Bryony's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Odyssey Undead]

Cool style

I really like the shape and transparency between the buildings in the foreground and background, but I think the text would be better much smaller and wider instead of tall and underlined as it takes away from the picture and on top on all the lens flare it becomes overbearing.

Tombstoned666 responds:

hey cheers mate.....i see what you mean about the txt, thanks for the crit,
i love your Growing peice thats bad ass XD

[Hexagram 26 - Potential Energy]

It makes me think of purgatory

Almost looks as if the clouds are closing in on this solitary performer. I really like the blending between the sky and ground and the clouds are very well done. Could do with a bit more refinement or more colour.

RPGsrok responds:

I tend to think of him as meditating. Glad the blending of the clouds turned out well to you. Personally I like the monochromatic scheme I'd come up with, and I'm not too sure what you mean by refinement (feel free to pm me if you care to elaborate). Glad you liked it!

[Surreality]

Cool

Really, really nice colours here - although I'm not sure if that's a road or a river so it could use more definition. Lovely strokes as well, what did you use?

Stellarbird responds:

Thanks!~

It's a road, and yeah I just noticed i left out any median lines or cracks to distinguish it, so I might go back and change that.

I used Corel Painter 11 with a Wacom tablet.

Cool idea, and I like your line style. Also good to see someone combining the figure and surrealist objects in the same piece. Would be nice to see some more definition between light/dark to bring out the boy from blending into the tree.

Pohmme-d-adham responds:

Thanks for your review and your critique as well. I'm actually planning to add some light/shadows, but for that, I need several plates of copper. And time. It's not as simple as drawing with pencil or ink. Unfortunately time is rare atm, but I will try to work on that piece, for sure!

[Surreal forest]

Good start

I like how you're not afraid to submit a simple brush swatch piece, I think you've found a good base style of stroke that you could employ well in something more sophisticated.

[Blecchatronic]

Magical

Ahh the colours are fabulous, it just has such a positive vibe! A very strong creative piece, not to mention your obvious technical skill. Going on my favourites for sure.

conundrummer responds:

Thank you very much. I didn't set out to give this a positive vibe, but it happened anyway and I'm glad it did.

[Kris' Self Portrait]

Great effort

I like your brush-strokes on the hair. what media did you use? i can see you've really paid attention to the highlights and shadows of your face, it definitely has paid off. next time go a step further and be more daring with the lines and shadows, you could really take your art to the next level.

itsKris responds:

This was drawn in photoshop with my tablet :) Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion. Halfway through this piece I had actually thought to maybe change it from a simple self portrait to something a little crazier, but decided against it (I didn't want to accidentally ruin something I thought was turning out so well) but I'll try something bolder for my next artwork and we'll see how that turns out :D

<3

I absolutely love how you can create a transition so accurately, you got skilllllls. This is something I would love to do/put on my wall.

datamouth responds:

thanks Bryony. it started out as a very random sketch. didn't know where i was going. i'm trying to make some shirts outta my stuff. maybe even posters who knows (:. thanks again!

Brill

I really like the block shadows and your cartoon style, especially in the hair and face. The left arm looks too thin and the boob creases are a little off but overall I think it's a great piece.

[Experiment #17]

.

You've definitely got some cool ideas and you're developing, but try to spend some more time to take them from doodles and sketches to full blown artistic pieces. Think about anatomy and do some still life studies of animals.

Actionsquid responds:

Hey, I do LOTS of that stuff. These are my freedom pieces, taking 10 minutes or less. Anatomy is certainly a part of these creatures' development. I don't draw without considering things such as 'where does the food go?' and 'is this balanced?' and so on. If you want full blown, check out my non-experiment art work.
