Galneda's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Valkyrie Claire]

What is going on with her stage-right leg? It doesn't read as "proficient in several ancient martial arts" it reads like her knee is horribly broken, but she's choosing to walk on it like a zombie. It is wildly distracting just because it's so unnatural looking.

The details on the fur of her boots and cloth draped around her pants are my favorite detail, I love the shine of the leather and metal on her boots, and even the fabric of her pants look great. The anatomy of her abs doesn't look right, and shirts don't perfectly tuck underneath the contour of the breasts like that while maintaining their shape.

If she's wearing a cropped tank top, is the fur around her neck attached to that shirt, or is that a seperate collar she wraps around her shoulders, like a travel pillow? Also I just noticed the three-way strap around her diaphragm- is that attached to a tiny backpack? How is that functional? What could its purpose possibly be?

Come to think of it, is she dressed for cold weather or not?

Her face looks good, I like her hair, the metal hands make less sense the longer you look at them, but I'm sure it's fine. The entire pose just kinda lead to these metal hands that are just "out and away from the body?" But not making a fist or anything, they're just...what is she doing? Is she in mid-sentence? Is she beckoning someone to come closer so she can super-grab 'em?

All in good fun, this looks good. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the thorough critique!

[D&D - Priyanka Sen; The Wizard of Transmutation]

She is such a damn cutie, more please!

[Muffet]

Cutie! I love her winky eyelashed eye, and the detail on the monstrosity up top is great. That fabric quality is stunning, every ruffle, all that lighting detail on it...Wow! Well done!

[Thanksgiving Chainsaw Massacre]

Damn, that's an OTC chainsaw, so you know it's good!

[One thing he's never seen]

You've really been on fire lately! Keep up the great work, I love your style and attention to detail!

Sony-Shock responds:

Aaah!! Thank you very very much! I'm going to keep trying my hardest! >v< *flexing emoji*

[Autumn Walker]

Interesting and different proportions, and a great eye for detail. I love her hair and how she kinda has this apple-leaf thing going on at the top. I got red blood pumping through me, so of course I love the strategic cleavage and hip windows. All-in-all, this is a really cool piece! Great job!

[Cut Man]

Is no one going to say it? No one's going to address that Cut Man bulge? This dude could pose up in a calendar for robot masters. Everything else is really cute about him, right down to the appealing and thematic background and his chubby, on-model arms. His innocent and friendly villain-face with his adorable bean mouth....then there's the bulge, and suddenly his furrowed brow and blushy cheeks have a different connotation.

His legs arrangement are kinda peculiar, reminiscent of anime schoolgirls with clumsy fawn-like legs jumbling over themselves. It looks unnatural, but at least it looks dynamic. The overall silhouette is appealing and framed with professional attention to detail. A mature use of gradients, and great looking lighting and shading choices bring the whole thing together, and the metallic effects on his blades are like the metallic cherry on top.

Great piece, absolutely worthy of being frontpage material. Voted 5!

Sony-Shock responds:

Okay, this is an amazing comment *_*

Just because of that, I'm editing the bulge out BUT I'm leaving a link to the original image so everyone can keep having their fun *thumbs up*

FUNNY ENOUGH, I had a female model as a reference, how does this happen

[Come n' Get It]

Major Hexa-Decimal vibes from this. Love love love! Perfect execution of symmetry, and I appreciate that you curved her body language to the side so there wasn't a rigid line down the middle for the whole thing.

[Another painting I gave up on finishing]

Just from the thumbnail alone, I needed to check and this one looks like a corpse too. The uncanny valley / unnaturalness of her eyes, and the way they look almost cataract / white makes her seem lifeless.
