Kilcra's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[EXTRAVAGANT (COMMISSION)]

This is so stupidly cool! Love how those red irises pop out against the teal, and all those optic nerves in the background make a super cool texture!

Ruedefaux responds:

thanks a lot :D

[Fawn King - Art Trade]

Can't help himself if there's a camera in front of him ;)

[Octopusboy]

Aww I love this guy's fashion sense. Rain boots, short-shorts, crop-top, and octopus back-pack is definitely a creative combination. What a cutie <3

[D&D - Wild Shape]

Oh man, I love how excited that little baby one is! Extremely cute design! Is the watermelon used for anything?

acgats responds:

Eating, I suppose!

[Eyes]

I really like this freaky-cute look! I'm curious what you don't like about it tho, because it's definitely interesting!

Mancartti responds:

To indulge your curiosity, I suppose what disappointed me really stems from my own lack of skill and understanding. I feel that I really just struggled with bush work, color and saturation and it creates areas that come off as jarring. I feel that I also over-rendered/over-worked the image which showcasing my inability to easily simplify visual information. This I feel creates a disharmony of visual aesthetic and I am at odds with myself about just taking this picture down.

[Froggy]

Where ever he's going, he's sure happy about it! I love his doopy face!

[Stretch]

Hahaha holy shit, that's awesome!

[Fish]

Aw he looks like he's having so much fun!

[All aboard the steam train!!!]

Awww I was just watching some old steam train episodes. This is so great, the characters' personalities shine through so well and I would totally buy this if it was a poster~

flopicas responds:

Thank you so much!!!

[Play Sick Gamu]

Loving the aesthetic! Black on pastel so catchy, and you worked it in here great!

The colors on the screen don't work as well, and I'm not sure if that's intentional (I know a lot of artists who use similar aesthetics and they like colors that don't contrast enough, like an affront to color theory, which is pretty neat). The yellow symbols on the screen are very difficult to see on the light blue because the colors are very similar in value and saturation, so I would have gone with one of the other colors in the palette for that. Again, I don't know if you were going for that look, but thats just something I noticed.

Really great stuff, and I'm really liking the look!

MatthewLopz responds:

i tried more saturated yellow for the heart/face and didn't like the result so i sticked with this one, but you're right it's a bit hard to see, tho i still prefer it than a more saturated yellow, maybe i should have changed the color of the screen itself idk, thanks for the critic!
