artistryfree's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Muttonstache]

Hey, this isn't bad at all. It shows that you are trying and striving to try new things. Digital painting is hard if you don't have the patience, but what I've learned is to go back to the basic traditional method. If you can, grab some oils or some acrylics and paint on an actual physical canvas for a while. Try some self-portrait sketches every week as a goal to meet. This will only help you as an artist. Some things are off anatomically in this piece such as the lips and eyes, as well as the nose. Grab some anatomy books and fill up pages and pages of different segments of the face, that is how I learned and it is also how I improved over time. Keep it up. Overall good job man!

SimplySurviving responds:

Faces have never really been my strong point, especially capturing emotion and those features you mentioned. Thanks for the advice though, I've been contemplating going back to try traditional mediums since its been a while. Its been recommended to me by several people now so I'll definitely pick some up when I get the chance.

[Ragnarok Online Gunslinger]

I don't know anything about the game you guys are talking about, but I do love this artwork! I love those crosshatchings along the left side of her, it goes well with the light hitting from the right. I also like the subtle bubble behind her, it pops her out of the page and gives that subtle nice finishing touch to the piece. Love it....

[Look what I found]

I love the style you have going here, I would have loved to see the background colored and a little more detail on the creepy looking things jacket. Your style is really smooth, glad I saw this.......

kmau responds:

Glad you like it. The background is so muddy to build a contrast and to create a frame around the characters though.

[It's behind us]

Haven't seen too many episodes of Gravity Falls, but this is definitely a good piece. The style difference puts these characters in a different light, its cool to see it.

[2012- The Party Before it Hits]

Yo! This is amazing! At first glance I thought you used Maya to do this and that was it, but after reading your comments I see that wasn't the case. I applaud your knowledge of programs. With a logo like that, I hope the party was a success......anyway I hope you post more of this type of artwork. Sick......

bluemagma responds:

Thanks dude! I'm working on a speed-paint right now between programming a game of mine, so I should have that available soon. As for 3D work, I've got a few 3D models done, now I'm in the process of texturing them. :D

[Generations1st X Newgrounds]

Yeah, this piece is dope. I like it because it is simple, yet it does so much. I would love to see these two animated. The fight scene could be epic.......!!
