DevilRat's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[A restaurant]

Wow, this is a huge improvement.... When it comes to shade, like I said.... Reduce the air brush shading, and avoid using pillow shading ( When you brighten everything in the center or darken everything in the center ) Try to put a focal point.... I am seeing a ton neater lines..... What I remember you told me, you use Pencil 2D.... Use a digital painting or line work focused program, not animation. Free Alternatives: Krita, Fire Alpaca, Medibang, ( InkScape for Vectors over pixels )....

When you are shading. Shift the color of the shadow and the highlight. There is a warm side, and also there is a cool side. You can shade with warmth, or cool.... I am very hyped you are using perspective..... Though look up reference photos ( all artists use them ) and practice it everyday and you will get better... I find this is a tad rough around the edges, but a dramatic step up in the right direction.... Look up tutorials on color values and digital painting...... Try to experiment with your line artwork by putting a color to it.

Kdenye responds:

thanks for the advice. I used paint 3D on this one and I got an idea from a restaurant like pizzeria but still thanks :).

[Wild Lands Roamer]

It looks pretty good. I am shocked how you are getting some nicer coloring what I can see. I do not know if I am considered a furry, but I would roam her wild lands.

CowFz responds:

Happy to hear that you think my shading is getting better overtime, and everyone found has little furry inside them... i think.. i dont know... maybe... eh. :P

[vonk]

Did you monochrome to color? As the face doesn't seem right with the shading not shifting hues enough.

inknmass responds:

actually I just went for it. I had a rough sketch and then on a separate layer I just began to add color. Hope that helps.

[Hour of Frost]

Reminds me of Borderlands 2 when you first start the game. :)

CowFz responds:

True there were quite a few big ice monsters there

[Journey with me]

Nice coloring..... I can tell you are not fimilar with the pose. As I find it odd, but everything seems pretty flat on the characters, but then again can forgive considering how hard 2d-like poses are. I find any side views difficult to draw, but stuff looking 3D easier.... The rays of light kinda look.... non-existient, if want a painter background, and you want to see the rays of light... Try to cut deeper on the edges, and also.... customize your brush choices...

CowFz responds:

Thanks man I really do appreciate constructive feedback think the poses looked off cause of how flat they do kinda look, added more shading and tweaked around the lighting a bit, think it improved the piece overall.

[Stellar]

Could use slightly more muted colors, and softer contrast, while sharpening areas of importance, but pretty good overall....

KaileahPNelson responds:

thank you!

[Naughty Little Imps]

More on the lines of adult, but very fucking good. I am always impressed with glow tatoos, as it's impossible or infuriating to paint that.

CowFz responds:

In my experience glowing effects are better off painted in last

[Shadows Siblings]

Very good, but I see you are coming back to newgrounds what I can tell with your artwork... I love the aesthic you went with, but value wise. The right angel wing should be a complete shadow or complete lightness. As it shares a common shade with the rest... But otherwise very good with the characters.

KaileahPNelson responds:

Actually the brother (right angel) is OC that I drew about 5 years ago, while the sister was a newer character. The room as well was another drawing that 4 years old. I just combined them into one. I did another version that has blue hues and his wings are much more noticeable.

[Ever Onward]

Ha, I love it how amusing it is to see her laziness and his strength.

CowFz responds:

One of them is born with the power of never skipping leg day
