vlsrb's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[DEVIL MAYHEM]

Visually this comic is incredibly eye-catching, which more than makes up for the fact that it's only setting up a larger narrative story-wise. The sharp, angular lines, the vibrant colors, the rebellious vibe of the characters - it's all pretty much perfect. There's so much confidence behind every stroke, it's clear this style suits you well and you feel comfortable with it. Great job and good luck in the contest!

Mi-Nya-Mi responds:

Thanks for the comments man!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and best of luck to you as well!! ☺️

[Nightmare's Darling]

A short but very effective horror story. I feel like the art starts off pretty good and then just keeps getting better and better with every page - this might be because you were getting used to drawing the characters as the story went on. The final few pages, particularly the zombie scenes, look amazing. And I like the ending - grim but poignant. Very good job, and good luck in the contest!

Artist-Lost responds:

thank you! I really noticed a change in my hand skills working on this, I started late so I ended up having to do a page or two every day to meet the deadline. By the end I feel like the strokes got looser and more expressive.

[COM Cute pokemon stuff!]

That really is way too cute. Swampert is giving such golden retriever energy that I can almost forget what a pain in the ass he is in Pokémon Go. Great work!

DanShimmershell responds:

Thank you! One of my favorite things to draw is pokemon... and robots.

[plasticine planet]

Beautiful and oddly humbling. Seeing planets from this perspective makes you appreciate how something that is literally the whole world to you is just a small speck in an enormous universe. Well done!

bugthread responds:

thanks! i've always had a fascination with planets haha

[Romi the Rattish Rogue (Full Comic)]

This is an excellent comic. Romi is a great protagonist, and having the story told through her inner monologue lets her personality and wit shine. You manage to set up, build up and satisfyingly resolve the plot in 16 pages, while also making me interested in what happens to Romi next. Love the linework, but especially the colors and how you use them to convey mood and ambience. And there are neat moments of humor scattered throughout - all hail Fish Pope. Basically, I really enjoyed this. Great work and good luck in the contest!

GeorgiaMachina responds:

Thanks, your review seriously means a lot. I saw you had an entry, good luck to you too. I finally have time to start reading through some of the others.

[Monke Golfing]

I see orang-utan, I click.

Amazing how you've created this gorgeous scene based on such a trivial piece of inspiration. The background is so lush, and the monkey looks fantastic. Just looking at this is literally taking me to my happy place.

KajaG responds:

Thanks so much, I am very happy to hear that this piece could bring a smile to a face : )
It is cool to see that other people enjoy this piece as much as I had fun making it.

[Speak no Evil Ch.3]

10/10 just for Renny and Amica going to a record store.

In all seriousness, great chapter. Love seeing the group develop a close relationship, and the cloaked men in the beginning hint at more interesting developments. And I don't even need to mention it but wow the art is just consistently top-notch. Looking forward to the next chapter!

NairdaGS responds:

aw thank you so much for the kind words!!

[What Lies in Shadows]

Great job on this piece, you put in a lot of effort and it truly shows. The shading is absolutely amazing.

DozyMike responds:

Thank you so much! :D

[Rain Ronin]

This was pretty darn cute. While your inexperience with making comics does show a bit, visually all the panels look appealing and the simple character designs and settings just work for this type of story. And Gogo the doggo is adorable. Good job and good luck in the contest!

MarMarVibes responds:

Thanks! This was a huge learning experience for me

[Fastest man in Gouache (2021)]

This turned out pretty great if you ask me. The facial anatomy in particular looks really good, well done!

Eckie-Duh-Nox responds:

Thank you!
