Zhon's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Got Somethin' In Your Eye?]

I dig the style. I only have a few things to recommend.

1. The arrow would look better foreshortened IMO. Even if it's just very slightly. It theoretically could have flown in at that angle, but it just looks strange being so perfectly on an axis parallel to the viewing plane.

2. A bit of blood splatter around the wounded eye would go a long way. Just a couple of tiny marks outside of the blackness, even.

3. I keep going back and forth on this, but I kind of feel like the shape for her right shoulder (our left) could be extended out a little bit. It looks like her center of gravity is a little off, and almost like she's straining to stick her head forward. That actually adds to the strangeness and odd appeal though, so I don't know if it's even a problem. Hah!

Anyway, nice piece. *follows*

Bittersoda responds:

Thank you! I can see what you mean about the arrow and the blood splatter. I'll definitely be thinking about things along those lines in the future. And as for the shoulder, I imagined her sitting down and possibly slouching a little bit, but since you can't see the rest of her body, that's open to interpretation. Thanks for the feedback man.

[GET OUT!!!]

Sweet n' snazzy. This is awesome. Your scarier stuff is actually why I followed you so.. Glad to see this pop up :P

It's subtle, but the whirling lines around the head combined with the twisty neck give it a weird and uncomfortable sense of motion. Like it's turning its head, but also rotating its head, if that makes sense. I really like that and actually think it would be cool if it was intensified a little more.

P-cate responds:

i'm so glad you liked it <3, it's been a while since i drew scary stuff!

[Sword Girls]

4, 7, and 14 are badass. This kind of roster-esque assembly makes me think of Final Fantasy Tactics' class images for some reason.

Did you reference these clothing designs from anywhere? I love 'em.

[Limited Edition Shiny Monster Girl Print]

Did you do all that hatching by hand, or do you have a brush/texture of some sort? Only asking because if you do, I want to steal it.... lol

Also awesome use of negative space.

Sabtastic responds:

Hey thanks! The texture / pattern I used was from Manga Studio - it comes as a screentone pack within the program. Not sure I can export it or share a link, but I would if I knew how!

[Pico Road Trip]

Damn, I love this. You got yerself a new follower.

[Somewhere]

Okay, love the illustration and all, but am I the only one that thought this?

The face in the ground in the middle.... Well.... Let's just say the tree is in a very unfortunate position

[Dark Stairs]

I love this - now don't get me wrong, I think the lady looks great, but if she wasn't in the illustration I would absolutely frame this sumbitch and put it on my wall. Just has a much classier feel to it without her I think, almost like high-end enviro concept art.

Anyway... Randomly discovered you and love your stuff, must follow +.+

[The golden player]

Dude

P-cate responds:

YAAASS

[Maman Brigitte]

Lovely stuff as always. Are those peppers hanging from her waist....?

liransz responds:

yes it is...
thanks!

[Porkchops and Bacon]

Grats on first dude

:)

I hope I didn't make you self conscious with my comment in the thread. Either way, quite noble of you to offer the prize to another winner.

deathink responds:

Haha, I didn't get first yet. There is some stiff competition.
