Oink-Moo's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Roshak]

Wow, great drawing. I definitely got the "wedged" vibe, rather an "upward lunge" vibe but it certainly wasn't falling. ;) Great gesture and shading and awesome character design too. I also really love the line work, though you could do to make it a teeny bit thinner in some parts for a more dynamic look but it's just a suggestion, not a critique. Again, excellent artwork.

Armaina responds:

Thanks! I'm so glad it conveys well! and I get what you mean in regards to dynamics. properly placed exaggerations can do a world of good.

[Miss Cowgirl]

I normally don't really care for really anime styled things like this, or the whole hugified boob thing, but this is just too cute and well done. I love the cow motif! And your line work is EXCELLENT! Everything about this drawing is great, with regards to style and quality. Well done. :D

MagicalNekoLenLen responds:

thanks~ :P

[Mystic girl]

That's really cute, I like it a lot. :) Not really anything to say about it, just that it's a lovely painting.

Museismymuse responds:

Thank you very much! :)

[Karaba and Cacus]

The detail is great, u seem to be pretty confident with character design. I only really have one critique but it's a big one for this picture: try to find a way to up the contrast and establish borders between the characters and all their different parts. The drawing looks good, but it is a little hard to sort out just because the general darkness/lightness is pretty much the same across the page. The characters and their parts blend into one another a bit too much and looking at the style I didn't assume this was a technical intention, though I guess who am I to judge?

If you do want to do that, you might try experimenting with varying line widths, such as making the lines slightly thicker around the characters themselves so you can tell clearly where each one ends and begins. Also try making your shadows a little darker or trying the 3 shade anime style shadowing instead of the only 2-shade that you seem to have here. There's nothing wrogn with 2-shade, but it can have an effect of giving everything the same depth and darkness value sometimes which may be problematic.

And of course, if none of this is any interest to you then forget it all and do what you like. Just offering some constructive feedback for a very good drawing. :) Apart from all that, again your attention to detail is excellent and your fur, hair and wrinkles are quite good. I myself despise anything having to do with cloth physics, so good on ya. Lol. Keep up the great work!

Sandragon responds:

we dont have the same taste of art at all ..im more into fantasy creepy stuff and you just draw humans . So i guess its could be a problem if ours taste is far away from eachother. I could said a lots of think that i dont like in your stuff but its none of my busyness you do what you love and that what matter.

[Hello miss]

Wow, that just looks great. I love pen work like this and you pulled it off really nicely. Did you do a light pencil sketch first or just go at it with the pen? Either way, keep up the excellent work. :D

Sevens responds:

why thank you :) I went straight with ballpoint pen, no practice lines

[Green City concept]

I love the concept, and you did a great job rendering it in pen like this. I'd love to see it cleaned up and refined. :)

Sevens responds:

it is a finished piece luv, sometimes you have to leave things the way they are... too much or too little would really take away from character, perfect isn't always the goal. but thank you, maybe i will color it and you can see since you and I am sure a few others would like to see too. :)

[Unleashed]

I like the colors a lot, they work together very nicely, and the content is definitely interesting. I didn't feel like it was really dynamic enough though -- no part of it really "pops" for me -- there's no distinct sense of action or motion and it seems to rely a bit on filters in lieu of actual detail. It's going in the right direction and certainly seems creative, it just could use a little more attention to detail. :)

Hope you could find some useful critique in there. Keep up the nice work.

SplendidDevil responds:

Thanks, I do appreciate the crit. This piece is actually just a test/prototype, the final piece is currently being tended to.

[Inkd]

I love it! !it's so simple with only the two colors, and the idea is just so cute. There's not really anything else for me to say about it because it's just perfect. 5/5! :)

juturnal responds:

Thanks Oink-Moo!

[Jaws are overrated]

Happy birthday lol.

Cool drawing, I always find myself impressed by things with fantastical structures like this attractive gentleman here. Very creative.

The only real drawback is that the background is a bit boring and unadorned, it makes the character seem out of place. It very much makes the background feel like an overt afterthought to avoid the dreaded white space.

Other than that, awesome! Keep it up.

Jaona responds:

Thanks!
That's exactly what it is for actually...I'm probably going to draw a proper background soon.

[Dead Head]

Nice. :) Clean up the style a bit, it's a little chunky and pixelated looking or something. Maybe make it more dynamic by adding some sort of background and some shadows, even if it's only a second darker tone.

Other than that looks great!

Bugdog001 responds:

Yeah, it looks that way because I drew it on paper first, scanned it, contrasted it, colored it, and then saved it as a .gif. It was originally meant for a clothing line I had, that's why there's no bg :)
