Luckytime's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rose Garden]

I wonder how much time it would take to animate this with a little breeze. Good god, looking at this gives me a happy feeling I can't describe. To you it might be nothing special but it's somehow therapeutic for me.

Carrion responds:

I'm so glad you like it. n,n

[Skein]

I love this, you lost half a star because of the roughness in some places, but I could see this being in an art museum. It's funny because this is the first time you uploaded something where the pattern filled the whole canvas and it got frontpaged. Maybe someone's trying to tell you something.

I think the discoloration was a happy accident, it breaks things up and gives you something to consider. I would love a 1920x1080 wallpaper similar to this.

Eagleon responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean, there's places where life got kind of fucked up and I beat the shit out of the paper. Top right in particular was a fight with my dad. It was also really difficult to get enough lighting, I started in November when it still felt like summer basically, clear skies for weeks at a time, then sudden bleh. This is a mandala, basically, done a section at a time each day the sky was clear.

I've wanted to fill things out like this for a while, but it's taken this long to work on my sense for value for it to make sense. Working on figure drawing next, just trying to diversify the textures and living forms I can achieve - I want these to breathe when you look at them :3 And yeah, the only worry is that the discoloration is from the paper itself and not my clumsiness. The latter I can work with, but it'd suck never being able to use a tortillon for this.

Thank you for the comments. I'll try to get some wider stock, or maybe trim down a page to work as a wallpaper - it's been in my head too.

Cool idea, would love to see more of these. I would suggest you try to not mix styles. For example you did the whole character in a cel shaded style but added those rough looking action lines on top. Everything needs to feel the same for the picture to work. Keep it up.

BakayaroDaWickrayz responds:

thanks for the review Luckytime!
will try to do so on the next work :D

[Brainglitch]

I tried to scan it with my phone, now I need a new phone.
Great job, the fact that it doesn't repeat makes it very nice.

LexRodent responds:

It's a QR code from hell. Thanks, glad you like it.

[Asterix Commission!]

This may not be relevant to the art as much as it is to art culture, but I'm disappointed by how the men all have different body types and proportions while the women only share one. The qualities of a character tell you about their personality. Giving someone orange hair and big feet for example makes them solely unique in that way, and allows you to attribute those qualities with their character as you become more familiar with them. So when someone makes all their women have one body type it shows a subconscious belief that a woman's looks take priority over her uniqueness as an individual. I'm not mentioning this because I have a problem with it, it's just the first thing that caught my attention.

As for the drawing, my biggest issue is that many of the lines are drawn with an awkward inflection. It reminds me of clip art which is probably a bad thing. A general rule for laying out characters in an environment is that you want them to stand out over the background. In this case you made almost all the background lines heavier than the character lines, which is the opposite of what you want to do.

doublemaximus responds:

I understand what you're saying, but I was only sticking to the original styles of the comics which I have no control over style. As for how the women seem 'generalized' by looking 'attractive', I was only doing what the commissioner asked, which was to make her and her sister 'more flattering' and redirected me to the women of the Asterix comics for me to take note on how a certain female character was drawn.

[Ryūko Matoi Sprite]

In response to your comment, while it's admirable of you to try to give her head the "correct" proportion, it still wouldn't make sense in real life. Her age is 17, so even irl she would have a bigger head than that. Anime styles do exaggerate, but you overcompensated here.

The other way to look at it is: you replicated the proportions for the rest of her body, so why did you only change the head? One way or the other you need to stay consistent for the style to work. Other than that, this is pretty dank.

morganstedmanmsNG responds:

I did get alot of requests to make the legs and arms smaller... (because making her head bigger is harder). I'll upload it later... if you think it's better... i'll delete this

[jeeper's peepers]

About the art, there are too many mid tones for me personally, but you did a good job with the parts you did work on.

On a different note, I think the fact that everyone fills a different niche is fascinating. I wish I knew why certain people draw creepy stuff for example while others draw primarily cute stuff, or sexy stuff, or "cool" stuff. Your content is a direct reflection on what is in your head, that's why I love it so much.

MrCreeep responds:

Totally agree about those midtones. Note taken, thanks for the feedback! BTW awesome art dude!

[Animal Crossing Town]

Whoever voted 3 probably has lots of hentai in their favorites. This is very respectable and shows what hard work can do for you.

Notes:
The rhino/hippo lady in the front looked like a hello kitty gone wrong until I took a closer look. I would try making her nostril stand out less and add more definition to her face. The hedges in the foreground look good, but I don't know if they're necessary. They certainly don't need to be that noticeable anyway. I would have loved some cloud action up there, a lot of the sky/background space is wasted and makes it look spatially imbalanced. The well and the lamp post are perfect where they are, they add a nice asymmetry to the house. The house is way too dark, it's further back than the pine tree yet it's darker. The pine tree is seriously stunning... maybe my favorite part. Excellent overall, A+.

FelyneA responds:

Thank you for your detailed feedback! I appreciate it, I'm going to take your notes and use them to improve my next work.

[Fallout 4]

I like the way they're both turning their heads together, makes you wonder what they're looking at.
A little tip: Light usually get it's color from bouncing off colored objects so it's not often this saturated or localized. This makes it look like they're at a club. The dimmer the light the more saturated it can show up so you could've had some really cool looking effects by softening the atmospheric light and laying it down hard on the edges of the characters closer to the right.

pinkujira responds:

Thank you!! I will be sure to keep this in mind and apply it next time :)

[Evangelion Unit-02]

Really digging the light effects, like the shadow behind the robot. This kind style could be very good for storyboarding.

YakovlevArt responds:

Thank you. I hear storyboards are great work, but I've never done it.
I'll take the compliment.
