CloudEater's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[DICK-BOT]

D-bot!

Hopefully the admin see this and make D-bot... but anyway this is done really well although the shading and line art could be cleaner. The glow you've used works well and makes him seem more shiny and 3d. I think his face is a bit simple and you should have emphasised the emotion more. Very nice character overall.

hhaha Nice

Your really quite good at animating. I think with this although his mouth is animated really well you need to animate the whole character... eg. his eyes should get bigger and then shrink again and his body should move a bit to emphasise the action. I also think you should add a bit more to it like simple colours if your going to submit this stuff to the art portal, otherwise use the flash portal and aniamtion forum.

Fawx responds:

i dont really care about the art portal. im just doodling.

[Coming Undone]

Awesome

I really like the style and character. I think you could work on the shading more, I think 2 newgrounds artists that could influence you are Fifty-50 & johannek as it seems there styles are in some way similar to yours. Also you should try and draw complete pictures with a background even if the background is faint or just a few lines it's still better than nothing. It's really cool and you should work on some more art ;)

['Lightbulb Frog']

Really cool.

This is heaps good, I don't think it would look nearly as good if it wasn't animated. I think it could have worked better if the background wasn't the same colour as the frog and if there was a stronger more defined light coming from the bulb. But apart from that I like it :)

Butzbo responds:

Hheeyy thanks a lot for the feedback, i really have to improve the colors and contrast.
Weeell have a nice 'cloud sandwich'!

[Not Long Now]

woah man!

That's a really great design, I didn't notice the band name at first. Perhaps make it stand out more that way someone will be able to read it off of someone wearing the t-shirt as they walk past...

[The Black]

Game?!

I can see this style working heaps good in a game with some glow effects and stuff like that. With this style because the foreground is completely black and simple you should try and do a bit more with the background.

Luxembourg responds:

I can't animate, I don't have the tools to animate. :/
I agree about the background. Looking at it now, this piece is actually a little boring. It's far too simple and it's quite flat. Even working in all black, I could have added smaller hills with smaller trees around the main hill, their size giving the effect that they're farther away. I just neglected to add more to it, and I regret that.
Thanks for the review, and I'm glad you like it.

[Characters]

Nice characters

They are very interesting characters, you should draw more of them. The white background is bad you should always try to add some sort of background.

Luxembourg responds:

The lack of a background really hurts most of my earlier submissions to the art portal. I don't do that anymore; even if my backgrounds are bad, I still do them now. They really are pretty enjoyable characters, and I've been trying to work with them recently, though I keep worrying I'll destroy their original charm; I did so in the new piece I made with the girl, Ophelia.
Thanks for the review. A lot of people have liked these characters so far as I've seen, and I like that.
