DaveyGamersLocker's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ultimate Life Form]

Awesome Shadow artwork! I love how you highlighted the quills, and the fire coming off of Shadow has a lot of energy! Great work. There's so much going on here, and it's all great. I do have one criticism: Shadow's hands are a little bony. I personally prefer cartoony hands. I see what you were going for, though! Hands are pretty hard to draw in general, so I won't knock you for that.

It really sucks to hear that Brazil completely banned Twitter. Censorship is one thing that I will never stand for. I can't imagine getting fined the equivalent of $9,000 just for logging onto a social media site. That is completely insane. You didn't deserve to lose your entire Twitter following. I really hope you can get out of that mess.

Again, great job with the art! Keep up the good work.

CelestialFish responds:

Hi and thank you so much! And thanks for the criticism for the hands, I believe im just so used to drawing hands on humans, it doesnt translate very well to sonic characters, but ill do my best in improving in that department!

[Brisk Bumblebee]

Nice job! You perfectly replicated the SNES Mega Man X shading style! I love how shiny the metal is. Brisk Bumblebee's expression gives off an air of confidence and toughness, which is very cool to see in a boss character. Great job!

What's his relationship with Blast Hornet? Are they friends? Rivals? Or have they not met each other?

Lumspark responds:

Thank you plenty!!

Realistically they would be rivals but I like to think they'd be bros

[Miku Marika]

I think something went wrong with this upload. The thumbnail is different from the actual picture. In fact, it's the same picture as "Icy Skin."

EDIT: Thank you for fixing it! Now I get to see this awesome art. :) I really like the sketchy art style. I like how Marika looks calm, while Reimu looks concerned. As someone who doesn't play Elden Ring, I'm really intrigued by that thing behind Marika. The perspective is awesome! Great job!

Chosm responds:

fixed
they got mixed up it seems

[spankity]

Holy cow, I love the twisted, sharp art style here! Pokey looks so demented here. As if his discolored skin wasn't creepy enough, the crooked lips and pure-white eye makes him look like a zombie! Really awesome stuff. The saturated colors work very well here. Pokey's blond hair and blue spider mech really pop out against all the dark reds. This is awesome! Great job!

eN-V3 responds:

wow, thanks! its a bit of a departure from what i usually do, so im glad it worked out

[Lineage of Kirby]

Amazing! I can't believe this is all hand-drawn! You even shaded Kid Kirby by hand? Holy guacamole. I see that this took a lot of time and effort, and I assure that it was worth it! You captured Kirby's essence in all of these different styles. The expressions are also sweet and fun. Stellar! This whole piece is just so charming to look at.

I'm going to try and guess all of the Kirbies (clockwise from the top):
Void Termina, Canvas Curse, Rainbow Curse, Super Star, Mass Attack, Dream Course (Keeby), Dream Land 3, Dream Land 2 commercial, Kid Kirby, Link's Awakening (Anti-Kirby), Squeak Squad, Kirby 64, Epic Yarn, manga, Dream Land 1, Modern Kirby, and Right Back at Ya. Did I get them all right?

DreamsBellArt responds:

Thank you very much! And yep, even Kid Kirby, you'd be surprised how easy that one was to shade, since it's mostly spheres, which are easy.

Yeah you nailed it on naming them all! Great job

[Mega Man 3 Poster!]

I love how you gave each Robot Master their own personality! Top Man is goofy, Hard Man is imposing, Snake Man is twisted, etc. It gives them a lot of depth beyond just being boss robots.

My only complaint is that Hard Man being at the top, along with the absence of Dr. Wily, makes Hard Man look like the main villain. But that's a small nitpick.

All in all, you did a great job with this art piece! And yeah, I also have a soft spot for Mega Man 3. Not really sure why, but eh. Good game.

Kotico responds:

Thank you so much! Originally, I planned to include Gamma with Willy at the top of the poster. However, due to limited space, I had to exclude them lol. Including them would have stretched the artwork and compromised its quality on platforms like DeviantArt and Instagram. But yeah im really glad to hear that you liked it!

[floating hands]

I like Droopy's expression here. You can tell that she's enamored by her own hands. Her bright, hot-pink eyes stand out against the desaturated colors, which make her eyes a strong focal point. All around, nice job as always.

Question: Was Droopy born with those hands, or are they artificial in some way?

TheShammah responds:

yeah she was born like that lol
