DoctNik's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Winter Angel]

A bit late for christmas/winter stuff ain't it? But whatevs, I'll do my thing.

Ok, so I like this whole angel-dissapearing-into-snow thing, her get up is pretty bland though, even with that snow flake broche (did I spell that right? Hell, is that what it is even?)

There's one major mistake you obviously forgot, the lighting, this is a major thing I critisize because it is just to obvious and really takes from the immersiv-ness of your art. The moon is obviously behind the angel, yet her face is lit up? Come on. And don't say something like, " but its an angel!" that will just piss me off.

Next, the scene, it was obviously neglected. The homes are amaturely drawn despite the fact we KNOW you can draw and the bridge or whatever at the end of the road looks like a friggin turd for petes sake!

You can draw, you just have to understand that the scene and the background are just as important as the fore groud. the lighting is also something you need to show love to. 6/10

AddaWhite responds:

First of all, I need to THANK YOU for the feedback. I really appreciate it, seriously.
You are right with the background, I have just spent only little time on it, but to be honest, it was also a "practice painting" for me, if I can call it like that. What I mean is that, obviously, I'm not that good at landscapes and I tried to do it from my imagination, with no reference... And rushed it because, as you said, it's almost spring:)))
But I have to say that the thing behind her head is actually a halo, or something like that, and it comes from her, if it makes any sense:)))). And that's why I didn't put shadows on her face. Anyways, THANKS a lot for your time and next time I promise that I'll do my best with the background. (backgrounds are my worst nightmares:(( )
(I'm sorry if I've misspelt anything)

[Heartache]

She looks confused because of her crooked eyebrows and her slight frown. She's also, to me at least, rather repulsing. I'm not surprised everyone leaves her, TBH.

She doesn't seem to be attacking anything but just letting balls of flame fall harmlessly to the ground.

As for how well it was drawn, above average. Not to bad, maybe this isn't exactly front page art, but who knows? It diidnt jump out or inspire me, hell, it didn't even capture what the story portrayed it to be.

2.5/10

Evanatt responds:

Well ingame she don't really want to harm you, there is a point she does actually cast her flames to not hit you.

[Jareth Sketch]

a fie work-in-progress. I noticed a few strange things such as his hair seems to be floating above his head In the full-body sketch, while his portrait seems to be better adjusted. His right arm appears to be phasing through his cape. I hope you can perfect this to its full potential.

GhoulKitten responds:

Thanks, I am working on it right now, and I was just over exaggerating his hair style, lol. And I will fix the cape as well.

[Ion Valley Mountain Trails]

This is truly a beautiful art work. The attention on the sky and the characters and even the birds! The tiny almost invisible birds were shown the same TLV as the cats! Truly this is a work of art. most professionals couldn't do something like this! I this picture tells a story. The mountains in the background could use some lovin' but that's it. 9/10 brilliant job, mate! (Also, is this original, or was it based on a cartoon?)

fxscreamer responds:

Thanks a lot!

[Furmentium]

I don't know his story but I want to. He kinda looks like those scary ghosty things from harry potter. To me, he resembles a necromancer or a demon, maybe a lich. Whatever IT is, its nightmarish. I like it! I don't see any notable errors, only awesomeness, ecept that he appears to be wearing a cloak, when his arms poke out from under his sleeves, but then his "cloak" is suddenly his face! Weird :/. You shoulve at least given a short description of the guy.

GGTFIM responds:

As I said on the description box,I have IT ''story''/description posted on my blog.It's a ''story'' because its a narrative writen in a diary,and writen by the perspective of a human character (like a fisherman describing a mermaid).You can try to translate it (it's portuguese,but the translators are not 100% accurate,you know).
Yeah haha,the cloak (robe) and his body seems to be the same thing,but if you look closely at his neck,there's a neckband ^^

Thanks for the sincere feedback!

[Irmgard.]

I like her, her clothes are very normal. Plain. No complaint, I actually prefer it, lol. Her eyes coulve been more alighn but that is my only real complaint. I'm just mad because now I have to make a new playlist for cartoony art work. I HAVE TO MANY PLAYLISTS AND NOT ENOUGH ART WORK!! I'm just kidding mate, well done.

WooleyWorld responds:

Merci.

[Sassy Fishie]

So much sass lol. The fishies costume is ok but lacks certain detail that woulve made it pop out. The lighting was pretty good, but shouldn't the tail be in fishies shadow? So should his left shoulder and his left side of the face (they both be shaded by his shoulder guard.) The background was plane, but since you were only focusing on the character I'll overlook it, lol. I'll add this to my brand new sassy fish playlist.

Flikkernicht responds:

Ah yeah very very good point with the shoulder/left side of face shading thing I didn't even think of that. And yeah with this type of shit I don't really put effort into the backgrounds, maybe I should start doing that. Thanks for the feedback homie, appreciate it

[Jazz Jackrabbit]

It looks like a fun game lol (a rabbit AND a lazer gun!? How could you go wrong!) But seriously, it was well drawn, and accurate to its original image.I wish the eyes had a more bugs bunny cartoony look, but other than that this was spot on. Well done.

GhoulKitten responds:

It is a very fun game. :D And thank you, I appreciate the review! <3
