[Beerfish]

bloop bloop

That fish will be forever be an alcoholic. I like how the fish is gasping up and how we can see for it with those bubbles surrounding it.

J-qb responds:

glad you like!

[Toxic Bug]

Out of the 4 of your piece

this one is the only one that isn't a logo and photo manipulation of a picture.

You put good use on that stink steam that is coming out of the bug but the bug itself lacks things.

I can already see from zooming in that you must of use the soft brush to draw the majority of the picture, I can tell you now this won't give your image any sense of sharpness on the left side of the image "which is the bug face" (which also stands out).

The right of the image where the smoke is coming and the slime at the bottom is alright, it gives the image some sense of depth.

The left side (where the bug face is) is where you need work on, which also let me guess some of the tool you used that isn't giving your image justice.

It lack the entirety of the bug feel, my advice is looking through google image to find a good bug to refer to for ideas on the texture of the bug.

I recommend practice on hard brushes instead of soft brushes first. A hard brush allow contrast to be sharp while a soft brush allow a lack of focus on an area you soft brush (which gives a blurry look that is often abused to a point on being unbearable).

You were doing good at putting up a light source, but you stray off the mark by not giving shadows below the bug and not giving a direction of the light source in the background.

My advice is knowing the basics of art;

then practice what you can do on paper being the same on how you draw on a computer;

and lastly is to observe (I could of said practice but it wouldn't help if you don't know what to practice "ON");

so go to youtube to observe speedpaints, go zoom in on arts to see the details (this can help out on knowing how things are done), and lastly lastly come over to the newgrounds art forum (the art regs can give critique or advice or answer questions you need help on).

Just remember to keep all your art in your own thread that you have to create and to use the image upload button for every drawings that you are showcasing :P

Wow... This is the most helpful review I've ever got from anyone!!

Thanks man... As you can see I've never assisted to any kind of art class or school. This is all just... you know messing arround.

I just like drawing and making music. But I don't know shit about either one of those things haha.

By the way. That thing is not slime, it's like some kind of membrane... you know to slide or something. Yeah... it kind of sucks hahaha I'll try to get better, thanks for the review man.

[Aku Aku]

Do you have any advice

on feathers? I'm interested on how you got those feathers to look so exotic and varied, plus on how they look like feathers.

JoshSummana responds:

I looked at references to see how feathers flow in direction etc. Then when I painted them I exaggerated the curves etc so it looked more 'bountiful' lets say... and then just coloured them in.

[Redead]

remember those creepy bastards

I like how you drew the moment of their screams. The outer spit from the mouth looks like it's on its face then coming out though. Love the movement of the sonic wavy scream thing that you did.

GalenTV responds:

you are right i never noticed it
i think it l00ks like that because i drew the eyes in the lineart layer
thanks

[The Happy Machines]

Full viewing

Full viewing it gives it such a matching atmosphere :D

ImpendingRiot responds:

Yeah I wish it had scaled slightly larger on the pre-zoom version

[Collaborative Mural]

That some stylistic mural

I love art that goes all over the place, boat, bird, ying yang, etc. The entirety looks fun.

Spags responds:

Thanks mang :D, I appreciate it. WE had fun making it too!

[Metal God]

Never heard of him

But I got a good impression of him now.

Merol responds:

He's the leader of Judas Priest and one of the most influential guys on heavy metal!

[Friday Flood]

Snowmen can be dangerous too!

They are like lawn gnomes but with a tendency to melt out of season >.> Great work with the snowman fifty, it even have stitches O.o but I bet the front shadowing that make it evil or deadly could be heightened with a moon in the picture ;D

Fifty-50 responds:

If I'd put a moon I think it will look too crowded. Considering I have the Friday Flood logo and the red writing. And thank you.

[I DONT WHANT YOUR BEANS]

What a waste of good capable beans D:<

Great textured and detailed pic, the dynamic foreshorten bean at the left serves its purpose and boy, how aggressive D: You could of at least add shadow under the arm and I can't tell if he's forwarding and the neck isn't visible or that it's a head on a body.

J-qb responds:

He doesnt have a neck which is the origin of his sadness which he expresses through anger

[Spoon of Doom]

The horror of being consume :O

Lol, the bean could survive if the spoon continue to tilt like it is now. I can't really crit much what had already been said but I will say that adding shade or light on the teeth could show how mouth watery the eater is ;D

Luwano responds:

I even tried and rotated the spoon, to see how it looks. But it appeared more dangerous to me, if it goes a little downwards. Like down into the deep black pit of our digestive system. ^^

There's a little shading on the teeth, but again it's too little I guess.

But saliva would have been a great idea... why didn't I think of that?

Thank you for the review!
