Hoboweasel's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Severe Brain Fuckery]

Woah

It's really abstract but it kind of makes you paranoid after looking at it for a while, you know? I'm not sure what to rate this, but it looks like you've put in some good effort.

[sailbot]

This is awesome and cute :3

Just for the heck of it though, I think you should have the sun shining in the background, but make it look a gear or something (sorta like the Japanese depiction of the sun but mechanized). Another thing, I like what you did with the background fade, but I honestly thing it looks like you're slacking off... I mean you're one of the best background artists I've seen on newgrounds, so I'm sorta disappointed that you didn't show the entire background in all of it's glory.

And now for what you actually did do... First off, the robot and the boat are really cute concepts, nice work. But it seems to me like you made the boat out of makeshift parts (I think that's a fishing rod for the sail or something I can't really tell, I mean, if it is you should use that to your advantage. I.e. string the sail through the entire fishing pole or something). The robot I don't have any criticism on, very simple and innocent, though I love the little wrench he's using xD The sea and sky are really stunning as well, though I can't help but think the clouds are a bit faded out of the picture, they don't look that natural.
Anyway, it's still great man, if you put in a bit more effort I would've given you a ten.

[A SELF PORTRAIT OF MYSELF SELF]

Haha, that looks so sketchy xD

The domo shirt and the briefcase make it all the more disturbing xJ
Overall the drawings pretty cool, though it seems a bit rushed...

SpamClamberton responds:

Yeah, when I'm using the pen tool in flash I pretty much scribble everything because I'm more concerned with the flow of the lines than anything else. I need to submit some more hand drawn stuff to newgrounds, because I really don't feel like I've submitted any art that demonstrates my drawing ability very well. :(

[Dunkleosteus Serpentes]

Oh lawd

This is amazing, I really like the detail given and scale of it all. Overall it maintains a decent proportion too. Design looks really cool... 10/10 because it looks awesome and it looks like you put a lot of effort into this.

kmau responds:

Thanks but credit goes to all those crazy fuckers deep under the sea who inspired me.

[NO TITLE]

You know...

I didn't get time to submit my entry... but I hope this wins. It's hands down the best...

UltraPitchFork responds:

This is art at its height.

[Cheezburger]

It hungers for the flesh of the livestock!...

Ground up, shaped into a patty, then cooked and placed between two slices of bread with an assortment of vegetable garnishes such a- MEOW DAMMNIT!!

I really like it, but it seems sketchy, like you could have done a lot more...

Savory responds:

yeah, I have a lower attention span than most artists... I tried

[zelda redesigns]

Alright, I know I'm annoying, but here goes...

Starting from left to right (not all of them):
-Navi: lacking a well defined torso, makes the waist look really far up... Wings look a bit weird like that as well, though I appreciate your attempt to make her look different.
-Sheik: well, I think she's supposed to look like a guy to some extent... yeah... still look's really cool though.
-Malon: Looks cute, body's proportionate and everything too, but one pupil seems bigger than the other :/
-Goron: Awesome shading, but, why are his legs so far apart? o_e"
-Midna: same issue as with navi, you probably intended it I guess, I just think it looks odd. Oh, and they have a shitload of earrings apparently...
-Pig dude: Looks amazing... but that would scare the shit out of me if I saw it irl...
-Majora: Mask needs to be bigger, the head as well. Also, he has these sort of frills on his had (it's made of some weird cloth or something that got tattered I guess).
-Gerudo lady: *thumbs up*
-Ganon: Like the body, but the head seems weird... sort of scrunched up :c
...wait, what the hell is that thing?! It's freaking awesome though!

My favorites are probably the stalfos, pig dude, and the Gerudo lady... Not very fond of Midna or Skullkid though :c Don't get me wrong though, the others are still awesome, that's why I gave you a ten.

I know I seem like I down-rate things but I'm just looking for flaws. If I don't suggest anything that normally means it's damn near as good as it gets.

lenkalamari responds:

nah dont worry about it, its definitely good to give crit. its hard to really judge a piece when i've been looking at it for so long so a pair of fresh eyes always helps.

most anatomy warps are a personal decision, you've gotta remember i'm going for the more stylized vibe of wind waker than something like ocarina/twilight princess. but you did mention a few things i didn't pick up on so i can go right back and fix em. thanks

[newgrounds calendar entry]

Alright, I can see why "Igiveup" said that...

He's still off though, in my opinion. I think what this really lacks is some realistic lighting, by that I mean lightening up the outlines of things that are in direct light, and darkening up some shadows. I think that would sort of give it a more aesthetic lighting and make everything flow a lot more naturally. Technically you COULD do that by just putting this in Photoshop or something and increasing the shadows and contrast a bit then taking the more visible outlines and make them lighter, but Idk, it's still really good, I'm just trying to clarify what I think is a bit of an issue in it...

jouste responds:

sure the lighting is a little wonky. i didn't have a lot of time to do this image but i think it turned out alright.

thanks for the advice though. this is an older image so i'd like to think that i've gotten a little better with my shading.

thanks for the highscore and review pal! :D

*highfives*

[Pico In time!]

Nice work!

It sorta seems unnaturally composed (mainly the background and perspective), but it still has a pretty cool effect. Nice detail, the whole thing's really cool! :D

TheShadling responds:

Hey I appreciate it mate.

[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...
