Onizero's art Reviews on Newgrounds

IT'S MAHVEL BABY

[Burnin']

Time to practice some more.

Various things are wrong with this anatomically-wise. But that seems to be a common trait in your drawings, except the Iron-man one. The main flaws are the short/small arms, long legs, weird torso, etc. etc. The background isn't particularly good either. I don't really like it either, so that's probably why I am sounding so harsh in this review. Just practice and study more, you're getting there.

Rotis4 responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism, I'll look into these things on my next pieces. I tend to mess up the proportions a bit when I freehand without any references, unlike the Iron Man one in which I did use references. I have some more time-consuming pieces coming up in which I did use anatomical references, so make sure to look out for those!

[Mushroom Lady]

It's alright.

I don't really like it. It lacks color, especially in the boring background. The woman who has a weird face and the hair of Sephiroth isn't really that special seeing that she's the focus of the picture. She has an manly looking neck and her boob hanging doesn't even look natural. I feel like you just put that feature in because you were bored. I seem to like the mushroom guy in the bottom right better than the 'mushroom lady.' But it seems you know how to draw well enough but it's just that I don't like it.
Inb4implying my opinion matters.

[Satsuki]

You might need to revise this, a lot.

First off the background is horrendous. I think you trying to make it look like he was falling but still in control (which rarely happens) so you blurred the background but it looks really bad. The design of the character looks like a combination of Samurai Champloo & Kingdom Hearts which really doesn't work. It looks like you tried to make him look hip but still maintain the fact he's a samurai. Or at least a samurai in training.
Anatomically wise it's not the worst but still needs some work. His upper torso, specifically the shoulders are a little wide and with the short shirt look like he's wearing some type of football pads. Maybe it's because his right shoulder looks like it's been dislocated. The face is just...sloppy. He has a giant forehead, the nose is a little small seeing how low his mouth is. And his ears are too small in relation to the eyes & nose. Also his left arm is positioned very uncomfortably. Not too mention the legs are a little weird.
His accessories/clothing are probably his worst features. The sword doesn't look like it matches the shape of his sheath. You should probably work on that shape because his sword right now looks very lame. His shirt is very ugly, just change it. The hakama is cool but you might need to work on the draping. The wrappings are weird and that shit would not be helpful in a fight because I'd try to grab him and strangle him with it, that'd probably break his arm as well seeing as where they're wrapped. The sheath and the sandals are basically the only thing I don't have a problem with in this picture. But you have a potential. You should probably work on anatomy and creativity and you'll be fine. Good luck!

[Master Red]

Furries!? ON MY NEWGROUNDS?!!!??!

First off it's furry/anthro which is about as original as creating a new sonic character. His pose is very uncomfortable and seems forced. The right foot looks off in comparison to how the leg is positioned. The right wing is also awkwardly positioned. I'm guessing that dot above his pants is his belly button, that's far too low. So basically this hyena lookin' mofo needs some work in regards to positioning the features and deciding the pose. But it's alright, I don't like it, but it's alright.

Kishari responds:

Haha, thanks you anthro-hating human! :D And no, it's not his belly button.

[Modern Heroes: Toob of Noobs]

I'll check the noobtoob out when I get some time.

I guess if you're promoting the show through art you've achieved your goal. And there's only a few problems with it. The hand of the guy holding the wine is bothering me, as well as the guy who's hand is at the end of the couch. The shadows also kind of distract me. Other than that the picture is alright, nothing special really, just some promotional art. Good job.

[Madness Ascent]

Just here to drop a review with substance.

It is good, that's clear to see. But there are a couple of problems. The main one being that most of the lines are sloppy. Most for the stuff in the background and the Tricky clown's sword. Which is also another problem, when has Tricky ever used a sword? I remember him having a stop sign usually. But either item looks badass when rising from a pool of a lava. Which I assume is under them and kind of doesn't make sense. By the way, is that Jesus at the top? It seems a little inappropriate to place him on that pedestal considering the Madness series revolves around Hank and the two other dudes for the '.5' episodes. But it's a good drawing, anyone can see that, the crows are a particularly nice touch. You'll most likely be in the top 5 if not first place, good job.

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks for that insight review :D

I just watched 30 mins of diffrent madness submissions for research before doing this. And occasional episodes before that here and then. Im not really into the storyline , but I liked the style.
Jesus had too many details and space for his head with hair and beard, I wanted to lighten the pic up to the top ,so I kept him a standart guy with a halo.

[Stroll]

The apocalypse looks a little too pleasant.

I understand that it's a speed painting/exercise but why is the backround so bright? It's looks like summer, I don't know about you but I don't imagine as the apocalypse being all warm and fuzzy. Sure you darken it up a little with the hangman but it's so bright and nice. I imagine the apocalypse a little darker with dark clouds on the horizon and destroyed cities in the background. I do like the smoking man however. Though the face construction is a little weird and his eyes look like those of a crystal meth addict, beard down he's fine except for two issues. His right hand looks...off. As if it's outside of the sleeve but still not. And due to it looking like summer I don't know why he would have on a neck scarf, unless he likes keeping his neck warm. It's good however, considering it's a exercise.

BansheeIndian responds:

I'll definitely take the criticism on the face and the hand, that's fair enough.

As far as the other stuff goes I think it's a bit of an odd criticism. Like the content of the picture is just that, it is what it is. Maybe he's not cold maybe he's covering up from the heat, maybe he is on meth, maybe he's quitting meth cold turkey and he feels like he's freezing even if its warm outside. Maybe he's not around a city? That would explain why theres no city in the background.

Maybe after the end of the world there are still seasons and this scene happened in the summer?

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm irate, I'm not. I just think it would be silly to, let's just say, give a piece of madness art a more critical review because he doesn't have a neck or arms. That's just how he is. right?

Anyways I definitely see what you mean on that right hand it's bothering me now, i might have to fix it haha. I still can't quite place what's wrong with the face but when I get a handle on it I'll probably fix that too.

Thanks for the indepth review!

[Matsumoto Picture Request]

Read up on some Loomis hun.

Well, at least you have some understanding of color. But anatomy wise this a disaster. The face is bad, eyes do not come over hair, it's the other way around. The nose is way too small and so is the mouth. I know the eyes are supposed to be big in anime but that doesn't mean you need to shrink the other features. Like Turkey said, the pose looks very uncomfortable. The breasts look a little too fat considering Matsumoto isn't a hambeast. The left leg needs to be reworked. You need to learn how clothes work a little more, the right arm has a little too much wrinkles. I like the hearts though. It's an alright job, just need to study some anatomy a little more.

amyrenee responds:

Thank you for your review :D I has a problem with anatomy haha.

[Cellphone/Communicator Conept]

It looks like a mouse.

Like a computer mouse. If I saw this on some image board I'd just think this was some crazy computer mouse prototype. And it's a little shiny don't you think? That being said I do like the colors and the reflective background. You might want to expand on this idea because I can't really understand it from this drawing. Like how would you hold it to your head and all that good stuff.

hectordude responds:

thank you for your constructive criticism. this site lacks people like you.
thanks again.
yes i heard it severall times that it looks like a mouse, your absolute right. but sometimes you have to think outside the box. i dont think its neccesary to hold a piece of plastic in your face in the future. ill upload some "in action footage" so it will explain itself. its meant to be placed on a surface and project the display infront of the user. im sure you know the film "minority report".
something like that^
