MissionFailure's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ihadulca Il Immella]

Needs some work.

Looks like you need to practice some anatomy, the face profile is wonky and the arms are weird lengths. I suggest looking up some hand tutorials and practicing a whole page of just those, also colors are accurate to the character and that's nice. You have some potential, so just keep up the effort and you'll see results eventually!

Evil Zone was a fun games for only having one attack button and a block button. I tended to play the little girl more than the other characters.

SleeplessSaint responds:

Thanks very much for the constructive criticism. I have since learned a bit more about bodily structure. This is about three years old, but I'm still proud of this half-assed work. Nice experimentation with colors...

:) You are an art teacher, huh?

[Soldier]

touching

It hits gets me right there in the chest. I can't help but love and support this.

[The Last Frontier]

Lovely

Digging your color choices and subject matter! I can't really offer any helpful crits, since this is your style and well put together. A favorite by you for sure!

[The Black Chess Knight]

Thanks so much!

Once again I have to say you really didn't have to do that! But I will definitely be saving this, thank you!

[Shy]

Nice medium!

I know just how painful it can be to work with pastels at times! You did a wonder full job with this, reminds me of some of the more classical work I seen in several galleries, just lacking the classical background which in a way help reintroduces realism into art field with a fresh view.

The only nit picks I have are the lack of definition in the toes, hair and the some what odd shape of the shoulders, but as I've stated before I understand how difficult pastels you are using can be.

Odd as it may seem, I think if you keep at it, you may start to be this generations version of Norman Rockwell.

ornery responds:

The picture quality of this one is actually pretty poor, I'm hoping to get them professionally shot and updated when i have the time.

[Dead hand pg.6]

hmmmm

I like the rough style of the art, the story you seem to be presenting in this single page is a bit confusing as to what is going on. I like the speech bubble design, but it can be further confusing since you are using the same design and font for both characters. You might switch it up between the two so that it is easier for the viewer to identify which one is talking.

HimoruStar responds:

Thank you! I'll try to clear things up. : )

[KaiRUN]

Action!

I always like it when and artist tries to display action in a piece of artwork.

I'm in agreement with Zephyrduo about the feet, but I would also like to point out the shirt and arm that seems to be meant as a foreground object to help with the perspective.

While running the shirt should be pressed more to the front of the body, so there should be more deffinition of the front of the body rather than fullness that is present currently. Even with the up and downward bounce that is present in the clothing while running, you are presenting up with a moment in time.

The arm on the right throws me off since the shadow and angle of the upper arm is more in tune with the arms falling behind her such as the other on the left. Since it is in front of the body, the hand and lower arm should also be larger, were as it is now... only the hand is.

I would like to help offer you a red line, or a tutorial example if you would like that. In the mean time, keep up the good practice and hard work! You can only improve from here on!

[Mechanical Horse]

just wow!

Over the top and just plain entertaining!

The style and flow of the work just gives it that certain little pop! Keep up the good work!

Comick responds:

Thanks! :) Glad you liked it!

[Blood Skull Dragon]

LOD yay!

I loved that game...

However, the picture could really benefit from adding a bg to it and some sharper shading from a bright light source. I like the color choices so far, keep up!

[Winged Heart]

what?

If this is just a sketch practice, it really shouldn't be submitted to the art portal.

However, you should try redoing this picture while you have a reference of bird wings. I think you got a little to focused on the lines as you were drawing them and started to drift away from the look of the full picture.

Keep up with the practice! Don't give up!

killa1b responds:

I will redo this picture. Thanks because as I was reading your review I got an idea of how I can do this with more style and a decent background. Thanks, again.
