Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Soviet Tankmen]

Very inspiring.

Awesome job! You've out-done yourself, yet again!

I now have this urge to try out for the 2013 calendar.. :P
I can imagine that the feeling you get when you're holding your own artwork in published form is pretty groovy-- When do we usually start submitting for that, anyway?

Nekow responds:

The threads usually open up around september over at the forums. Can't believe you haven't submitted anything over the past years!

D'aw.

I'm loving the use of colour in this picture! Not everyone can pull off a pug painting with purples and blues..! Great work!

thank ye ma'am

[Just the way I remember]

Cool Beans!

Hey! Nice work, for several reasons:
1. You managed to make this using a mouse..!! I'd probably destroy my computer in frustration if I had to work with one these days. lol
2. This is your first major digital art submission..! You're a natural.
3. You seem to have a great sense of colour and value.
4. The composition is really nice - she's nicely framed and centered for our viewing pleasure. c:

If you're really in it for the criticism, I'd be happy to oblige! Just don't take anything I say too personally. I'm not some know-it-all artist who is aiming to sound condescending. It's all just personal opinion aimed at trying to help you. c:

1. She seems to be a little scrunched into the frame, as if you ran out of space to fit in the bottom half of her torso. It might just be the perspective, though. If you only look at the bottom half of her body, I get the feeling that you're looking down at her slightly, so her abs have been foreshortened.

2. Her breasts are a tad un-even, but it's not hugely noticeable.

3. Her left arm (the right one, from our pespective) seems to be attached to her body a with too wide of a shoulder. Her under-arm strikes me as extending downwards a little too much, and almost extends out of her breast.

4. You could add a little shading and highlights under her neck to accentuate her collar bone - in the picture here, she doesn't really have a collar bone.

5. The proportions on the face and head are nicely done. Her right hand (the one behind her head) seems to be a little off. Her wrist is a tad too thin, and you seem to be shying away from drawing her hands alltogehter.. Don't be afraid of hands! They're hard to draw, but you can really get crazy in nude pictures like these. Hands can be all kinds of suggestive.

AshGreat responds:

Thanks. I will make sure to take note of this in my new works.

[Smash Time!]

Holy damn that's awesome.

Please forgive the fact that I'm writing this on a phone and I can't type or spell for shit with these things. It's also 3 in the morning.

Anyway...!

I'm really impressed by everything in your gallery! Nice work! I traced you back from a tweet you left me on twitter a while ago, solely because you struck me as the artsy type. I'm glad I did! You've got some really inspirational stuff.

Full scores from me! :)

Pegosho responds:

Thanks Sab! You are really talented I must say, you even own at pixel art, that's always a plus for me. :)

Btw, I'm not THAT artsy (at least i don't look like one.), I've just been learning about colors recently and I'm hooked! You should definitely try split complementary and double complementary, that's where the action is!........omg, I'm arsty! >_<

Keep rockin' Sab!

[Another Sabtastic Birthday!]

That looks Nekow-tastic! B:

FEAR NOT, PENGUINS: FOR SABTASTIC SHALL DESTROY THE WEAKLING ZOMBIES AND GET YOU TO WATER!!! D:

Things I love:

- The Zoey sweater, and general likeness of Zoey
- Penguins Penguins Penguins Penguins
- Zombies attempting to eat my brains
- The overall awesomeness of it all
-The Battle Boots (May they R.I.P)
- Potential Zombie cameo in the background?
- Choice of weapon: Auto-shotie all the way!

I've got to do some background searching on you, now, mister!
I have to get you back! lol <takes note of birthday>

Nekow responds:

Most fun I had painting in a good while. Really glad you're enjoying this.
Good luck getting me back, ha! :D

LOVE IT! C:

Beat this about a week ago, too. I loved every minute of it!!
There were so many easter eggs that I found out about after, too... I'm thinking of beating it again.

...Did you know that the concept art for GlaDOS was based on a bonded and gagged woman hanging upside down? ... Creepy shit, I know...!! ._.

I really like your painting style. Would love to see you livestream / ustream some time to check out how you work step by step!

Keep up the great work!

AJennyPenny responds:

Yeah! That's a good idea, I've seen other artists do that. I'll get a Livestream account :D
I had no idea about Glados, Now I feel kinda bad for her, Haha. Makes me want to play the game over too. I'm going to go play Co-Op right now actually, to see how it is!
