Havegum's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[MAD-CYBORG]

What ashman said

Well, It's okay I suppose, just a couple of things.
The shadow on the floor doesn't match the person properly, the shadow has some weird glow/blur effect that doesn't work out in the edges, (see under head, and where the face meets the mask at the top)
His legs are like gigantic compared to the rest of his body .. I understand that its style and that's how megaman looks, but that's just too much, imagine walking around in those ...

Also the helmet/mask thing isn't symmetrical and neither is his arms. on top of that, the circle with the red thing on his left side of his head looks like it should be extruded from the helmet, yet it isn't ...

Hope it helped, have a nice day!

Oh-Sama responds:

HMM THAT'S THE REVIEW I WAS WAITING FOR.
THANKS KID A LOT, MY DRAWING WILL IMPROVE WITH THIS HELPFUL TUTORIAL.
CHECK MY OTHER PIECES AND TELL ME MORE ABOUT MY MISTAKES.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A POWERFUL ABILITY OF GOOD CRITICISM!
BUT WHEN REVIEWING TRY TO BE NICE.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I WAS WORKING ON MY ART AND ONLY WITH
A DIRTY MOUSE I EVEN CAN'T CONTROL (:D)

Mreh

I cant really tell whats happening, perhaps its because i dont know what meth is, but still.
First thing that strikes me is the white background, it doesn't take much to add a simple background, be it a flat colored shape or a more complex background with clouds and houses and such - at least not compared to what it does to the entire image.

Another thing that strikes me is the lines, they are all dodgy, and one can see the pixels. On top of that one can see white pixels and lines that goes longer than they should around where the eyes and hair meet.

Third, theres no shading, which can be a choice of style, but i think this drawing would be better with shading.

also her head is oversized and her nose is a potato.

I believe you can do better, try to take more time.

Whispydriftythings responds:

:I I did it on paint on my laptop I wasn't trying to make some master creation.
none the less thanks I suppose.

[Venomous Mike]

It's okay

Theres a couple of things I would've changed though.
First, the background, it looks like some kind of explosion? or fire? problem is i cant really tell, try getting your hands on images of real backgrounds and referencing those.

Second, anatomy. I dont know whats wrong with the head, but something is because the head feels unbalanced to me. And the nose is very big. Also, something feels abit odd about that arm there, although again, i cant tell what it is .. so sorry about that :P

third theres some inconstistancy in the whole thing, like hair, glasses and armor being textured and detailed with small slim lines, whilst the body have bolder lines and the skin has less texture.

Overall I think its okay, but could've been slightly better!
Good job though!

CrispyBrain responds:

Nose is supposed to be big, he has a honker! :D

The hair's not textured by the way... that was all me >_> Armor is mostly just bold coloring and some burn/smudge/filters. Goggles also weren't textured, that's all me again.

[Stranded on the mountains]

looks shopped!

I am speechless! good thing that doesn't affect my typing abilities!
How long did this monster take to create? (Also, how big is it, and do you still have i?)

Mischie responds:

Thanks Havegum. I started out as a pure matte painting and it was ridiculously huge, I can't remember the dimensions since I lost that version but it was a 3GB file. After that I scaled it down to the required dimensions of 5100x2700 pixels and added the painted elements. I scaled it down further for Newgrounds a bit smaller than 1080p. I had 4 weeks to complete this project, although with the 6 other art courses I didn't have all that time to work on it although I'm happy with the results. I have version 4 to 20 of this file.

[Demonic P-Bot]

AWESO!

P-bot is aweso!

How long did rendering take?

Jean-Raymond responds:

you made some scratch music on this man

[Sparta]

No ...

This is missing perspective, shading & lightning, proper colors and a high-quality .png file instead of the lossy .jpg file ...

Also, the soliders looks like copypasta work ...

[AFGS "The Youngsters"]

I wanna blue suit!

Great! just GREAT!

Altho, fishboy looks sad ...

Daverom responds:

he is sad he is a fish, and not a real boy

[a night]

Oh noes!

Oh noes! Manga has entered newgrounds!
(But serously, the forum HATES anime/manga artists unless they are GOD at it ...)

Overall nice work, especially if it was drawn with mouse!
Hair needs more details, shading and higlights and such.
Face is okay,
Coat needs the same as the hair, detail, shading, and highligts (I would expect it to be at least SOME folds, or pockets or anything there)
The ground could use some detail, the same goes with the tree.

Overall rating: 6/10 - 4/5
Needs more details.
