ADR3-N's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[jebus.jpg]

It's official. Jebus = bamf. I have no other words.

[Swamp]

As mentioned, detail is fairly sparse in this massive piece, but I feel like you make even more of a statement with your light, shadow, reflection, and fog. Not really sure what else to say other than that. Got a five year old I'm having to watch atm. Nice piece!

[Bulimia]

Wow, very clean-cut, graphic, even. I'd like a less blurry aesthetic in some portions, but the fingers and nose grabbed my attention immediately. Wanting a little more crisp on the eyes, some more grit to the vomit -- but otherwise, beautiful piece.

[Emoticon Game]

Detail on the galaxy is so crisp, I can't tell if it's a photograph! Loving the watercolor aesthetic. Simply gorgeous!

[Myth]

Wow, such a huge piece! And very vivid, beautiful colors. My only complaint is the crystals on the dragon's head are a bit murky looking. Some even look blurry. Sharper, cleaner crystals would have made this a 5/5 for me.

Kaolinn responds:

Thank you so much for your words, and yes, I agree. For some reason I thought that smudging them out would be a good idea at the time, but wouldn't do it again if I were to rework the image.

[Figure in Fog]

This looks creepy as hell. Some kid of ritual circle, surrounded by totems, in a dark foggy forest! The woman stands out just a bit more than her immediate surroundings, but you've used light and shadow very well to direct our eyes where they need to go to understand the context.

[Scarier Than Slender]

Slender's scared of Batman? Heh, who knew!

Piece sort of looks like it's been done in Flash 8 plus a blur tool. I find myself wanting sharper contrast at those edges and somewhat thinner lines. Nevertheless, nice work. :)

[Oil rig]

Very rarely have I ever seen a pixel piece capture so aesthetically and vividly a subject. Nice work on the light reflections in the waves, in particular.

[Creepy Doll]

I found myself wanting sharper detail in the hair, seeing the fine lines in the doll's face. Hair is one of those things I really focus in on, too. You've done a wonderful job with color and light, though. Great work!

[Forever hold your peace...]

As mentioned already, groom's head is huge in the final panel. Otherwise, this piece brings back memories. Great storyboarding. Easy to understand what's going on.
