TCKnight's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blondie]

Great pic, all around. I'm loving the colors and the shading. And the background is stellar! The plane and contrail detail is particularly nice.

One piece of constructive criticism for future works: Her neck/head seem a little too far back; even with considering how far out her chest is sticking and the arch in her back. Centering the head slightly (very slightly) to the left could make her posture more natural-looking.

Great work either way!

[Power is a Sacrifice]

Wow! That was made in GIMP? I'll have to practice more once I get a new tablet.

[The Last Creature]

Wow, this just brings back memories of Shadow of the Colossus. It has such an ominous feel to it, filled with a sense of apprehension, uncertainty, and emptiness.

Squiggins responds:

Love that game :D

[Stolen]

Very clever
:-)

deathink responds:

Thanks man!

[2y Zoro]

I love anything one-piece related, so this was a great piece, IMO. My only critique is that Zoro's deltoids are Dragonball Z-big. He's more muscular than Luffy, but I can't recall him every being that developed in that area.

[Shatter *Fixed*]

Much better. Great image. If you don't mind my asking, what type of medium/art tools did you use to make it? I'm trying to figure out what I can do to make my drawings look better.

Thanks I'm glad you think I improved, I used Photoshop CS4
I use the brush tool with different density and opacity setting,
Layer effects include, multiply, hue, and a color dodge layer filled with black

[SHATTER HELL]

The level of intimidation I feel when looking into that single, yellow eye is enough to make this an A+ project. And the nudity only emphasizes a non-human perception of the body. It doesn't feel sexual, more like raw force of presence. If there is one thing that stands out as looking a bit "odd" it's probably the lower muscle on her right thigh. I think you made it too distinct from her thigh so that it bulges a bit too much. Otherwise, nice job.

Yeah I TOTALLY screwed that up and everyone catches on every site lol

[Caveman]

I think this might be the first image on Newgrounds that actually tugged on my heart strings a bit. The display of sadness was confusing until I noticed the caveman gripping the hand in the lower right corner. A whole story unfolded in front of me in that moment and the subject's pain became very identifiable. Very well done in capturing the emotion.

[Chimp Business]

Very stylish.

[Over Her Shoulder]

The style is great and the selection of character was great as well. I try desperately to avoid gushing over female characters in anime, but Juvia became an instant favorite when she started crushing on Grey. She may be highly illogical and a little crazy (like her absurd fantasies of Grey and Lucy), but she is so endearing in the long run. Only other character that comes close is Elfman, but for entirely different reasons.
