NeoD-ray's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Amazing Alligator of Country A. 118]

I like the idea that Theodore doesn't choose an alligator skin. I mean, in videogames people usually choose avatars different from how we look in real life, just for the fun of being something different for once in a while.

That's the exact thought process I had as I wrote this page :)
"Theodore's already an alligator 24/7 in real life, videogames can let people choose to experience new things, no matter who they are!"

Admit it: I'm one of the cutest girls you've ever drawn.

Ayooo, the Prince of Demons has an actually SICK design. I liked that! You've earned my extra 1/2 star for that, comrade. Congratulations.

[Sketch Dump XXIII]

I don't know why, but Frank Allaband has some meme potential.

WVDB responds:

He's iconic. I can't run a session without him as an NPC.

Wendoe is about to hit the climax.

Now I wonder what a 2% human and 98% alligator would be like.

[Lady of the Swamp]

Normally I'm paid to give my PROFESSIONAL feedback, but uhm... we are best friends, so I guess I can make an exception this time.

Also, I don't think you want feedback regarding creativity, as I think it's pretty simple and not very interesting content wise. So in order to not prolong my upper trapezius and lower back pain, I'll jump straight to the feedback regarding technique, comrade.

The lady's left arm is in an uncomfortable position, like it's slightly bending or moving. Considering her right one, which is straight, I can assume she's in a relaxed position. However, the contortion of the right leg also seem to indicate some kind of slight movement.
If that was not the intent (a slight movement), then you should be more consistent with the pose. If it was, then it's working.
Maybe the right leg is SLIGHTLY longer than what the left one looks like, but is barely noticeable.

I don't particularly enjoy the lack of more "marked" shadows, as it makes the whole scene feel flat. However, the not so straight line of the pencil (tool) used, fits this lack of marked shadows, as (although not looking perfect) it feels consistent. Looks like a sketch basically, which was probably your aim I suppose.
For instance, the swamp water could use a more darker tone in the middle to easily indicate the deepness of the pond. Here the darker spots are seemingly random.

The weight of the elements is kind of unbalanced since the tree on the left extends too much out of the scene (at least according to the first artwork), and the lady could look better if moved slightly to her left, since there's a lot space and it won't be too close to the tree.

Can't say much about the use of colors because... well... they are pretty simple and consistent with the whole "sketchy" context of the artwork. So putting a super bright RED for instance would feel totally out of place. So yeah, it's alright, I guess.
Could have been better if the lady had some colors, but the white "aura" she emits works too as it centers the attention of the viewer to her even more.

What can say: it's far from a respectable finished piece, but the foundation works (even without my corrections).

I'll give it 3 Sammontana stars out of 5.

[Concept work [I]]

I'm not the hoping type of guy, but I'm hoping for the latter too. This one looks very interesting.

[False Profit]

Glad to see FP back comrade. He has always been my favorite!
Still prefer his "Origin" form more, but the "Angel" one is cool too.

This guy needs a comic, or a context of some sort.

Thanks Shenaniganza. I had to explain to a friend why I had this image at the top of my feed.

Shenaniganza responds:

You're welcome.
