DoctNik's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Five Nights at The Carnival (Box-Art)]

Well, I'm not to happy with the idea of another "Five Nights At Freddys" rip off but whatever, I'm not here for that.

Box art is an almost completely unrecognized artform, back in my day we never got watch let's plays or read a review on ign, it was entirely up to the box art to give me an idea of the game, to show me what I'm going to experience. With all that said, I really don't feel inspired too play your game, when I look at it I think "oh great, a clown horror game, how original..." the box art shows me no reason why this game stands out, ya know? I don't see anything on that that makes me want this more than the other 4,000 clown horror games.

TheWitchBoi responds:

I really wanted to give some time to properly respond to this comment, to form my opinion around it. Generally, this is a fair review, but feel as though it's heavily based around you not liking the franchise, which is fine! I actually can't think of any real Clown Horror Games. It's a common trope in horror, yes, but is it displayed in many games? Not as much as you think. Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor, these are the only ones that come to mind.

The Box-Art was made for Indie-DB which only allows a front to be uploaded. I usually read the back too, to see what the game looked like while playing. I hope I'm being clear, but I felt as though the Box-Art will do the game justice, over the millions of FNAF-Clones that are made within days with no thought.

[Weird Characters?]

I like that masked guy, his mechanical wings are awesome looking, and that tail is the bomb. I would love to see this guy in more detail in the future. The little guy in the bottom right is just adorable tbh and the lady in the background is in comparrison to the others is, well, dull.

GhoulKitten responds:

Thanks! Maybe I will do a photoshop thingy of him. :D And I have no idea what that thing in the corner is tbh, XD Haha. And yeah, the lady in the back is stalking the guy cuz she has a crush on the masked guy, I dunno. :P

[WhiteWoman]

Those eyes are so sttange, I've never seen someone draw them like that.

GhoulKitten responds:

Thanks? XD I am trying new stuff with eyes, I dunno.

[Axe dude]

Your feet are getting better! This is the begining of something awesome, I just wish it had more scrathes and dents. Wish it looked more tarnished, more war torn, ya know?

His Axe looks nonthreatening and rather cartoony. His stomach looks... well, round. Perfectly round. No stomach can be that round.

The skulls, bandages, and strange armour all paint the picture of a hardcore warrior.

I'm just not fellin it. 6/10

Marklikeart responds:

Thanks for the critique buddy!

[Goblin Jesus]

Politically incorrect! I love it!

Dat left foot though O.o 7/10

Marklikeart responds:

Haha thanks.

What's so wrong with the left foot ?
If you look at it it looks like his toes are super long but it's supposed to look
like the tendons ontop of the foot ^^

[Jareth the Goblin King (Finished and colored! :D)]

I love what you did with this piece. It brings back memories of a movie I thought was long forgotten.

Even though there is a double shadow and a lack of shadow for the ball. I still find it hard not to admire this piece.

I think this is your masterpiece, David Bowie would be proud. 9/10

GhoulKitten responds:

Thanks! And I love that movie so much, I don't care how silly it may seem to some people, lol.

I don't understand where a double shadow is?? O.o And when I drew the crystal ball I didn't really know how to do it and I didn't look at a reference or anything, I didn't think I did terribly considering.

<3

[COTM crazy love]

Ilove Dead Pool, even if his only weakness is a hot bod.

I like the drawing in all of its aspects and see no real errors.

Tbh, this is really great, you should keep using colored pencils. But whatever. Its the artist, not the tool. Remember that. 8/10

MACGYVR responds:

Thank you I will always remember it...

It is hard when i talk tp people who cant even draw a stick figure (not talking about you btw) and they say its amazing no flaws, but as the artist i see all the flaws. you know? anyway thank you for the uplifting words

[The Kraken - Concept Art]

Looks cool, can't wait to see what you do with it!

LinkTCOne responds:

Thanks!

[Aries]

I love the look of this warrior and his bad ass weapons and armour!

I can see that the lighting was well done and well thought out, which is also cool.

The shadow is just horrid though, if I were you I woldve changed the lighting angle so the shadow was easier to draw.

His hooves seem nearly entirely different in shape and color.

His hands look grotesque and his right arm seems to fat to be of any use.

The three gray colored straps are strange, the character would've done better without them. It serves no purpose and is an eye sore. 4/10

Undeadkitty13 responds:

ah man I see what you mean, I didnt notice that till now
thanks for the critique
