Kilcra's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[OneShot]

This game didn't get nearly enough attention. Wonderful art.

[Is That All You Got?]

You always make the characters look so squishy in their ropes, like their bodies are being affected by how tight it is. I love it!

JFrancisFright responds:

Thanks! Go tight or go home, that's what I say XD

[Beach Directions]

I love him xD

[Flareon Run Cycle]

Ahhh that tail fluff is so bouncy! I love all the secondary action in the hair, tail, ears and neck fluff, and the motion is super springy! I noticed it goes a little too fast when Flareon is in the air, and I think the leaps would look more convincing if there was an extra frame or two. Right now he's falling back down a little too fast, and those leaps look like they'd keep him in the air longer. It's a really fantastic running animation, and he looks so determined!

Risenshiney responds:

Aw thank you!! Thanks even more for the critique! No-one else had much to say crit wise on other places I've put this, so its nice to finally have one lol. There were just 7 frames in this altogether, so yeah I coulda done more. Everyone else was like 'So smooth for 7 frames!!'

[comic cover art]

This is so stupidly good, I love everything about this. It's so lively, but it's still highly rendered and full of tiny details and lighting effects. Brilliant work, and congrats on having the opportunity to do a comic cover!

ToqaReign responds:

Thanks! : >

[quick animation]

Fantastic! Love the exaggerated expressions and energy here. I think the first few motions are super strong, but the splat and the slide down don't have any weight. I think it would be a good idea to have one or two extra frames of follow through to show the character's weight bounce backwards from him hitting the wall, kind of like jelly jiggling after its hit. Same thing when the character slides to the floor, this way his mass reacts to the friction on the floor. This is really solid and ambitious, and definitely impressive for "just messing around in flash." I love this type of animation and you captured it very well!

[FUTURESHOCK]

Love the texture here, and the clothing folds are perfect. Wouldn't want to see this in a public restroom.

[BIG MUTANT LAD]

Love the mask, he looks so bizarre with the one eye poking out and the 3 breath holes on each nostril. Very cool and grotesque design.

[MariChat - Safe, by Aurora Lynne]

There is a wonderful, and possibly intimidating, amount of detail here and it's awesome! I can only imagine how long this must have taken, and the work really shows. I would edit the tones in the characters, because they're too close to the background color, and it sort of muddies together. I think it would take this piece to a new level if you brought out some of the blue in cat-noir's costume, killing some of the red and separating it in temperature from the background. The details are super wonderful here, and I think it would benefit the piece greatly to add that little bit of extra contrast.

auroralynne responds:

Thank you! Yeah, I'm not used to drawing detailed backgrounds so this took a while (and a ton of references!). I agree with your critique, I'm trying to use color dynamics in more interesting ways lately and this is efinitely something I'll take into consideration! Glad you like it!

[AH Hanna]

This style is really well balanced! She's style super feminine even though she's got those ripped muscles, and I feel like its because you kept her hips wide and her shoulders narrow. I adore the fast colored lines and efficient shading. Really awesome work, I love the style!
