guys rock

[Human being.]

First off, this is a very cool idea. It looks really good as well. There's just so much stuff and it all blends together pretty well in terms of style, and it looks satisfying. I really wanna know this guy's story now. Seems like he was just really unlucky. The colors are nice and there's a good amount of detail. The card in the eye socket sticks out a bit though, especially since most of the mayhem is concentrated around the mouth. Maybe you could have evened it out a bit. The "voted" stamp is pretty funny , though it doesn't look very real. A background would also be cool, so we could see where the poor guy ended up, but it's good this way as well.

ClemJusnot responds:

Woah thank's for your complete and well written ! maybe you will hear a bit more about this (poor) guy in the future.. and a background too because it's part of an animated/motion-book serie that I prepare !
For the card, it's an Iphone, with a distorded apple logo.. I agree it could be more realistic for that haha ! (I made the whole thing one year ago and don't even realize until recently x)

Have a nice day.. and a big thank to you ! (ps. I'm french so it couldn't be perfect by moments haha)

[Laboratory - One Week Ultimate Werewolf]

Man, that is one hell of a board game if it has art like this. I like the style, it's very pleasant. I enjoy the old-timeyness and the cheesines of the lab, it looks like it came out of an 80's movie. The lighting is also pretty cool and I like the colors. One thing bothers me though, and it's that, for a scientist, whoever runs this place is not very good at proper lab design. On the left, that large boiler thing blocks the way, and to get past it, you'd have to be very careful to not knock something over and ruin everything. There's also a random table with a single thing on it in the upper part. It's blocking off the path as well. I guess I can understand, since it seems like the person only has a small amount of space to use for their lab, and it doesn't seem like they're very focused, more of a wacky scientist. In fact, I think it kinda makes sense now and it seems like it's in character, considering how things are scattered around the place.

[towering heights]

Lots of detail and I quite like the setting. The design of the buildings is super cool. That dragon thing is pretty interesting too, although it feels kind of strange when you look at the rest of the picture and the buildings, because it just doesn't fit in that well. The framing is pretty cool too and I like the shading and bleak, samey colorless colors. It's really interesting that the guy has 2 shadows from the sun and the fire, and the way the sun is positioned is cool. The sign is a bit out of place, since it's not very shiny and it's at the front end of a building and it seems pretty dark the way its pointing. The roundness of the shape kind of annoys me, but it's probably just a personal thing.

Eurns responds:

wow thanks for the feedback! i get your points and will try to keep them in mind next time i try something like this. thx again!

[Robot]

It looks pretty cool, and I really like the idea of a robot who just wears a hoodie and makes silly robot noises and has.nothing better to do.
