DieterTheuns's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Friday Flood #5]

B17 Bowmber!

Turkey, not much to criticise but it seeming like an amputee... but that's just me being Nit Von Pick. Congratulations on another great picture :3

[The Rabbit and the Heart]

oh what beautiful things I'll wear

Let's see here, you've gotten quite some critique already. I think the main problem here is the lack of a basic idea. In itself, the picture is quite boring: a simple white rabbit next to a clichéd heart-shape in a boring point of view. Even the colours feel bland. Using pixel-art is not an excuse to draw things from the side, nor is drawing with a mouse.
There also seem to be issues with the bunny itself, weird front legs, shading, the weird second ear that doesn't seem to fit it's profile stance.

Before you draw your picture, may I suggest you draw an actual picture first, even if it isn't any good? Just to hand YOURSELF a base of what you are planning. "Is this an interesting image?"

EventHorizon responds:

you're right about the flaws of this picture, but it's the most I could do, I definitely wanted to participate in this event (because I love the rabbits) and I was able to come out this piece of art even if not the best, I will try to improve.

Well, not much to say which hasn't been said really. It a-dow-a-bool, and the only true problem I see is his left ear which seems oddly placed. Pretty damn great logo and a nice starter for this flood :3

TUSKfNL!

M... Mr Frosty? Could you put down that gun? : <

Love the contrast of the soft background to the harsh line-work and shades of the snowman. Seeing and comparing the lightning, the face should have some parts being darker, even black completely, such as the base of the nose and the teeth. Good job!

Fifty-50 responds:

Yup, cant complain there. I'll keep that in mind next time. :P

[Snow Scene - Friday Flood 4]

D'awww

It's adorable and simplistic. You could have added more objects, but then again, it's probably for the best to keep everything in small doses here. Great work and have a big yellow star-shaped sticker for your original solution ^^

Luwano responds:

I was thinking whether I should add more or not. There was a little snowman ready to enter the scene, but it was really tiny, smaller than the bench and that looked really strange.

Hooray for big yellow star-shaped stickers! Thanks!

It's all a bit blurry, and many of the lights don't convince me. For an image that completely supports on the use of light it's not a very good one, I'm afraid.

In your image, light shines from above, right on it's head, which doesn't make any sense since we're deep underwater. The only lights should be coming from the holes. You could've played with those for some cool effects.

I like its mouth, don't be angry :3

Havegum responds:

I'm not angry, I'm glad there's someone to point out flaws in which I hadn't noticed myself!
But yeah, I agree with the lights not making sense. Thanks for the review!
Happy friday flood!

What a schmexy octopus. I think this image would've been better off without all the rest of this stuff, such as the 3 extra icons, olive and ice-cube. Just a clean, drawn image in the center was enough to win me over.

Fifty-50 responds:

Lol, next time I won't make so cluttered. Thanks for reviewing!
