TurkeyOnAStick's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Magnificent

Your choice of colour palette is exemplary, and is only out-shone by the wonderful use of sparkles and the way you've drawn her eyes with a few strokes lines.The viewer has been embedded into the mind of the subject, which you've achieved with the simple use of a white fluffy brush.

This strip surely reminds us of the heart-felt tragedy found in Lichtenstein's Drowning Girl, and can be truly a wonderful modern representation of such a poignant classic.

10/10 - a marvellously moving masterpiece

It's a copy

It's a copy of a mural by El Mac on La Brea in LA.

Provide a damn reference, so it doesn't look like you're taking credit for somebody else's work.

Oxycottontail responds:

Phwoar

I'm wondering if the candle's a subtle way of satisfying shad's appetite for dick-birds!

Great idea.

BizarroJoe responds:

... And you wonder WELL.
There's an spanish saying that states:
"No hay mas cera que la que arde."
Which translates roughly as: " There is no more wax than the one burning." It means there's no more than what the eye meets.
... Or is it, in this case? >;D
Only Shad would know now...
How is it I tend to end up talking about language curiosities with you...?
Thank you very much for your keen comment, Turkey!

[Charger]

Cool concept ...

... but why do you resubmit some of the pics in your gallery?

I've seen this pic uploaded to your NG gallery twice now, as well as the arctic soldiers.

FabriceSalomon responds:

Last upload broke, Was not able to comment on it.
Arctic soldier was resubmitted a while later after I had retouched it.

[Last Combat]

Yup

Great idea, great execution.
Best of luck in the contest!

[Cityscape 3]

Mm..

Not sure what to make of this.
- Painted in about 3 hours, with a large aray of brushes and textures, shows you're a very organised fellow!
Negative bits:
- I think you could have used the polygonal lasso tool, or some long rectangular brushes, to avoid the curvy edges on your building.
- Whilst you've got a good mix of red/blue/yellow colours, I could only think you would have a red glow on the buildings at dusk, and not when you have a clear blue sky.
- I reckon the neon signs (and text in any image) is better if you download a font and typed it in, rather than drew it in.

Sorry if this review has been a bit specific about the negative points.

Kamikaye responds:

Thx , one of the few useful reviews around :)

I know about the typed font, but I kinda forgot about that here. Even though I have a lot of fonts for such occasions.

[The start of something]

What's another word for "Nothing interesting"

I love it when people make some random squiggle in Apophysis, or some similar program,
Think, "Fuck it, I'll upload it to the art portal."
and try to post some vague crap in the author's comment, like, "Use your imagination!", "There's something in the void!", or in this case, "This is the beginning!"

Not deep.
No way clever.
Total shit.

Zolen responds:

Never used Astrophysics(in fact this is the first time I have head of it), I made this using a mix of pain program to plan form and gimp to add detail. All Authors comment was, was a bad joke, lower comment to past commenter is just simply the way I type at times, there is no aim for "deep" of "clever" in it. It just is.

Hm, yet it seems like you attempted to bother me or insult me in some meaningless way. Regardless, I would request that you point to something less vague if you attempt is criticism. Mine was aimed to be vague what about yours?

Understand I am not that good a artist, so while this may look like worthless squiggling, it was not as easy as that to make it as it may seem to be to you.

Please don't try misunderstand anything I say as a insult, just try not to assume as it seem was the reason for your main negativity. (if you wish to reply do so in PM)

[Matsumoto Picture Request]

Meh

The colour's are quite nice, but that pose looks really uncomfortable. I think you should consider using a reference if you want to go for an adventurous pose again.

The pic itself: popular anime sex bomb with legs wide apart? Cheap, naff art.

amyrenee responds:

Yeah I agree with you I think I rushed her body and really didnt consider the comfort of her pose, it looks awkward haha. :D thank you for your review.
