Kilcra's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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!

[Glow Of The Sunrise]

I think you did really well with the background. The bricks in the houses are just scarce enough to work. I'd put something on the walls tho, like picture frames or a shelf, to make the room feel less empty. It would contrast really nicely with the open sky too :)

drjoshfox responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you like the piece! I always appreciate feedback, Next time I work on a room I'll try to fill it out more :)

[Loosen Up]

Love how springy and bouncy his scalp is, you gave it great weight! I like the animation, and the color palette is working super well. Is this character part of a larger project, or was this a one off?

KeithGarces responds:

A simple one off! I was doing a lot of freelance work so this allowed me to relax for a bit. Glad you enjoyed!

[Fanart for #drawthisisyourstyle]

Love that rattle! The character has a great outfit too, the oversized zipper is super cute. I think the snake has a few too many white highlight marks on him, but he looks good overall! Great stuff!

KoyariCGO responds:

thanks a lot, I'm super happy with the feedback: D

[Amber 2k18]

Very charming character! Love that tribal design on the scythe, and the energy coming off it softens it and makes her much more approachable. Lots to love here :)

Lobsteritus responds:

Glad you like her!

[A Gift to Roksim!]

I love how dynamic the shapes are in this character! Your style really emphasizes how bottom-heavy the character is, and its really really cute <3

9Hammer responds:

Thank you Kilcra!

[Over the Garden Wall]

The atmospheric perspective on the forest frames this wonderfully, and the clear distinction between fore, mid, and background works super well here. I never watched this show, but I hope cone-head dude gets where he needs to go, he looks determined!

NightMoth responds:

Thanks a lot! :)
It's a fantastic show, I totally recommend!
