Soapbubble's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eva Ling Re-Design]

Not bad

Not a bad piece at all. Too bad the scanner mesed it up.

Your lineart is pretty good, though there are some parts tha look a bit off. Her hands for instance, dont really appear to ahve wrists. THen again, I always found it hard to review space art because of the anatomical differences.

The coloring is good, but a bit sharp. there's not much gradient and not much texture apart from the strokes. Shading is minimal, and you should've focused more on that, a gradient shading and some lighting.

The background looks good, brings the focus on the character but fills the void and makes it less empty.

LittleNerdGirl responds:

Thank you for the rating and the tips! I agree, after inking and coloring (which is always when you notice mistakes, right!) I was like "Oh crap.." But what can you do by then? Just hold your head up high and be proud what came out. I am upset still the scanner really messed it up, it seems it doesn't like picking up the water colors well, and with the shading I agree. I need to by some Water painting paper, I just use what I have at the moment, not the best for water painting. This paper better for pencils and marker. I always liked my line work, ALWAYS! I think thats what I am best at, I just need to hire a painter or someone to color it in for me heh. But again, thank you for the lovely comment and review :3

[Donkey Kong Stage]

Amazing

Best piece I've seen thus far today.

I would've been a huge DK fan if I had a console to play it on back in the day, but I could only ever play it at friends' place. ANd I loved. I really remember stages that looked like this.

You did amazing on this. The attention to detail, the textures on the surfaces, and the shading, wow, I'm amazed at how well you did the shading and lighting effects. THe colors are so good, real true to the original. Love it.

JoshSummana responds:

Much appreciated :) im glad you like it. Trying to keep the super vibrant colours all those games had haha :)

[Karun]

Cool OC

Really cool OC, absolutely, but it doesn't appear to be a very refined piece.

For instanse, there is abrely any detail or texture to the piece, and the shading and lighting isn't very well done. I love the way you drew the character, and the sword is badass, but it isn't very detailed, and looks quite flat.

Could also have done with a background of sorts.

Cenaf responds:

I dont like to draw a lot of details, no idea why. The drawing was aimed to be "flat" or so.
Anyways thx.

[Peaceful Corner]

Yeah

I always figured I'd like to live on the countryside, because the aliens would never bother to look around forests and such for people. They always just went straight to the huge cities and killed everyone there first.

Amazing robot right here. I really like the detail. The line art is a bit sloppy at times, and the city is very simplified, but it all ooks really good.The shading is especially good, considering the multiple lightsources. The sky in the background is pretty good as well, seing it affected byt ehe explosions and fires with a somewhat red sky. Real cool.

1600 responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I did kinda rush the line work so it's not as good as it could be.

[Commission 2]

Wow

This is amazing. Here's to hoping this gets the attention it deserves on NG.

I love the colors you used. The piece practically jumps out of the screen, it's very bright and looks amazing. The lighting and shading looks amazing, you did some real good brushing on it. Really like the illuminating flower in her hair.

Background looks really amazing, not sure if I like the bold yellow lines that run through it, but other than that, an amazing piece.

HimoruStar responds:

Thank you so much! :D

[SURE YOU CAN]

Fighting games, eh?

I wish I liked fighting games, but I just can't get into them. I'm more of an RTS-kind of guy.

Anyway, I like your cartoony style. Especially the fact that you take the tame to do proper lighting and shading. It looks simplistic, but also very well done. The coloring is also real good, and the text is pretty cool.

Torogoz responds:

Thank you so much for taking the to write such kind words.

[Mickey Mau5]

Eeey

Funny little piece. Like the cartoony style, can't see I see much of mickey mouse in this though.

I like the simple shading, the lighted outlines of the character really makes it a bit more clear. It's a bit simple, not very detailed, and you could have added a background and some better lighting effects.

Carbonwater responds:

The pose/body is taken directly from Mikey.

[Buddha's ninjas]

Quite like it

I think the best part of this piece is the coloring. It really centers the focus on Buddha, with the aura and colored characters around him.

It's a sketch, at least I think it is, and it looks like one. There are a few too many lines than necessary, though I think you did a great job on the lines and folds in the clothes.

Trungles responds:

Thank you so much for writing a thoughtful, critical review :)

You're right, this is essentially a sketch, but I wanted to preserve the structure of the drawing and leave no part of my draughtsman's process to the imagination as a piece. The lines on the folds was where I thought I overdid it with the lines because the way a knee looks when it's coming at you is difficult for me to pull off.

I think everything you had to say is totally spot-on! Thank you.

[jason cover 1]

Dirty

I like the dirty and grimy look you gave the cover, IMO that really fits Jason. He's not the cleanest person around.

The color scheme really helps in making this a pretty terrifying image. I'm not sure what I think of how Jason looks though. His neck seems a bit long, and the proportions seema bit off.

afiboy69 responds:

thanks, well i mean there is no real proportion to compare him to. u only see his head and his jacket draping over him self... so the bottom kinda fades where the detail stops.

[the blade of fire]

Wow

Quite teh stunning piece this. Most all aspects of it are amazing.

The character herself looks very amazing. the lines are great, and the shading and lighting from the fire makes it look a live. The hair is also just amazing, and the same goes for the detail and intense look in the eyes.

The shadow on the dead bodies also looks pretty good, I think you could've done some more work on those corpses though. Flames look a bit unrealistic too, but I like the sparks in the air. You could maybe define the background a bit more, too.

ramymagdy responds:

thank you ..... I wanted to make the main character more defined than her surroundings... everything else is a little bit fuzzy.
