Vonschlippe's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Roxana]

Excellent work. Very good shading and detailing, I'm especially fond of the veins and the work around the eyes.

I find the base of the mane to be slightly distracting and to be of unequal quality when compared to the rest of the drawing, but it's still quite good. It's hard to judge from the quality of the scan (or picture), but I think additional contrast in some areas, notably the bridle, would have worked out better. Try to keep the thickness of your lines constant!

Otherwise, excellent job once again!

Soronya responds:

First of all: Thank you for this detailed review :)
What you said about the mane: I really had some problems with it. It didn't turn out as I wanted it... I don't know why, but apparently I'm not good in drawing hair or mane... Have to practice, I know.
The problem is that this is a photo, cause I cannot scan A3 paper, it is too big. The contrast better turns out at the real drawing; there the mane is black and some other things are darker... I know, it sounds like a bad excuse, but it's true :D
I was a little bit afraid of drawing the bridle darker because I thought it would degrade the shadow... But maybe it wouldn't have done it... Well, I can't change it anymore, but you're right in saying, that it would have looked better.
The thickness of the lines is a problem I always have :D I do not want to draw outlines, but I need them for my conceptual design, so I have to erase them or try to use it as a shadow line (as I tried it by drawing the bridle).
And: Thank you for liking the eye (and the work around it)! :D While drawing, I never was happy with it and erased it a thousand times, just to draw it again... Additionally the eye never turned out as the one of the real horse looks like... I'm still not happy with it :D
So, thank you very much again and I have to say that I am really happy to get those compliments and 4.5 Stars of you because I always was fascinated by your artwork (:
Thank you :)

Very good stuff you have there! The coloring is nothing short of impeccable and it all comes together wonderfully. Keep it up! :)

Larwick responds:

Thanks!

[Leg Armor Study]

Excellent study

Nobody seems to notice it, but you're one of the best artists around Newgrounds. Your technique is superb!

Now please reassure me, there was some reference involved in this, right?

thdark responds:

Hah, I can't agree with being anywhere near one of the best, but thank you!

And yes, of course.

[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!

zigan responds:

Thank you, much appreciated!

[Commission - Matty Lewis]

:)

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!

JewelMaiden responds:

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.

[Forever Alone pg 1]

Sexcellent

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

Fifty-50 responds:

We all want to see some Hot Lesbian Action. lol

[hi]

This is great

I love the style of every tiny drawing and the way they flow together. Awesome work, sir.

datamouth responds:

thanx for the 10 too!
