Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[13]

Cool..! I checked out the gif, too.
Not gonna lie, though, I was kind of hoping for more animation.

Regardless, I enjoy the style you use in your art---! It's really recognizable -- the pokemon were a pleasant surprise when I opened up the thumbnail, too!

JFDP13 responds:

Thank you! (another great compliment...!)

[myopia]

Love it!
The textures remind me of a papercraft doll cutout. <3

The colour you used for her eye really sucks your attention to her face, too!
Great work, as usual, Mandie! :D

[Mary]

Heh. Reminds me of Selma/Velma or whateverthefuck her name is from Scooby Doo.

You've got a really recognizable style-- I like it!
Keep up the great work.

[Enzio]

Just picked up the Brotherhood for PS3. Lovin' the game so far.

You did a great job with the facial features - I recognized him right away!
The details in the face are great, but I feel like the rest of the surrounding details are kind of lacking. (To be fair, you did say it's a quick drawing, though.)

4/5 and 3.5/5 from me!

[A Wolf Without Clothes]

It took me a minute to realize that the glowing dot on the right was a wolf's face close-up. I almost shat bricks when it registered.

I love this image. Seriously. The style, the colour, the butts. All of it.
I want it printed and framed up on my wall.
You should sell this one as a print if you aren't already!

[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!

[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.

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 :)
