Quarl's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bowsette]

Perfect color, tight line work, juicy lighting effects but I'm taking a point off because this is too titillating. I don't come to newgrounds to be titillated thank you.

I'd have put a text layer in the background and just repeated the block of text to create some depth. I'm the kind of ADD junky that needs a ton of stuff to look at. A black background is too plain for such a colorful drawing :p

[Princess Yoshi]

This is my favorite princess so far. Great illustration. Color is dynamite. Surreal coins dropping in from nowhere. Nothing is too titillating. Perfect drawing. Was satisfied.

Some input if any, this could go with some text or a "1-up" hiding in the background.

You could hide the "1-UP" in the background with a masking layer, have the text layer sit on top of the pink background. Start typing with a large, bold font, and transform the size and/or perspective of the text or characters. My second or third year at Alfred Uni had us play with text in design. The class didn't have a real design artist and was taught by my Sound Art professor. He was constantly stoned. Font can be a pretty universal creative tool. In no way would this make your drawing any better, I already said it was perfect.

Just tossing an idea at you :)

Thanks for taking the time to review!

I do appreciate your input - you may possibly see more text in my future artworks :)

[Whee!]

Love the colors. Made a surprisingly good wallpaper for my android ^o^

I will, but only because you told me to.
No one else matters.

[Pure Love]

No joke, every lesbian romance movie or tv show I've ever watched featured a bisexual girl engaged to a dude who falls in love with a butch which forces her to choose between the dude or the girl. Cliche as fuck, glad you also noticed how corny GLBT media typically is. Sure, the stereotypical American narrative might have made more sense a decade or two ago but this generation is moving on. I think producers need to explore normal GLBT relationships more often instead of portraying us all as confused and conflicted because we are most certainly not.

[Pit People]

Woo! Ten years is a good amount of time to take a break from drawing. I open my sketch pad once a year and basically cry into it.

[Bees making honey inside Tamagotchis]

This is flipping dandy. I love this.

[Alien Hominid]

This was made in 2 hours? Good job Ivo, loved the color on the background. Alien Hominid doesn't get enough rep.

[Somewhere Other Chapter 16-1]

I saw this on the front page, congrats. My only concern though is that this could of had the panel with 98% hips. Missed opportunity. You were so busy expanding background characters that you lost sight of what truly matters. You're lucky Tacker can run things on his own. That robot is adorable.

I K N E W I was missing something. I messed everything up, I'm sorry everyone. Tacker needs hips, got it.
