Xuvero's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ocean Aquarium]

This art piece really fills the eye with detail. I like how the white part all around the water gets all the details concentrated in one place, and then it's possible to look at all of that at once.

I am amazed by this, it feels peaceful and outwordly at the same time, much like the sea and the animals that inhabit it do.

[John Goodman - 10 Cloverfield Lane]

This is so well made and realistic! I didn't watch the movie but he looks real, I don't think there's any negative to point out here, not that I can see.

Too bad I can only give you 5, this amount of effort needed more then just that!

MiddleFingerRings responds:

Thanks a lot! Very kind of you.

[One Chilled Hop]

Hey! This is pretty good! I liked the "Easter eggs" in the back, like the Cyrodiil map and the Nintendo 64. As usual your drawing style is great, I love it.

I liked the pastel colours on this one, but according to the description it wasn't meant to be like that. But I liked it, it gave quite a sleepy feeling, it looked as if it was cool sunny afternoon (that gave me quite a good feeling, 'cus days have been pretty gray and cold here lately).

And finally, the animation is pretty detailed,it looks nice and smooth. Not completely perfect but really good looking.

[White wolf]

This looks pretty nice, I like the colours, it makes it look pretty cold.

I think you could have added a moon in the sky, it would have matched quite nicely with the wolf.

And talking about the wolf, it looks a bit... Round, soft, you know what I mean? Wolfs tend to look more rough, but it looks like you were going for that style.

But something that really could be improved is the head, it is a bit too small overall, and way too small if you consider the amount of extra fur that he was supposed to have. And building up on that, it is always nice to try to make any "snow" animal look like it has a huge amount of fur.

RoseredTiger responds:

True, and, had I taken a bit more time to plan out the painting, I may well have done some of those things, tho since it was just a free request I just made up stuff as I drew. The snow for example was a late addition, and I drew the wolf without cold in mind. Still I'll keep it in mind for the next time I draw a wolf or so

[Misbehave]

This is nice, looks like it came out straight out of a Star Wars movie. Seems like an interesting concept, any chance of it turning into more then just this illustration?

Cthulhuzann responds:

Very kind of you. It's based off a lesser known tv series called "Firefly."

[Mutt and Chopps Iconoclast styled]

This is beatiful, so much detail. I definitely will need to visit this a few more times to look at it for longer, it really fills the eye. I also liked a lot how you made the hippie guy have his head broken (I forgot his name lol).

But I think your colours are a bit too cool, when I watched this video I had the feeling of heat and draught, but I don't really have this feeling looking at this. Besides that, I think this is perfect!

ScepterDPinoy responds:

I'm not sure if I will make a heat filter in the future for some pixel mockup. Thank you for the suggestions.

[Classroom monster guy]

When I look at this, the first thing I notice is the brush style, makes me wonder is this is hand painted. This piece looks really sleepy, due to the colours and the shading. It's interesting that even though I can't see the rest of the room it seems to be empty, makes it look as if he just found an empty room to rest a little, it sure looks like a slow and sleepy afternoon.

shibasquish responds:

wowow thank you for such detailed feedback! I had a really vague idea of what I wanted to draw but I was thinking of really drowsy school lessons for the most of it. I'm glad the colors speak to you, I've been trying to make my choices more interesting so hearing that they convey a mood means alot!

[Wolf]

This piece has some good stuff, others that could be better. The brush style is nice, and the shading is well done (even though there are some shaed parts that shouldn't be). But there are some problems with anatomy and proportion: the ears and nose are a bit too smal compared to the rest of the face, and also his head seems to be too small compared to the rest of the body, his leg is kind of bad, it's really anatomic incorrect.

Also, you should try making the wolf more threatening, that would make him look more wolf-like, or else it looks to dog-like.

nikk5i responds:

Thanks for your feedback and advice :) It helps me a lot to improve my drawings in the future.

[Amon]

This is nice, I liked the brush style and how his armour and sword look realistic (though not completely proportional). I really liked it.

[maggots]

This is nice, the art style is good. Though I feel the animation could be smoother, and also you could try making the background in the same style as the character.

P.S.: His collar looks a bit Dracula-ish.
