MissionFailure's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shy]

Nice medium!

I know just how painful it can be to work with pastels at times! You did a wonder full job with this, reminds me of some of the more classical work I seen in several galleries, just lacking the classical background which in a way help reintroduces realism into art field with a fresh view.

The only nit picks I have are the lack of definition in the toes, hair and the some what odd shape of the shoulders, but as I've stated before I understand how difficult pastels you are using can be.

Odd as it may seem, I think if you keep at it, you may start to be this generations version of Norman Rockwell.

ornery responds:

The picture quality of this one is actually pretty poor, I'm hoping to get them professionally shot and updated when i have the time.

[Dead hand pg.6]

hmmmm

I like the rough style of the art, the story you seem to be presenting in this single page is a bit confusing as to what is going on. I like the speech bubble design, but it can be further confusing since you are using the same design and font for both characters. You might switch it up between the two so that it is easier for the viewer to identify which one is talking.

HimoruStar responds:

Thank you! I'll try to clear things up. : )

Action!

I always like it when and artist tries to display action in a piece of artwork.

I'm in agreement with Zephyrduo about the feet, but I would also like to point out the shirt and arm that seems to be meant as a foreground object to help with the perspective.

While running the shirt should be pressed more to the front of the body, so there should be more deffinition of the front of the body rather than fullness that is present currently. Even with the up and downward bounce that is present in the clothing while running, you are presenting up with a moment in time.

The arm on the right throws me off since the shadow and angle of the upper arm is more in tune with the arms falling behind her such as the other on the left. Since it is in front of the body, the hand and lower arm should also be larger, were as it is now... only the hand is.

I would like to help offer you a red line, or a tutorial example if you would like that. In the mean time, keep up the good practice and hard work! You can only improve from here on!

[Mechanical Horse]

just wow!

Over the top and just plain entertaining!

The style and flow of the work just gives it that certain little pop! Keep up the good work!

Comick responds:

Thanks! :) Glad you liked it!

[Blood Skull Dragon]

LOD yay!

I loved that game...

However, the picture could really benefit from adding a bg to it and some sharper shading from a bright light source. I like the color choices so far, keep up!

[Winged Heart]

what?

If this is just a sketch practice, it really shouldn't be submitted to the art portal.

However, you should try redoing this picture while you have a reference of bird wings. I think you got a little to focused on the lines as you were drawing them and started to drift away from the look of the full picture.

Keep up with the practice! Don't give up!

killa1b responds:

I will redo this picture. Thanks because as I was reading your review I got an idea of how I can do this with more style and a decent background. Thanks, again.

[Scroll]

It's okay

For a tattoo you would need the entire subject matter to be inside the picture.
If this is a scan from a sketch book, as it looks like, it would be better to run the picture through a art program to crop the extra white space, and at the very least auto adjust the scan. Also the top of the scroll should really have a line, as is the eye has to imply the edge. The side of the scroll rolled up on the right is squished and conflicts with the implied thickness of the roll on the left, try making it a bit more circular, and that will help continue your theme a bit better.

I see lots of potential, and you should keep practicing, but the current execution is sloppy and shows little effort.

killa1b responds:

Thanks, and btw, I actually put alot of effort into this. I'm new to ink and I've been experimenting with different techniques. I erased the lines on purpose just because of that, so your eyes can imply the line. Obviously, a line wasn't needed because when you look at the picture your eyes draw it for you.

[cheeky_taokaka]

love, can't help but think of the 'boobie lady!' story plot.

My fav character from BB for sure! Well, her and Bang...

Keep up the awesome art!

Merlemage responds:

haha ya Bang has that rad theme song when you get his special, da dada da daaa! makes me laugh everytime

[Exile Asylum Girls Character]

simple but fun

I would totally use that as a pin up girl for some military equipment. Just saying.

Darth-Spanky responds:

haha..that'd be awesome.

[: Take In My Pain :]

ouch!

First off, I love how emotionally blunt this work is. I'm also totally infatuated with those freckles.

Some things kinda stick out at me though. It would have been lovelier if they had complete bodies and or some hint of a BG. These are just my opinions though, as I understand the reasoning behind the lack of either.

Keep up the good work!
