Galneda's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[My OC, Julie the Explorer]

Look at her go!

Belthagor responds:

She has a birthmark on her face now. :D Also I made the background a bit better, imo.

[Neil Breen's Double Down]

"WHO AM I? WHAT AM I?"

A goddamn legend. Get this man some tuna before he up and decides to show us all his balls!

jouste responds:

[CM - Morndrak Marches.]

Holy shit, what a breathtaking and effective display of scale and vastness, it's almost dizzying with the impossible angle and sheer distance this thing's conveying. Truly amazing job, and the color-balance rocks too! I just kinda wish there was more of it to see, weirdly, because the way that it's cropped off at the bottom and how it's chopping that knight in half in the bottom-right kinda makes me feel like we're only seeing some of a much larger picture.

Kayas-Kosmos responds:

Thank you! I'm really glad you like this piece.

I do agree with you regarding the knight, although sadly with this being a commission there were some limitations to what I needed to draw. Hopefully I can keep this in mind if I plan another drawing like this.

[Killco's No 1]

What an awesome and realized style! I love it!

How did you pull off that dot-matrix pattern in the background?

XtremerSadiq responds:

Thank you! It's a feature in the program I use, Clip Studio Paint

[Havel]

OVERWHELMING POISE, BOYS! That's my dude! I wear half of his armor set in DS3!

nathanandersonart responds:

I tend to prefer less armor for maneuverability, but I won't lie when I say that Havel's set realllly comes in handy for certain situations (here's looking at you, Four Kings)!

[M-P3]

I fucking love it. Hydraulic abs meet hydraulic...ads. lol

Your passion for Murphy is palpable and evident, and the original designs are amazing. I've been following your teaser posts on Facebook, and I hope that seeing this done and officially submitted lubricates your engine to pick up that momentum again and keep rolling. You got a great style and I want to see more of your ideas made manifest!

-GG-

MindChamber responds:

Awww thanks dude.. love ya man

[Tonight we hunt Han animation]

It's pretty extreme for an idle animation. Looks like he's saying "Nyahoo" repeatedly- I agree with the review below observing its like he's being surprised over and over again. Heavy breathing for an idle animation is great, but this guy looks like he's announciating something with a lip-sync- it doesn't read as a breathing loop.

Additionally, with the size of the gun and the position he's holding it in, even if we were looking at him flatly from the side, the barrel is dipping too far below his feet. This would work in an isometric view where you have a plane above and below the character, but we can see contradictory information- the camera is aligned with his head, we can see that his ears are at even height with each other. That's not isometric alignment, that's just a character on a flat, side-scrolling plane. My point is: moving forward you should clarify and commit to the decision whether or not this character is being viewed slightly isometrically, if the gun could be smaller, or could he be holding the gun in a different way so it's not clipping through the ground he's standing on?

The animation is great, especially on the head and face. Fabric wrinkles look fine, his knife-arm elbow is accentuating how wildly exaggerated his motion is, and the forward heel lifting and lowering over and over again seems more distracting than beneficial to the movement you're trying to sell here.

I look forward to seeing what you have next! Keep up the great work, reach out and take it.

FsebastiamL responds:

Thank you for your review, i am still working on this animation and i gonna correct all points you said, i did not notice things like the gun's perspective and the awkward about so much movement in idle animation :)

[Ditched Teri]

STOP MAKING HER SAD, YOU MONSTER

Furboz responds:

B, b, but... I love her!

[Sith Rosie]

She looks bored. I thought the sith were supposed to be the passionate side that weaponizes emotions.

Her body rocks, I love that mid-driff- those abs of hers steal the show. There's something up with the pushed up region of her titties in the upper right of the frame, in between the top corner of her tits and the stage-right shoulder that doesn't quite seem right, and I don't know how to articulate what needs to happen to correct it, but the only anatomy issue I can see is right in that triangle between titty, shoulder, and neck.

The outfit, while hot, makes less sense the longer you look at it...which is fine, I'll suspend disbelief. The lightsaber is kinda phoned in, but the lighting effects on her skin and black clothing truly make up for it. Her hair looks great, her face is hard and stern. Sliced and diced Bowser seems like a last-minute addition, but I think it was a wise decision to defuse him out a little bit with a red glow so he doesn't detract the focus. Dual lighting setup on this thing is marvelous. Great job! Keep up the great work.

Parsujera responds:

Ooohh first of all, thank you so much for the feedback! I don't think I ever got an feedback so good like yours before haha

I know the area you're talking about, it's definitely looking weird haha I prob had some struggle on that part when sketching it

For the outfit I got darth talon as ref so it's really something whatever just show as much skin as possible haha

The colors are prob my favourite part in this one :) And yeah he was a last minute addition haha I felt like there was something missing in the BG while working on her.

I think I definitely could've worked better on her clothes textures but I really like this pic overall, I'm satisfied with the result :)

Also, I'll take the emotion stuff in consideration in the next time I draw some sith related stuff as well :) I really forgot about it :(

Thx again!

[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!
