bboykrillin's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[9 to 5]

Bleak...

Wow, this is such a depressing piece, the colours so desaturated and the general mood being so sad, powerful stuff.

My only possible critique would be the left side third of the piece seems a little empty compared to the activity of the middle and right thirds, but thats just me.

I wonder if that's pollution and smog causing all that haze in the background? It looks like a very unpleasant place to live. You have a real talent for the grotesque :)

SpamClamberton responds:

And you have a real talent for the badass.

Nice

It's a really great piece with a lot of atmosphere, the quality of the rendering is what i like most.

Have you read Mort by Terry Pratchett? This work makes me think of that book :)

SmokeryDots responds:

Thank you, and no, no I haven't read it, but I'll take it as a compliment :-)

Needs work

There are several problems with this as I see it. The biggest being the anatomy on the character in the bottom panel and how flat it all seems.
(I've written and rewritten this next paragraph several times but I find I am just coming across as an asshole and I really don't want to be like that. I just want to give some constructive criticism! Please dont hate me!)
I would suggest spending some time drawing from life before attempting to create stylised anime-esque type characters, it'll help give you a better sense of weight and depth that just isn't there right now.
Perspective is also a problem, the desk that guy is sitting at looks like it's in some sort of wobbly isometric plane. Something I used to do back in the day to figure out my perspective lines was to create a rough grid on a seperate piece of paper, and place that under my actual art to act as a guide while I created a (hopefully) convincing setting for my characters to operate in, it takes a little time but is totally worth it.
Anyway, I could go on but like i say this is turning less from constructive criticism to more of a rant so I'll end it here. Put some time aside every day (at least an hour minimum), and bang out as much life drawing as possible (paying attention to what you are drawing) in a sketch book, see what happens after a month, you may be surprised at the reults.
Hope this helps!
Peace.

Oh dude no prob, I not angry lolXD. But yeah I know that the last panel is fail, and there are many things wrong with the other panels as wellXD" I didn't really care to make it look right. I was just updating my comic, cause ppl wanted me to, even thou I said I would do like 40 minute pages. But yeah working from live references is always a good idea. I do it sometimes. But usally I am to busy to grab that anotomy book , and stefs like that. But yeah ish all goOD ;3

10/10

Oh jesus. I'd like to come up with something constructive to say but my brain has been struck dumb by how awesome this piece is!

Something about his stance makes me thing of Evil The Cat from Earthworm Jim, not a bad thing at all.
