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.

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??

[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 ^^!

[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.

i agree with the placement i actually caught tht when i was drawing it but it was alread half way done and erasing tht wuldve totally messed everything else but tht is the 1 thing tht bothers me as well.......but as for the clouds im still gettin used to the program i use to edit my drawings so i rlly wuldnt hav any clue how to do tht but thanks for the advice

[Scuba Tankmen]

Glub-Glub

This one I am liking.

Although Gradients usually foul up a picture, it this one they work.

I would have liked to see some more shading done on Scuba-Steve himself. And perhaps a little more detail here and their on him. Also some detail to some of the suckers on the tentacles and perhaps some good strong and solid highlights on the tentacles as well.

This has got to be one of your stronger pieces. would call this one scout worthy.

MajesticBob responds:

I love that out of all the ones you reviewed, the "just for fun" pic is the one you like best. It does have a strange simplicity to it. When I'm not ass- lazy I'll go through and edit these pics. Make 'em better than they are now.

[Captain Rock]

Better Than your First Submission.

Looking at this, I already know the differences.

Mostly what you need at this point is practice. Some anatomy sketches would be a big help. I would really like to see some life drawing and studies posted up.

As for some of the bigger flaws with this is the arms/shoulders and that Axe. The shoulders need to be closer in similarity when it comes to muscle mass. Also the arms are two different thicknesses. The characters left arm seems puny, complete with a small hand as well. Then the right looks like it has some power packing behind it. Although that could come from that Huge Axe.
I'm all for the fun giant weapons, but this at least needs a practical hand size grip. Lets also get this entire thing on screen, widen the canvas some more and get the axe more over the head. Have it really show off the power of the character.

The background is a little bland and could use a little more character placement. You should get the entire character on the canvas rather than having part of him running off the edge. Also having that full body on their gives you a chance to play with the characters surroundings more. Have some magic flowing, tearing at the ground, and lighting his surroundings.

The Characters face needs some tweaking and I think you could have more folds on those baggy cloths. You could also get much stronger shadows to really add some depth to the picture.

This definitely shows some progress.,

MajesticBob responds:

I agree. Though That is how the weapon looks and is in Real life! Lol! It's a damn train wreck of a weapon.

[falling with style]

Solid as Usual

Although I doubt that there are many stock photos of people falling from the sky.
Over all this is a solid design, and I like it.
The only two problems I have is that the skirt at the top makes her hips look bigger than they are, I think you could do some more flutter with it to define it more.
And The calf when it comes to the ankles make them look like cankles. If you could thin them out a little sooner, I think it would look much better.

PixelCake responds:

Well I drew her chubbier than I usually draw my ladies so the wider hips is normal and so are the thicker thighs, I tried to shrink the ankles and it looked like they were going to snap her feet off
eventually I'll get it right XD thank you

[Booster & Peach]

I'd Boost Her Peach

This is a great example of a simple but effective design. It has hardly any color, but what it does have simply adds to the entire thing.

The only thing I would add is some simple ground shadows to give the characters a sense of placement.

wesley-johnson responds:

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm not a bit digital painter or anything, so I'm starting to try to figure out other way of coloring. More of a design approach I guess. And yes, shadows would make a world of difference. I'll make that happen.
