Oink-Moo's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Don't Hit Your Wife]

Hahaha that sucks! xD I laughed so hard. I love your toons. Keep up the awesome work.

ToonHole responds:

Thanks! If you keep lookin at 'em, I'll keep makin' em

[Game Slave]

I think I've seen your art before, and I love your women. *_*

The shading and proportions are excellently coordinated, even though the latter are a little crazy in some places you brought them together very gracefully. And did I mention I love the shading?

Also candles. Very well done drawing all around. :)

viscioushero responds:

You possibly have on deviantART, and I'm glad.

Thank you very much! My proportions can be quite off-hand sometimes and I see that. I try to make things wild but easy on the eyes.

[Mommy]

Very cool

Very well done. You seem to have accomplished everything you set out to based on your author's comments, and elsewhere there isn't anything to complain about in the picture itself. The style is great, colors are great, theme is excellent. No major critical shortcomings as far as I can tell.

Keep up the excellent work. :)

Michael1957 responds:

Thank you, very much. With comments like that, my head is going to swell like the breast of the mother in my picture.

[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. :)

XwaynecoltX responds:

Thank you

I kinda like the texture style it seems to give something differant, i tend to use something alot in differant art pieces of mine, anyways thank you for the review.

[dong]

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

[Hazmat]

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.

[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.

[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

[summer]

Lovely

The colors in this are really stunning, and the contrast is really nice. All I can say is just... wow, this really caught my eye, very intense.

Btw, is that colored pencil? or watercolor?

ggiissee responds:

hey, THX ! ^^ neither colored pencil nor watercolor but pastels =)
i'm not very happy with the sky's result even tho' i loved the water.

Again, THX! for the review

[Language Barrier]

Dynamic :)

The first thing I thought of when I saw this wasn't that it was a "feminist propaganda" or anything about "man-hating" (man-hating material and feminist messages don't tend to be so open to interpretation--heck, the artist might even be CONDONING verbal abuse of women); it actually reminds me of an article I read recently about "slut-bashing," where a person is ridiculed for alleged behavior (or lack thereof) and called a slut or whore, and it can be extremely harmful and even lead to suicide.

I'm not going to interpret the piece, since for all I know the only purpose was to entertain with no deep inner "meaning" intended. I will say I noticed the repetition of words, since as someone else pointed out there are many slurs out there to choose from, especially targeting women. Altogether I loved it, very colorful and strong. Good work. :)

skarl3tte responds:

Thanks for your refreshing review. Whether anyone believes it or not, I had no feminist message in mind while making this piece. I chose a woman as the 'victim' simply because I could think of more curse words for women when I made this. If I were to redo this piece with a specific message in mind, I think I would have made the guy another girl. :p
