Esn's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Faust]

Ohh, yes, this is really nice

Great, drawing, great proportions... one thing, though: this should definitely be in the "pixel art" category, not illustration.

I only give an "8" because the choice of palette is a little uninspiring for some reason... there's a bit too much plain white for my liking. Also, the sky could have been made more interesting. But really, it's very impressive.

StarwolfTsuname responds:

Thank you very much Esn! I agree I really rushed the completion of this piece and steered away from strong contrasts for reasons beyond me, but now that I have a program other than Ms Paint I may edit this one and improve on it. Thanks for the comment!

Wow, seriously?

That is some really amazing pumpkin carving. I can't believe how you got all of those delicate shading gradations.

[Unicorn]

Nice drawing of a unicorn

Although the lines sometimes seem a bit stilted (I'm sure that you'll get better at this with time), overall this is a very nice drawing. It's really obvious that you're putting a lot of yourself into your drawing, not simply working off instructions or copying styles. There's a very strong... mmm, essence of the creator, I think. I guess that's the right word. Just by looking at this, I immediately sense certain things about the artist. i.e. that she's a young teenage girl (it is very obvious).

Sure to repel young boys who are afraid of cooties. :) I'm long past that age, yet to tell the truth, that was still part of my first reaction when I looked at this (not the main part, but it was there). Silly, huh? I guess old habits die hard. :)

ShelzyDEMONDOLL responds:

Thanks since then i like to think ive improved :)
Apologies for the late replys :)

[Baby Fire Breather]

Cuteness overload

This one's too cute for me, really.

But onto the technical aspects: pretty well-drawn, reminds me a bit of "Dinosaurs" the TV show. The dragon's other wing is strangely hidden, and his tongue seems to fill up the entire inside of his mouth. Also, the eyeridge over the eye on the right side of the drawing is differently-shaped than the one over the other eye.

[Path]

Incredible tension...

There's an incredible tension in this work... that white line in the middle is like an event horizon to a black hole, and when I look at it, I feel inexorably, inescapably pulled in toward the centre, past the trees that blur with the speed, to the end of the journey, to that horrible white light that rends the world apart. It's somewhat terrifying, really. To me, this is a painting about the moment right before death.

CptBeefcake responds:

it really carries a lot of emotion for you.

[Joes Adventures 7]

Quite humorous

Great face expressions and comedic timing. Nice job!

[Warp Speed!]

Good!

It looks... squishy.

Unfortunately, I can't vote or favourite any of your artworks, although you are scouted - there seems to be a bug in the system.

[Shrooms]

This is fantastic!!

Great colours and sense of balance. Great theme, also - and as a bonus, it has the ring of truth to it.

[Skully]

Very good skull

Not quite photo-realistic, but it's really well-done. It could be part of a bigger scene...

[Zoroastrian Creation Myth]

Really nice colour & design

The basic form of this painting is really nice. One thing I would have done is fine-tune the white lines, though - it looks a little rough currently. On the other hand, it would take a lot of work, so I can see why you left it as is.
