Troisnyx's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Could you Imagine....]

Right off the bat, I've got to say, your sense of colour and composition is amazing. You have a great bit of chiaroscuro going, and it's very pleasing to look at. Definitely something I think I could learn from you.

My complaints have nothing to do with Hallow's body. I am all FOR plus-sizers. Rather, for me, what sets apart a furry piece (or any piece for that matter) from the rest is the amount of life in it. Hallow is meant to be a fox? A wolf? When canines are interested in something, their ears prick up, their eyes dilate and their tails wag, do they not? Perhaps illustrate the movement, the life, in the drawing. Try not to make it static. A soulful drawing will easily stand out from the rest.

Also a slight bit of nitpicking, but what is she sitting on? Lying on perhaps? Posture practice is something recommended to every artist, myself included, and I'd like to extend the invitation to you to try it out.

All in all, good piece, but there are still some kinks to be knocked out. Perhaps be my accountability partner of sorts when it comes to colouring, and I'll help where I can for posture. I don't so animals, but now might be my time to try out some.

3.5/5.

Killerwolf1020 responds:

I agree that it does look off with her "leaning on nothing" (lol) but that's how I drew the pose. I did have a "table" or "box" drawn in for what she was leaning on but I wanted the picture to feature just the character and no props other than the clothes she wears.

Hallow is a werewolf (wolf). My foxes (that I don't draw often) I try to give a different face shape (rounder for artic fox and narrower for most other foxes) and a shorter narrower muzzle and a leaner build.

Hallows tail is up as to simulate a dominant posture and slightly happy. Wolves typically raise their tails to assert dominance but as she is also anthropomorphized, it could also be inferred that she is doing it to not just posture but wave it like a little red flag saying "look at me."

Thank you for your input. It means a lot and I will do my best to give my pictures more life in the future ^^

[Bridge Zone]

This makes me want to write a lyrical cover of the Bridge Zone. It looks simply breathtaking!

[Castle Park's Logo]

Everything looks nice, but I don't know if the font (for the type) actually fits the rest of the picture. Still though: the castle clock tower thing was what caught my eye, so kudos. ^_^

Decky responds:

Thanks for the review.

I used a san serif, fine font for "castle park" & "centre" because I wanted it to feel fun, modern and clean, the same reason why it is all in lower case. As for "arts" I wanted a different font with a little bit more artist flourish then the other text but still fairly clean.

[La mer]

As someone who likes Claude Debussy's music... great job. The impressionism isn't lost on this, the colours are playful (as I find a lot of his pieces to be), and it looks simply beautiful.

P-cate responds:

thank you so much!

[NGADM2014]

Oh gosh yes. Very well done, but very hilarious too (Tankman holding a triangle, pfffffft XD). I am very, very much looking forward to this year's NGADM.

Artist-Lost responds:

It should be great. Last year had some amazing talent come through and the competition is only hotter this year.

[coverlg ink 100]

Is this pen on paper, or PC-drawn? Done off memory or imagination, or traced? We need details, you know.

Until we artists know what methods you use, we're reluctant to approach. I, for one, am hesitant to give you a score any higher than 3 unless I know your methods.

[McPixel Fanart I Made To Save]

It's really not bad at all -- I may not be a fan of the drawing style (me thinks it ought to be smoother). But you have amazing colours! There may not be much indication of movement apart from the guy in falling stance... but the colours are bright, they scream DANGER. I like that.

Possibly smoother lines? Or try hand-draw this, since most of us have more control over a pencil than a mouse. It'll be nice to see what you come up with.

3.5/5

[Happy birthday, art portal!]

If Newgrounds or @chluaid ever licenses this design on a plain BG for use as a shirt, I would really like to see this shirt, big time. Not sure if the background is to my liking, but Bitey and those music notes in the background make a statement.

4/5.

[Still making friends]

Both the original and this are nice -- this one strikes me as more mech, while the first one strikes me as very warm and fuzzy, but plain. Still, you've added extra detail and now it looks to me as if a story about man and machine is about to unfold!

5/5.

[Naw, It Ain't Snowin]

I find the colours a bit plain, but I love the atmosphere in this piece. Just the quirkiness of a blizzard in June -- fancy that! You've created a nice set of surroundings too, I like.

4/5.
