Djoresh's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Type-ALAR]

Looks really good. There is no such thing as silly in my opinion.

A little nit picking, her left hand blends in with her mechanical wing, maybe you should have made the contrast a little stronger.

good job.

LuisEC responds:

thanks! I tried to make that change. I don't know when the image will update. I pushed the contrast a bit.

[Day 2 - Centaur]

I like how she is looking almost loving at the apple

LurkinPanda responds:

Glad you like it.

[Ehm [Awesome Title Here]]

I like your shading of the folds, they are very subtle and soft.

A little tip to prevent illustration blindness: Select all layers, turn them horizontally. Switch a few times between them, you will almost immediately spot any flaw.

In photoshop I use these shortcuts: [Ctrl-A] [Ctrl-T] [Right-Click] then select [Turn horizontally]
then use [Ctrl-Z] to switch between the turned versions.

ShayInator responds:

I think that might have been my problem, I think I flipped it too much, so I got blinded to both versions. xD

[Scav]

really nice colouring

[Rabbitmancer]

This one is really nice. Great expressions and design. I like the pose of the Rabbitmancer, especially how he holds his staff.

I can't really point out anything bad. Just something what I personally would add here is a few dungeon tiles under his feet.

good job

["Down to earth"]

A great illustration. You make good use of perspective and composition to make it interesting . Not much to be nit picking about.

How much hours have you spend on this piece?

Artarrwen responds:

It was hard to keep track of the time I've spent on this. It was done over a week, each day varying from half an hour to about four hours of work.

[Opposite day photo shoot]

Well that is the truth unfortunately, put some boobs in it and your views will skyrocket. But is that really the audience you are after.

There are plenty of people who are looking for something original and actually creative, but they are sometimes easy to overlook, because most are following their primitive instincts (not going to lie I also fall for it sometimes).

Just paint what feels like is a part of you, not what people want you to make (unless they pay, ofc.)

About the painting. It looks good, but there is still some room for improvement, keep it up

min3ralWater responds:

Thanks for the review! I actually like drawing people. Girls mostly, but you're right. People looking for perverted images and porn isn't really the audience I want to attract. This was more of a test to see if the art portal really works this way. We'll see how it goes...

[Headache Tree]

Ah, so it was that thing trying to crawl trough my skull a while ago.

ThePsychoSheep responds:

A-HA!

[Emerald Phoenix]

Amazing, I have been looking at it for several minutes and I am still very impressed by all the details. The phoenix looks also very cool and the city gives it a great fantasy setting.

I am curious about the little orb, is there something special about it? Is that his eye that rolled out of it's socket?

Anyway, it turned out great. Challenge accomplished I'd say ;)

coltybah responds:

I'm glad you like it, it was fun to make. Since the phoenix is newly born I wanted to make it look like a little baby bird.

The orb is in fact a phoenix eye, it is symbolic of its past life, also take into account that the ash pile is shaped like an upside-down bird, a shadow of the creature's former self, now just literally dust in the wind.
