Aliveoncamera's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red]

This is great! I love how simple it is, yet it still has a strong sense of direction. While I could complain about how the background is a tad bit blank, but to be honest, it just adds to the overall atmosphere of it. It's lovely.

[Christ's Flesh]

The design for this is pretty awesome! The rendering is simply amazing, this is astounding. If I were to complain about something, it'd be that the teeth kind of make it look goofy, but everything else is simply amazing,

buriedantenna responds:

Thanks for the positive comment, it's very kind of you. I definitely understand your opinion when it comes to the teeth. When I sketched it out, I tried a few different things for the face, but when I roughed in this weird goofy smile (I thought your choice of the word 'goofy' was a good one) I really liked the contrast between the smile and the rest of the design, which is quite serious. I just liked the weird, uneasy feel that it gave to the character. I kind of knew it wouldn't be for everyone though, so I get what you're saying.

[Case Eye]

At first, I was kinda distracted by the fact that it was so simple. Then I read that they were meant to be stickers, in which case the simplicity is fine. At least what is detailed is detailed very well. I'm almost hypnotized by the crazy colorful eyes.

akoRn responds:

thanks! :D

[The Sane Hatter]

This is fantastic. The atmosphere and design of this is great. However, I dd feel that the snake (?) on the side feels a bit flat. In fact, the lighting/shadows overall needs a bit of work. Despite that though, this is a fantastic piece.

zephyo responds:

Thank you. Yeahhh using a pencil I found on my desk doesn't benefit shadows, I'll take note of the contrast next time.

[Accalia]

Design wise, this is fantastic. Same things with the values, they're pretty good. I absolutely adore all of the detail packed into this, it really goes to show how much hard work was put into this. That being said, some work could be done with the facial anatomy. The face looks... misshapen. Well, maybe not that, but something seems off. It's kind of distracting. That being said, though, this is very well done. Great work!

ttbloodlusttt responds:

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I really apprciate it!

I took a picture of this with my camera and tried to fix it a bit in photoshop so it's possible that whatever attention I didn't pay to proportionate anatomy was probably exacerbated. Perhaps when I get my scanner working again I can see if I can fix it. It's also hard to get the tones to come through properly with a camera phone haha.

I am glad you enjoyed the piece. It was a random idea that I started sketching and ended up finishing. I am so glad I did.

[Another Study]

This is very well done. Great job! My only complaint is that the hair looks a bit iffy, but other then that, this is fantastic. Great study!

1600 responds:

Thanks, I agree hair is something I'll probably try to work on when I do more of these.

[Mystical Crystal]

While this does have a very strong sense of design (Yes, I know it was based off of a previously established character, but whatever.) I do fee that you could have gone a bit more intense with the values, it feels kind flat. Going into more mild annoyance territory, The neck seems a fair bit too long. The metal is pretty nice though.

[Safe Travels]

Overall this is pretty good, there's a lot of emotion in it, especially with the reptilian fellow, however I do feel that the background is a bit messy, cleaning up and making it a bit tighter would add even more to the epic atmosphere. Overall though, great work!

[Naga]

This is very nice. The detail in the Naga is simply astounding, you really succeeded in giving it a inhuman, slimy look, while still keeping some familiar traits. However, I do feel that you could darken some of the areas, it would give even more depth to this. Great work!

Jaona responds:

Thanks! :)

[Revenge]

This is absolutely lovely. Seriously. The composition is great, the color choices are great, There are so many strong things about this picture. If I were to make one small complaint, I'd say that it's a bit centralized, and the character looks like the subject is floating, some stronger shadows would remedy this, I think.

zephyo responds:

Thank you. I appreciate the critique. I agree; for the lighting, there aren't enough shadows, it kinda looks like the lighting on the guy is the shadow. Next time I'll try to put the focus not in the exact center.
