Vonschlippe's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wormworldsaga Fanart]

Excellent work!!

This is very, very good stuff! Masterful work with colors and textures. Keep it up!

[Infectious Desire Poster]

Excellent!

Impressive work! You did a great job with textures, the skin tones are great as well. The proportions are flawless, which is rarely seen in this kind of painting. The blue values add to the composition without removing the focus from the image.

I rarely rate drawings as perfect 10s, but this one does deserve it. Keep it up!

Thank you, much appreciated!

You're improviing with every painting, it would seem!

I'd like to underline the consistency of the level of detail on the entire painting, which you appear to usually struggle with. Details here are equally spread out while keeping focus on the action, showing you spent a similar amount of time on every part of the painting.

Rock on!

Rhunyc responds:

Thanks Vonschlippe!! :D

It's appreciated. :3

[StarCraft Kerrigan]

Yay!

I'm always happy to see another ghost rendition!

The facial structure could gain in realism if you gave it a more pronounced, pointy chin. It would still come out as feminine if you don't put too much emphasis on the lining of the jaw.

The pose is mostly good, but a weapon (especially a sniper rifle) is never fire like a pistol and should require both hands to be held upright, and the stock should rest against the shoulder. Aiming through a scope also requires the eye to be much closer to the eyepiece.

These things aside, it's an interesting. Keep working on your technique, you seem very promising.

Cheers!

Omg I follow your artwork and saw your art in Blizzard! This is such an honour coming from you!! <3

Thanks so much for your critique :> I agree with the pose and that is what my friend said too.

This is great!

I've just stumbled upon your paintings and I must say I enjoy your work a lot! Despite some slight anatomical flaws, your work is stunning nonetheless; I particularly enjoy the attention to detail and to textures you put into every piece.

Good job man!

[Link - Magic Armor]

Excellent!

Very good color, pose, movement, and it stays true to the style of the series. Great stuff there!!

Alright!

There are some good and bad things about this piece.

For a portrait, your rendition of skin is quite decent. The shading around the lips and the light on the cheeks is very nice. You have used the good tonal range to display what you wanted to show, and the facial anatomy is acceptable.

However, many things hinder the realism of this painting. For starters, there are no shadows at all; her hair does not cast any shadow on her skin, and does not get darker as it gets away from the light (such as behind her shoulders). The brush you used for the skin is appropriate, but you should have cleaned up the wobbly contour line in her face.

The rest consists mostly of local touch ups. Her eyes are not dark enough (the middle of the eye should be a lot darker and the eye area should have more contrast. Make sure the eye-liner is equally dark on both eyes! In addition, her entire face could use more contrast (darker nostrils, harder lips, etc.), but you could fix that with an adjustment layer.

The hair could be inproved if you used a much smaller, uniform hard brush and painted a LOT more individual hair strands. A trick I use a lot is to paint several (8-10) individual hairs and copy paste them to save time! Make sure you warp and edit them every time or else it becomes too obvious the pattern repeats =P

Finally, try to spend as much time on the accessories as on the rest of the drawing; the items in her hair lack definition, shadows and shape.

If you keep practicing and make sure you fix those mistakes with every new painting you make, you'll achieve great results! Keep drawing!

Alright!

It's an interesting drawing, it's strong point being the composition and action. However, the full-view size is rather too big for the amount of detail featured in the drawing. The metal you painted would benefit from more texture and grain, which would add a lot towards realism. Also, try to watch the level of detail in the overall drawing and make it more consistent; for instance the guys in the foreground seem less detailed than the background guy, even if they are closer.

While there are still some things to improve, it remains a good piece nonetheless. Good job!

[Harp]

Interesting

Overall this is a good drawing, but there are several things that jump out to my eye that require improvement. I won't comment on the pose or subject because that's all up to you, but here's a couple of things that would enhance the drawing itself.

First off, the anatomy needs some touch ups, especially (!!!) in the crotch area, where the legs merge together and part of the bum starts showing up on the inside of both thighs. That should only be visible if the angle of the camera is extremely low and looking up, which is not the case; the way the bum is attached to the leg is pretty much as if the leg was viewed from the side. You should touch up that pelvic area! As for the rest of the body, it's mostly good except for the wings, which lack definition and structure. Look at birds for reference. You will see that all feathers differ in size and shape, and together they form a very distinct structure, without the underlying bone structure being obvious (such as in your drawing) . The lineart in wings should suggest feathers, not bones covered in feathers.

I do like the way you rendered scales and the gloss on the tail, but the remarquable effect you got on those materials is dampened by the less dramatic effect you achieved on the fabric, hair and feathers. Learning to paint different materials and textures efficiently takes a lot of time and practice, but looking at your progression you seem to be learning from your mistakes.

Keep drawing! You definitely seem more skilled with a tablet than I was at your age, if you are indeed 17. Study feathers, paint a lot of hair, watch how fabric drapes and always practice your anatomy!

amyrenee responds:

Thank you so much!!! :D That really helps! I am going to keep practicing and trying to do better as much as I can! I love your artwork and have been inspired by it. :D

I really appreciate the review you left me. That is a good idea to study more on birds and to really put the individual details in my picture for everything. Thank you!!!

Sexcellent

Well played my good sir. I cannot wait to see the next panel!
