Decky's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grim Raper]

An amusing piece. The colouring on the cape (or whatever it is called) gives it a great texture and the shading is highly successful in bringing the image of the page.

My criticisms would be that you should see even the smallest bit of wrist on his right hand and the lower end of the staff seems to be coloured a bit poorly compared to the rest of the picture. These are minor issues though and over all it's very good.

ToonHole responds:

Good crit, thanks!

[Destroy]

Nice piece of graffiti work. I like the use of colour and the detail on the guy. I think that the lead from him to the writing could have been improved slightly in the middle but that the only thing I noticed.

[Phone Home]

A most unusual piece, I like the simplicity of it although I think that the legs are a little too simplistic and a bit pixelated in the middle. Also the background could have done with some more time spent on it, maybe making the alien be stood in an apartment or some other setting. Other then that it's good, keep it up.

[NG Portraits - JustSuds]

Not bad at all, I'd say that this is scout worthy. It's a shame that you only have this one piece at the moment. That doesn't mean that you should rush getting three others up and have then be bad quality.

If I was to pick fault with this piece I'd say that the hat could do with some work as it doesn't appear to have much of a texture and the horizontal lines on the rim could have been done better. Also I can't help but get the feeling that the left eye is slightly too far to the left. Other then that stuff it's a good piece that you should be proud of.

Well done.

DiroNomer responds:

Thanks. I appreciate the advice.

[Anime girl]

Hmmmm....I believe what you have here is a good start. The next step would be to highlight the lines with a black pen then use Photoshop to colour it and add shade. Before that though if I was you I'd add a little more detail to the hair and torso. After that you should be left with a good looking piece of anime.

Thedark responds:

I agree with you Decky

[Smokobot]

Great for something that has been done on a canvas instead of digitally. It's kinda hard to poke holes in it so I'll have to nit pick. I'd say that it's a little to dark at the top of his head and hard to make out the hair (if that is what it is). Other then that I can't see anything wrong with it.

AssKiller responds:

Totally agree ! A few zones are way too dark. I might retouch it. Thanks for the feedback !

[Deadman Wonderland Shiro]

Nice piece, I'd class this and most of your other art works as "a good start". Basically what you need to do know (in my opinion) is get your hands on some drawing software. It doesn't have to be one that requires money like Photoshop, you could get GIMP which is just as good but free. Then what you need to do is make the lines darker and add colour or if you prefer to keep it in black and white more shade, finally a background, even though not a lot can be seen of the background in this piece it's always nice have something there.

MaartenC responds:

I've had recommendations of GIMP before, I'll seriously consider it now. Everything till now has been done with hand, which is indeed a tad... outdated, but I do like it.

I'll see what I can do, thanks for the advice.

[Ironman Ms Paint]

Great to see that you are posting new art work. The name of this piece suggests that it was created in MS Paint. I simply can't believe that, not that I'm doubting you it just looks too good. I seriously can't think of a way to improve this. Brilliant

[ChamAlien]

It's ok although it looks a little too shiny and plastic for my liking. Other then that though it's a great piece of 3D art and Mudbox is clearly something that you could use to create some great artworks.

juturnal responds:

I Agree with you completely! Overglossed!

[Ao No Lloyd]

Not bad, the text could have done with being a different colour or in a different place so that it stands out more and maybe a little more time spent on detail would have been good. Other then that though it's a decent piece.

ScottCanDraw responds:

Thanks for the comment, i'll take you're advice and try give my drawings a bit more attention to detail in future.
