Luwano's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Copper and Gold Chainmail Cross]

I enjoy to see an interesting crafting / smithing submission. The photo setup doesn‘t really present it very well though. My opinion is, that it could help if you posted a few shots from different angles in one pic or one main shot and two or three angles in the comment section. The large empty space doesn‘t help the presentation either.

Other than that, I enjoy the workpiece itself. Chunky crosses work well for medieval jewelry and the fact that it‘s madd from chainmail adds to the charm.

Looking forward to see more of your stuff.

Crazy-Tom responds:

Thank you so much for the critique and advice!! This helps a lot as I’m hella new to Newgrounds! I’ll start prepping some proper photos right away for other pieces

[Inktober day 22: the knight x shetland sheepdog]

This is one of my favourites out of your inktober drawings. Love the armour and the sword designs and that crest on the shield is just hilarious. Been enjoying all your inktober dogs so far. Pulling off the pose and perspective is hard, but you make it look easy.

DantonSlip responds:

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like this one! I used the weapons designed I made for the day 16 ^^

[Clock Crew Force]

Dunno how to review this. It's more than a regular piece of pixel art, it's an actual slideshow of pictures. So kudos to you for that smart use of the gif.

I like the individual designs made from combinations of the well executed asset parts. My fave is OrangeClock force.

Happy belated clock day and keep on spreading that clock spirit each year.

ScepterDPinoy responds:

And may their spirits never die.

[Magical Crew]

This is hilarious. Great idea and inpressive pixel art. Happy Clock Day!

moawling responds:

Thank you so much! Happy Clock Day to you as well!

[Clock Day Pinball Edition]

Oh wow this is awesome. You put in a lof of details and they animation is a giant party on its own. Nice job.

Happy Clock Day!

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Happy Clock Day to you too. :)

[Catification]

Fantastic work! I love how the cats' heads and bodies just emphasize the sharpness from the claws and teeth. Goes perfectly with the slit pupils too. Awesome colors.

ThePsychoSheep responds:

Thanks :D

[Depressed Monkey (T-Shirt design)]

Despite the splendid, design of the monkey, I really wanna compliment on the background. It' very subtle, very unobstrusive. All the more pushing the monkey in the foreground. Well done.

Kkylimos responds:

Thank you very much my friend! I had to come up with a bg design that would fit in a t-shirt print. I tested a few ideas but i do believe this one was the best looking one and , as you said , it compliments the character. Cheers!

[Founders of Clock Crew Assembled]

Wow! Great job. I love the blue lights on the clocks, they look especially impressive on RaspberryClock. Awesome StrawberryClock Mech overall, I love the many details you added.

What do you mean with the wallpaper? Same elements, just a different layout?

Happy Clock Day!!!!B!

ScepterDPinoy responds:

I just used that wallpaper for my desktop to celebrate Clock Day 2015. I cannot tag this wallpaper since tagging both submission for Clock Day is against the rules.

[Valalt]

Awesome concept, great composition, impressive execution and above all, wonderful colors. There isn't much to critique here. My only nitpicky issue is how her ear doesn't have an edge on the right side.

I love the facial expression, it kinda rounds off the whole image. The brushes you used are very interesting and work really well, especially for the hair.

Great work!

TaraGraphika responds:

Thank you, though, by your standards (your entry) You seem to emphasize detail on texture. Which surprises me that you don't criticize my lack of texture rendering. I can't argue about the ear, but surely, your attention to detailed on texture, does not reflect upon my artwork.

Cause dude, when I looked at your entry, yours are truly better. Thank you again for the PM and review, helps a lot. Encouragement is always welcomed:)

[First Boot]

I love the level of detail you used while still keeping it "rough", kinda ... "alive". Sorry I don't know how to express it any better. My fave is probably the USB plug. Overall I am a huge fan of the robots backhead. It's obvious they are mechanical parts, but they could as well be organic if you squint at them for a second or two. The perspective works really really well. I'd almost like to peek around the robot to see what the face looks like. The background is spectacularly interesting without taking attention away from the girl and the robot, nice job on that! My only two little complaints are the head of the girl which seems a bit huge and like Cairos said, the floor around her. While I didn't consider spare parts when I first saw it, he is of course right about it. My initial thought however was some sort of scattered cords leading from the keyboards and so on to the robot. I know it is there, but it's too thin, orderly and not very prominent.

Nevertheless, I think you came up with a cool concept and did a splendid job drawing it. The title is a good addition too.

Great work!

Havegum responds:

Thanks man!
There's definitely some conceptual and compositional issues to be resolved. Like maybe she doesn't need a wall of servers back in the hallway and it would be more sensible to have equipment to make or modify the physical parts that goes on the robot?
Again - thanks for the feedback!
