HipnikDragomir's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Elder Scrolls V: Skrim]

Skrim

You forgot the "y". Anyway, this is pretty decent. The art style is cartoony but a bit too simple. The layout is clean and neat so that's good. I don't really get the joke though. Either it's an in-joke or just something random. The Argonian's facial expressions in the first half are really funny.

I wanted to meaningfully answer your query, but then I TURNED INTO A ROBOT BEEP BOOP I AM A ROBOT FROM THE FUTURE BLARPA BARP I AM HERE TO TAKE AMERICAN JOBS FELIZ NAVIDAD.

[A Bright Future .]

Very pretty

It's always good to see paper n pencil art pieces on here. I especially like the nose and the hair. The left eyebrow's end looks a bit too big/blunt. The shadow (?) next to her left eye looks very odd. Is it a shadow or eyelashes? The top lip (the shaded part) looks tacked on and not defined. Also, what is that covering her mouth? Some sort of cloth?

Flashmovieboy responds:

Well , so there are people around who criticize constructively :D Actually , these parts you called out for being weird or undefined , those parts appeared blurry on the reference pic , and as I have drawn real life models not too much , I tend to avoid defining these areas wrong , but instead I just leave them be.

Here's why

I get that it's made digitally and is probably a wonder to make through that, it just looks like a bunch of mud swashed around. That and it's really simple. It does look nice when viewed in actual size, but that's it. It doesn't really seem "artistic". Plus, almost all Newgrounds users want instant appeal, not something that you have to appreciate.

penguin100 responds:

Art is a matter of perspective. I mean if a bunch of blurry blocks or splattered paint can be considered fine art and people will spend bags of money to get their hands on it just because a particular artist made it then why would you consider this not to be artistic. Simplicity can be a fantastic tool when making art and should not be underestimated. I understand that most newgrounds users want instant appeal, but looking at it at first glance without really "looking" at it then just tossing a one or less at it isn't really fair unless they can at least justify the fact.

Excellent!

This piece is top notch, especially the textures and smooth models. Your 2D art may not be your strongest art form, but this shows that you're good in 3D. Keep making these and you'll definitely get scouted.

[... What?]

Quite stunning

She looks like a girl in my class, only this one's taller and not as French-looking. Anyway, as you said, this really is photo-realistic. My favorite part is the hand; it is just totally realistic. I do see the mistakes you mentioned after glancing over it: the leg positions are a tad odd, the right (her left) forearm is gorilla-sized, the neck is too wide, the feet are too rough, and some lesser ones would be that the ripples on the top half of her dress aren't perfect and that the background is too blurry. Also, I think the head is a little too big in contrast to the rest of the body.

[The Joker]

Good idea...

...but too simple. Having main man clown be disguised as a milk man is pretty devious, but it's just lacking. You should have coloured this and put in a background; specifically a scene, such as someone that was killed by the "milk", something, y'know?

RickAlabama responds:

Thanks, and I totally get what you're saying. I may color it in and add to the background one of these days; good suggestion by the way!

[My Online Sis]

Fair

This is all right; definitely not some lowly scribble. Very nice job on the general image, especially the eyes. However, some of the facial features are a bit disproportionate, such as the chin, mouth, and nose. They are all too wide. Apart from that, s'all good.

Zing

Great twist on the old song.
Stay classy.

ToonHole responds:

Remember to tip your waitresses and bartenders. Goodnight.

[Taurus raging bull revolver]

Fancy

Here's what would help:

-Work on the handle (the part you hold, I dunno what it's called), the trigger, and the little thing that loads the next bullet.
-Sharpen the lines of the gun.
-Give the bullets outlines
-The design on the "handle" is poorly done

Apart from that, it's pretty, especially the barrel and spinny clickitty thing.

soulsapper responds:

Thanks for the reponse man :) I haven't been on...for a long long while :P but reading this i'll upload it again finished :D

I've had too much on my mind and things to do.
