richalds's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Simple Drawing and Lightning]

this is the better of the 2.
it would look so much better and more realistic without the outline on the front edge. its absolutely unnecessary. without it she would very subtly blur into nature beautifully. just shade the shapes and let them speak for themselves.

polhudo responds:

Thanks a lot for your feedback richalds, i'll apply them next time, it makes sense.
Sometimes I can't see beyond what i've done, Thanks

[Hangman]

alright. I still have one arm left. is there a "J"?

I really love the emotional depth of your work combined with your skill and playful attitude about the dark subject matter.

[Eagle pt 2]

flawless

Platanoz responds:

Thank you :)

[Dolphin piece]

semi irrelevant but important.

Platanoz responds:

I signed the petition. Hope it helps. It is horrible what they are doing to those poor dolphins :(

And that is NOT irrelevant :)

[Chaos Marine]

so much detail and effort and work and dirt and rust put into everything except the skulls. they look like shiny new plastic. amazing work. that shoulder crunched into a skull is really interesting

[some clouds]

this is well done. its just not much. this is a great background. this would be a lot better as a component of a complete work. or maybe just add something, like a bright sun with long beams and rays or a child dream flying and running his hand through the fluff.

meltyimp responds:

aah, thank you for your comment. c: I'll keep that in mind next time i do some more environmental work!

[Fire Breathing spider]

well this is certainly one of the more incredible things ive seen on here. also, I got here from toms favorite art, so theres that.

[Live Damn It]

I- uh, I don't think hes gonna make it.

[Edgar Allan Poe]

immediately and indisputably recognizable. I like this a lot more than that stupid john cusack movie. nailed it. the poem, is that his handwriting?

DocLew responds:

Thanks a lot. :) Yes it is (here's the image: http://dagonbytes.com/poe/stuff/annawrit.gif)!

[By the sea]

its nice, it just seems so empty. I think it would be better as a background or setting than an entire piece.
