Lord-Of-Lazyness's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Legend of Korra]

Shading, coloring and everything else flows together to create this vivid image. I've looked over this image a couple times trying to find some constructive criticism but to be honest; the only one I can find is the fireball. I assume it's coming from the fire bender but it's just in an unusual place.

Wonderful artwork.

Simply outstanding. Not only did you manage proper shading but also managed to hold just enough color(as well as the amount of water) in the right areas to really make this image leap off the page. I can see a lot of hard work in this picture and it is worth admiring.

The only criticism I can think of is the "energy" coming directly off the top of the skull. Being that this is watercolor it is rather difficult to get precise or non-jagged lines. Possibly the little crease in the middle due to another page.

This issues are very minor and overall I think this belongs in a museum or some art gallery; more than just the newground's art portal. I hope you continue to make masterpieces =)

[Friendly Octopus]

Well it can be a little obvious sometimes with the consistency of markers(obviously seen with the attempt in the background) but it still keeps with the various characters. The mermaids nose could use a little work as the shading tries to make me think that it's a more realistic nose while the shape drawn hints more of a cartoon like one. Based on the shape of the nose it might have been better to avoid shading all together or just faintly(appears too dark to me)

I'm not entirely sure why there is a flower bubble in the scene(or maybe it's a starfish trapped in a bubble?) but it doesn't really seems to fit almost like a random fly on the paper.

Other than the minor critiques above; the remaining features of the picture are drawn rather well and maybe the white octopus's suckers could use a finer stroke to highlight them while some almost seem a little too squarish.

Overall this picture captures the viewer well and is rather impressive considering it was largely done with markers.

Well the background I had a issue with my true blue color, it was dying as i was finishing the background, so i had to go over it with another color to give it more of a full look to it. Understandable, I went for a cartoon-y look, but you are right with the shading idea. Oh, that yellow thing your right about, but I guess it was just kind of a random thing, but you are right.

Thankful this has been helpful. :)

[Something Beautiful]

A rather impressive shell sitting on a chair(I presume). The variety of colors along with strokes add an individual flavor for this piece and while the background make be somewhat generic the shell sticks forth as an image of beauty.

However the outer lining at the back and front are a bit jagged. Other than that this piece stands out as a simple stationary object on a surface. A few minor refinements and it would look even better but currently it is still a good piece of art.

[Reducto]

Rather interesting depiction of what I believe is to be jesus(going by the tag). Lighting up the hair correctly and adding a bit of sunshine really adds to this piece. Even the splatter along the image adds the idea that it was a possible speed paint(was it?).

The shorts lack a little color at the bottom while the hands seemed to have gotten a little frayed but the rest looks clean. Overall it's a great piece to be admired and I wish you good luck with your future canvas of choice.

thanks for the review!

[Spyro]

Outstanding

The scenery alone is outstanding; even without spyro.

Spyro is well drawn and detailed; I think I'm one of the few who actually likes the translucent effect of the wings.

The only downside to this drawing is where Spyro's claws touch the grass. Normally there would some distinction of weight behind them; pushing the grass down where appropriate. As it is right now it almost seems like Spryo is hovering above the grass or was thrown in after the background was made or vice versa.

Overall it is a great piece of artwork with a minor issue.
