vlsrb's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Year of the Dragon]

Ha, it's my year. One of my favorite Pokémon and one of my favorite types. Lovely work here, always great to see more Dragonair.

Tango responds:

It's my year as well! And I agree, Dragonair has such a simple and elegant design. Thanks for the kind words, and a happy new year.

[Fast Food Manager, Star]

In love with the way you use color here, especially on the hair, sweater on the left and the ghost arms. Awesome job!

Ixurcafe responds:

BLESS! Thank you!! 🤘

[Outer Boyo]

His face clearly communicates "Where am I?", and honestly I relate to that.

This is kickass work, amazing colors on the character and beautiful background. And the lines - perfection.

Chorilate responds:

Thanks! the way how the pen's ink blends with the markers colors helps a lot to give it a bit of a "round" look

[Slug creature]

I could totally imagine him roaming through a marshy forest some 300 million years ago, chomping on some vegetation. Fantastic work, I especially like the eyes.

Seath-Lorkencrain responds:

Thanks.

[[COMM] Wild Plants]

OK, I realize this was posted almost three years ago, but I just had to comment on it. This is simply flawless. The anatomy, the pose, the way you draw body hair, the shading, the expression, the lush background, the vines slowly entangling the guy and the implication thereof... Whoever this commission was for must have been a very satisfied customer. Just discovered your art today and felt like expressing how much I like it, hence this review. Great job!

NicoTheJoe responds:

OMG, thank you very much for your words!~ It was - if I remember correctly - one of my first "PinUp" that I was commissioned! And it's still one of my favorite jobs I've ever done! I'm very glad you liked it despite the time that has passed! :') <3

[Sweet Sixteen Comic Contest Award Ceremony Comic]

What better way to announce the results of a comic contest than with a comic? A stroke of genius, well done.

And a massive round of congratulations to the whole top 10, and particularly the four winners! Personally, I'm so happy Romi managed to clinch a winning spot, and seeing Funny Burger get #1 was so satisfying because that comic deserves all the recognition it can get. An awesome event, hats off to all the artists who submitted a comic and to the judges who had the unenviable task of deciding on the winners.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Hehe, thanks! I thought I had to make an effort almost as good as y'all!

I had to do a Top Ten because there were just so many entries! Romi is so much fun, and Funny Burger is just amazing. I hope everyone will read them! And I hope everyone will read yours too! You put a lot of work into The mystery of the Gikika Spider, and a follower of mine in the sciences said it was his favorite. Thank you so much for entering the contest, and thanks for reviewing a lot of the entries! 💖

[Phonecall]

Really nice general vibe going on here, love what you did with the colors. The character's body language also speaks so much without a single word. Great job!

Moodyskeletonz responds:

Thank you so much!

[Cliff Fisher]

There it is, the most badass thing I will see today. The crocodile looks incredible, really like the hindlegs modified into flippers. Amazing work!

Edit after the artist's comment: ahhh, now I see where I made a mistake. I thought the front legs were tucked away behind the neck and hidden from view, but clearly this croc's neck (and body) are much longer than I realized. Sorry about that. Still amazing work! And the new letters look incredible!

ahmonza responds:

those aren't the hind legs... those are the front legs... hes alot bigger then you think

[Grande Oceano God from Tormenta20]

Where to start? The trident is absolutely magnificent, regal and opulent as befitting a god. The form of its body, serpentine with beautiful billowing fins, is imposing and graceful at the same time. And the bioluminescent patches on the sides are a great touch. Awesome work!

Notna1907 responds:

I'm glad you mentioned the fins, I was very inspired by sea slugs, they are so alien and yet so gorgeous, that esse exactly the impression I wanted tive. Make him weird but not downright fearsome.
Thank you for the kind words!

[Pokémon - Flutter Mane]

I've yet to fully warm to the Paradox Pokémon - so far the concept seems a bit weird and underdeveloped, plus I can't say that I like a lot of their designs. But this piece is wonderful, the glowing eyes make it seem oddly intense. Well done!

Puyogum responds:

Thank you!! :)
