Rotohail's art Reviews on Newgrounds

May the cat god smile upon us all...
And the devil dogs choke on their bones.
Ha, just a joke I'm actually a dog lover. Lovely use of shining light to draw attention. I think you could do some more with bounce light but that stuff is hard. Thumbs up!

[Heraldic warrior]

It has an art nouveau feel, only missing a frame! Love it.

clayscence responds:

thank you so much!

[Submerged]

Damn the forms read so well! And you really get the feel of being sunken into something. Only thing it might give you another edge is reflections but that depends on what that stuff is, ha!

Ploobul responds:

I did actually experiment with reflections, but everything I tried seemed to cheapen the final image a bit and wasn't worth the effort since it was only intended to be a quick 20m thing to distract myself from my main thing.

[Star-Dough]

The incredible melting man (1977)!

jouste responds:

i actually saw that show when I was really young, and i know that it's kind of a funny horror show, but at the end when he's melting against the wall and the yare sending more astronauts to space to get the same problem I cried like crazy haha.

The soft lighting/gradation really caught my eye specially in the face, very pleasing colors. I think you could bend her left arm instead of coming down straight so it doesn't lead out of the frame, could follow the ribbon curve back to the leg or so, or just bend the hand at the wrist pointing to the foot. Hands and faces have too much leading power for their own good! ha.

[Splatter Master]

Oh whoa highly impressed with how you kept the balance between dark tone and threat with the use of black while still keeping it charming enough through the color and shapes.

Deviljho infected with the T-virus!
"So that was your plan all along, Capcom."

[Detritus]

Damn! It took me a second but I finally understood that the fish glowing net is from like a six pack ring ha ha ha. Brilliant. Honestly seeing that the trident you could had gone for like a trash picker design influence? Although a trident does enable you to pick trash also ha ha. Perfect.

jouste responds:

hah yeah that's true, but he's not really "cleaning up" the trash. he's powering up from it! I also wanted him to have some more symbols of who he used to be.

[lets dance]

Hey that's my blood! Give it back!
Alright, alright it ain't mine either but can't blame one for trying right? Ha... ha...
Jokes aside nice striking design and expression. Love the eye glow.

[Entwined]

Things I liked better on the early sketch where that she's on top of him squashing his head almost (shape design) and the spiraling inner chest circle. For the title entwined you could had make her kinda be threaded like him, so they are actually "entwined" in the same situation, now reads more like control over something. Puppet strings.
Otherwise rad idea what inspired you to do it?

Edit: A damn I can't answer you back ha ha. Alright so I read entwined as in twin not twine ha ha, my bad! You good.

A-lieN responds:

My name game is lacking lol, thb I just looked up similar words to strings and picked the one I liked best. The initial sketches had a girl on his back, but that wasn't really making the composition vertical enough, so I just made her stand on his head/neck, the rest just came together.
