Hoeloe's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ocean Sun]

Okay, what?

I swear I've seen this render on my school's screensaver system...

Weird.

Nevermind, decent modelling, lighting is a little odd on the rocks, and there seems to be a strange glow where it touches the water, otherwise a good render.

[Eternal Law]

Simply Brilliant.

Fantastic art, great lines, well coloured, and the inclusion of Easter Eggs, which are always fun. Nothing I can say criticism wise, simply perfect.

As for the Easter Eggs, I believe I see Link on the street below, and shortly ahead of him, I see Cloud. The other character in on the roof on the right hand side. Not Isaac, but Jak I believe.

[Reisen]

Loving it.

The lines are good on this piece, but it's the shading that really brings it out, particularly on the hair, fantastic work with the colours and lighting.
I'm a big fan of Touhou, and Reisen is one of my favourite characters, so I may be a little biased, but I think the artwork is utterly fantastic. Very well done.

[SoulEater: Maka]

Excellent.

You really got me here. I'm a huge fan of Soul Eater, and Maka was one of my favourite characters, since her character was somewhat similar to my own, making her really easy for me to relate to!

Really good job on the art. Smooth lines, great shading. Just a few comments I would make is that her right hand looks a little large, her lips a tad big, and Soul looks a little round. However, these aren't major points and don't detract from the quality of the piece. Love it.

It's..OK

But that's all. The shading on those flat rocks is very off, in fact, it took me several minutes to realise that the one on the right WAS flat. The castle in the background looks dreadful. It has no perspective at all, and looks really flat, maybe add a little bit of an angle to it.

The anatomy also is dreadful. The guitar guy's head is too big, and his legs and feet are too small. The other guy's arms are too big and his head is too small, and his shoulders are at a weird angle, making him look a little...off.

Apart from the castle and the anatomy, the line art is very good, and the most part of the shading is too, but the colours bug me a little, particualrly the purple on the guitar. It jumps out a bit too much and draws away from the whole feel of it, perhaps tone down the saturation. The other guy's skin colour is also a bit odd, it's very grey, and doesn't look right. However, I DO like the red of the fire around his hand. Very vibrant, and without lines, which really brings an impact into it. If I were you, I'd switch the colours on the guitar and the purple fist. I think it would look a whole lot better if the only really saturated section were the flames of their attacks.

The piece as a whole is OK. Nothing special, nothing dreadful. I've been focussing more in this review about what you can fix, rather than what is good, so I don't think it's completely dreadful. However, I do think that you could really do with making a few changes to it.

Yeah, there were times when I just wanted to get the thing over with since I'm busy, it was rushed and what not..

But anyway, the color, of the "gray skin guy" is really his skin, thats really the color, I could of colored him purple, but that wouldn't be right.

I had to expirement with the Guitar guy, I didn't get it right.

Now that I look at this, I don't like it, and I feel I wasted my time.

[mistel]

That's fantastic!

Truly a masterful piece of artwork. I love it greatly. Although, the cartoon-style face and hands don't seem to fit with the surrounding detail, but aside from that, this is a most excellent piece.
