Soapbubble's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Cavern]

Looks like the inside of an asshole

===============
Score: 6 / 10
Summary: Looks like the inside of an asshole
Review: Nah, I'm messing with you. It doesn't look half bad, but I did have some problem making out what it was.

I'm sure it looks better put in context with the rest of the flash (the ocncept art looks great). I'm not sure what the "border" is, and even though I can make ouot that it's a door or something of the kind in the end of the tunnel, and I really can see it's a tunnel, I'd like to see some more detail on the inside of the tunnel. Also, it really is too red.

Fro responds:

The picture is basically a screen shot of the flash so you're catching it in mid animation. This would be where the person was walking from normal to mysterious cave.

Thanks for the review.

[Colourful Joy]

I like the effect

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: I like the effect
Review: I'm not sure what effect you've used, but I like it.

I actually do see the rose in there, but only barely. I like the turn it took, from rose to this abstract piece.

It's not as soothing as the other pieces, more annoying to me. Which isn't necessary a bad thing. Looks kinda menacing =P

It really is bizarre, and it looks great. The dark colors with the light colors in the edges, and the "rice"-effect, it really crashes together and gives the piece that little something.

[Candle of Life]

Very well executed

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Very well executed
Review: It could've gone horribly wrong, but I really like the way you did this. My guess is that a lot of people would just see colors, but this was really soothing towards my eyes. Relaxing, of sorts.

The color combination is great, and it really brings out the fire. It's grungy (or something like that), while clean. It perfectly represents the not-so-perfect life every human lives.

I'll have to complain about something, so I'll say that I'd like the flame to look more like a... well, flame. I'd also have to agree that there might be a little too little in the actual piece, but I guess it's minimalistic abstract art, eh?

[aging up]

Good idea - if done right.

===============
Score: 2 / 10
Summary: Good idea - if doone right.
Review: This looks really half-assed.

I suggest you take more time on your drawing. This needs a lot more attention to detail. It simply looks too rushed, even though there is shading added.

Smoother strokes, better filling coolors, shading might be a little off, needs more detail, and it'd be cool if you could add an age under each picture, to show how old they're supposed to look!

ok thanks

[Shark]

Not half-bad at all

===============
Score: 7 / 10
Summary: Not half-bad at all
Review: I agree that this is a well-drawn shark, but there are som minor flaws.

First of all, the shark looks great. Proportionally, that is. The colors are also really good. The background also is perfect, and in total, the picture is relaxing and soothing.

The outline is sketchy, and the fin we see looks weird. I can see where it joins the boody, but it still looks really weird. Also, the jaws don't look right.

Overall a nice shark, but not the best. Could use a few minor improvements. Fin, mouth, outline, mainly. Oh, and you might wanna make the body longer, after the fins.

SeaBoundRhino responds:

I found it very difficult to get the fin to join in the body properly, I thought it looked fine, but obviously I was wrong. Thanks for pointing that out :)

[Modern Day Man]

Great idea

===============
Score: 7 / 10
Summary: Great idea
Review: Art doesn't have to have a message, but it often is better if it has a message. This is better because of the message.

As I said, this has a great message, but the drawing itself is not detailed enough. Shading looks great, but the proportions aren't right.

Arms are too short, and the hands are too small compared to the rest of the body. I guess there COULD be a genital in there, but with the message, it doesn't need it. Fits.

Also, it kinda looks like the legs are simply directly attached to the body, without anything else in between. Make some wider hips, if possible.

I see how the greytones fit the message, but some kind of message would fit well in here. I'm not sure what, though, so I guess I'm kinda helpless there.

Good luck!

[Wind-Tanken face]

Interesting

===============
Score: 6 / 10
Summary: Interesting
Review: I won't lie, this isn't a very good piece.

Despite that, it's really interesting. The colors are soft, smooth and feel great, but it simply doesn't look like much. It would've been okay if it was abstract, but this isn't supposed to be abstract, it's a face slowly disappearing.

I don't really see the disappearing part, I can see a nose and what I think is a mouth, but that's about it.

Make it clearer, what's what, and we might have something here.

Yes. I understand.

[Black gold sculptue]

Pretty neat

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Pretty neat
Review: I have to say that this looks so much better in full size.

Had I not seen the full size, I'd probably not give this much more than 5/10. No bullshit.

Abstract doesn't necessary need to be detailed, but this one is, and it looks awesome. Abstract is supposed to look like everything and nothing, and that's what i see. I could've sworn I saw a Jeep and a Pikachu in there.

As Haggard says, it'd be nice if it was more centralized. It looks pushed to the edge, and cut off, which doesn't look very flattering.

Thank you:D

[The Beast:Final Cut]

Absolutely incredible!

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Absolutely incredible!
Review: This is absolutely not something I'd expect from the Art Portal. This is stunning!

Wow! Just, wow! Even if it wasn't as big as it really is, this would be great. The original size just shows how detailed it really is. It gets you in the mood, with a dark atmosphere.

I love the concept and originality of it, too. Looks great. I can only wish for it to be animated :P

[Tricky the clown]

Great sketch

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Great sketch
Review: Congratulations, you caught my first art review!

Hopefully, that's a good thing. On to the review:

I really like the style! It really looks like straight out of the series. Love the details on the hands and face, it's so detailed that I'd almost think it was a trace.

I'd also like to see the colored version. Or better yet, a remake, that is colored.
