Kinsei's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[1st random Drawing]

Random sticks.....

I'm really not liking this. Nothing has any sort of form.

You should actually try and draw something rather than just put up random doodles.

"Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect"

I believe we deliberately arranged items using MS Paint in a way that affected one or more of our senses, emotions and intellect, so then i do believe that is called art my friend.

[Cutesy Girl!~]

Simple but working.

Their isn't much to say about this.

So far it's pretty good. I really don't need to mention anatomy or form or anything about the basics. This is a very good sign.

The things you do need to work on is the Background which is kind of bland and boring and you need to shade the character. At the moment the character is more flat than a piece of wood in a sandpaper factory.
That little bit of depth could reall help this out.

Also I notice that the lines are rather pixelated. IF this was down in Ms Paint then you might want to switch over to Photoshop or Gimp.

At Least Use The Circle Tool

Even For MS Paint, Come on man. Have some dignity for yourself.
This looks half hearted at most. I would advise redoing the entire things and at least use some of the tools provided in at least MS Paint to make this thing remotely better.

Wow someone actually looked at this??

[TRICKY'S CORRUPTION]

Some real Problems

For the most part, you can tell that it is Tricky. The down side is that the character has a unique enough design that it is pretty hard to botch.

I wanna discuss color first, mostly because of one area. The hair is blending in to the flames of the background too much. Even with the line art it is difficult to tell them apart. Because of this and because the use of the same color again and again for different materials and textures I can pretty safely assume that you have a very limited marker selection. Either that or your too lazy to make sure you grabbed enough variants from the marker rack. IF their was a color to defiantly ditch it's the purple on the character and sign.
The anatomy of madness characters isn't that hard to do either, but you kind of screwed up on the hands. One being much larger than the other is pretty obvious. I think you should have gone with a bit bigger hands anyway considering the character.

The costume I have little to say about, but over all it's kind of "Meh"

The background and stage is kind of a problem. To start you are lacking a good perspective on the stage, and the grid you placed on it makes it obvious. As for the flames, we have already discussed the biggest problem of color already. Perhaps some dramatics and some white added to the flames would have helped.

You mention being in a art class already. Make sure your teacher is showing at least the basics of Design, Color Theory, Perspective and the basics of general arts. If not then you are going to have to learn on your own if you want to get better.

Background Kills it

I kind of like the style of the actual character and it seems alright, but those colors are just murder.
I'm sorry, but the background has to go..

[JN - Run Jimmy, Run]

Good and Fun

One thing that works for this is the characters are in Character.

The gang chasing Jimmy just seems like the right thing to be doing and it makes you wonder "What did he do this time?"

The cartoon style of art fits very well with the characters and the setting they are suppose to be from. It has both a simplicity and a sense of complexity all at the same time. I think you have done a good job rendering the characters.

I would have liked to see some ground shadows to go along with them as they were running. And perhaps maybe some burnt marks or something on jimmy and/or on the other characters to kind of show that one of his experiments went haywire.

Great Job

Thank you very very much ^^!

[Coloriztic]

Really?

I'm not sure why you uploaded this, but it really wasn't worth the space.
It's just a couple lines, no direction, no form, no style, no nothing, just lines. even having them spinning would have been better than them just setting there.

[Heavy Rain]

Giant Girl?

The atmosphere of this is pretty good and the balance is alright. The color work looks good too.

My beef with this is mostly the placement of the character to the rest of the world.
You should have her lower on the canvas and a bit larger to give the impression of her setting close to the viewer.
At the moment she looks like she is a giant girl setting on a ruin rather than a just a normal girl setting on a small pillar.

You could have also gotten a little more dramatic with the clouds in the sky.

[Gloom :C]

Hey, This Is Alright

I'm feeling a pretty sold win on this one.
I think you could go for some darker shading in a couple areas like on the bottom of the raised food and on the darker side of the body, bit over all I like this.
