Xuvero's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Inktober Day 8: Star]

"War... War never changes. When atomic fire consumed the Bikini Bottom, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults."

What happens when you cross Spongebob Squarepants with Fallout? This happens!

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Hahaha YES!

[Astro Boy]

This is good for a rushed work. I mean, he could oscilate a bit, go up and down as if he was floating. And for a few moments the light reflection on his... Trunks? It disapeared for a few moments.

Besides this things it looks really good.

[Alien Tominid]

Oh dude, I can't believe this wasn't frontpaged.

This is amazing, we should totally make SuperTank a thing.

P.S.: Damned censoring!

[Strange Specimens 01 Jersey Devil]

Well, I had to look up what a Jersey Devil is. Up until now I thought it was only a Fables and The Wolf Among Us character.

I really liked the design and colours of the image, it all makes it look like an illustration in a bestiary book. Brings a nostalgic feeling from those classic horror books I used to read.

[Brooke]

She looks like something straight out of the 80s on this one.

I like how the colours feel quite harmonic on this one, it all just matches and doesn't get over-saturated. That said, I liked her white jacket, but I think I would have liked to see it in a different colour (but maybe it wouldn't be so harmonic).

Maybe it's just my personal bias against white jackets? (Probably).

MLeth responds:

Thank you! Yeah I wanted a simple white color for the jacket right off the bad so I adapted the rest of the colors to work with that!

[Kilbold Blastwarrior]

Nice, I like the colour pallet (nice touch leaving the colours there btw). This character has an interesting design, but I really think that his torch should be on the left hand, so he could light the bomb more easily (that's why it's there, right?)

Hyptosis responds:

Right! I imagined him doing it across his chest while his shield was up, but that works too!

[The First Thirteen]

Wow, this thing made me a bit nostalgic, to be honest.

I haven't been too much of a madness fan recently, guess I just don't like as much as I used to. But looking at this brought me some memories, made me remember how I used to like and how fun it was to watch all of this movies. I don't know why this happened, but when I saw it yesterday it made my Madness Day actually Madness.

Thanks, dude.

ChazDude responds:

I'm humbled :3

[Mera]

Interesting to know that you felt inspiration to draw her because of her hair, 'cus it was the first thing I noticed!

Some really strong lines here, and I like it, it makes an interesting break with the watercolor (which is smooth and fluid). And talking about that, nice touch with the watercolor, made the oainting look really water-ish.

TashaaNicole responds:

Ah thank you so much Xuvero!! It can be hit or miss for me when it comes to translating something from real life to my "style" cause I don't really draw realistically so I'm glad my iinspiration came across :D

[Neon rooftops]

The coulous are great on this one, the design looks interesting, but I think that, on overall, this could have been done better.

I think this blurry effect that you've put all over it does not fit, it makes it too hard to understand what is happening in the image. And ok, there is nothing wrong with seeming abstract, if abstract was the concept. But here it doesn't seem like the idea was to create something abstract, it seems like it was to actually show something, and the blur gets in the way of that.

[Dragón]

The design of this dragon is cool, the colours too. It looks smooth, fluid and original.

But there is one thing I don't like in it: this big blur right in the middle. It feels weird and out of place, it shouldn't be there, it's the complete abscense of detail while the rest is super detailed. Maybe you could have added shade there, it would have looked better.
