Kinsei's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Bloody Ghost]

Better Than The Last One I Reviewed

But that still isn't much. You still lack any sort of grasp of anatomy or the basics of art.
Look up some tutorials, buy some art books, or attend some art classes, and then study. At this rate you'll just fall in to the endless abyss of crap artist.

[First art]

Crap

And that's putting it nicely.

you scribble around in Ms Paint for a few minuets and expect us to adore it? Hell no.
How about you actually go out and attempt to actually create something worth while. Actually practice some art.

There is no form, there is no design, there is nothing but scribble.

good day sir.....

[River Goblin]

o.O.....

I have to admit, I love this fantasy stuff you do.

I'd love to see you do a whole series of just various monsters.

Thanks for inspiring me to get back to work on my D&D campaign I have a Bat Troll to build :3.... long story....

[Jules]

Dude, Really?!?!

Damn..... Man, you do tqo things to me.
1) Make me feel like a shitty artist.....
2) Make me want to get better...

Awesome work. It has a painted feel. did you do this digitally or with actual paints?

gsimpson responds:

this is a digital study for the actual painting -- its quicker to try out a color palette that way.

Improvements?Improvements?Improvements?Improvement

um no....
even if there are improvements we still can't see them because of the size and low quality photo.
even the high resolution doesn't help any bit.
Go practice, Get a scanner or learn how to document your work properly, and then maybe you'll have a snowballs chance in hell.

I'm Back On The Horse Baby!

Look at my horse its a really awesome horse...
Oh wait.... wrong piece.....

Cool, moving on...

One of the firs things I want to cover is one of the weakest things in the entire piece. The star field. I'm just really not feeling it. Even for some cheesy b-movie poster, I think you could have got a little further on it. I have seen some really awesome spacescapes out there and I think you could have used one to make not only a really cool star field but also enhance the earth in the background.

The over all composition I am rather pleased about. I think even when you start to break the box with the aliens in the bottom of the piece I think it works rather well with what you are trying to achieve with those classic posters.

The line art is ok, it is alittle dull and lacking some line weight. I'm having a similar issue myself lately so I know how frustrating it can be to think that you have what you need only to find that you don't. The coloring I'm sort of ok with but the shading I am not. You used a lot of gradients with this. IN some places you went ahead and placed a secondary highlights to emphasize the shininess. I think you should have ditched the gradients and went with the strong highlights and shading, I think it would have been much more effective.

One thing that keeps catching my eye is that in some places it seems like you have a grain filter on some things. like the ball on top of the flag and the red around the title. I think this would have worked if you had made the grain much stronger concerning the highlights. You could have given it a really cheesy glitter effect which I think would have reinforced the effect of your entire poster.

I think you have a good start and some cool stuff to work with here. Keep it up.

Luwano responds:

Dude what an awesome horse you got there.... wow...

Erm... ya about your review:

Good point with the star field, I knew that it was not worked out pretty well, but I did not realize how it kinda clashes with my earth. I saw that the "style" of the planet and the space background clashes with the rest in the foreground by the way. :P

In fact, the idea of breaking the box was directly taken from some original movie posters. And I'm glad that you like the composition.

About the lines, this was my first finished work with Inkscape and I didn't know anything about line weight to be honest (even now I don't know a lot about it either).

The shading.... yes ouch.... I used many gradients. I promise to refrain from them in the future. I only shaded manually on the clothes of the alien (a little) and most of the white parts of the suit. Also the "shiny" parts on the visor and on top of the flag pole.

I actually used a grain filter on the finished pic, but i did not set it strong enough. It's also noticable on the the helmet visor in full view.

In addition to your review, the perspective on the chest piece is off.

Thank you very much for your review!

And hey, whose horse is that over there? It looks kinda awesome....

[Friday Flood]

Awesome

Per Usual.
I really need you to do a line art tutorial one day.

Fifty-50 responds:

I will. When I learn how to. :P

[kid draw : doom]

Bad...

It really is. And not just the art.
The presentation is horrible. the photo is so grainy that you can't even see most of the crappy art.

Dude, learn to draw by actually putting forth effort, and don't hide behind your age as an excuse. No one is going to cut you any slack for it.
Besides if you really are only 9, then your not old enough for Newgrounds, and this account should be removed.
