Insanimation's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[My girl =]]

Some anatomy problems

The head was kinda hard to make out, as a lot of it was covered by hair and eyes. I think if you're going to do the eyes that big, you should really make a pupils a bit smaller, so there's some white in between the hair and the pupils. I also would have shifted the head a few pixels back in relation to the neck. It just seems a tiny bit too far forward.

I like the attention to detail on the clothes, it added another edge.

The arm was a bit skinny, and the legs were a bit too fat. It probably would have been okay if it was only one of them, but both make it evident. The legs also seem a bit too long.

Your drawing style is very generic and overused. Try finding your own style, because the same anime style gets dull after spending 10 minutes on DeviantART.

[Blue Eyed Dragon]

Woah.

Wow. The background is amazing. I love the detail on it, and the texture on it is great too..

The actual dragon is pretty good, and once again I love the texture and attention to detail. However, the dragon looks a bit like a cat, which doesn't really work. There's also something about the perspective which is off..

I always criticise you on your colour choice, but here it's better. The only thing is the blue. It just doesn't work with the colour scheme. I think some shade of brown woould have been better.

EchoRun responds:

Ah, that colour scheme again... It's all a matter of contrasts really. Contrasting colours make each other stand out. Blue and orange contrast. So do the purple hints in the frills contrast with the green plants. I went with blue here (and the purple flecks) to do just that - make this stand out. If I had made it brown, a colour very close to orange, the dominant colour in this picture, then it would have become flat (believe me, I test this when I make them - I like to play around with colour balance).

Contrasts can be a matter of personal preference though. A few like them in huge amounts, most like them only if used in moderation, while others just don't get on with them unless used very subtly. I like them when used as highlights, and I do make use of it a lot. You seem to prefer an Analogous colour scheme; colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel (red, red-orange and orange for example). That's fine, but unfortunately it does create quite a clash in our art tastes!

[Why So Serious?]

Not the Joker..

Well, this is a subject that has been completely worn out, but never mind.

I like the sketchy style. It suits the Joker's menacing persona. The shading is quite simple, but nice.

Because you based this piece on yourself, it doesn't look much like the Joker. The nose looks like a pig's. I know that's the angle, but it's still true..Lips are usually hard to do, but you've done this very well. Good job on that!

Overall, it's very nice, but not really the Joker.

Thank YAW <3

[may I take yours?]

I like the head.

The head has been done really well. I like the sketchy style of it. It looks like you've taken a lot of time here, but given up on the rest of it.

Try not to use generic MSPaint shapes so much. One example of this is the speech bubble. It would look better if you had drawn it freehand.

The colours are quite nice.. One thing that strikes me is that you never colour your characters. There's nothing wrong with that, but why do you do it?

Overall, I think you just need to get a new art program and spend a bit more time on your art.

Silent-G responds:

I gave up on the rest of it because I only cared about his face. I mean, honestly, who wants to look at an old man's naked body in the hot desert? do you? because I think that makes you a bit gay, which is okay, but you might want to let your friends and family know so they stop trying to find women for you to date. I actually did draw the speech bubble in free hand, my hands are just good like that. I don't like to color my characters because they are ugly and not to mention it might be a bit racialist. Overall, I think you just need to come out of the closet and spend a bit more personal time with yourself. thanks for the review.

[help me out]

Cluttered.

It looks like its trying to be really psychadelic, but it isn't really working.

I like the top bit with the textured effect, but it just splits the picture in half.

I'm not too keen on the shades of green and blue that you used. They're too generic and boring. Try to find more interesting shades of colour.

I also don't like how you've coloured in the holes in the text, it looks childish and cluttered.

Nothing really makes any sense. It just looks like you've taken some random text, and drawn a picture completely unrelated.

Silent-G responds:

things rarely make much sense, and then I try to draw them, and then people like you don't understand them, and then you tell me how much you hate things that you can't understand, and then I let you know what's up, and then you're man is all over my girl sayin all like 'wut up lemme fuck yer butt hole' and then I'm like bitch fuck you, and before you know it there's milk all over the floor and what then? huh? what then you fucking bitch!? thanks for the review.

[feel what I feel]

A bit shabby..

Well, MSPaint is a pretty bad drawing software, you can download GIMP for free, which is a pretty good one.

The handwriting is pretty good, and more interesting than some other premade font.

The rectangles on the right have no importance and just clutter the image.

The artwork itself is pretty shabby too. Your line quality isn't great, and nobody's arms come from their ribs, but that is a common misconception in art.\

I don't quite get how the message matches the image. You need to make it a bit clearer.

Silent-G responds:

MS paint is fine with me for the simple stuff that I'm doing. I've tried GIMP and I hate it, it's way too complicated and I prefer photoshop. I get that nobody's arms come from their ribs, but nobody has circle heads and stick arms either. I don't quite get why the message has to match the image, you need to be a bit more open minded.

[Colin]

Mike was much better

By making it more figurative, you've ruined the illusion, in my opinion. There is too much negative space taken up by the blurred background, which doesn't look great.

The character is pretty bad too. I don't like the combination of curved and straight lines, and the lack of symmetry bugs me.

There is no need to place him on the ground, I don't think. You could have had him floating with no ground visible, and it would have been just as good, if not better.

There are too many filters and effects going on here for my liking.

[Mike (colour)]

Loved it!

I love the colours used, how they work so well, contrasting and blending. It reminds me of Catoblepas' work. The colour makes improves it drastically.

The shapes, with the dots and curved lines, look so abstract, but very organised at the same time.

I really can't criticise you on this, to be honest.

Keep it up!

[Seaside Sunrise (Colored)]

Nicely done

I like how you've only used circular and curved shapes, it pulls it together and complements the blurs/glows, which I like as well.

I love the use of light and gradients. I'm not too keen on the use of green. I feel that it contrasts too much with the other colours.

There is something missing here. I think you need to have something to focus on. It's too much just like a background.

[Carrot Clock's Father's Day]

I didn't like it, to be honest..

The carrots, with the general shape and the lines across them, look more like turnips than carrots. The actual leaves aren't spiky enough, and they look more like lettuce leaves.

I don't like what you've done with the green colours, with the dark bits and then the light bits.

The grass is fairly unrealistic, and it doesn't stretch back far enough.

It would have been nice to have a background.

The writing is fairly boring and immature. As I said before on your previous piece, it feels like the sort of thing a 9-year-old would do.

I don't think it's the sort of thing your father would appreciate, as I don't know if he'd understand it.
