DoctNik's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jeff]

I've seen worse, but this isn't exactly a stellar piece. I feel like i could do almost the same thing if given enough time and i have no artistic talent whatsoever.

LexRodent responds:

So sad :(

[Dave The Catsitter Pt.2]

I came closer to smiling this time, really close.

ChazDude responds:

Thanks for describing your emotions rather than the comic itself!

[This is Halloween]

Keep uploading your awesome pieces, the use of only two colors in this piece looked unappealing to me, but the designs are still alright. Everyone looks great, but Sally's face seems a bit off to me, at least her body is spot on.

Im unsure of this piece really, on one side i admire the designs and effects, but my other half is bored with the orange and black and distracted by Sally's face, its been awhile since ive felt so split on a piece.

VortexVisionz responds:

Thanks for your feedback! I do feel like I rushed this one a bit and that I could've done a much better job, but I don't know where else to go with it. So this is the result lol.. ah well. Can't all be winners XD

[Dave The Catsitter Pt.1]

Almost made me consider smiling, but not yet. I like it, you have a very unique design and i wouldn't be shocked to eventually see these in the paper. Wait, do newspapers actually even exist still? Huh, well for your benefit lets hope so.

ChazDude responds:

They'll all die out eventually anyway, lol.

Your art reminds me alot of juststeven, you both have that true twisted style, no holds barred. Everything about this is weirdly fascinating, if i blur my eyes i see all types of oddities, and that little face in the corner is disgustingly fascinating to me. If i come across some money i will certainly make an offer, although by than it may already be sold.

linda-mota responds:

yea a friend of mine showed me juststeven a few months ago. they were syaing he's teh digital version of what i do. this kind of style has emerged over tiem for me, but looking at jststeven's is soawesome.

My eight year old cousin can draw better tbh, but most of my family is artistically gifted so don't take to much offense to that. I'll go easy on you though, this was just a test afterall. Anyways, keep uploading great crap, and try to upload stuff like this less often alright?

Bertn1991 responds:

Are you okay?

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.

Alef321 responds:

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.

[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 ;)
