reverend's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lighthouse]

Wonderful

Nothing says art than a work with a lighthouse in it, heh. I see some great use of impressionism in this piece and it's well used. The details in the clouds and the contrast with the light is vivid. The piece overall is dark, but the contrasting light of the light house and the clouds really highlights the detail of the light emanating from it.

However, I'm not too sold on the detail on the right of the light house. I think it should be straighter, especially if you have the top of the lighthouse and the railing of the light part fairly straight the side will need to be as well.

Overall it's a wonderful piece aside from some minor issues and I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the review! I see the issue now that you've pointed it out. I'm bad about detail with paintings sometimes because I want to see results as fast as possible so I rush.

[turtleco cutout]

Sweet

I really love your idea of having a piece that actually has form and function. The turtle is great looking, but doesn't seem all that big. Regardless it's a great idea and with some card stock and a slot on the top of the shell, it'll make a great turtle bank. This was a very original and wonderful idea turtleco! Kudos!

turtleco responds:

well I can't quite think that its original considering renaenae had a cutout contest some time ago, but I'm glad I made this cutout all the same.

[Last Combat]

Amazing

I really love this piece and it's a nice take on Vinci's Last Supper. I love the fact that it had most of the Madness characters there without underling the main focus of Jesus. I haven't compared but it seems that you have most of the characters doing the same actions as the real version especially the clown with his pointing, the gestures of the guys on the right, and most importantly of Jesus.

Very clever and overall a great piece. Keep up the good work!

Izzy-A responds:

glad you noticed the details. I tried my best to incorporate similar gestures as the painting, but I didn't want to just copy them directly.

[jabbavader]

Pretty good!

I'll give you this, this piece is very creative and imaginative. I would have never thought of replacing everyone with Darth Vader.

Regardless, it is pretty funny especially Leiavader, who still looks pretty good in the slave costume. I think something more could have been done with Jabba's pet. Maybe make the mouth into more of a beak shape. I love the golden vader (C3POvader) though it needs a little more detail in his arms and mid-regions. As for jabbavader, it's perfect the way it is.

Overall it's pretty original and amusing piece you have created. Nice work!

doctormario responds:

Cool man. thanks for looking.

[sun]

Okay

While it is a nice picture of the sun it really is kind of bland. When I imagine the sun, I imagine a hellish fireball burning in the emptiness of space. I think this picture needs to invoke some more of that imaginary. Perhaps some more solar flares shooting off and make the sunspots more contrasting and reduce the thickness of the glow just a bit and make it more asymmetrical.

gr33bl3r responds:

thanks for the review! and yes i totally understand what you mean! i tried for like hours in blender to get good looking solar flares but in the end the only thing i achieved was a weird looking loop thing coming off of one side of the sun. thanks for the review!

[Memory Leak]

Funny!

I really love the humor behind this piece. The robot is simple in design and him doing his business with one and zeros is pretty clever. Heh, God forbid he would have to take a memory dump in public. Anyways, I love the overall simplicity of this piece and it really delivers on the humor. Good work!

Mufanza responds:

Thanks a lot man!

[P-Bot Working]

Pretty Good

I had no idea that you had submitted work to the Art Portal. This particular work is simplistic and amateurish, but it get's the point across. Who hasn't just broke out some crayons and drew what's on their mind. Clearly it wasn't meant to be realistic, but rather just representative of P-bot and the symbology that he represents and this accomplishes that. A very interesting piece.

Hacsev responds:

Thank you so much, reverend! :)

[Its all part of the plan]

Awesome

This work is very impressive. The attention to detail is outstanding and very realistic and is probably the best I've seen of the Joker to date. This work really does that scene real justice.

Keep up the good work!

Neilss1234 responds:

Thanks alot :D I just thought it was an iconic scene nobody had attempted yet :P
