MaAlGon3's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[(GIF) Maniak BANG!]

There are no flaws to this piece, from the style to the colors to the lineart to the movement. Not a speck of dirt out of place. So much personality in his design and even more in the way he moves. Exceptional work.

[Battle]

Great piece with a bit of a muted color palette, lineart is crisp to a T. Love the amount of detail and visual eye candy you packed into this one. There's quite a bit of personality to the way you depicted the robot dude.

Imrie responds:

Thanks, i hide my lack of drawing skill with massive amounts of stuff going on :)

[Running Red]

I love the stylized look and proportions, definitely the highlight of this piece. The colors aren't anything special but they work decently enough. The blood could use some elbow grease.

[Raven]

Anatomically speaking, the right arm is a bit too short but it's a mere nitpick. The coloring and painting technique is outstanding, I love the way the texture adds roughness yet the blending feels soft. The color palette is a bit one note but works overall. A solid 4 and 1/2 star effort in my opinion. I look forward to your art in future.

Dizimz responds:

it's funny, the arm was shortened because i felt it was too long. thanks for the nit pick ^_^ Ill play with it some moar!

[Ta.. dah?]

The only reason this isn't 5 full stars is that I have to wonder exactly where the nipple is place given the fact they're not visible even though most of her breasts are visible. That aside, great lineart, crisp and clear with fun colors and the freckles are a nice touch.

[Scooby-Doo Lineup]

Great designs and the colors are very appealing. Overall there are no flaws to this piece in what it sets out to do. Fantastic job!

HugoTendaz responds:

Thank you. Coloring was an interesting part. I like how they used limited number of colors to create these different combination. Very animation and print friendly :)

[Its still raining]

It should be a lower rating (though still good) from me since this is actually very simplistic and rather unpolished but speaking as someone who loves it when people deliberately leave imperfections in their art, I love the texture and your understanding of light is already far ahead of me. The reflections in the water are a nice little touch, though I don't know whether the stylized and simplistic look to the girl's face is too simple or a deliberate artistic choice. Either way, you've got colors down pat (the umbrella is a tad too blurry, though), many props, mate.

Love the coloring, especially how it differentiates your characters from Shad's (as well as the style in general but I really wanted to give you credit because I loved the texture and colors do much). Also, kudos for making Shad's avatar look legitimately badass and actually intimidating you captured his persona to a T. The joke with Cory struck a funny bone so that's a positive from me. If I had to give critique (and I should), you should work on your proportions, and perspective, your drawing of Shadgirl was great but those two points stood out as cracks in the armor for me. Still, you've got something pretty good here.

[Wind]

Well, the only thing that I think could be improved (as no piece of art is ever perfect) is that the band-aids look extremely thin and don't seem to have actual depth or mass. But that is an almost absolutely meaningless nitpick compared to the galactic truckload of praise I want to give both the animation itself and you as it's creator.

Firstly, even though the style follows the spirit of the "anime" style, your own unique vision of it comes through very clearly, making it fresh and interesting. The character design itself speaks a lot about the mood that the animation portrays, even if it's just the head and shoulders. You use movement very strategically throughout the piece, just enough for it to feel vivid rather than just a test or a mere first effort (by the way, this is incredible if it really is your first shot at animation, major props). There is a great harmony to the colors, very calm and pleasing to the eye, which helps make me admire it far longer than a short loop regularly would. I could keep going on but you get the point. I look forward to your future efforts.

[The Cavalry's here!]

Eyes are a bit too far apart and the neck looks like it's elongated but perhaps that's just my take on it. Otherwise, more than a solid piece of art you have yourself here, the texture in particular adds another layer of vividness that enhances the already visually pleasing use of color.

HienKBull responds:

Oh yeah! I didn't see it before! I knew something wrong gonna happen but well ... It was my first time in this style so .... And thanks for sharing your opinions, I'll improve it next time!
