vlsrb's art Reviews on Newgrounds

"BLEARGHH!" is probably the catchphrase of the century.

Fantastic work, the shading is incredible. Gotta love those teeth too.

[Gooooood morning night city]

I am deeply jealous of the way you draw buildings. This is marvelous, amazing work!

[Topiary Cult]

The colors here are so lush, the flower crown especially. And the very idea of a topiary cult is brilliantly wacky. Love this!

[THE LAST ARCANA: Chapter 1 - Part 1]

Well this looks interesting! I really like your art style - it's no small feat being able to do "cute" and "horrifying" all in the span of one chapter. Will definitely keep an eye on this to see where it's going.

I wanted to do a Magcargo comment but somebody beat me to it, so I'll just have to settle for saying how amazing this is. Really nice detail on the shell and lava, I can honestly say this is the most badass gastropod I've ever encountered.

[Hard Sun Shower]

Beautiful colors, excellent use of light and shade, but most of all a fantastic little character piece. Without a single word we can already guess so much about who these two are, just based on how they look and interact. Wonderful!

SPLATTERBRAIN responds:

Thanks a lot, dude!

[Brood]

This is really cool. Your lanky character design is very interesting, but it's the colors and shading that give the painting a "just walked into something I shouldn't have walked into" vibe. Great job!

[heartbroken]

One word: WOW.

(OK a few more words.)

This is breathtaking, honestly. You communicated the character's emotions through his facial expression perfectly. The symbolism is genius and on point. The level of technical proficiency is awe-inspiring - the colors in particular are heavenly. All around stunning work, great job!

wowowow thank you so much!! this review is so plump with lovely feedback, i appreciate you for taking the time to write it! takes me back to my college critique days (but with way less crying haha)

i created this piece shortly after a friendship ended, and i must have funneled all of that into this portrait because once it was done i felt so much lighter. i had a lot of that numb-faced, puffy-eyed, big-cry sort of energy and tried to hand it off to the man in the portrait.

hhhh aaa words, just thank you very much, this means a lot

[guess the characters]

I see Mob!

Amazing illustration, love your use of screentone!

[me and dad]

This is so sweet, it feels like a heartfelt tribute to your father. Whiting out the background behind the figures was a nice touch, it gives the impression of an almost saintly glow. Just an incredibly serene, radiant scene, well done!
