Kashi's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[C.O.W: Abdominal Snowman]

Welp...

Although the character design is pretty good, the background is lacking terribly. I think you can spend some more time on it and make it just as cool as the creature. Maybe removing the pencil lines behind it (or what looks like them) would be an improvement.
Also, I can't help but think this is more suited for CHoW, AKA Character of the Week. The abominal snowman looks like a man with no head and cut off at the knees, with a lot of fur. You can see the defined biceps nd clear shpe of the torso. As stated in the CoW rules, the creature it not supposed to bear any human resemblance.
Rules aside, the actual creature looks cool. You did a swell job on the fur and the face has a great expression. Keep it up.

Toast-Tony responds:

Thanks kakashi, i know i have a lot to work on when it comes to backgrounds, i might go back to it and improve on it then re submit, i know it's based on a human body, Turkeyonastick let me off with this, i know i was pushing the boat out a bit. Thanks a lot for the advice dude :)

Herp a herpa herp

Loving it. I like how you use only a few simple colors and form some awesome aquatic creature. Great pic this month ToaS. :)

[Swamped]

Very neat.

This looks really cool.
Good job makind the hair appear kelp-ish, in a good way, lol :)
Its not often you find such a great artist using SAI.
The writing in the background really gives this piece a nice affect too.

[Water Lady]

That is...

A very nice costume you've got there. However, I find it a little busy on her right arm (our right). The straps aren't really necessary and take away from the wild look she has, in my opinion.
Nevertheless, it is a pretty solid piece. Keep it up Riot! :)

ImpendingRiot responds:

Cheers for the review :)

[Kingfisher]

Wow

I think it was great how you captured the moment of impact when the bird dives to snatch its prey. Great job.
The way you made the splash from the bird and the bubbles escaping its beak and feathers is just awesome :)

J-qb responds:

Thanks!

OHMAHGAWSH

THE FIN IS CUT OFF!!! /RAGE

[Loloctopus]

Tee-hee

This reminds me when I was a baby and would thrash around in the tub :3
Good times...
Anyways, great job Fifty, its looking great.

Fifty-50 responds:

Thank you Kashi! :D

[Deep sea lurker]

Woah...

Holy fish Batman!!!

On a more serious note,
I like the lighting and glow coming from the holes, and the eyes are really cool. I wish the eyes would have the same glowing effect as the holes do, but it works nonetheless.
The fin on its back could use perhaps a bit more definition from the rest of the body. The same-looking skin/scales could look much improved with a little bit of variety.
Still, great job!

Havegum responds:

Yeah, I was at a point where I kinda wanted the eye to glow, but I wanted it to be seen as an eye and not another one of those spots.
Thanks for the review!
Happy friday flood!

[9th and Hennepin]

Meh.

I like the perspective on this one, its really cool.
However, it looks rushed; I would have like to have seen the time and effort that you put into your first attempt. It would have looked so much better.
I don't like the way you smeared her makeup. It looks like she has black eyes instead of runny mascara.

Aigis responds:

Luckily she does have black eyes rather than runny mascara. And not everyone has a week to do every picture. I'm sure you know this.

Review:

This pice is really busy, compared to the other Flood pieces.
I like how the background is left pretty simple. It doesn't need more detail than that.
As for the rest of the picture, it could use more contrasted shading. Instead of using different brightness of the same color, try moving around on that color wheel! Don't be afraid to shade an orange shirt with some blues!
