Zalfurius's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Steampunk Character]

Hey man. Love the colour scheme you've got going on this guy. Just a few issues with his general proportions, for example, his hands are a bit on the small side. I think you would benefit a lot from using some reference images to draw people as practice. The shading's alright, but you don't have to limit the shadows to only follow the edges of each outline (I did the same thing for a really long time), you can give more depth to the image by playing around with the shadows a bit. Nor do the shadows have to always be simply darker, you can play around with the saturation or even slightly different colours for some interesting effects in the shadows. I'm just being really nitpicky though because to already be producing art like this is very promising :) Good luck man looking forward to your next piece!!

TGarms responds:

Thank you! I'll keep everything in mind! also, yeah whenever I was drawing him I felt the hands were a bit small, I tried to fix them a bit, but I guess I didn't enlarge them enough. I'll keep working and I'll keep submitting more pieces for helpful critique!

[Attack on Titans]

Ho ho yeah this is great keep it up!!!

[Don't crow me]

Haha :) you know that might explain where my friend's missing guinea pig went

[Flash]

oh MAN this is gnarly!!! that shading is the good kind of brutal!

[Mega Magica]

i love it!! and everyone looks more intense than in the original image too. you totally nailed the poses. the only nitpicky thing i can find is that lucario's snout look a little off from this angle. but this is still an awesome drawing all the same!! PS: i've been doing something similar with pokemon and attack on titan ;) great minds think alike!!

zerochan923600 responds:

Hee hee, thanks! I guess I didn't give her snout enough attention, it is a bit 2D, what with the lack of nose and the weird stripe down the middle. Oh well, I appreciate the comment, good luck with your poke titans!

[Zero and Rei]

Awesomely vibrant and you executed the lineart to perfection, plus your characters look original, really hard to fault this!! Maybe you could add some highlights? anyway, nice work :)

zerochan923600 responds:

Thanks mate! I swear I hadn't watched card capture back when I invented these guys, and I was crushed when I found out that show not only had a flying orange cat, but a flying black one too! XD I guess it's not the concept, but the execution that counts. Haha, thanks again! I'm glad you pointed out the lineart, I'm personally pretty proud of it too.

[cc collectible]

Awesome man, you totally captured the spirit of the game in this!!

min3ralWater responds:

Thanks! That means a lot since it's probably the most important thing with fan art. Thanks for the review!

nice solid colours, is that copic? as for the linework, i like your style, but the lines have only two thicknesses (thick around the outline and thin inside the image). while this is aesthetically pleasing, you could raise it higher and experiment and taper thick lines on the inside more, wherever you feel needs it (such as where the chin ends under the fangs if that makes sense)

you're on the right track, i think we both approach art in a similar way, keep it up dude!!

BTWComics responds:

Hey thanks, yes it is copic, I'm trying to get a larger variety of markers but i felt that with this piece I was more confidence with what I had. Thanks for the advice, I have a large range of liners and will try and use them to the best effect next time!

[Rocket Raccoon Issue 1 Variant]

awesome work dude. the art portal needs more copic art

danomano65 responds:

Check out my gallery! I have 4 Star Wars copic covers from last month!

[Hello, Death.]

awesome art, i like the shading on the hair, and the face is spot on, even with the funky emaciated mouth thing lol
