KingBaller06's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aphrodite]

Is this a 3D render? Because this doesn't look like normal digital art to me.

MaddyKenyon responds:

Yes! Rendered in Blender :)

[Nova - Just Peachy]

I was searching through the featured art and found your art. I'm glad I did. I can see clear signs of cell shading but a little bit softer, which makes your artwork look very smooth and clean, especially with the varying colors in the lineart.

MollySkyfire responds:

Thanks man! I'm constantly trying to marry the simplicity of cel shading with the robustness of painting, so I 'm really glad that's landing. Cheers!

[Ice Queen of Briggs]

I'm really into the black and white look here.

[Knight girl]

I like the lineless look. How do you go about where you blend? Most of the image is composed of hard edges but do you have a general where you choose to apply soft edges and blend some parts together?

GRIS9 responds:

Thank you! With metal surfaces I usually blend only whena highlight is being reflected, otherwise I tend to go for hard egdes. With organic material such as skin I use hard edges and contrast in some areas to give form to the nose, eyes, mouth etc and in others I blend to make it look like a soft surface

[downstream]

I'm wondering how you make these backgrounds...

[Bikini Mitsuri]

The way that you communicate form with your sharp and triangular looking shading is quite unique. My general suggestion would be to emphasize the highlights more, especially with this piece since the color for the highlights and the skin are so similar looking.

bocodamondo responds:

i prefer to keep the skin shading like this for lower tier commissions, otherwise they would look almost the same as the high tier ones

[Mint]

Like the pose itself. One suggestion I would make is to add more foreshortening to the right arm to communicate the pose better.

[KNY - Mitsuri]

I love the shape and the motion that you added within this animation. The buttocks just looks really nice.

[Nejire-chan]

I really love the use of color in these works. I also love the way that you draw Nejire Hado's curves.

bocodamondo responds:

i still play it a bit too safe with colors, i really need to do more of those color palette challgnes, to really be more creative with em
