Artist-Lost's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Robotic Nightmare]

I've always been a fan of your inkwork, but this one's detail and color job make it jump to the top of the list. Another great robot day picture!

deathink responds:

Yeah the ink took a while on this one.

[Megaman]

Great use of texture brushes. I expecially like the blaster effect you got with the smoke brush.

JoshSummana responds:

Only particle brushes that were used were on the gun blaster and atmosphere around him.... He was painted with traditional media brushes :)

[FF6 Recreated]

very professional work. I always love seeing quality old school pixel game art. You would have been an easily employed sprite artist back in the hay day of good old 2D games. I look forward to playing something made by you in the near future.

Hyptosis responds:

Thanks for the kind words man, means a lot. ^_^

[Collaboration Breeze.]

Awesome work on this one. It's nice to see the characters in a different genra style. Lets see, Pico, Nene, Tankman? Not sure who the other girl is but I may have missed the flash.

Kuoke responds:

Read Luwano's comment.

[The Yeti is not forgotten]

I'm confused, you left out the shadow under the yeti, and his tracks lead up to the kid and stop way before they get to the yeti. Also they should get a lot bigger as they get closer to the yeti because of how far back you pushed the cave. While soft brushes can be used effectively if used cleanly, they mostly end up distracting from the good bits of the picture as they have here.

The light source is very spotlight/flashlight looking, which is fine, but it doesn't match up on the kid. Actually based on what you have here, the present is the light source.

As for the stars, if you do your starry sky first, or on its own layer, you will find that it is much easier to prevent them from clustering around the edges which will give it more of a randomized look.

Now the good bits. Your line work is nice and clean, which I always love. However when put against the blurry shadows it really looses it's charm. The textures are a nice addition, particularly at the base of the tree behind the yeti.

Saminat responds:

Thanks for the critique! That's exactly what I'm looking for, and I'm going to be making several changes before the calendar goes up.

[Tainted Goods]

I'm hoping this one gets the October slot. Great job!

deathink responds:

Keep your fingers crossed!

[The Pretender]

Wish this one would have got a front page, I love old school robots. Head and chest looks like the Iron Giant. Good use of lighting to create the boxing arena feel, and the tilt is the perfect amount to show movement.

Ludic responds:

Thanks man! Yeah, an FP would be fun *cough cough*.

[Robotic Evolution]

Good work on the background, but the woman seems rushed, its almost like she's painted in a completely different style.

Kamikaye responds:

Thx , yea I decided to paint her later in PS, all the other things have been drawn in Alchemy before ...
