Y2k4ever's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yamato Lower Decks]

Some helpful tips:

Stop using gradation for shading and hair lighting.

I recommend getting a versatile non vector paint program, Paint tool SAI is a cheep effective art software that lets you craft your own fairly organic brushes.

Positives:

The gesture and perspective are both done pretty decently, the eyes need a bit of work, but overall, the actual shapes/contour of their bodies isn't awful.

Good luck in future works!

Argox66 responds:

Appreciate the feedback. Seeing as I whip these out just in a few hours during slow work days, I doubt I will make many changes to my current software unless I go pay for full Creative Cloud again. Animate CC does provide its challenges one may not encounter with other programs, I will grant you that! LOL. Thanks for the line!

[Pokédart]

Nice job with the candy bar!

[Realistic still life]

If you could add some color to this, I wouldn't see this out of place in a 50's advertisement!

[Race Game Mockup Art]

It's simplistic, but still very eye catching,
I like it!

UltimoGames responds:

Sometimes I like to search for the most simple/efficient/effective way of doing things. Thanks!

[Su 122-54]

Yes.

[choo choo motherfucker]

Geez Boco, the speed at which you post these greatly animated pieces is staggering!

This begs to be in a book.
It might be just me, but I see the image in the bottom center as the focal point of this piece, almost like a cover, melding everything into a single narrative.

Ya know, Edd was a big part of the reason that I even discovered this website to begin with, and though a great era has passed, an undying legacy has been born.

Context aside, this is a really nice picture, love the lighting.

[Dodge that shit!]

The animation is done very smoothly for the overall level of detail, as for the explosions...
To be honest, from what I've seen in most successful cartoons/Anime, is that they simply draw the explosions with little to no special effects added, this can be a difficult learning curve.
Essentially just watch a bunch of movie clips of ACTUAL pyrotechnics, and knowing you, just give it enough time and things such as explosions, clouds, dust, and fire, will become second nature.
Best of luck!
