HeavyTank's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[MM02-MRN]

WOOTS

Looks completely awesome...but how the hell did you make it completely on Photoshop?
Also, what do you mean by "textures from.."?
Didn't you say that you made it?

Guhin responds:

Ha. Alright, I made it by drawing out the lineart, coloring, and shading with my wacom tablet, and then enhanced the pic with textures. Textures are just photos are different textured objects that often make a digital piece of art look more realistic, depending on how well it's textured. The reason it says "texures from.." is because I know of a good stock photo site that offers hundreds of texture pics meant to be used in just such a situation. And the most professional thing to do when using such a picture is to credit the source. It's mostly professionalism. :D

[The Sole Owner of Wings]

Triple woot

Hey, if this was made entirely in Photoshop, well, shit, l am impressed...
I love the fact that you only used shades of the same color but the pic still looks like it has some depth...
The only thing l don't like is the head, which looks a bit fucked up for some reason...l would love to see more of this, you are really talented!

KrevZabijak responds:

Yeah, gryphons tend to have gnarly beaks and a very angry, angry forehead. Usually extremely feathered necks and heads, but I wanted to put emphasis on the wings for that. What exactly did you not like about the head? (PM me.) I might do another in this style because I had the pleasure of walking through the Lafayette cemetery in New Orleans and there's some striking stuff there.
http://www.geocities.com/aclisto8/gryphon4.jpg Was one of my.. 9 or so reference images. Just to elaborate on the beakage.
And it was indeed all PS CS4. I have no tablet.

Also, thank you for the kind words. I just started graphic artwork after not doing any for a good.. four years or so. I do take concept requests, as well.

[Joyful Chaos]

Heh

It definitely is joyful and chaotic, although the style of the original pic was given to it by its dark colours, which here are inexistent..if you want my advice l could suggest that you put in some darker colours and give it a precise shape...still, it's a very nice piece of art.

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Thanks for that:)

[Space Core]

Haha!

This looks really great, you chose the planet's color very well, it all fits nicely into the style of this pic...to be honest it reminds me more of a bombarded plante than a UT3 core, but it's still awesome...

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Thanks for that. Well, the inspiration was an exploding core, so you are in the subject.

[The never-ending secret]

Not bad

The idea is very good and creative and the dark thing in the backgrounds looks really mysterious but the whole pic is just a bit blurry...try creating it again with a higher res...

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

Thanks for that. The problem is that whenever I set the res it becomes scrambled again... I dunno why.

[Dark Spirit]

Cool

I really like the shading, makes it very mysterious, the dark parts were really cool, overall they make a very good impression...
The only thing that l don't like is the background, which is very pixely...other than that, great!

TiberiumCrystalKutu responds:

I know it. This is the third time I use photoshop and I could not find a way to make it look better because it was already the result of something screwed up, but I am grateful that you liked it.

[50 Cal Barret Sniper Rifle]

Good

This Barrett M107 looks kinda...weak.
I dunno, l just have that feeling.
But still the drawing was very good so you get 8/10 4/5.

Mitrox responds:

I couldn't agree with you more, I drew this soul-y on MS Paint, BY MOUSE.
So I did struggle to get the small details down. I could redraw this later on when my art skills improve but right now, I do not have the inspiration or motivation to pull off anything but my cruddy ab art.

Anyways thanks for the crucial review. d ( -.- ) b

[G.o.W Shotgun.]

Hm

Yes, well, frankly it reminded me of the lever shotgun from Thing-Thing Arena 3, but the drawing is very good, even if the lines are a bit too harsh.
Nice job on that one.

fallensoul289 responds:

Yeah It could use some cleaning up.

[FN-F2000]

Nice

Well it is quite similar to the original one but it lacks some details and needs smoother egdes..still, it's quite good.

fallensoul289 responds:

yeah I agree I might detail it in the future.
