vexistential's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chicken]

Love the cock.

All joking aside...this is a simplistic and flawless chicken.
I LOVE the eye....it's probably my favorite bit.
I think the background could use something...which is the only reason for the 9 instead of 10.

J-qb responds:

Thanks

[Minor Inconvenience]

This...is...ART!

I like this a lot.
Not your usual character toonage.
Beautifully abstract but cubist but...weird.
Artfully done.

J-qb responds:

Thanks, im working on getting my drawings less straight-forward.

[Haunter in the Dark]

Ahhh, the Unnamed One...

Beautiful work...again.
Your pieces are full of life and darkness and the attention to detail is phenomonal.
Keep it up.

Jakubias responds:

Thanks! Personally I keep this somehow the best effort of mine to depict the unnatural evil of these elder entities.

[Suffer No Guilt]

Awesome detailing...

I like the old school feel with the newer school art...great blending.
SUPER sick details, and I agree with the Bosch reference.
Fantastic work.

Jakubias responds:

Well there might be slight similarities with positioning, when comparing Bosch and me, maybe. But thanks for great comment!

[#1 Dad]

Quite realistic...

I think it looks pretty good.
Love the grain of the wood and the lighting in the room.
About the only nitpicky things I can find are the "#1 Dad" font on the coffee cup...and then there seem to be some pixelated striations around the monitor frame, but overall, great piece.
Hope you got a good grade.

MrPastoolio responds:

Thank you. Yeah the monitor bothered me a little but was in a lil bit of a rush so I let it be. Passed the class with an A :) Thanks for the helpful review.

[Harpies and the Dead]

Stunningly gorgeous.

Reminds me a bit of Bosch, probably because of the masks .
You have serious skills.
Work like this inspires me.

Captain responds:

Thanks, there's some spots that could be better but I think it turned out good.

[old warrior]

Another one the blur really works for...

Another fantastic face with multiple levels of creative understanding.
Love the colors and the general feel of it.

You get some serious props at this point, for sticking around as long as you have, apparently, with so few people on NG supporting your work.
I have gotten frustrated just in the short time I have been posting my work on here, because it doesn't seem like anyone bothers going into the backlogs of our individual portfolios after reviewing a piece that's just been uploaded.
This is already the 5th-6th piece of yours Ive seen, and yet only the 3rd review besides my own. :/

SO keep up this great work and keep doing what you love to do....and I'll keep looking.

Jean-Raymond responds:

you are a friend Man !

[mind game green]

Interesting face.

I like the symmetry, obviously....cool we posted those back to back.
The colors are a tad too pastel for my own taste, but very complimentary to one another.
I can't say I am enjoying the blurriness, which is the only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10.
That is probably more personal taste than anything.
I am very nearsighted, so even with my contacts in, the whole world is already a little blurry sometimes. :P

Jean-Raymond responds:

thanks for communicate, sorry i don't speak a deep english langage, but i catch the meaning there's something that goes far in all of that. we try and more and more we try it becomes better even if catching the light is not a permanent lucious moment, and work is made for that, forming our own mind for the moment when It will happen and keep it real

[Blueby Wooby]

I am in AWE...

Completely amazing portfolio you have...and this is by far my favorite piece somehow.
Love the colors and your sick style.
Phenomenal work.

conundrummer responds:

Thanks, this one is probably my favorite as well. :)

[Checkerboard #3]

Claustrophobic in a good way?

I dig this...definitely my favorite of your 4.
It gives a very boxed-in feeling.
It would look amazing painted as a wall-sized mural.
My one tiny gripe about it would be where the red/black checkerboard meet the "back wall" of the piece. I feel like this back wall should've been a deep charcoal or midnight blue, instead of the lighter greenish hue. It makes my eyes jet to that level almost instantly, having to consciously come back to examine the awesome checkered world...whereas if it were darker, I would get more of the "tunnel vision" effect.
But hey...that's just me. I see colors funny sometimes.

Thanks for the decent review
