CS02's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Codex Black - Character designs #9]

It's tricky to find balance between body markings and the clothing, in a way that the design doesn't look too busy. Nice work.

Shi-Gu responds:

Thanks! Indeed, that's why I went for a simpler design for their clothes. A more accurate depiction of Huastec characters would have them topless or completely naked, since the tattoos were considered "clothing" in a sense. But since these are for a published book series, I won't be able to get away with that. Still, tattoos over the entire body were extremely common among them, so I had to include them.

[Ultraman Great]

Looks great.

AlmightyRayzilla responds:

Well, he certainly doesn't look Leo, Tiga, or Powered. :P

[Speedpaint crap]

Your background art has this dream-like feel about it.

DevilRat responds:

That's a quality I focus on... As this was designed to be fast and quick I try I focused. Nothing will top " Another Liminal Space ". This background would be good for a desktop though.

[Flower]

Both variants look great.

AntonM responds:

thanks :)

[Tormenting Place]

Awesome work.

DevilRat responds:

I would say, this is one of my best works for the REFLECTIONS, alone make or break this.

[Character Lineup: Blade, Roda, & Luna (Year of the Tiger)]

I love the coloring.

AirCityStudios responds:

Thanks!

[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Poster OVA Style]

Awesome work.

martinsaenz96 responds:

THX!!

[Meme Bird, I sworn this was a shitpost]

I like the way you draw animals.

DevilRat responds:

I like the way you draw. I tried to avoid it looking stiff compared to the original image, but capture that essence of shitposting, but.... Beautiful. I like trying to speedpaint stuff like this where the it has no right to be this good. Tried to give the bird a " DAMN! " While squaking and sort of mocking feel to it. I used one layer to do all outside some subtle canvas texture as an experiment if I like it or not. This is a mix of RGBA brush work, chaos, and knowing how to reference enough to get it to look decent.

[Metall Man]

Surprised that Capcom never did this.

Karakato responds:

In the cancelled Mega Man Universe, pne of the custom characters they showed off was a "Met Man". But yeah, he was just a mishmash of mm2 designs with a met head.

[Walking Bushie :3]

I love this.

blopvlop responds:

thanks :D
