Sr-Estroncio's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mami Tomoe]

This is my favorite one of your series, the feel in this is perfect.

lilHeart responds:

Wow, Thank you so much~! >w< I'm glad. QwQ

[Akemi Homura]

This is really cool. I like how you paint and the anatomy looks really good.

The use of tears in all of the drawings of this series is really awesome, It fits the mood of the anime really well.

Keep it up!

lilHeart responds:

Thank you very much! ^u^ Painting is my fave part of the process. Playing with colors and all.
Yeah, the tears do fit the mood but I didn't intend for all of them to cry, it just kind of happened. XD Maybe because it really is so fitting.

Thank you, I'll keep trying! :)

[Soon to be prince]

I love her hair, great work!

laisita responds:

Thanks so much

[Cribal Battle]

I don't really get the design here. Why are these women charging butt-naked into battle? How do they have actual blades and yet zero armor? Are there actual reasons for this, or is it sex and violence for sex and violence's sake? What is the story here?
I'm not going to give this a low score, after all I'm supposed to be judging the artwork, which is very well done, but seriously, what is the idea here?

Trebuxet responds:

The costume of this characters are based in some Southamerican and Oceanic tribes who fight with obsididan or bone knifes and without armor (obviously the warriors are males)

Have you wonder how a character can throw magic power beams with her/his hands? or how a character can fly through the sky? destroying worlds, teletransport etc.

C'mon dude, is just fantasy :D

[Bloomers]

This is really amazing. I look forward to seeing the rest of the series, keep up the awesome work, mate!

YakovlevArt responds:

Thanks for the encouragement =]

[Vanity Be Thy Name]

I see what you were going for in this painting. And I like it. However, there are a couple of things I want to point out.
If this character is female, the shoulders are a bit too bulky, it makes her look a bit masculine.
And about the shading, I think you should make the dark and light tones contrast a bit more, make the dark bits darker and the light bits lighter, I think the shade placement is great but the shading looks a little bland.

Do keep it up, mate, I think with enough practice you're going to do some unbelievably good stuff!

STONECREED responds:

Your review is much appreciated... I was actually using this as shading practice, and I often get told on my work that I should make the lines more apparent, though I have not yet mastered that without making them TOO apparent... Also, this background was just a quickie, on a count that I am horrid at imaginary landscapes...
Thanks for the review... Actual reason I posted this here was to gain opinions on my work so I could iron out the flaws...
One last thing as well... I was trying to make the muscles seem more exaggerated so I could try out my shading "skills" if you can call them that...
Enjoy your day/night. And thank you for such an expanded review as to what I usually expect, I appreciate it...

[personal piece]

Looks amazing, how did you do the white outline?

Hope this helped you deal with your feelings, sadness can really get in the way of drawing sometimes...

AkiCarlito responds:

i did the white outline with a white gel pen.
the paper itself was a light grey so it helped show the white ink.

yeah it helped a little

[Paimon]

I feel like this is an improvement from the rest of your work, girl looks a bit plasticky though, maybe choosing a darker color for those highlights (a lighter tone of blue instead of pure white) or blending the highlights would help. Do you consider blending the colors instead of cell-shading? I think the results could look quite good.

Keep it up, mate!

bocodamondo responds:

i allways do sharp shading in flash. and more realistic-like blurry shading in photoshop

[Umbrella from Skullgirls]

With a mouse?! Good grief, you are a patient man.

Also Umbrella ftw.

GumDisease responds:

Haha yea, it took quite a while.

Woo Umbrella! \o/ (even tho I'm not that big a fan, she just seemed like the easiest to draw... *coughs*)

[Quick concept]

What is ''very sketchy'' about this exactly?

Looks very good! Her dress-thing looks a bit dull to me(in color, I mean), but that might be just because, as you said, this is a quick concept.

AkiCarlito responds:

the lines xD
i didnt take as much time on the linework as i usually would for pieces like this.

i tend to use really large canvases and focus on very small details lol so i cant handle if the lines are not equal etc
