Marckel's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Machi scribble 01]

The texture is raaaad! I think the simplistic coloring works real well! Even if you're avoiding shading, it was an excellent artistic choice in this case.

MachiToons responds:

aww thanks! :3

[Blacksmith Dad]

You have a well understanding of lighting but the amount coming from the hammer should probably be at least the same as the tempered metal since they're about as bright as one another. You could probably also crop the image as the extra empty space isn't serving anything much.

RHIN0SAURUS responds:

Thanks! This is really helpful.

[Death Spinning EyeBall [Pfp?]]

Whatever this is, the contrast is much too low to see anything. You can't make something dark and spooky if no one can even see what it is.

DarkBlade12447 responds:

Dude, the name says "Death spinning eyeball" People can see what it is. Kys\











:D

[Portrait of John Rawls]

Not bad! The head looks wobbly though.

Astro-reality responds:

Haha thank you, its a bit of a shame that the camera didnt show the drawing in better detail, but I think in the original drawing the head was a bit wobbly too.

[Viornha]

The colors are too confusing; probably due to the lack of contrast (the colors are mostly cold and saturated; not very balanced). A shame really since the finer details of the image is pretty good. The pose too, while definitely ambitious, might need a little tweaking since the silhouette gets unclear without the contrast.
.
On the other hand I like the little story!

Spankii-Sphiinx responds:

Phew man oh man tell me about it coloring is like my weakness , I spent like seven hours just trying to figure out what colors I liked on her and then figuring out if I wanted cells or soft . After all that i posted it still a tad upset with it and not knowing why haha and then you point it out right away haha holy crap thank you broham.

[An asylum demon]

Wait, is the demon haunting the asylum or is it a patient? Please be the latter.
.
Anyway... The inking is done well (especially the horns!), really strengthening the muted colors. I feel like more could be done for this piece in terms of composition and background environment, but it's still quite exceptional! Well done.

Matlactliomei responds:

he is haunting the asylum hahaha, thank you for the review it is really appreciated

[Lane Duels Home screen art]

Ahh that's a really nice background! What kind of game are you making? For some reason I think of Temple Run.

endverse responds:

Thank you!
I guess this image is a bit misleading as it is from a different point of view.
The game will be in top down view. It is a multiplayer 1vs1 duels between players.

[Exhausted]

Love the soft shading! As for orientation, I don't see any problems, but it probably has to do with image size or aspect ratio. Never really had a problem with that though.

ScribbleSticks responds:

Ended up having to put the file in another program and turn it 90 degrees and then save it. Then re-upload it.

[Grendel the big beast]

Not too shabby at all! Why's the image sideways though? You could've rotated it on the camera (or with Paint even if you scan it).

YumGumYumGum responds:

Well damn I didn’t see that before. I’m uploading this from my phone so idk what happened. It was straight when I posted it. Anyways thank you very much!

[Doll-Face Abomination]

Ay pretty good! I love the expression. The cropping of the image seems a little off though.

Soegern responds:

Thanks man, i'm not sure what you mean about the cropping, could you explain in a PM?
