Hoboweasel's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Livien]

To be honest

This is really quite good, but given the program you have, I would say you could have done a lot better. Also, they don't necessarily look like a girl (And I'm assuming they're supposed to because their name's Livien). If you want it to look more effeminate, I would suggest adding a more defined roundness to their face, as well as making features (like the chin) smaller. Overall, in comparison to your other work, it's sketchy and unfinished, you should have worked on it some more.

HOWEVER, if I was going to say something completely biased, yes, I would say this is totally awesome and I love the angular style to it... So keep working, for the love of god...

[Naked And Cold]

Abstractly done...

Two figures in curled up positions in a suggestive relative distance from one another (let alone that's all that's in the picture). I like it though, it's got a nice emotional presence and good concept of anatomy. Quite realistic too, though I think the guy on the left has a bit of a disproportional head in comparison to the woman...

[Grrrrr]

Lol

Nice realism to it, kinda funny too. I'm not sure why, but it almost seems complete with the background at least shaded in (though I have to say, the concept's pretty simplistic)... Anyway, it's fairly cool looking (you did a nice job bringing out the gradual shading too). There's a bit of unsymmetrical angle to the eyes (though I know how hard it is to get them almost perfectly straight, so it's fine), but what sorta bugs me is that it looks almost too dark, like it's in some wierd shade... But I still like it, so I'll give you a good score.

Oh, and I think KirtTheGreat's talking about some program you use on a Mac though (it's this photo filter that pretty much lets you blur out everything outside a small circle...). I get what he's saying, but then again it's sort of stupid to think you'd need to use it for reference (especially since it doesn't look the same).

ornery responds:

yeah working eyes is a strange because contrary to popular belief they aren't symmetrical on anyone really. But its a big challenge to get them to be the right degree of asymmetry.

And figures I wouldn't know what that program is, I wouldn't be caught dead using a mac, or maybe I would, because they are so horrible that I have wanted to shoot myself in the head in lieu of using them.

[Cyclops (commission #1)]

Holy sh*t you're kidding me!! :O

I know the person that told you to do this!!! xD
This is one of their demon puppet dudes! :D
It's actually quite interesting, though I'm not really one to say since I don't have much experience with 3-D modeling :/
But yeah, they told me about the drawing she gave you to use as reference to make this. I think she also gave you some others of the same person.
Have you tried using z-brush and maya or whatever? A friend of mine uses it and they do amazing 3D stuff...

VidGameDude responds:

Oh you must go to my school
nice of you to notice ^_^

yeh i should use ink and paint but im a bit lazy atm =P
anyways thanks for the review!

[IceTea is Life :))]

It usually depends what kind...

But hey, I like tea in general; hot, cold, green, mint, heck even with milk. I really like how you do that sweeping effect with the white background, makes it seem light and windy at the same time.

[PsychoCrow]

Burrrrrrrrdz

Nice, thought the nose looks a bit inlaid and the fingers are a tad weird as well... the effect is cool though.

[Unf!]

The spider's venom D:

Like how the pose doesn't really seem all that choppy, the penwork is pretty cool looking too, gives it style.

[~Royal Riot~]

Awesome :D

Really like the design, reminds me of dot hack. (I'd add this to favorites if I could, already tried scouting you :c).

[~The Friendship Tree~]

It's very detailed, but a little too simple xP

But that's okay, plus this...

'Friends are like trees.
Judge them by their roots, their fidelity.
Search for a vacant branch, as those are the friendship relations which that person can have.
Never think leaves are their true friends. Those abandon the tree sooner or later.
Their true friends are the birds which live in the nests between branches.'

Dis make meh happy! :D
