Quarl's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mini Santa Sled Sprite]

Wish I could stick this in one of my songs but... you know. If it makes you feel any better, they worked out perfectly in this Bob Ross:

Cyberdevil responds:

Made my day Quarl! XD Thanks for that. Was half expecting you'd say you wish you could stick this on one of your cats...

Dank revision of a classic scene. I pulled up original stills from the movie to get an idea for what you did here. You really went nuts on the red table top reflections. The beard pixels are well done too. you put a good spin on things here :)

LadyWitchfox responds:

Thank you. It is an older piece of mine. But still one I am rather proud of. Christopher Lee really was the perfect choice and I made this around the time he had passed away. I need to do more LOTR pixel art in the future. Again. Thank you for your kind words. :D

[Lady alchemist]

That full screen solo is nice. You really got the glow from those light sources all worked out. So I can sleep at night, did you use a gradient layer to mask those tones or is it all pixel by pixel? It's a really subtle but powerful effect. Gives off a nice atmosphere <3 <3

EdiUzuki responds:

Light layers for each light spot matching the hue,using gradient mixed with alpha ... the shadow comes naturaly from alpha when combining all light layers and increasing the contrast in the end ... plus a bunch of ajustments here and there ... ^ ^

... I think i said a bunch of nonsense stuff but, yeah! im not good on explain tecnical content, sry ! XP

Thanks for your apreciation !

OMG it's the itty-bitty white kitty committee. Love the cherry blossom petals falling from the canopy. Nice attention to detail Hover :)

Hoverland responds:

Thank you very much! :)

[Va11halla - Glitch city]

Congrats on the site skin for Pixelday, glad I followed up to see the original piece. The animation is spot on lovely. Those purple and pinks give off such a romantic perspective on an otherwise concrete jungle. Reminds me when I used to live in Oakland CA. The city was depressing on ground level but late at night/early morning the city would get quiet. A bright red light was always visible shining off the Tribune Tower. Gave the city an odd red atmospheric feeling. Chaos can be beautiful. This is an awesome drawing :)

Sorapoi responds:

Cities are almost always the most beautiful at night. Very wonderful description!

[Friday night ballin']

lol, Kawaisprite pushes the animation to another level. Was watching the loop silent for a little while but getting the sound track on the same page as the animation was tight. That pigeon was straight bopping.

[Catboy Garf]

You somehow made Garfield enjoyable, also POOKY <3 <3

[HAPPY NEW YEAR Apollonia Saintclair 825 - 20180926 La prise (Taken)]

I have a rule against adding mature content to my favorites but your artwork is stunning. It's easier for me to "follow" artists of mature content without feeling strange about it but there is a feeling I get from your work... it's like drinking black coffee. While newgrounds gets inundated with colorful digital drawings, bright rounded edges, and flashy visual noise, your work tones it all back and gives me a sense of sanitized uniformity. It is both incredibly formal and refreshingly unique while standing out against a backdrop of artists that scream "LOOK AT ME" with neon pastels and aggressive brush strokes.

Sorry if this feedback drips metaphor but your work is incredibly pleasing.

apolloniasaintclair responds:

Thank you so much for your nice and extensive feedback.
Real and honest appreciation of my work is the nicest reward I can think of.
And as you point very precisely, I am not out here to get attention but rather to share something I have personally great fun to do and in what I also put a lot of seriousness.

All the best

[Genshin Impact - Fischl]

I usually don't favorite stuff like this but Fischl is my main girl. I was a little let down by how weird she is in her sub story but she's so useful in game I can forgive her eccentric bs.

You did a good job with the animation too. I can't ignore all the little details. Good job CJS :)

This isn't to scale. I'm a C cup but according to this image I'm a B cup, maybe an A.
