GreyCreatureJ's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Senior Sorceress]

I like the texture you used on the hair. The multicolor highligts are cool and their simplified shapes do work.

The texture on the gloves is probably too realistic and breaks a little the style. You might want to use something more vectory/cartoonish/halftonish, like with the hair.

The eye looks a bit dead, you should add shine and more detail to it.

You could probably do without the mouth shadows, instead add some to the nose.

The background is maybe too simple. I don't think it's a problem here, but it could improve, probably, I don't know how, you would have to experiment.

You need to improve your line weights. For example, take some of the ends on the fur, where the lines meet, it's way too thick and the tip is round. Also the face lines are too thin and uniform (thickness wise).

That should give you some ideas on how to get better. Though you did a great job, congrats!

All useful to know, thanks! I'm still definitely new so I might focus on improving the character rather than backgrounds for now, they're a whole new world I don't think I'm ready for yet, haha. Thanks for the pointers though!

Pretty simple but effective.

Your lines are not perfect, but seem to be like that by choice. They don't look bad, but you could improve their look so it feels more like they have texture, rather than they were carelesly done (specially those on the hair).

I like what you're doing with this character though. You're doing a great job "building" him.

Keep it up!

Thanks. I will try to improve, the hair already in the next art.

Love the vibrant colors.

Your linework is great.

The design is pretty cool.

Shading is also well done.

But the character seems somewhat stiff. The forced experssion is a cool premise, but you could do some tweaks so it looks more relaxed and naturally crazy (if that makes sense).

Good job overall.

Thank you for your comment!

This is a bit old now, but I'll post my more recent work here soon. I know what you mean with stiffness, which I have been practicing to get rid of lately.
