Luwano's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rocket Powered Cat]

Poor kitty....

...sacrifices itself for the flood.

I like how you managed to include the thumb. The additional objects are really funny, especially the aliens who remind me of Kang & Kodos. As said by others before, the background could use some additions.

Havegum responds:

Indeed poor kitty ...
Kang and Kodos? I'm gonna have to look this up.

And yes, the background is very plain. I suppose I should've added some clouds and whatnot ...
Happy friday flood!

[Friday Flood: Black Cat]

Interesting

I really like the colour scheme. All the black and purple along with the strong contrasts make it look very interesting. It seems kinda unreal, like in a dream or something. While her pose is calm and relaxing the lines and the drawing style seems very fast and wild. Nice take on the theme.

[Reincarnation Fan Art]

That's a top-notch-super-duper...

mega-uber-perfect-brilliant-amazing-fantastic-appropriate-suitable image for the month of october, good sir! Suits the season, suits halloween, what more can we ask for? VincentGrey's pic would go better with a colder month btw.

I love the colour scheme, I love the motive and I love the damnation reflecting in his eyes.

So: Impeccably calendar-worthy!

Gah!
Cheers for the world-play, Luwano. Looks like you're a guy who reads review responses ;)

[Everything, by Everyone]

Wooohooo!

I already liked the forum post, but it is even better in fullview!

It's like a big bang of newgroundness. Even though it's a still picture, it is fun to watch and to discover one details after another.

Really good work, I keep my fingers crossed for your piece to be part of the calendar.

5/5 & 10/10

[Mighty Morphing Power Rangers]

Yeah that's fantastic!

After all the Power Ranger wallpapers and all the waiting, this came out as the worthy finale of the previous works.

The different poses give each ranger his/her own personality and own dynamism.

Really great work and I'm glad you managed to top most peoples expectations after the single versions.

I agree, that it looks better without the zords, even though they themselves looked good, too.

5/5 & 10/10

[Blue Ranger]

Power Rangers look good

Ok, so far we have seen 5 Power Rangers and they really look good, the style suits them well, they make good wallpapers and I like the different poses a lot.

There is just one question that bothered me when I looked at all of them: Why is there no shading? Not a single shadow or lightspot. Don't get me wrong, it looks good, but I think lights and shadows would definitely add to that good look.

Judging from your other stuff, you obviously did it totally on purpose, not out of laziness or cause you "couldn't do it". What leaves me with my question. So.... why?

5/5 & 9/10

Blud-Shot responds:

What you see in the wallpaper are flats. They have no shading or lighting like you noticed. Once I finish the last power ranger I will add them all in one poster and I will add shading and lighting.

The wallpapers are something different, I have too many semi-realistic digital paintings. Its fun to see something different sometimes. Rest assured though lol I will give them depth later on.

[Black Omen]

Sooooo....

Ok first off, I'm not one to call "this deserves frontpage" usually AND I'm not even a big madness fan. But come on, this is an impeccable frontpage-worthy drawing.

Some may think it's a little dark, but for me it's pushing his eyes out even more and underlines how he poses a threat to everone around him. Half-hidden with his hand on the hilt of his sword ready to strike, that's just perfect for the motive.

It would be a good promotion for the Madness Day Art Contest, too.

In the end, I'm not the one to decide over frontpaged submissions and not the one to judge the Madness Day entries, but I definitely keep my fingers crossed for you. Even though I know there are still many high class entires like this to come.

Good luck!

5/5 & 10/10

Blud-Shot responds:

Thank you very much for your review. I never had a front page before and I don't even know who selects it and what is the criteria for it.

I did have the aim of making Hank look like an extreme threat to his enemies. I've seen some madness movies and the characters wreck like over 40-60 people.

[Smoking Hobbit]

Nice little Hobbit

The hands and feet are a little small, but I will overlook this for now. :D

It's pretty precise for watercolour and he really looks melancholic, good job.

TariC responds:

Thank you ^^
I know, that the hands and feet are too small... I still have much to learn.

[The woman without a face]

I guess you got this wrong

PixelArt is something completely different. It means you more or less drop in every single pixel to create an image. What you have here is just pic with low resolution.

Other than that I kinda like it. Even though I would love to see "The woman with a face" instead. It has that painting look to it, but really looks unfinished.

KayaKure responds:

I know that I have placed it in the wrong category, and I have tried to change it, but it's like it not want to change it.

She were never meant to have a face, but I will maybe make a version with face when I got the time :)
