Isvus's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vanessa]

Ayy, this is cool! I like the rendering of the muscles in her arm and side. Very solid job there.

HairyScarecrow responds:

Thank you!

[Klonoa!!!]

I have never heard of the game before, but I'm glad I have now. I like the chonky layers of light to dark. How did you do that, anyway?

something-cutiefly responds:

Thanks for the comment! I used a Posterize filter built into my art program over an airbrush stroke to do the effect. I hope you enjoy Klonoa if you decide to check it out! I very much enjoy it myself.

[Half-foot Shopkeeper Gift]

Her posture looks really fluid and natural. I also really like all the detail you put into the stuff on the shelves behind her. Backgrounds deserve more love.

HenLP responds:

Thank you very much. Backgrounds are still something I struggle with, especially when it's less natural and requires more details, not something I can fuck around with texture brushes just yet.

[Legendary Catch]

Is this Woe, Plague Be Upon Ye? Because I saw it and instantly my meme neurons fired in subconscious recognition

RaynLikeRain responds:

I guess I should've made it less blurry but there's a fishing line that's snatched her bikini >.<

[Acerola's cute pose]

This is indeed a cute pose. I know this sounds weird but I like the shadows specifically around her kneecaps. Really helps give it more depth and definition.

theCAZTman responds:

I'm glad you liked the scene! Thank you.

[Vickie Fanart]

Beg pardon, I'm afraid my computer has a hard enough time running the 90 gigabyte monstrosities released by major games studios these days WITH a graphics card.

RaynLikeRain responds:

Sounds like a plan if she eats that one then you just get a new one that can run games, simple right? ;P

[Falling Star]

Man, I've seen a few of your works with this character and it's making me curious about her. Is there like a larger backstory I'm missing, or is it up to the imagination?

mich-spich responds:

The main backstory for now is related to survival in space and revenge/ redemption between the two sisters. They're not human, but rather made out of space materials. I am still piecing a lot of it together but most is up to imagination. Some backstory is given in the other pieces, mainly in my animation which started off this whole thing.

[Art Requests! (#18) Lettucedrawstuff]

Hey, I thought I'd ask; how do you normally do your art? I see some pencil construction lines here and there and it made me wonder. Do you have specific tools you prefer to use or do you just use any pen/pencil/marker you have? Your lines are always thick but they're always really consistent in width too.

Squidster491 responds:

I primarily sketch these with Pencil, go back and fill the lines with a deeper graphite pencil for the final outline, color it in with Colored Pencils and/or permanent marker, and finally, I go over it once more with the deeper graphite pencil to fix the outline if any details got over-smeared by color or are obstructed by color. It makes it look more cartoony, which is my goal. I hope this helps!

[Forest]

I need to work on backgrounds too. I like forest landscapes so much but I'm so bad at drawing them ;~;

Gaetkeeper responds:

Trust me, I know your pain.

[Spike Pit]

Ough, nice 2-point perspective here. Always nice to see.

BenthicAWG responds:

Thank you, I appreciate it! Twas fun
