TurkeyOnAStick's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Angreh Burfs!]

Backgrounds are noobs! But it helps slightly adjusting the colours of your subjects so that they look like they belong in your background. In this case, a blueish/green tint would help.

Nice job trying to draw realistic versions! You've gone to a high level of detail, and the three little blue birds look great! The red jay does look a bit asymmetric, though. Thanks for taking part!

Luwano responds:

Thanks for your input. I always forget about "joining" foreground and background. In this case I ran out of time and just did something that indicated some kind of movement. The red bird was the first I did and the blue birds were the last. I felt I learned a bit along the way. Red's eye is lopsided and I am not sure about the eye position of the top-right blue one.

Thanks for hosting another flood and for your advice.

This isn't a review, just an observation: Judging by the thumbnail, I'm wondering what the reaction to this pic would be if you changed the rating to A.

;)

ThePsychoSheep responds:

Was thinking about it but I gave up in the last minute :D

[Safety Blanket]

Relatively speaking.

DieterTheuns responds:

Thanks tho

... why did you reupload this? This looks like you're resetting the score.

There is NO difference from the image that you deleted.

Pedraw responds:

I wanted to drag this image to be displayed first in my gallery but i have no clue how to do it

Even if our characters are quite similar, it's clear you've got a better handling at handling your brushes and colours on your face. The lips and bristle on his chin are definitely first class.

Likewise, keep up the good work!

matandre responds:

Wow! Thanks so much! I truthfully have just been focusing on improving my digital skills lately, and it means a lot to hear you say that. I found a really good sight that has helped me immensely in a short period is

Check it out if you when you have time. Great site with lots of useful tips!

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more of your work! :)

'sgood, nice job on the statue.

When you're picking your palette, are you aiming for brownish ground, blue statue and green sky?
I was wondering if the elements of the pic appear to work together if the colours were affected by the surroundng lights. Say the ground and the statue take on a greenish tinge?

Also you could possibly add to the narrative of the pic by adding some small figures of pilgrims to the statue? Would give a sense of scale, too.

I'm brain farting. Otherwise good job.

J-qb responds:

The statue is actually a bit brownish at the bottom and the ground and mid-ground on the right have some green in them, maybe I could have pushed that a bit more. I tried shading the statue a bit greenish but that seemed to make it blend in too much imo.
This was done as a poster for my mum so I didn't want to add too much narrative but rather keep it a bit serene... otherwise that would have been a good point. Maybe I could have added some birds or deer. Thanks for the farting ;)

[Study time]

These are really nice looking characters you've done here, and the clothes and background are beautifully drawn.

I think the black shadows have been simply overlaid onto the pic, however, which don't look natural - the left side of the room appears to be in pitch darkness. Also the thing that irks me is that you've rotated the scene slightly. Rather than adding any dynamicism or drama (which only contains mild surprise on the girl's face), it just looks like the pic is subsiding. I think the scene would have been better off left unrotated.

TheDamnThinGuy responds:

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it. I'll definitely try to work on the overall shading and compostition in my next works!

Rest In Dragon-baked dust.

DieterTheuns responds:

I'll make sure his evil twin brother will kill Dr Feelgood.

[Snow Tank]

Too cool for school.

deathink responds:

How can something soooo cold, be so hot? lol

[Spartan ID Tag: ZANE]

I think you need to drop the cute smiley thumbnail, Zane, since I reckon you'll pull in more views if people could see your glorious robot suits and designs.
The shape of the chest isn't too clear - I can't picture what it would look like if he turned on the spot. The tri-force symbol also raises questions, even if it's not supposed to be linked with Zelda in anyway. Would be cool to see motifs like that incorporated into the suit design.

ZaneZansorrow responds:

B-But I like the :3 face D:

But yeah, I can see what you mean about the chest not being too clear, I was caught up having fun painting it by the spot that I wasn't fully thinking about hoe it would look like as a whole.

The triforce is a custom symbol that I use in Halo 4 (and the other Halo games) that I use as a symbol, doesn't hold any significant meaning behind it though :P
