Really-Unlucky's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Sci-Fa- (colored version)]

Another favorite of mine.

I can't emphasize enough how clean and amazing your colors and line work are. Everything about this composition is harmonized and balanced. The choice of color, pose, subjects, and background elements round the drawing off to an impeccable smoothness.

The amount of detail you've decided to include in such things as the wiring, armor plating, and even fur texture deliver incredible interest in the overall design of the character. The surrounding elements fit well with the main subjects as well, in that they force dynamic, yet subtle and seamless eye movement directly towards all the key points of the character.

This is stunning work and remains another excellent favorite of mine to be used for much inspiration!

[-Excalibur Dragoness-]

Amazing style and detail.

This is one of my favorite characters by you, and since I've had it in my favorites for awhile now, I've decided to write a review on it.

This, along with pretty much your entire collection of artwork, is altogether completely amazing. I'm somewhat of an anthro-fan, and your style, attention to detail, and flawless anatomy really bring the genre to a whole new level.

It doesn't stop at your character design either, your backgrounds are mind-blowing as well. They just seem to fit perfectly around your subjects, and allow me to fully appreciate the incredible amount of detail you've put into both of the designs.

I've viewed your entire gallery, and the sheer creativity in many of your creations leave me truly speechless. You give your ideas and artwork such animation and variety in appearance, it's nearly impossible to take it all in one sitting! It's a shame there are people out there that can't look past the differentness of anthropomorphic artwork, and just appreciate the actual ability and creativity the artist has presented.

As far as any criticism I could offer you in terms of improvement or redesign, I find myself not having any to offer in the first place, as you show an obviously solid and well-developed talent. Your line-art is totally clean and fluid, and the color in much of your work has been applied perfectly as well. In fact, I feel as though your drawings containing color appeal much more interest in their actual appearance than do the black and white ones.

As a final word, I would like to add that, ever since I've viewed your gallery, you've become a huge inspiration to me in becoming a better illustrator.

Excellent work, and I hope you get around to reading my review!

[HTTYD: Toothless]

Stunning usage of color and texture.

Your selection and application of color is amazing! The entire palette consists of smooth, cool tones and hues that look very appealing. The way in which you "fleshed out" the form of Toothless, the lizard, and just about everything else brings this artwork to a finely polished appearance, rendering it almost as if it's going to spring to life and fly right off the page.

Great placement of subjects as well, I'm compelled to begin viewing at Toothless' vibrant green eye and follow his entire shape along his tail, bringing the surroundings to life as I come across them. The variation in color throughout is bursting in excitement and gives the overall drawing a lively, yet subtle mood.

Excellent work! This is a true inspiration for me, thank you.

[Time's up Lineart]

Remarkably detailed.

The details and excess of lines in wrinkles, texture, and clothing folds is absolutely stunning to say the least. I love the gritty look of the drawing as well, it makes it seem as though I can imagine what the skin and clothing actually feel like.

You must've spent a great deal of time on the entire portrait, I would've gone completely insane from such a task. Excellent work.

[Da Batta]

Exciting and eye-catching.

Excellent overall choice of colors, they all mix well and make the art really pop out. The font also fits perfectly, and the subtle red backdrop you gave it certainly has a "Battle of the Bands" look.

The whole design gives off a sort of Scott Pilgrim feel, in my opinion, and looks amazing. My only nitpick is that I would've cut out the space in the O of the word "of". The blank space there is a little unsettling.

Definitely a successful t-shirt design, great work!

[Last of the Pieces]

Dig the character design.

Felix has a lot going on, great details, cool colors, and a nice facial expression. The attention and variation you put into the clothing is awesome, it makes the character a lot more interesting. The spiky hairstyle is a plus too. I love his overall color scheme also. The stale blues and whites go well together and give him somewhat of a deep personality.

The one thing to tie it all together is the great choice of a background. It gives the drawing large depth and space for the viewer to feel comfortable in. The balance is perfect and everything is nicely proportioned. Excellent work!

[Sonic Light]

Awesome style!

I love Sonic's games as well, and this is a great fanart tribute. The pose you drew him in makes him look totally badass! Your lines are really clean, and the shadow you put underneath him is a good touch.

The colors are also excellent, and they give Sonic a nice balance overall. I can think of no criticism to offer other than the fact that there is barely any background. I have to say, this is the way I've always pictured Sonic. Great work!

Thanks!

[Mr.Monroe]

Fantastically surreal.

Love the darkness of this piece, it has a twisted childhood nightmare feel to it. The way you created the gritty transition from bottom to top gives the drawing a somewhat surrealistic softness. Your overall concept of the character is also great to look at. Awesome work!

[Street Fighter - Ryu REDUX]

Amazing!

The lighting effect is perfect and definitely leaves the drawing polished. Your lines and colors are also very clean, giving the artwork a solid look. The upward pose you established really gives it a dramatic touch, making Ryu appear triumphant and ready for anything that comes his way! Your detail and shading are also perfect, and give the drawing a soft, pleasing glow.

Excellent work!
