Boss's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[La vida de tigressa]

This looks interesting but the pic is too blurry to read the story! Also the lack of backgrounds in most frames and changing background color fills makes for a colorful comic page, but not one that draws your eye in (though im sure my eye would be drawn in more if the pic was in focus so thats more of an upload execution aspect than the drawing itself) make more and try to take steadier pics!!

[A art trade]

If this was cleaned up, not on lined paper, maybe the photo was edited to make it look less like just a picture or optimally if it was scanned, this would be the framework for a really good piece of art. The anatomy/composition and particular blockiness of the shapes fits well into the way people see cartoons nowadays, I think this image would actually be recognized as really nice and trendy, but like I said, being drawn on lined paper, taken a photo of it, isn't the best. Yes it looks like his neck is broken or something but that's really not that much to worry about,I think coloring it and cleaning up the spaces on the black areas where you can tell you scribbled it in would add more simple charm. While the pose looks a little unnatural, in a way since he is supposed to be swinging, it could be seen as natural and just the way the cartoon style is supposed to make it look. don't worry about being impressive, just enjoy what you do and keep drawing more

..........woah
This is the most criticsim That i got.its kinda overwhelming.
Yeah the lined paper is kinda distracting And really break the piece.
And i'm just too poor to buy scanners(my parents are poor).
I actually scared of coloring since i never did it well And linework Ain't my thing (i'm kinda of a perfectionist if a line ain't conpleted i have to completed) And it lents to me going out of like And as a solución just making the línea ticcer.
I want to be impresive since you kno it's tradicional art with monochromes And not super colored nicely looking digital art,i feel since i don't go digital (monetary reason, Argentina not the best economy) i need to make it more than just a character standing.
But thank for the review(tougth 3,5 Stars is a little to much in my opinión)

[Sad Goth]

The line art on this is REALLY clean and IMPRESSIVE. The way that the little stickers and chains have almost like a pixel like, super fine line definition around them is mind blowing and I honestly think if this could be implemented more in ways to show off and flaunt the skill, could be revolutionary not to mention be a technique that if popularized a lot of people would want to copy but would not be able to, which would help define some sort of key signature to the art. Obviously there's a lot more that could be said about what you did right and what is really good about this but the main thing that really popped and made me want to see more was the line work being really polished and amazing and the way that the chain at the shoe has this clashing effect with the art that works so well, I feel like I have never seen it before and want to see it used a lot more

[Tree]

This gives me weird nostalgic feelings like I'm flashing back to a waking dreamstate in some far away magical world or something. I think to dissect that feeling it means that this has a really really nice and pleasing, almost subversively or maybe thats not the right word, maybe a subtly intoxicating or enlightening or awakening effect as not to connect the beauty of this piece too closely to the dreamy mysterious corners of the mind that it brings attention to... I don't know if it is merely the subject being a tree on a little hill or plain with a billowy cloudy background that does it or if there is something more to it... I have to say the use of colors is really astonishing, not only is it a perfectly creamy soft grunge-esque palette that feels like candy to look at while it soothes simultaneously, but from a color perspective, the way the sky melds from dark blue to light blue is really nice, but what REALLY blows my mind is the way that it seems like there are only a few colors used beween where it turns turquoiseish at the top. something about the hue of light blue and blueish green that you picked makes it so that you can effectively transition from blue to green in a way that completely tricks the mind, at first I really thought you had used like five or more colors just in the space at the middle of the trees leaves where it turns to blue to green in the background and squinted and looked harder and realized wow, this person just picked the absolute perfect colors to make this illusory effect. Maybe i'm just weird or stupid or thinking about the colors too much but that blew my shit away. I think possibly the way this drawing that I can't tell if it is little or humongous the more I look at it, lures me in and hypnotizes, is that there is a perfect balance of definition between the grass, trunk, leaves, and clouds, where the trunk pulls you in with detail that almost screams a miniaturized abstracted version of hyper realistic, and the rest of the picture has space the breathe which without realizing it, it pulls you deeper to the center of the picture to keep returning your mind to it...

As I read the reviews below and started to look at it I did start to notice that maybe the space of sky underneath the trees leaves almost makes it seem like the tree is clearing those clouds out of the sky in a way that makes it seem slightly awkward? the thing is I didn't even notice that until I started reading and dissecting the elements, and seeing it as that way isn't really something I have to do, it's like looking at a gif of a train, you can unsee it going on way or another etc. kind of how everything can contain its own optical illusions.

I have favorited this, this is awesome, I know I typed a whole lot but I don't think I'd go as far as to stare at this image for a meditation or anything, but it is mind blowing because it has some sort of style and essence to it that seems uncapturable. The clouds represent the cloudy light feeling of the image overall, and the trees leaves clumped together are like a reflection of the clouds, yielding little shapes that you could imagine are shapes the way one looks and watches for shapes in passing clouds..... something at this level makes me feel like this art style has extreme commercial viability and could be implemented into basically anything... you could sell this on shirts... you could have this be a background in a video game.... an animated film..... a music video.... anything. this carries a value that goes further than just leaving an amazing impression as a piece of art that also makes it seem very flexible.

Maybe I am over romanticizing soft color palettes, whatever specific style could be chalked up to define the tree, and pixel art itself, but I stand by what I have said, this is really amazing. I am so horrible because I keep looking at the tree before submitting the review. and there is just so much that is perfect about this, the salmony pink shading of the leaves that contrasts with the light bluish green in the sky to almost make the colors pop out as neon, the perfectly light orange mid tone of the leaves, the pleasentness of the green of the grass, the way that the sky turning green also reflects the way that the tree itself reflects the cloud essence of the image, the blending ability of the purplish trunk to make it so bold but still mesmerizingly hidden in plain sight

[Red from "Mandy"]

I freaking love that movie

[Because They All Taught Me Something]

Cave Story and Mother 3 were in ways important games to me as the plots and thematic elements of these games were very different from most games and in that sense rare, peculiar, and important. To see them represented in a pretty artful and fun visual representation is sentimentally as well as symbolically, really cool to me. The other characters drawn here look just as good, and my unfamiliarity doesn't take away from the art. This whole image has a beautiful vibrancy and the boldness of red running through everything is done in a way that gives it a good pop, but the slightly subdued tone helps it stay subtle and doesn't overpower what the image represents, or the geometrical composition of the image (which is very nice as well) thanks for making art

[Eartbound Enemy Animation #01: New Age Retro Hippie]

I love you thanks for paying homage to this incredible game and also accentuating the games satire of the fads/peoples styles which in a way (inadvertently?) puts a video game filtered lens to document trends and culture. like share comment bubble is pretty damn funny too
