Karo-Korp's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Raven]

Really good

I like this piece, it's got an alluring appeal to it.

Nice pose she's pulling.

The crows could have been more varied in their poses though, but hey whatever, it's like not a big deal really.

I saw you've typed "I can see a few mistakes", which made me do a double take on the image. The more I looked the more her head seemed ever so slightly off but hey look, does it matter? What is this? Some sort of art critique?

What struck me about this piece and the others you've done is that they have a certain sameness in facial expressions. (If it's the same character then I whole heartedly apoligise and know that that didn't detract from the rating I gave this).

It reminded me of Zoolander a little bit...

"I'm working on a new look... Magnum, but that's all I can say about it"

This is awesome

This thing looks really cute, you'd be tempted to say you could keep it as a pet.

Though it's got sharp teeth and all, it doesn't really have the aura of being a fiend, though the little skull notes suggest he's playing a dirge of some kind.

Really neat bit of work, colours complementing each other all over the place. Great choice of colour for notes, really giving off that ghoulish feel.

Love it.

[Blinding]

Neat

Really nice. Love it.

Kind of reminds me of that piece done by that lady who did a self portrait after an accident she had.

I can't remember her name... She'd never beautify herself in her self portraits. Like, she'd give herself a monobrow and stuff... Hmmm.

Anyway, I like this, the sky is awesome. The purple and red really compliment each other and you get a sense how vast the sky is because of the horizon merging colours like that, love it.

Frida Kahlo?

Hard work

I'm sure you put a lot of effort into this, no doubt.

But I look at this and all I see is a counter strike counter terroist. The colour scheme and clothing are far too similar for me to see this as an original piece.

3D-xelu responds:

true.. the similarities with CS are... there.... but my main inspiration was GHOST from call of duty... it's just a generic soldier... like any other :-S

but hey... it has a hole in his pants !!!! TA-DAAAAA originality :D

[Boredom]

Perfect

I love it. It's perfect.

To me, the white background is open to interpretation. Is he high up in the clouds? Are the only colours in his/her world black and white and where we'd see blue sky, he'd see white? It's great, it really contrasts the hard, dark feel of the stone spire, which in turn emphasises the spires strength.

It's so odd aswell... The paper aeroplanes, falling down rather than being thrown with the intention of making them fly. I don't understand but perhaps he's tired of them.. He certainly seems to be of a care free disposition.

I'd buy this if it were a poster, it's just beautiful.

There's so much I don't understand about this.... The paper bag? The lamp? How high up does his tower go...

It's awesome, I love it.

ThePineapplePirate responds:

wow thanks a lot
there's actually not much to it to it really, the guy is a character of mine called The Dude, he was made as a character in tony hawk proskater, didn't like the preset faces so i stuck a bag on the guys head haha

the lamp is there because the tower is actually a light house
i didn't wanna make it some huge lighthouse with the big light thing at the top cuz i thought that might take away from the character, so i made it smaller and put a lamp up there instead

there was originally a bottom half to this where you could see the tower was up on a cliff over looking the ocean and he's dropping the planes into the rocks and waves down below, just because he's bored, but i got bored with it so i just scrapped it

really glad you like it, i really don't put that much thought into my work so it's great to see how other people perceive it

[another pencil]

Awesome

Damn nice.

She has an Asian look to her, which is always a plus! Hah.

Eyes are nice, smile is too and again you've made the hair silky lookin'.

I can't help feel that something's off though. I'm sure the hair would naturally slip over the face if you tilted it like that so I guess I'm talking rubbish. Though the fringe looks ever so slightly off above her left eye (right as we're looking at it). Still gorgeous though, well done!

[BW]

Amazing

I love how clean and white the.. white.. parts are. It really makes for a polished feel.

It also emphasises the eyes as they're quite dark in contrast (gee, you think?).

Hair actually looks really soft and shiny, love it.

THE EPITOME OF INNOCENCE.

TheAlterEgo responds:

haaa.. :P
i've to learn about drawing eyes more =_=a
