Krichotomy's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Joust]

Most everything looks shockingly realistic, at least without analyzing too deeply, but the horse's tail immediately stood out as looking fake to me because of the simple brush strokes, the blue thing in the background looks like a giant crumpled paper that was colored on with a crayon, and the further background... I can't even tell what it could be. I'm currently under the impression that you weren't trying to make a perfect realistic picture, but were more interested in what you could learn from imitating the photo. Anyway, amazing job recreating the realistic looks.

SkillSkillFiretruck responds:

haha. You are so right, 'a giant crumpled paper that was colored on with a crayon'
Yes, I was more interested in learning things. good review!
Cheers

I would have suggested lifting the background lines over the light rays so that they only (or mostly) affect the filling of the "hexagons".

Sure it's not a chaos emerald?

K-Pone responds:

Maybe. Who knows...

[Complacency Revisited]

Nice bro! The rigid white places on the chair without glare look odd, though.

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks. OK, I'll work on that.

[Dendrochronometry]

This speaks to me. I don't know what it's saying though. Seriously, I really like this render.

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks. I sort of know what you mean. I like making abstract art because it is ambiguous and that ambiguity is interesting.

[Color Experiment]

Reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles special stages. Those were fun.

BenTibbetts responds:

Yes, that's a fun game.

[The Bat]

I name it: "Who dropped blue ink in my sweet tea again?"

BenTibbetts responds:

Ha!

[Cosmic Horror]

I kinda wonder if you were not going for a rigid hexagram effect when you drew your goofy pentagrams. :P They make the monster seem like he's crying out to his mamma. "Mamma! Help! There's too many people! Mamma!"

[Black Pen Dragon]

Is it okay if I just simply say I love this and then silently download it and add it to my collection of cool artwork? Or do I need to write up a 36 word comment?

AshleyAlyse responds:

Hahahaha, doing that is just dandy. ^w^ Thank you!

[Stormrider]

Good sketch. Not a failure. Not bad at all, though not near as good as your first art upload.
