Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[morrigan DS]

HHNNNNNG you did such a good job with this...!!
I love everything about it.

Did you reference anything for her? It turned out SO great!
Man, you're making me want to do more Morrigan stuff now.

Keep up the great work~!

Blisschild1 responds:

glad i can inspire you yes i used a visual ref for this one i used armando huertas babe seen here: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs39/f/2008/362/1/b/Bad_Ass_by_Armando_Huerta_by_PinUp_World_Art.jpg

[Lurker]

Ooo! Man, I'm with DeathInk on this one; you've gotta change up that icon so you can get the views you deserve! I'm glad I stumbled upon this one through the halloween2014 tag, but honestly, if I'd have seen the icon in the art portal, I'd have skipped right over it!

Keep up the lovely work regardless; you did a great job.

ZaneZansorrow responds:

Thanks Sab!

[Skull Tan with a Cintiq]

Heeey...! I know your work...!
I've seen your sleepycast and batman animation.

Good to see you're doing art portal related stuff, too!

Overall there's a slightly .. unfinished(?) quality to this piece, which is why I think a 4 is appropriate, but it works well with the whole Halloween theme. You also mentioned that you're doing a drawing every day in the month of October, so it'd be unfair to expect you to submit completely finished/polished art every single day.

Hope your daily art challenge turns out well!!
It's a tough commitment!

Keep up the great animations.

MrChambers responds:

Hey thanks! I'm a huge fan of your work! And a 4 is very generous, thank you :). Unfortunately I could not keep up with the Draw a day, I had so much animation work to keep up on :/. I don't even know why I uploaded this unfinished peice to begin with

[Powerfull Candy]

Haha is "powerful candy" actually a reference from Adventure Time?
I know of this ridiculous asian lemon candy that uses the same slogan and that's what your title reminds me of. Just google "Oh! Powerful Candy!"

ANYWAY back to your halloween piece--! Really spooky looking! I love your consistent use of smearing and smudging to create a creepy melting effect. Suits the Halloween/Zombie theme very well. It almost has Salvador-Dali traits to it as well!

Keep up the great work! I can see you're doing Jazza's challenge of the month stuff and it looks like it's really paying off.

Cheers and happy belated Halloween!

BicheTordue responds:

ahah thanks :p
yes it's a reference to Peppermint Butler who use black magic and know the death, it's a mysterious character because we don't know his past but we can imagine he is a very powerful candy ! :D

euuh, I have a very lot of work to do if i want to equaled to salvador dali x)

[Trick or treat?]

Aw jeeeez! You need to colour your work more often! This looks sick!

I love the character's design overall and the personality you show through your concepts. I can almost guess what this character would sound and act like just by looking at him.

Nice touch with the mouth belly too haha

Keep it up!

Iviqrr responds:

I'm really bad at coloring stuff, it takes me too long to do it and I end up scrapping a lot of stuff cause it doesn't look quite right. I'm really glad that someone seems to like it, means a lot. :)

[Don't Go In There]

Dang, nice work on this~!

I never liked doing architecture/background shots because they involve so much perspective work, but you really pulled it off and made it look fun to boot! All the little details really make this piece and tells a bit of a story while it's at it.

Great job once again man.

ArmyofDorkness responds:

Hey, thanks a lot.
It really means something when an artist you respect notices your work.
I have the story that follows plotted out. It seems hopeless but the kid wins in the end through luck and bravery and some unlikely allies.

[A spider thats also a robot]

lol @ "octuplet amputee".

Nice character idea and linework!

CaperCube responds:

Thanks for the comment, it's much appreciated!

[2014 Pumpkin Carving - Darnell]

Props to actually carving out a literal pumpkin for your halloween submission!

I always seem to forget how painstakingly difficult it is to gut a pumpkin and then meticulously carve it out, so g'job with this one.

Imprez responds:

Sabtastic! :D thanks, it was a very thick pumpkin too. yeah hoping next year I'll get an even more detailed carving.

[HA!]

Spoopy indeed...! I think your iphone's camera helps to make it creepier in this case.

Nice job btw! It's definitely a very unsettling image despite the shit-eating grin.

UrnSudden responds:

Thank you ver- much :D
AH!
I feel like until I get a good camera (probably the next couple months) I shouldn't put too much detail into stuff. Like, around the mouth area, I hit it with a micron black .005 and a prismacolor black .05 and did a bunch of line work that's rendered pointless by a low resolution camera, but it's good to hear that despite the technical limitations it worked~
(I've been a huge fan of your work since I was twelve, by the way-- Fangirling to the fifth degree right now-- haha)

[Kakashi's secret]

Whoaaaa spooky!

haha I've always wondered why he keeps his face covered up...!
Nice idea and happy belated halloween!

Jankov responds:

Thanks :3 You too!
