Celx-Requin's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hands]

Well done...

Hello,

I really like your use of colors, and the gentle shading you give everything, the colors you use give off a great texture, and everything seems really organic.

Great drawings, specifically the overlapping hands were cool and well done, I dig how unique you made each of them.

Although I like the piece, I don't quite understand why you didn't draw nipples, not doing so makes the art seem off to me.

Other than that it was very cool,
Sincerely,

Glad you liked it!
I actually didn't want to draw the nipples, i don't know, I just thought it would look better this way, and I like how it looks! But I completely understand if it looks off to you.

THANKS A LOT!!

[Prometheus]

Very Cool!

Hello,

I like it, the only thing I can really say against it is maybe you should have inked it, I think it would have made the colors come out "sharper", and more abrasive.

Lastly I think I would have given you a higher score if the pattern was more complex.

Still I like it, good work!

Hacsev responds:

I understand what you meant by sharper, but I couldn't do anything about it. Anyways, if I had made the pattern more complex none of you would understand it. Thanks for the review anyways!

[got milk?]

This is great...

Hello,

I think if you removed the blood it actually could have been "got milk?" ad.
I mean there was a "got milk?" ad that featured mario back in the day.

Man I miss Earthworm Jim, anyway when are you gonna get back to creating flash cartoons man? The portal is in dire need of another "last minute shopper", maybe not a sequel but something similar for sure.

fear not, there is another amazing x-mas special in the works!

[Madness Is Eternal]

Wow Lady!

This is great however I need to disagree with the poster below.

While Ralph Steadman does make similar use of colors, your work is closer
to that of Gerald Scarfe.

Since the warped autonomy of the characters you draw is closer to his work, than Steadman's.

I digress this is great, was it done by hand?

linda-mota responds:

Jeez, I need to look up these artists, they sound awesome. I'm more inspired by the 30 days of night artist and some other manga artists, but that's off topic.

Yes, everything was done by hand. the red was painted on, and some back ink was thrown in too. Thanks for youe comments! =D

[Fibble and Sin]

Most excellent!

This should be the cover of a deluxe edition of your comic should you ever release one...

It's really well done, gotta love the photoshop!

Thanks,

Comick responds:

I was thinking if I could do anything with this...I might make it the graphic on the back of issue 2 or something! Not sure yet. But thanks! Glad they turned out well ^^

[Sea in a Coconut]

Tropic of Cancer...Anyone?

Hello,

I really like this, I like it so much I've added you to my favorites along with this piece.

I digress, your use of color is fantastic, the way you've lightly mixed the light blue with the "harder" blue is really subtle and well done.

The pattern in the sky is again fantastic, there isn't really anything wrong with this piece aside from the woman's feet seem to need more detail, as they aren't as clearly defined as the hands you've given her.

Thus making her seem somewhat more abstract than perhaps you were aiming for.
I caught the little castaway reference too, although it invokes the same feeling I got from reading the "tropic of cancer", it's a good book you should pick it up...

Do you do commissions?
Something like this would be cool to have in my office.

Sincerely,

Merol responds:

Hello!

Yeah, I suck at drawing feet and I specially suffered with this one, I had to remade them several times, I think that's noticeable.
I actually don't think she looks abstract, maybe a bit cartoonish.
And I'll definitely try to pick up that book.

About the comissions, I've never made one before (you are the first one that ask for one) ,so, send me a PM and tell me exactly what you want.

THAAAANKS A LOTTT for your review and for adding this picture and me to your favorites, I really apreciate that.

[Midnight]

Exquisite...

Hello,

I really like the way you made everything so organic in terms of placement, you made very good use of the "canvass".

I like the colors, and the black "grassy" bits add to the dreamy quality this has.
It's really good, but because it's photoshop I shall need to deduct points, very rarely is photoshop work worth really high marks in my eyes.

Thanks for the review!

[Mind Control]

Elegant in it's simplicity...

I like the way you mixed the vector based art, with what I assume was photoshop.
The character is cute, and like all of your other work has a graffiti aspect to him.

The shading, and the awesome background were both nice touches,
I think there is a message here about media manipulation, but I'm not quite sure.

Anyway it's good for what it is...
Sincerely,
