DoctNik's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nightmare Cops]

Id say it was a success, although the guys face in the top right seems a little flatter than the others, everyone else has highlights and shading and detail, his just seems unlike the others. The work itself tells me little about the game other than fighting against a ridiculously strong evil organization, really feels more like fan art than promotion material.

other than that its a fine piece by a fine artist, good job.

i like it, feels weird and different from what i've seen on your account so far but this is still beautiful to me. The hair was well done plus the shading and effects are beautiful. Drawings like this really impress me, not just because of quality but because you actually stepped outside of your comfort zone and tried something new, things like that really separates the hobbyist from the artist.

Some people carry a unique aura, that is true, and you did well to capture it. The lighting is great and the red tones were a nice touch, really a beautiful drawing in general, everything looks good and compliments the piece in whole. The hair, the clothing, the face, the lighting and touch-ups, even the background. My only complaint is her pose, she seems lost in thought when i look in her eyes but her body doesn't say the same thing. Sometimes body language can be just as (if not more) important than facial expression.

that is true
the real person had a bunch of luggage and was very weary .

i like how you drew over a picture, drawings like yours and photography should be combined ore often. One issue with your piece is your framing, the open area to the right of the drawing creates an imperfect frame and the light on the top left is distracting, a few lessons in taking quality pictures could be good for your future work. Another issue is your character, it has a very detailed face and head but the body is lacking in any significance at all.

all in all about 5% of this is amazing, everything else is wasted effort, BUT i do like what you do with your pictures and i believe that if you use your imagination and take great pictures you can create some amazing art.

ChervoniToro responds:

hey thanks man. 'preciate it.

[Squatting bully]

Your lack of care makes this review worthless but ill give you my two cents anyhow, the shading is very well done and your overall character design is amazing, except for her gross hair, it's a notable flaw not to mention the oddly positioned left arm that has a completely different color than the rest of her skin.

All in all this piece didn't deserve this outrageously long, detailed and convoluted review but its what i do, I'll check out your other works though, it seems a bit cruel to leave such a shitty review on something you weren't insanely passionate about.

Alef321 responds:

honestly I appreciate it
I don't like spending hours on something I'm doing for fun, I'll think about the hair tou.

feel free to critique more stuff, I actually take it to heart since most just say '' heh, its nice'' and move on.

[Chris (Nightmare Cops)]

The shape and curves of the body makes her look deformed and weird, i honestly can't tell if thats two tits or one, or if her bottom half is connected to her top half.

With that said i like her face, albeit not as much as your other designs, the gun was well drawn too and so was the piece in general, even the background looked nice but pose and its depiction is jarring especially when compared to your other pieces.

[Blow strips #5]

the joke is good, but the last word bubble made the punchline lame. Cool style though.

[Colours]

great shading, great drawing, it's just great.

[Godly Titans]

its good, i like the lighting and the faces, but the general character design just feels a little traditional, other than that well done.

Roxedo responds:

Thanks DoctNik, I'll keep that in mind for the next one ;)

[Handsome Jack]

not the best depiction of H. J. but well enough, the hair looks good and the eyes are the right color, everything is colored and drawn fine but im not getting a sense of his personality from this, i dont remember much from Borderlands but i do remember hating Jacks douchbaggery, and i dont really see much doucheness in your drawing other than a smirk. But i guess this is a speed drawing and is amazingly well done for what it is.

Skimlet responds:

Ah, thank you very much for your feedback, I honestly felt a lot of the ideas I had got lost (especially after i did my line art) i was gonna have his head tilted down and a little more shadow surrounding the eyes, hoping to capture an expression that suggests sinister intent. But I didn't really execute it very well, If I ever redraw this in a few years then I'll keep in mind that I should really push the expression more.
