Chieftx's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ugy]

your style...

is so distinctive dude.
I absolutely love these characters. they are so alien yet they ooze with energy and life. they are so absurd and homely that they are grotesque and beautiful. and whats great is that you don't even need to add so much detail to them to get the message across, they are so simply constructed yet so unique. do you actually have a comic series with these monsters yet?

Mosamabindrawin responds:

Thankyou so much!
Finally someone who can appreciate something DIFFERENT!
I was getting so many low blow scores i was just beginning to upload art to newgrounds to piss the 'boring-art' lovers off.

and YES i do have a comic coming out! There's already 30+ pages but i havent uploaded any yet- its coming soon to snafu webcomics! It should be up within a month hopefully!

eh...needs some work...

first thing I noticed was the face, it looks more like the face of a male anime style character, and the hair doesn't this help either. also the tail looks really awkward, I think it should start at the very end of the backbone. either way it shoulden't squirrel upward like that quickly anyway.

Sevens responds:

thanks for checking them out oh and I checked out your work too.
thanks for you advice.... doesn't help to let you know.

[My Sweetest October]

dude I'm sure this painting is great

but this photo is terrible, especially when you use flash on something reflective like gold leaf. can't really say anything about the painting until you get a better picture.

Sevens responds:

yeah i was on the go, I sell art on the streets of nyc and just took the pic the best i could with the shitty cam i had and bad lighting,
but yeah it is a beautiful painting, that's why i don't have it anymore.
oh another thing sorry that you cannot see the image, but if anyone else is having the same problem as dude, my bad just deal with what you can see- not my fault if your blind

['Antenna Airship']

interesting

THe washes that make up the background are nice, Being able to see the canvas texture helps it, but I think the greenish golds could have been distributed better, perhaps split into more smaller sections between other washs. I really like the main black designs but I think it should be darker so that it's almost totally black, then maybe use a chromatic black or paynes grey to add finishes of really subtle color to the edges .

hope that helps

Butzbo responds:

Well you got a point with the coloring, is kind of unbalanced, thanks for the feedback ;)

[Introspective]

Fantastic!

I absolutely love those shapes! I also love how the hands seem to mirror each other and still mange to maintain the flow of the whole. the yellowish color of the paper is a nice touch as well.

XxCrimsonMoonxX responds:

Thank you very much! I'm very happy with how it turned out and I'm glad you do to.^^ I thought the yellowish tint would give the picture a good quality. I'm glad you like it. =3

[Rainbow Sky & Gloom Night]

very clean and professional looking

interesting concept too. I think the colorful one could use some more of those metallic sheens on her legs and the monochrome guy could use some darker blacks. but other than that I could definitely see these published in like a concept art book or something. also what kind of colored pencils did you use? Prismacolors?

megawolf77 responds:

Thanks for the comment! And yeah, I guess I should probably add more shades on them. I was aiming for a heavy contrast between the two. I used the Faber-Castell brand of colored pencils.

Thanks, again! I'll keep on practicing.

needs some work...

but is otherwise on the way to being an interesting drawing.
however the whole unfinished concept seems to be taken a little incorrectly if you ask me, if the story behind said character is that she is not completely built make it look like it, just making the piece look unfinished does not make it any deeper at all, it just makes the drawing ugly and makes you look lazy. if I were a group moderator I wouldn't accept it in the stage it is currently in anyway.
If I may make a suggestion, I think that by making her left and face arm actually look more mechanical and less finished then yeah, it would definitely look a lot better. hell this would absolutely splendid if colored, tell me if you actually get around to doing that I would like to see that.

peppypippy32 responds:

thanks again for the comments on this one and my other artwork :) really helpful feedback

[link from beyond the grave]

HEYLISTENHEYLISTENHEYLISTEN!!!

not even in death is Link safe from the high pitch shriekings of navi. lol. this is very good, what medium did you use? I absolutely love your technique.

dommi-fresh responds:

it is done with water colour and and pen

[Things]

seems like a good idea

This reminds me of Francis Bacon's paintings. I kinda see what you are trying to do here, I think it could use a bit more saturation of color and maybe a bit more could be done with those insectoid legs on those chicken wings (or at least I think those are chicken wings.)

Barzona responds:

You're right about the color. I need to rethink what tools I use to create images. Pencil lead just doesn't give me deep enough colors, yet it's really easy to work with. I initially did want the creatures darker and richer in color, but I couldn't pull it off. I still have a lot to learn.
