Knocturne's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[A-Bot WIP]

Really nice

I wish you would crop that guy out of thist piece, his lack of polish does greatly diminish the quality of this. I understand you had an accident but still...

[Robot Battle]

Tis' nicely done

The simplicity of the background actually causes the eye to focus on the battlin' scorpion-esque bots, I like how the detail is concentrated in the center of the battle and I like the strict color pallet.

[Wish You Were Here]

Lookin good

My only problems are that the background's lack of detail clashes instead of compliments the foreground, then the robot's lack of foreground errr background makes it look like it's hovering. So instead of being a complete drawin it looks like someone made a desktop background out of two pictures.

Good

But you should always at least mention when you use references.

I'm pretty sure, no, one hundred percent sure you referenced this http://pixelatedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1199506622057.jpg

Interesting

Nice take on this anime character, I think it's great you did it semi-realistically with very solid proportions, the only thing I think bugs me is how the head is turned, it doesn't really make sense, but aside from that it's wonderfully done.

[Lost]

Dude!

Your coloring technique is good but your proportions, especially the eys... I know anime has a style to it and proportions are distorted for fun but LORD.

I'd say work on your anatomy a bit more, use references and calm down those fricken plates on her face.

TheSillyStoic responds:

Ehh, giant eyes are my thing so XD If its not your thing I understand, I realize these eyes are like impossibly huge. Its like girls I draw are nocturnal with such large eyes XD Anyways, I understand I need to work on proportions/anatomy a bit, I've noticed that her waist seems a bit too high to me after looking at some more among some other things. Thanks for the review and criticism :D

[Vivi Ornitier]

Pretty neat

Wish I there was a bit more texture to him, right now he looks like he's out of a cut scene from FF7 (no I mean like FF7s graphics because 9 was an improvement).

I see by your gallery you do these kinds of fan art semi-frequently, I'd prefer you taking the character and making it your own, but that's just preference.

pupuhugr responds:

I don't agree... hes very textured, burlap, wool, and leather, with even stitching. Did you zoom in? The quality did lower when I posted it on NG. I think you should play ff7 and ff 9 again. I wouldn't really want to make quite an iconic character like this my own, If I was doing one of the black waltz mages, maybe, but not Vivi.

[Bullet]

It stares into my soul

Pretty fresh right there, yup

[VrOUuuMmm]

Very stylish

Just looks so fun! I wish there was more to it, like a true background

[Vexon]

Lovin' it

I feel like colors would really turn this puppy into something real special, nice pose and such ;P

gmanthesandwhichking responds:

Yeah but usually whenever I color something it ends up being a fail. For this i just wanted extra emphasis on the lava and the eyes.
