Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quiet Crossing]

I'm trying not to be biased, but I adore -everything- about this piece.

The music is relaxing, the palette is nice, bright, light and pastel, and the scene you've created goes perfectly with the music you've chosen. The animation loops so nicely, too! If I were browsing around on Youtube looking for something to put on while I worked, I'd definitely pick this.

From a technical standpoint, I really love the cool blue tones vs warm yellows you used in your shadows as the train passes by, and your use of perspective. Everything harmonizes really nicely.

Excellent entry. Keep up the great work!

Karlestonchew responds:

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words and evaluation! This made my week! I knew you'd be judging the art but didn't expect a personalized message. I've been a fan of your art for quite some time now so this really means a lot. Thank you!

[CARTOONS]

So cuuute! 5/5

Nice job bringing KawaiSprite's music to life - you really captured the energetic, bright nature of the music with your use of colour and motion. I'm a fan! Love your other work too, by the way! You've got such a huge range of styles.

MKMaffo responds:

Woah thanks Sab !! :/D

[Meow Parade]

Hahah, solid loop! Awesome job.

This is my kinda content. Great choice of music, and great choice of kittens paired with tanks to go with Killreal's song. Love your contest entry.

OatmealPecheneg responds:

Thanks for review! I really apreciate your feedback! :3

[WHAT YOU LOVE]

Stellar work.

Everything from the pastel colour palette, the character, and the music harmonize with the whole piece. I love the subtle nod to the music artist with the logo up top, too. You're both quite skilled!

You guys work nicely together--! Could there be more collaborations on the horizon in the future, maybe? *eyeball emojis*

0205sakire responds:

thank you so much!! working with someone like garlagan would certainly be a dream come true,,, but until then I'll just appreciate their music as is

[Quiet Night - MIA2020]

Nice job!

The combined music and artwork make me want to click this image as if it's a title card for a relaxing pixel game. This could look cute on youtube with some simple animation loops like snowflakes falling or smoke rising from the chimney, too--!

Nice job on the lighting and reflections. Love the entirety of this contest entry. You and the music artist LeoBarig complement one another well.

Iviqrr responds:

Thanks for the kind words Sab ^^, I still remember you leaving a review on one of my crappier art things back in 2014 and it was crazy to me at the time that an actual big artist reviewed something of mine. I've more or less ditched regular digital art for pixel art but hopefully I've improved a bit since then.
