albatross412's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sara Raine]

Demonizing.

The demented effect is apparent through the blood splatter which is done with frightening accuracy. The thin scratchy lines give a graceful frame to the girl and the wide expressive eyes give a befitting contradiction to the piece. Well done. The only thing wrong is the piece lacks filling substance, being more livlihood.

ZeroInsanity responds:

That's sadistic behavior for ya. And I LUVS IT.
Yeah, I should have put a BIT more detail into it (shading, background, etc.), but imma too lazy to do things like that after spending hours on the damn thing.

[Can't Live Without You....]

Dazzling Without Color.

Admittedly it is difficult how the title relates to the piece in general but albeit, this quite good. These are the pieces that beg to be completed in color but it is not my job to chastice an artist nor do I have the desire, because this piece is still quite good. Excellent use with the blurred backgound to really make the substance of the piece pop. Good work.

Sorrygirl99 responds:

Thanks~
I love with when people use good vocabulary :3

[Reckoner]

Demonic.

This is very good. Her bagged and weightless looking body really goes well with the scratch-like thin background. The sheer creepiness that emanates from this piece is quite stunning.

sucho responds:

i'm glad the background does something for someone. i couldn't figure out what to do there.

[Red Lines]

Confusing With Grace.

This work is a bit baffling but I enjoy the confusion of lines at the point of interest. If I didn't know any better I'd say it resembles a Bird's Eye View of a tornado or vortice. I like the choice of a white background with the spontaneity of the lines. I really enjoy this piece.

Viamede responds:

WOW thanks man.

[Halfland]

The Conflict is Stirring.

I love when there is conflict in art with your graceful lands and the bordering barren wastelands and craggy threatening mountain landscapes. This is excellent and the water-color was used beautifully. I also like the sudden transition of grace to shame with the definate border between each land. Well done.

leedon responds:

Thank you very much!

[Suida]

Sex Apeal.

That is what I like about this piece. The concept of sex apeal I say speaks more tastefully than sex itself. Not nude so that it's tasteless but enough skin so the guys have a bit of eye candy. I honestly don't see anything wrong with the face, I think it is actually quite cute. If you ask me she bears a resemblance to Shinobu of the 13-part anime series Ninin Ga Shinobuden. Looks to have a bubbly personality and innocence but again has that sex apeal. I also like the background to the piece, it really speaks to the girls ironic wardrobe malfunction.

Vortex00 responds:

You seem to follow a similar way of thinking in comparison to myself, when approaching art content such as this. I am Vortex00 and I approve this review. XD

[Early Game Concept]

Funny.

It's a pretty funny piece. It reminds me of the game Robotron. I wish you put more in there though.

hellboundsoul07 responds:

I was going for that old arcade game feel. I recall only seeing the main character, a pixely design, and the good old 3 Coins to play. I wanted to add more of a background, like a small army base with turrets that would show where the trolls were being "cloned". That was just a piece of the plot, glad you liked it.

[muse]

Disturbingly Sublime.

This is a very intruiging piece. You say it speaks to your sadness, but I see a provokation of a disturbing piece. Very original in it's context with the use of intertwining flesh and body. The main form appears to be an alpacha llama, for which I cannot see reason of. But here is my interpretation of this piece: the intertwining of the flesh is the negative notions and thoughts of man (due to the very male forms), the only face present is grinning for he put these negative feelings behind him. But immediately one could see at first glance could be a literal message of sexuality (another example of the male forms in said piece). However, this should not be the message conveyed as it is an immature way to look at this piece. The anatomy of the figures were done spectacularly and although disturbing, a very distinguished piece in my opinion. A perfect score.

sucho responds:

i like goats. and i dont have any. thats basically what created this.

seriously though, i'm deeply flattered and i really appreciate the thought and depth to which you interpreted within the piece. it means a great deal and i appreciate it from the bottom of my livestock-less heart.

[Woman in Red]

Elegant.

The woman has much solemness about her whether it be her eyes or facing towards her hands. Such a mastery of the illustration with the hair; a very difficult aspect of drawing. One such detail that caught my eye was the rose in her hands as she picked away at the petals. Why such an act, I simply cannot tell. It could be the cliché of lost love or the breaking of the rose brought her to such a sallow mood. If one were to pay attention to the details of the feet can see the earth is soft as the feet is submerged beneath the surface. Is it sand or dirt? Either of the two speaks in different ways. Much elegance with the dress' appearance which speaks to the title. But the title too is cliché and speaks of the piece as just another picture where it is clearly art. A fine work in my opinion.

gravityglitch responds:

Profoundly worded, thanks for your appreciation. The ground she's on is snow, Despite the lack of effort it takes to draw snow, I've always loved snow as it apeals to my artistic fetish for a spotless white canvas and the base element of contrast.

[Mirror]

Many Messages.

Yet another dark piece by Ms. Mirocka. The girl and her reflection were mirrored superbly and one should notice the reflection's (or real girl, who knows) wings. Maybe to personify the darker and more formidable self the girl wishes to be, or the normal child the demonic one wishes to become. Despite either extreme this piece gives off an aura of many different messages; only a few I can fathom. Not a perfect score, only because I wish the entirety of the girls were in the canvas so there would be more room for more physicalities (to further the spectrum of messages).

Mirocka responds:

thank you
I didn't draw the rest because I was nervous of how it would look
I have this girl's profile, I'll post it later
