Angry-Hatter's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Suess]

Really nice!

Doesn't really look chibi though, looks more or less like normal manga proportions to me. With chibi, the head is a lot bigger in proportion to the body, between 1 to 1.5 and 1 to 3 ratio.

Anyway, looks adorable! Nice clean, simple lines and tight colors. A job well done!

bocodamondo responds:

yeah i know its not fully chibi style, but compared to my usual proportions i draw this is more chibi-like

[Yubaba]

Really pretty!

One nitpick about the lighting: the light hitting Yubaba's right side is a cold blue, but the light hitting Chihiro's right side is a warm yellow. Why? It looks a little inconsistent.

Other than that, great work!

[Terrance!]

He reminds me of David Letterman somehow. :)

[genie]

From the looks of it, this genie has been doing a few stomach crunches.

Nice work!

[The End]

Love it. The mushroom cloud in the window is very subtle, so it takes you a moment to notice it and realize the full implication of the scene. The rough, sketchy style of the window makes it almost seem like it's vibrating with the force of the blast in the distance, or is it perhaps only a reflection of the emotional state of the child in the window as he/she witnesses the disaster? Speedpaint or no, this is a terrific piece.

Surfsideaaron responds:

Thanks a heap :)

[Draw this Again: NoseSing]

Neat! That's quite a bit of progress in just 16 months. You still have some kinks to work out, but you've definitely improved. Impressive. Keep up the good work!

[Donna Orechini ("Master Copy")]

Really cool. Though, if it were me making this, I would add some texture to the piece before I'd consider it finished. Looking at the original piece, it looks like it might be a wall painting with it's rich textures and slight imperfections. Your piece looks every bit a computer generated image by comparison (read, too perfect). I'm not sure whether your teacher cares about it looking that way or if you're limited by what tools you may use in making your piece, but I'd like to add something more to it to make it pop.

Which is what I did. Check your PM inbox to see the quick little edit I made to your piece to show you what I mean.

Great work, regardless. Looks terrific!

AlexierXVII responds:

Thanks for the critique. Yea I did want to add more texture, but i was running out of time and didn't even get the inner circle behind her head completely finished. But I am still proud with how this came out for the most part, but I know this could still be better. Plus we were limited by what was available in Adobe Illustrator and I've actually done nothing like this before. And again, thanks for the review, I very much appreciate this, it really helps me to become a better artist.

[Lord X]

Lord Variable?

Hah, algebra joke.

Really cool character though.

[The Detective]

Aha, excellent revision. His eyes look much more like him, and much kinder than before, and the proportions are more life-like. From the looks of it you also made some changes to the lips and nose so he has less of a smirk, and added some nice shading and reflected lighting. A real improvement.

Great job!

(Still dying to know how he managed to survive that fall GOD DAMN IT!!)

bigCman321 responds:

Thanks, yes I literally redid the entire face bit by bit. :)

Yeah that ending is ridiculous. It better be one amazing explanation when they tell us... If they tell us.

[Intro]

Very beautiful girl, like a magical pixie in a meadow. I must say that this one looks a little bit rough and sketchy in some places, and almost looks like a speed-painting. By that standard it's still very good, but I can definitly see room for improvement in this. The biggest problem in my opinion is her frame; she looks awfully square and shapeless with her dress like that, and at first I almost couldn't tell if she was standing with her hands in front of her, or if she had her hands behind her with her head turned around.

I love the color palette however, and if you just clean it up a little and make some tweaks to her pose and posture, this could be another really great one from you.

Nice work!
