Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[And another]

Your self portraiture is great - I love the exaggerated features in this one.
You should sell caricature stuffs, if you don't already! People would pay big bucks for this! c:

Keep it up, man! I've been creepin' your gallery for a few minutes, and I like what I see!

pitzwig responds:

Funny thing, I actually drew this as a trial and to advertise myself to do portraits for people for low low prices! I just don't know how to get the word out
Thanks a bunch!

[violinist]

Love it!
The thumbnail reminded me of BizarroJoe's style of work for a second, there. That's why I clicked. xD

Looks great! Is this an OC of yours?

davidjmoore28 responds:

Thank you.
No its just one of those things were I do art to do art. lol
Don't do a lot of OC's because takes a long time for me.

[Dead Hand]

I just want to say: this picture inspired me to sketch up a creepy Dead Hand pic, also! xD
Thanks for the inspiration / nightmare fuel!

Yours is one of the best references I've been able to find of this guy.

aniadraws responds:

You're welcome and good luck with your drawing, make sure to post it on your page so I can see it and leave a comment for you too!! :)

[It's Good To Be King]

Mweep. Mweep. Mweep. Mweep.
I can't look at this guy without flashbacks of a 12 year old me waiting for this guy to scoot over.

Loving your art, man!
What kind of a textured brush did you end up using for the textures in his skin...?
If they were downloads, would you care to share? I was itchin' to do a zora piece, myself!

Awesome job, and grats on the frontpager!

aniadraws responds:

I used a smooth round brush and did all the dots myself. I will post up screenshots of my brush settings on my Photoshop blog soon :) it will be much easier than telling you here haha.

[Ganondorf]

Powerful.

You really do justice to Ganondorf's dark, intimidating disposition. Lovin' the level of detail you used here, from the fine chain holding up the medallion on his forehead, to the cold stare paired with glowing red eyes. I'm actually really hoping that you're planning on releasing some big top secret project in 2013..!! xD

Now, this is totally my own humble opinion, so don't take this the wrong way, but one thing that seems to catch my eye in a negative way, is the roundness of his facial features, and/or lack of sharp, masculine characteristics (e.x: stubble). What I'm trying to say, is that he almost has a 'pouty' expression on his face. ...But that's just lil' old me!!

I can't draw big scary dudes for the life of me, so as far as I'm concerned, this is better than I could do! xD

JoshSummana responds:

Cheers for that :)

But yeah I know what you mean - I was going for the older evil wizard look rather than the muscular/manly look so thats probably why. Personally though I am still learning and doing studies to get better with anatomy so who knows... maybe later down the road il do another of him :P. As for the stubble... Every image I see of him (with the beard version) seems to be that his beard just appears and doesnt graduate into his face too much, there are strands implied but i didnt go to town with it - was just trying to stick to the original. Thanks though :) was going for intimidating :)

[THE Orange Knight]

There's a familiar face on the frontpage...!

Glad to see you've completed the quartet! Good stuff!

The only thing that seems off to me is the thickness of his ankles and wrists. I'd imagine they'd be beefier, but that's just lil' old me. :B

Grats on the frontpager, btw!!

dommi-fresh responds:

cheers sab! i know what you mean the helmet is a lil slanted too

[Skuther]

Fantastic Work

To anyone just browsing around: FULLVIEW THIS.

Lovin' the bright, warm colours. Always had difficulty replicating a sunrise/sunset, myself. Looks wonderful!

I enjoy the little details you've added in, such as the character on the bottom right that appears to be fishing for something. This concept art belongs in a pixar movie! <3

[Skengar]

I recognize that face...

It's the same face my sister's cat gives me when it chews up my feather earrings, or tears through important paper I leave lying around.

Lovin' the look you gave this guy. Always been a fan of your style!
-- You and your ghost types. :P

Daverom responds:

It's not their fault they have all the best pokemon

[My Only Friends.]

Bristol board..?

Holy damn. Was this a school project?
32 inches is huge..! Some of my biggest work from my art courses were around that size..! lol I'm guessing you inked it on bristol board and then added a little colour digitally?

Either way, lovin' your take on the Batman crew. Very spiffy.

Kuoke responds:

digital*.

[Soulborn]

Creepy, yet really cool.

Love how you used the aperture of a camera for its eyes, and .. possibly for its core? Loivn' the use of textures and brushes, too!

I'm almost getting chills looking at this thing, but I can't look away, either.
Great job!
