Isvus's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Contrapposto from Behind]

The contours of the back, shoulders, and jaw look really good. I'm not the most experienced with accurately rendering skin, and it might just be a stylistic choice, but the sharp highlights give the impression of a very high sheen that you don't get unless the skin is wet/greasy. I should try my hand at this sort of thing-- there's a lot of pliable muscle and fat in the body that I've thus far kind of ignored like a gremlin XD.

BrandonP responds:

Thanks for the critique!

[A Better Tomorrow for Touhou]

I know practically nothing about Touhou so I've unfortunately missed the reference, but I recognize a Browning hi-power when I see one XD. Real recognizes real.

Bosske responds:

If you seen A Better Tomorrow by John Woo then you will get the reference, the Touhou character are there for lolz and fit in

[Unwielded Identity [OC]]

I like the color palette and her expression. She looks like she's trying to decide whether to smile or scowl.

takoluka responds:

Thank you! That was kinda what I was going for :D

[As the Seasons Pass]

Great work on the backgrounds. I like Candace and Lutetian's especially.

M4rsh-M3l0dy77 responds:

Thank you so much! I tried to make the backgrounds related to their stories.

[Elma - Xenoblade X]

The background really adds to this. Works really well with the horizontal tilt of the viewing frame and the angle of her legs/sword.

RaynLikeRain responds:

Thank you! I'm glad people are enjoying the background so much!! :D

[Kat]

You know, I played Paper Lily a little. I played until I woke up in the first dream. Instead of exploring the attention-grabbing white sprites against a black background, I walked off into the void. Then Lily said she felt uneasy. But I assumed it was just the game trying to dissuade me so I marched her into the infinite abyss and she lost her mind. I haven't picked the game back up since then...

SamrIllust responds:

I remember that scene. I also attempted to leave it as well to see the outcome. Def recommend getting back into it.

[That one extra]

The Harbinger of the Apocalypse. Actually the fact that she's even SURVIVED those two incidents is crazier than just being there XD

OneGrumpyLumpy responds:

I can still just decide she died in chapter 7 if I don't feel like drawing her again (or if I forget)

[Sky Gone Black]

Oh shit I really like this one :D

I both respect and fear people who can do watercolors.

AntonM responds:

hehe thanks, we are very dangerous people

[[Commission] Stolen Goods]

Sneaky little rat otter. I remember misidentifying the other illustration as the Eminem throwing things meme and I will never live that down.

RaynLikeRain responds:

But what if now the Otter is called Eminem and is throwing it? That way it was prophetic

[Vanny and GGY - FNAF AU]

Bro, you coulda told me this was voice-of-god canon and I wouldn't have been able to tell. I fell off the Five Nights at Freddy's train after the first game, so seeing the release of some things like the movie has been uh. Whiplash. Anyway, I think this is really cute and even if the premise was faked, it SHOULD be official because it's dope lmao

JonathanPT responds:

I tried to keep it within the realm of plausibility considering everything so far.
