DoctNik's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Obsidian]

I love the black/white bg and how it complements the grey/crimson foreground, your other sketches are pretty good too, would love to see you on the art portal.

IhaveHatsInMyPants responds:

thanks man, that really means a lot. i plan on making more art and posting it on here more often regardless if it's my own original art or fan art like this.

Being unfamiliar with Nier-Automata I can only judge by visuals, which are beautiful. The perspective shows the bright warm colors and compliments her dark uniform and dispondent expression. I am aware of the complexity of Nier-Automata and if I were more understanding I'd probably be able to appreciate this beautiful piece all the more. Certainly one for the portfolio here.

rehdah responds:

Thank you so much!

In the same way the creator can only build in his limited place Jordan could only express his creativity through videos, and like The Creator's paint leaves marks Jordan's impact can be seen and experienced well beyond the confines of his mind and his now, sadly, deleted videos.

It is my opinion that an artist, of any nature, has the responsibility to preserve their creations no matter how pitiful or disgusting they are in your eyes. It is this self judgement that has led to the loss of what could have been some of the most extraordinary works.

Art matters. And you, a creator, matter all the more because of that.

Sarah-The-Dreameater responds:

thank you so much for your kind words <3 it really means a lot that someone else understands how valuable created works are and how sometimes we become our own worst critics at times, and how destructive it can be.

[Update 2019]

That link doesn't work and I'd love to commission my dude

DarkJazmin11 responds:

Well you can send me a message.

[Magda]

I like the simplicity and color choices. Nice little piece my dude, keep this up.

MS360 responds:

thanks for the feedback!

[Fire Emblem, Tharja]

Not familiar with fire emblem but hot damn, she's damn hot! I love these soft colors and flirtacious look! I dislike the trope of adding sweat/wettness to sexual art so this is a pleasant surprise.Do you take commissions per chance?

SplashBrush responds:

Thanks a lot (:
I don't take commissions at the moment though, sorry.

[CDC: Rat Warrior]

If an animator needed a reccomendation for a guy to design characters, or an author needed illustrations, I now feel confident enough to say"I know a guy".

Everything about this mouse says warrior, I love his armour and weapons, his scars and exaggerated body, and the detail. I especially like the tally marks on his teeth and his nose piercing. I especially love that background detail, those clouds and that perspective make me wish you added to the rest of the sky and did more with the moon but it surely doesn't take away from this.

How long did it take to finish this? if you don't mind my asking.

Kkylimos responds:

Woah thanks for the kind words friend! About the background, the contest does not allow for elaborate backgrounds, it's strictly a character design competition. I pushed it with the nest and all for the sake of storytelling but I doubt they would accept the artwork if I worked more on it. But yeah, contest aside, it would be be better to expand on it. Im not sure how long it took exactly because I painted it in between other stuff and changed my direction several times but Im thinking somewhere between 6 or 7 hours. Thanks again :D

[The Mild West]

It really feels like the distortion of picasso and the humor and style of MAD magazine had a fever child.

TheMarooned responds:

Haha Holy shit, I think thats one of the coolest complements I've ever gotten, Thanks so much dude! <3

[Rumiko Takahashi tribute]

I like the art style, angle, and design of the characters (especially that little critter haha) keep up the good work! I really appreciate those faces too each one unique and adorable

Rafchu responds:

Thanks so much!

[L - Death Note]

Great job, nice hair and face, great detail and shading too. The neck seems a little thick to me though, but besides that i see no issues with this. Im giving 2.5 stars mainly because i see a lot of anime style art and it doesn't seem to impress me as much as other styles.

Dry-Art responds:

Thanks! And yeah, I really do need to work on my anime style; I'm not very comfortable with it yet.
