Soapbubble's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Loge]

Not bad

Really nice piece. The colors you used are really good, but it all seems a bit rushed, like you could've spent more time just making it look more clean. Then again, you might've been going for a somewhat dirty look.

The girl doesn't look too good, though. The feet and the face could've done some work.

[The Simple]

Wow

Robot art can be pretty interesting when it's not mecha-super-robots with guns sticking out their asses.

I love the concept on this one. Just a single robot standing out from the crowd, looking at something beautiful, a display of emotions from an otherwise cold and metallic robot.

The color scheme really puts an emphasis on this, and brings the beauty of the natural butterfly out. Amazing.

Nice style

I likre your very cartoony style, and is that Mindchamber?

Coloring is especially whack, such an acid trip just looking at this. The flying tobot looks badass, and the shading is simple, but very fitting for the style. I must say I love the background and the clouds. They remind me of candied floss or bubblegum. I want it in my mouth, at least.

UnderARock responds:

nope its not mindchamber, just a design that came to mind

[OTHER SIDE]

Amazing

This is by far the best Robot day 2011 piece I've seen thus far. Your grainy style is really amazing, and your attention to detail is quite astonishing.

I really like the concept here. At first i thought that was a mirror, and the robot was being self-concious, but I saw the girl on the other side. It still is a strong message, a robot with feelings. I like the sign in the top right, really adds to just that. I could see this animated into a really impressive story.

[Defective]

Impressive robot

The robot looks amazing, with the colors and details, oil spilling, stuff growing in the openings, but the girl looks a bit plain. It somewhat reminds me of those scrapyard robots from the old Transformers comic I read as a kid.

[Propagation]

Damn

I admit, i was skeptic to your submission to the Robot Day, but this is insane. The coloring really sets the mood on it, and the shading and lighting helps as well. The concept itself is creepy as hell by itself, and it just looks wholly badass.

[Outcast]

Clean-up

Really well done, atmospheric, but it could do witha quick clean-up.

The lighting really makes this piece look very tranquil. I like the detail you did on the robot itself, looks very fancy. The background is simple, but the strokes are really good.

I do think you could clean up the robot itself though, as some of the strokes are sooomewhat visible.

[Pencil drawing of building]

A bit rushed?

A good piece alltogether, but there are some minor changes you should make.

First off, this is archietecture, and even though architecture might very lively and organic, the lines should be completely straight, which they aren't in all cases on this piece. It's not symmetrical either, and it the perspective is a bit messed up. I suppose the middle section is pushed out, not in, but it looks like it falls into the building at that part.

The shading on the facade is pretty impressive, but the lighting and shading on the top looks a bit off, and the strokes of the pencil are a bit too protruding on the rooftops.

I just feel you could've spent some more time on this one, to make sure it was 100% complete.

Treborre responds:

Hey thanks for the constructive criticism, this was one of my first serious pieces, at the first time in my life sat down with patience and spent a lot of time on this piece (well by my standards!)

Can't remember how long exactly maybe 6+ hours, this was my first technical drawing and had no idea on how to draw just relied on my natural talent I suppose. When I got to the end of this drawing I got annoyed about certain areas and was pressing to hard with the pencil that rubbing out would make the piece worse so I continued to complete it and left the roof to last, hence the light source is wrong on it as you pointed out.

As this was an early piece I won't make any changes as I can look back at it to remind me off the errors of my ways, I am human and hopefully realise in the future I am constantly improving :-)

Creative

Nice to see you try doing something abit different this time, you didn't do too bad, but there are some things you should look into.

The ground really doesn't look that good, it looks more like the ground in an older game, with really large textures. The creature itself is creatuve and cute, the eyes are really good, but the feet look a bit weird, hind feet being different to his front feet. His right front feet looks like it's a part of the nose.

The mushroom isn't too bad, but there is a weird black line on the bottom of it, and the dots look somewhat bad. It actually looks like the cap is 2D, while the rest is 3D.

Give yourself more time with your work and don't stop untill it's really finished, and I'm pretty sure that'd improve it a lot.

okay, it was my first thing like this ive ever tried so im hoping i improve :)

[Colegio Mayor Peñalolen]

Wow

I'm stunned by the realism on th is building. The bricks, the shadows on the curtains inside the windows, and the architecture in general. It's executed perfectly, crisp quality. I don't have a reference, but I'm guessing it's a really good rendition of your college.

only thing I can ask for is really some more detail on the fencing and sidewalk/road. It looks simple and kinda throws the piece off a bit. Removes the perfection and realism in it.
