Insanimation's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Amazing.

Before reading your comments, I was thinking of fireworks too..If only real-life fireworks were as spectacular.

The colours, as has now become standard with your pieces, are captivating.

Again, the detail, composition, symettry, and pretty much everything else is purely amazing.

I would love to be able to say something bad about it, but words escape me. Top notch work.

Also, we need to get you scouted! The Art Portal system doesn't work :(

EchoRun responds:

Thank you. :D

After any earlier disagreement over colour, I am always very glad when you like the ones I pick. Makes me smile. ^.^

OMGAWESOME

As you probably know, I often try to pick each and every problem with your art out, but, unfortunately today, I can find not one single mistake.

The colours, one of my biggest complaints in previous works of yours, is absolutely perfect.

If that's not enough, the detail is amazing, with a sort of jellyfish effect at some points adding a whole new dimension to it.

If I was forced to find a single fault, I would say that the name doesn't quite reflect the piece.."Chaotic" is often something artists put at the beginning of a title just as an excuse for their bad art.."Oh, well..it's not bad perspective, it's CHAOTIC :S" This piece needs no excuses whatsoever. I feel it's less chaotic and more majestic and exquisite..As you said, it also has a deep sea feel to it.

Please, for the sake of mankind, make it into a wallpaper (1920x1200 please :D)

Thank you. :)

The name got changed on other sites - Crystallised Space instead after it got pointed out that it looks like cracked ice or crystal.

And a wallpaper was made. :)

Perspective's all wrong.

Whilst each individual piece looks quite good, together, something's gone wrong.

Probably the main issue is perspective...Generally, oblique drawing (drawing a 2D shape and going back at 45°) looks pretty shabby , maybe slightly rotate the table to stop this..

The camera looks really nice, in terms of shading and structure, but it doesn't really look like it's actually on the table..I think that might purely because of the shape of the lens, actually. It doesn't quite align with the rest of the camera.

To be honest, it looks a bit like those drawings you do with MSPaint, using the square tool, and all that, but then brought up a notch with Photoshop. Unfortunately, this notch isn't quite enough.

You have a terrible time figuring out what art really means. It's a shame.

[Dark Entry]

Needs more detail..

Structurally, it's fine. In a flash animation, it'd be great, but as an art piece, there's nothing special to make it stand out.

I think a few little details would have been nice..Maybe cracks in the walls, bit more texture on the door, just little things would make a big impact..

Theres a bit of texture up the top right corner which works nicely..

Fro responds:

I like the crack/more damaged wall idea. Thanks.

[Owen Morrison]

Pretty good..

Profile drawings are harder than you'd think, so this is pretty good, considering...

The hair is really nice, with a tiny bit of a gradient, which works really well. The scruffy lines for the hair is great too..

I think the shading could be a bit darker in places...especially under the hair..

A few questions:
- Is he supposed to have eyes, because he hasn't got enough hair for them to be hidden underneath his hair?
- What's the white patch on his face?

I realise that it's an unfinished sketch, but were it to be finished, a background would have been a nice finish.

Fro responds:

eyes aren't there because it's a sketch, white spot wasn't finished but it's suppose to be light

[Dark Cavern]

Eeehh...

First of all, the border is uneven and pointless..It's not adding anything to the picture, so I'd just get rid of it if I were you..

Basically just looks like one of those things you do when you first get Photoshop. The lighter red lines are scruffy and uneven, but the white shape is pretty clean and nice.

Fro responds:

Yep

[The never-ending secret]

Bad image quality

The concept is quite good, I certainly see where you're coming from, but it still isn't an amazing piece of art.

The grass looks like the same bit repeated a few times, which doesn't look realistic. At least take the time to draw it fully.

There's too much negative space, really..I'm not sure what you could use to fill it, but I think it should be filled.

The quality of the image is pretty bad, and even worse when viewed full-size. the NG Art Portal can accept PNGs, so use them, as they are much higher quality.

Thanks for this review.

[Space Core]

Interesting.

The planet/core looks pretty good, it's cool how you've made it look really 3D using so little.

Try experimenting with depth of field a bit..At the moment, there's only 2 or 3 different size shapes in the background. Try putting a variety of sizes.

The thing in the top right just distracts the eye from the focus, and doesn't really bring anything new to the piece. It's just unnecessary.

I don't really like the colours blue and red together..maybe red and yellow or something..

Hmmm. I see... Anyway... Thanks for this nice review.
