Oink-Moo's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blazing sun]

I like it.

I usually don't review these sorts of pieces because I'm not sure what sort of guideline to use, but I was actually more taken with this than I thought I would be. It has a nice even amount of light and dark which is nice, and although the texture is a little heavy I feel that it adds a sort of charm to it. Sort of like it was painted on a bedroom wall, the kind with the raised texture.

Anyway, nice work. :)

Hehehe

It's nice, a little rough which is fine and the anatomy could use some work. Other than that nice.

Also, there are occasionally women (like me) on the Internet who like dicks, not just gays. ;-0

Anyway, keep up the good work.

EnactJudo responds:

You're right there are plenty of internet girls that love men who send them pics of dicks

[Aira Peace]

Fairly good.

I love the effects, it looks very nice, but your proportions, textures and depth could use some work. Her legs and torso look a little awkward, and the chair she's sitting on is also a bit weird looking. The tail looks a little bit strange being only a single thin black line, it would probably be better to give it actual width but it's not really a huge deal.

You're on the right track though obviously. Keep up the nice work. :)

Nice job

Nice one, I like it a lot. I'm a fan of things like hazmats and gas masks so I enjoy seeing how people use these things in their art, but I don't just like this because I'm biased. ;) The colors are great, from the author's comments I take it you usually work in black and white; already you obviously have a decent understanding of contrast (between the green needle and the red/pink background) and some ways of bringing distant colors like these together (the yellow face shield and accents). The choice in colors is also great, very dynamic and striking.

The ONLY thing I might suggest -- and it's purely a suggestion, not advice or direction per se -- is that you might try to find a way to draw out more of the contrast and depth with a bit variation in the lighting. I love the juxtaposition of the use of light "happier" colors with a rather angsty image, keep doing that (with some variation, of course), but just try darkening up the shadows in immediate backgrounds, folds, crevasses and recesses for a more sinister/menacing/dynamic air. (Think comic noir.)

Other than that tiny suggestion, I love it and you're doing everything right. :) Keep up the good work.

LordofK responds:

This was an unbelievably helpful review, can't thank you enough and I'm just sorry I've responded so late.

Your advice is great, some other people have told me to use more contrast of values and colors, etc. I think that is definitely something I'll try in the future.

[The Eyes See]

Love it

I love the artwork, the colors and imagery are stunning and very powerful. There's an excellent sense of motion and energy.

Just as a matter of personal taste however, I don't care for the use of poetry in accompaniment with the picture. It gives me the feeling that in case I wasn't interpreting the image correctly the words are there to point me in the right direction, rather than allowing the art to speak for itself. (Which it definitely does very well.)

Obviously though, this detail isn't a big enough factor to take away the beauty of the art, so you still get 5/5 and 10/10 from me. Keep up the beautiful work. :)

Nice

I think the juxtaposition of a childhood icon injecting drugs intravenously is just great. :) there's just a few issues of skill, such as the little ball hand on the arm being injected, and the hand holding the needle is a little funny. The size of the feet are a bit different too, but that's not a ruinous detail really.

Other than those small details, I think this is great. :) Keep up the good work.

[Two Bloaks]

Love it :)

I love this style, it's very classic somehow, very calculated and clean yet still looking gritty and organic. Nice use of colors too, seems I usually see more muted tones with this kind of art.

Keep up the good work. :)

JWBalsley responds:

Thanks a lot, it was originally just a doodle in a sketchbook, but I colored it for fun. Usually i like to use bright colors but I can see how this would also look good muted.

[CHRISTMAS 19]

Not great

3 points for clean style and decent skills in digital media, though it's true that your style and technique could use some refining which is fine. The thing I couldn't get past was that I felt the concept was unoriginal and quite overused to be honest. I'm a big fan of comedic juxtaposition, but this is cliche even down to the use of a Pop Tart as the specific type of sweet. I just think the drawing is in want of a fresher concept/punchline.

[Zooey Deschanel]

Wow!

It looks just like her! It could still use some work, but I never expect a portrait to look 100% perfect. Still, very very good. Keep it up. :)

JoshSummana responds:

Lol nah it wasnt supposed to be finished, It only took an hour

[A friend]

This is fantastic....

I'm a serious sucker for vibrant colors and contrast. You didn't go crazy with contrasting colors, but it's good because it makes the picture feel more pretty instead of just striking. I was however transfixed for a few moments just looking at the vibrancy of your color choice, especially with the flowers, feathers and butterflies and how they interact with the nice Earth tones elsewhere. Amazing job.
