Luckytime's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Screenshot Redraw: Lapis and Jasper]

This is the reason I'm following you, I can tell you went all in on this one. so I'm going to judge it more harshly. It's just the way critique works.

The lines are still rough overall, which shouldn't have been too hard to clean up, it's so frustrating when you see something you like only to zoom in and notice all the flaws. You also lost some of Jasper's expression in the encoding process, she looks more tame here and her eyes don't seem to connect with Lapis' eyes. Nice job on Lapis' expression though, but her mouth looks super flat. It could use more dimension. Last of all, and the most unforgivable thing is that portion of the background in the top-right. Even if you traced it, even if you left it blank, that would be better than blatantly reusing it in your own work. I hate to see such hard work ruined by something like that.

CookieTheCrusher responds:

Thank you for the critique! I appreciate it!

Mandy as a boy, as raven? Pick a damn theme.

nitrile responds:

nah, i'd rather just do whatever the fuck i want.

This is the biggest canvas you've used yet, it's a sign of improvement. Not to mention you took on that sexy long hair.

Cairos responds:

Biggest canvas? Mmn, not exactly. The original size is much much larger. As for the hair I'm just glad I didn't have it billowing in the wind like usual.

From conception to completion, how long does something like this take?

P-cate responds:

Like an hour and a half or two aprox. Maybe three?

[The Birds]

DUUUDE, you should just keep doing animals. I don't think you could ever go wrong with them. The only other good animal artist on NG I know of is AntiDarkHeart. She's worth checking out if you want to go that route.

TheLoyalMeat responds:

Thank you man, appreciate the kind words :). I've just checked out AntiDarkHeart, she's got some fantastic work, just seen her dog drawing..breathtaking

[Can you guys help me?]

Why do you need help? Are you going to do something with her or is this just practice?

Taffytoad responds:

I needed help naming her but I think I've decided to name her fuschia. And I hope I get the opertunity to use her design in the future.

There's one thing that brings down the whole picture and that's how far her face comes out depth-wise. It makes her look like an android with a detachable faceplate. Other than that it's nice.

Pelboy responds:

The depth of the face is actually intentional to highlight her invasive gaze. It makes us question ourselves on a similar level. Are any of us truly human?

Only joking, I made myself ill writing that ha :) thanks for the feedback! I'll do a pass over with what you mentioned and post the results, cheers!

[date night with dad]

Great work as usual.
I only wonder... how would this character look if you interpreted him as a girl? :)

nitrile responds:

i dunno, he's fine the way he is now.

[Bunnies]

Oh my...
you brilliant psycho.

P-cate responds:

HAHAHAHA

I like the art, the edgy flavor text just killed it for me. As a principle, I don't have respect for people who value their message to the point where they will compromise the purity of their art by reiterating it in a different medium. The whole idea of doing that is just repulsive to me.

Fifty-50 responds:

Yeah I understand where you're coming from, since it seems to be over compensating for the already dark tone of the painting itself. I think it all boils down to preference, but I can respect your perspective on the matter since it's actually a valid point of discussion.

I myself just wanted to have a kind of basis for interpretation for the viewer if they ever decide to assign meanings to the symbolism in the painting, although I can also see the disadvantages of doing so as it limits the capacity of the viewer to form a variety of colorful interpretations.

I have to thank you for your input as it made me come to a realization that I wouldn't have deigned to notice otherwise. Although to be perfectly honest I don't really value the idea of art itself as I'd rather know the reason for its creation and the messages that are behind it. To me, art for art sake is simply not engaging as a work without a soul is only a dead display of skill. But that's only my opinion.

You know, pretentious art school reasons. haha
