AlmyriganHero's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Original Character | Charlotte Rousette]

Since you asked for feedback on the forums:

You're actually pretty good for a beginner. That's sort of common courtesy to say, but in your case there really is no IMMEDIATE flaw that stands out blatantly. Most of what's off just comes down to your sense of perspective, proportion, symmetry, and line weight being underdeveloped.

Symmetry is probably the biggest factor, and it's most obvious on the bottom picture. Her left (aka the right side of the screen) eye and breast are both noticeably higher than their counterparts, and the opposite is true of her horns, despite her shoulders being even (though her left sleeve is shorter.) Her mouth and nose are centered, but her eyes are both pushed to the left a bit too far.

Like I said, not a bad start. It lacks polish, but it always will when you first start out, no matter how many principles you technically understand. What you need most at this point isn't actually critique from others, but to develop a self-critical eye for your own flaws.

Notes Taken.

I asked for this because to my eye i tend to say it's behind some other work independent of if i've been working hard on it. So far i know my biggest problemas are some body parts such as hands, legs positioning, cltohes length (sometimes) and overall my biggest flop related to this... i have to do tthe digitalization with the mouse, so the lines issu it's because of that i have to use that to make the lines.

In any case, i'm thankful that you gave some feedback and in a very constructive way. Thank you!

Honestly looking through your gallery, what impresses me the most is how much variety you have in mediums and styles, and how all of it is decent, at worst.

On FNAF lore: it can be interesting, but I definitely feel like it's suffering from the effects of piling too much on top of too... shall we say... humble a foundation.

Thetageist responds:

Thank you so much! It took me quite a while to get to where I am now artistically, and I love to mess around with different techniques to produce different looks.

Yeah, I agree that the lore is built in a way that suggests Scott was kinda flying by the seat of his pants. Frankly I don’t care much for the canon lore itself beyond a “hehe fun fandom” way, I just like exploring the concepts that are suggested there but not touched on as much as they should be.

[Sonic (from Sonic the Hedgehog)]

It's nothing incredibly detailed, but honestly, I could almost see these being official.

TIGZON responds:

Thanks

[Prototype]

The Biolizard is easily one of the most impressive villains in the entire series. Most final bosses struggle against one Super at the absolute prime and height of their power, but even with his life support destroyed and his body practically self-destructing, this absolute MONSTER managed to fight off TWO Supers and forced one of them to sacrifice themselves to halt his plan.

...Ahem. Also, very nice drawing. The shading on the scales is really something else!

Pheep responds:

Ty!! Supporting Me is also one of my favorite songs ever.

[Nightscape]

What a lovely night to go Morbing.

Milroo responds:

Absolutely, it's a morbtastic night.

[Good Times With Weapons]

I like this look! It feels a bit sharper (no pun) and more intense than your usual stuff.

Pheep responds:

Thanks u! 😎 Tried out different brushes, Still got things I wanna improve on.

[Bridge Crossing Redrawing]

Simple, but very creative. If there's one piece of critique I can give though, the single darker pixels on both sides of the (mostly) "blank" dirt tiles looks a bit out of place, overly-symmetrical and repetitive. Either a few more variants or just removing those two pixels would make the road feel far more natural.

ShippuKirifuda responds:

Thank you and ah I see what you mean. I guess I was just trying to make it look less bland and give it a bit more of texture to it. But yea you're right doing it that way added a whole separate issue. I'll try and find a different variant first and if I don't find one that really works I'll probably just remove them. Thank you for the critique.

[Crow (DTIYS entry)]

Flawless palette

GoofballPaul responds:

Thank you! ^0^ I was trying to closely approach the original piece's palette, but in the end I gave it a twist of my own, as should be with any DTIYS imo, the original palette is also noteworthy, I really recommend checking out Crow's art on twitter! :D

[Late Evening]

I swear I legitimately thought the small thumbnail was a photo, for a second.

moertel responds:

That's probably because I chose to go with rather realistic colours this time. Normally my orange glows have a pink hue to them, and the greens would have more blue hues in the shadows.

[Peek At Chu~]

I feel like a brighter, slightly more greenish yellow suits Pikachu better, but those electrical effects are spectacular.

Pheep responds:

I followed your advice and made it more yellow, It came out good. Ty! :D
