Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Golduck]

Haha that's so awesome.
Love your minimalistic style here -- and how consistent you are from Pokemon to Pokemon...! You have SO MANY finished now! o_o

Just out of curiosity, are you using these for a bigger project or something? Like... for buttons, or a collage?

I think the only thing that strikes me as slightly off is golduck's centre-most hand. Could use a dark outline to add a bit of definition. The way my monitor's showing the colours right now, his arm seems to blend right into his body -- but that could just be my shitty monitor.

Keep it up!

Gerkinman responds:

Thank you, the style is an experiment, I want to see how far I can strip back the original character designs while still keeping them recognisable. Im up to 101 on my tumblr ha ha.

I dont know what I will do with these when they are done, other people have suggested badges as well but I got tired of cons around 5 years ago. Ill not doubt make some kind of poster with all of them tho.

I think your right about his hand, sometimes what I see on my cintiq isn't what I see on my laptop or on other peoples screens, can be frustrating.

Thanks for the feedback :)

GU'JERRRB: you're getting way better with landscapes.

[Break time]

Pretty cool...! I think this is a first for you. Haven't seen you do a whole lot of backgrounds in your work.
Looks good!

I like that you've incorporated bright lighting and shadows and stuff -- but I think you're missing quite a bit of shadows and light in places. The rocks, for example, would cast pretty solid black shadows, and the characters look like they're missing some pretty intense lighting from behind them.

The rocks and what-not look pretty nice, though...!
Next time you're on Skype/visiting I'll try to show you a cool background technique you might like.

Keep up the sweet work!

KA-YOOT! :3

Love your style - really clean, minimalistic.
Done on... Illustrator? Photoshop?

Gerkinman responds:

All done in flash, I spend around 15 minutes on each, sort of like a warm up exercise. You stuff is awesome so im glad you like my stupid simple little designs ha ha.

[Curly Brace]

Mario644 responds:

Thank you very much!

[PUZZOOOO]

The fact that this all spawned from a mask review makes me happy. It's all so random.
Great to see new stuff from you!! :)

[Mulrektir, Revised]

Holy mother of god that's some intricate work...!
Have you been frontpaged here yet?

You REALLY deserve a feature 'cause this stuff is awesome.
It looks even more amazing up-close in high definition.

Also woohoo! Another Cintiq 22HD user...!! HIGH FIVE!

Jenou responds:

Hey, thanks, friend! But yeah, they don't give out FP spots that often :P

And yes, cintiqs are bomb

[Custom Vans]

Gotta love the ol' eggs on a nail look on granny. hahaha

HugoVRB responds:

Thank you :D!
I'm glad you like it.
Haha I had so much fun with this.

[Red Shades]

Aaah - cool! Never thought about using a cape like that for a pin-up...! o:
I just might borrow that idea someday.

Super awesome art - love your style!

bloominglove responds:

Haha Thank you! YOUR art more amazing! >_<
This is a fairly new style for me 'cause I'm not use to posting naked chicks. lol
