Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Inktober Week 2: Day 9 - 15]

These pieces are really good! I love the minimalistic color scheme here, it's very dramatic and emphasizes the action or the intensity very well. These character and creature designs are also very well-done, and I really can't see any flaws in the posing and proportions. Good job with the dynamic poses, by the way. Overall a very good post. Personal note: the first character kinda resembles something that could come out of the Bleach manga (I think I know one character I'm likely thinking of specifically that she kinda looks like), but not quite. I think you might potentially like Bleach, it's funny but also tastefully intense and has some interesting character designs you might enjoy.

[Mayura]

Consider yourself followed! This is overall a very beautiful piece, even discounting me being a sucker for glowy aesthetic stuff. I really can't find any things to work on with this art. I really love the detailed and accurate highlights and shading. While the color scheme is technically under the jurisdiction of the people who made the show, there's something about how you made the lighting look and the exact shades you used in this artwork that is just right. Keep up the good work! Now if I could stop forgetting to watch more Miraculous Ladybug...

[CDC - Hawaiian Dancer]

As always, I love the execution of the art, with the shading and whatnot. However, I do have a couple questions related to design and physics. One, a lot of the women you draw seem to have the same body type (aka curvy), so maybe it might be fun to step outside your previous habits a little with the next piece of art. The second question is more about this piece of art specifically. So are their clothes being moved by their dancing or their magic? Because if they are dancing quickly (which I don't know enough about traditional Hawaiian dancing to be able to say whether they'd likely be doing so), I doubt that Makani's chest wrap and Kamea's chest... scarf are going to stay on. Also, all those ribbons that look like airplane seat belts might interfere with Kamea's dancing. I really like these designs otherwise, and from what I do know about traditional Hawaiian dancing, the poses also look somewhat accurate. This is overall a pretty good piece of art, as per usual for DatCakeIsEhPai.

[Ninja Cat Kunoichi]

Question: Is balancing a milk carton on one's boobs physically possible? Anyway, this is a very nice artwork. I quite like her design and how you stuck to mainly pink with some blue accents. The artwork also seems to convey a basic sense of her personality. The milk carton kinda sticks out, being the only thing not in the red or blue color families, which is a nice touch. Her left hand seems a little big, especially in comparison with her forearm, but that's just a tiny nitpick. I shall use this drawing as a reference for getting backlighting correct in the future, as I'm currently working on an art piece that uses it.

DatCakeIzEhPai responds:

Answer: Idk, I'm bad at physics. Thanks for the heads up on the hands. Originally I thought it was too small. I sorta have some tendency to exaggerate some body part more than it should. I'll keep it in mind with my future work. Once you done with your art piece, let me know about it :)))

[Rottenella]

Me once again misinterpreting things at first sight, this looked like Twilight Sparkle fanart. This is a very nice piece of art. The only thing I notice is that it appears to gradually get less polished the farther down in the drawing one looks. Like, the face and hair and the skin in general are very well done, but the shading on the tights and skirt is somewhat less solid in comparison to the rest, and the legs have little bits of color that made it past the lines. It could be a style thing, except the whole artwork isn't like that, so it looks a little incongruous. Very good grasp of anatomy poses, and hair here. I quite like this art overall.

LiamGlow responds:

i did't planned color past the lines but this happens. i alway trying to fix it, but sometimes i just didn't notice this. I look at this art again and really render is strange. Thanks for critic, i really need it.

[DnD Com]

Oh, I love this! I immediately perked up upon seeing that it was something D&D related. I haven't done research into the monsters in the game, however, so pardon me asking if this is "canon" or homebrew and what it is. Whatever it is, it's very well drawn and very dynamically drawn. I can see so much motion in this picture, and it really brings this creature to life. The light and shading is very well done, I can definitely see a three-dimensional creature here. Overall very nicely done.

[The Hurt Incantation]

I really like this art. It's very well done and I love the way the hair is drawn, I would totally use this as a reference for figuring out how to draw hair doing this tentacle thing. Only criticism I have is I don't know the Tangled TV series, so I'd have liked a little explanation of what this was, because I was about to ask you, "Is this vent art? Are you okay?" and embarrass myself badly :P

LiamGlow responds:

Sorry for my English
So.
This illustration for moment from tangled adventures. You know
Rapunzel's healing song this is sun Incantation and i didn't see all episodes but they found some scroll and and there was been sun Incantation and moon Incantation. Rapunzel decided to test it and this happen.Search on youtube "The Hurt Incantation" and you will see it. I can give you a link somehow. I don't know how this social network works. Well i think it's the first and last time when i draw hair so good exept if it's fine on other my art One of the Youtubers use it on her cover. And this not a vent art i'm fine but thank you for care. And you gave me an idea for art. This is actually not the first version of this art. It's fix version.I leveled it and add noise.

[Arquia]

I quite love her design! The only thing I must say is that she looks like she'd be hard to draw over and over again, as is needed for a comic. However, if you think you can do it, then go ahead. I like the way the snowflakes are drawn - it makes it look a bit more realistic than the standard six-pointed star thing. On top of that, you gave her a low cut top without making her look overly sexualized, so props to that. This piece of art overall makes me want to know more about the character. The more I look, the more I discover, and I really like that.

[Eh]

Hey, this is pretty interesting for the first piece of your art that I've ever clicked on. Only thing I can say for criticism is I'm confused about what she's sitting on, I think it's a wall but it seems like her legs are in front of it instead of on top of it. Otherwise, this is a nice piece of artwork. Realistic clothing, proportions, etc is something I've been trying to work on, so that's part of what caught my eye first. Interesting contrast between the dark red palette of the character and the blue and magenta... smoothie thing. That drew my eye to the smoothie thing and that's what made my brain register completely that this is definitely in an urban fantasy type world. The shading is very well done as well, it looks like a lot of attention was paid to the different ways that light reflects off of different things. Overall, this art makes me want to know more about the character in it. Looking forward to seeing more!

GhoulKitten responds:

Well, welcome to my stuff! I hope you like some of it lol.

I'm confused on what she's sitting on too, lmaooo. Thanks for the review, look forward to more. :)

[Coolkitten13's Art trade]

I get that about Mermay. I tried Inktober once and got way too busy to do it. I rather like this piece of art, it makes me want to know a bit more about this character. Hence, I shall check out Coolkitten13's stuff now. I'll probably refine my review when I'm less brain-dead so that there's actual constructive criticism in here like I normally do.

DatCakeIzEhPai responds:

Thank you so much for that. Happy that you could check her out. I was under quite some pressure with exam and final so I really couldn't do mermay daily, only a couple.
