Djoresh's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Devil's Drummer]

That soul has become part of the worst instrument to be tortured by. Nicely done!

I couldn't reply to your question before, ( you can't reply to a reply apparently )
Anyway, I have seen some work of Arthur Rackham before, but never remembered the name. The other artists are also really good, thank you for pointing them out, I will check some more work of them.

Looking forward to more illustrations

gavinvalentine responds:

Glad to hear it EmeraldPhoenix! Thanks for checking out my work and commenting. =)

[Mummies Alive Nefertina]

Great armor, I don't know the show though. I didn't see an armor type like this after searching google. Did you designed it yourself?

I like the pose and colouring

Scavenger25 responds:

No i took desing reverences from the original char nefertini. you can google it by searching mummies alive ,nefertini. i changed the armor a bit more detailed and fit it to the year 2015. thanks for u like anyway XD

[The Garden]

It looks so simple and yet it is very interesting. De composition is great, I can feel my eyes being drawn inside this illustration, well done.

YakovlevArt responds:

That's what I hoped for. Really pushed my abilities of playing with scale, composition, and lighting. I think that's one of the reasons I knew i had to build it in 3d first.

[The Devil's Tubist]

I really love this style.

So far the devil's bassist is my favorite of them all. I am really curious about the last one.

These drawings remind of a book filled with fairy tales my mom used to read to me as a kid (nostalgia kicks in) . I believe Anton Pieck made those drawings...? Is your style inspired by him by any chance?

Looking forward to more illustrations!

gavinvalentine responds:

Thanks EmeraldPhoenix! I have heard of Anton Pieck, but he wasn't a direct inspiration. Have you heard of Arthur Rackham, Charles Vess or Brian Froud? Those are some of my favorite artists. =)

[Heavy Traffic Area]

This took you 1-2 hours? With a full month I might come close to this...

Great illustration! extra points for the WIP video!

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks :) Nah, use brushes and big shapes, it won't take a month :D

[Joker]

Oh god, this thing just keeps staring!
Good job on making it extra creepy with those eyes.
I would like to write more, but damn this thing is creeping me out. Good job!

GGTFIM responds:

hahaha
thank you,man!

[Hey There Gummibear]

Great shading and understanding of anatomy, at least the lower part... the upper part I am not so sure...?

I like how you hid a face in the tentacle mass

UrnSudden responds:

I appreciate that you found the face! ah!
Thank you :D

[Ascension]

It's not my style, but it is clear you put allot of work in this. I like the colours and the enormous amount of details, you can look a long time at this and still find something new.

LittleLuckyLink responds:

Hehe yeah, usually by the time I end up "finishing" a painting, it ends up sitting on my table for like a day until I'm finally done with it and there is no more to fill in. Thank you!

[Bounty Hunter]

Wow! So much eye for details and great understanding of shading.
the earthly colours are very subtle and I can easily imagine him walking in the dessert for his next target.
You hit the mark, colouring, shading, anatomie, design it's all here

shammiemaa responds:

Thanks a lot! :3

[Ruskie Rune Cycle]

I can't help but see a guinea pig

ShadyDingo responds:

LOL yeah, that makes sense :P With textures it will likely look better haha
