Quarl's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[EDDS-weezer]

I never followed Edds World but I remember when he passed away in 2012. I'm sorry, his style and cartoons obviously had an impact on you. Love Weezer by the by, very talented group of "nerds." My brother and I used to jam on riffs from the debut album.

Since you're blending styles and exploring ideas I'm not gonna get all critical with anything. 45 minutes is "playtime" and I can respect a quickie :3

thank you

[Birthday Gift for Quarl]

YES, best gift ever. Thank you Garden <3

Bleak-Creep responds:

You're welcome! Happy birthday!

[DRUGS ARE BADASS]

I did drugs once. I still do drugs but I also used to do drugs too. Lovely colors Sage, that smoke trail is something special. This would make a unique album or CD sleeve. The font edging the image border, chefs kiss*

[sunlight]

These colors are amazing, the style is gorgeous. I don't see anything worth critiquing or nit-picking. I love those kaleidoscopic lens flares noticable on top of the plant material. This image pops out of my screen <3

awww thank you!

[🐞portrait🐞]

Ladybugs, an awkward spirit animal that have followed me though a career in landscaping. I respect your taste in aphid control but also your nightmares. Dreams have a way with taking mundane things and turning them into chaos. My fiance recently dreamed that someone was trying to steal t1-11 panels off the side of our house, we did our own renovations last summer. We live an hour outside of society, off grid and powered by solar. We have no neighbors. Who in their right mind would drive an hour in the dark through the San Juan forest and risk getting their car stuck in the snow for some cheap siding panels? Nightmare robbers, that's who. Sleep terrorists.

Love the old-timey photo filter going on with your illustration. The lady bugs pop in comparison to the portrait. I'm not sure if the visual elements come together in a manner I find compelling but the subject matter is a blast. I would have slapped another lady bug somewhere close to the bottom to spread out that hot red a little bit, move the eyes around more? Sorry to nit-pick the number of beetles, you obviously have skill and an inventive conceptual approach. I just have an OCD for writing long winded, rambling crits. Forgive me sylvrn D:

Edit: a small fix might focus on that black negative space the ladies are crawling out of? A textured backboard, parchment or knit might look right? That negative space fights with the black on the bugs for supremacy. A little color in there might look good :)

sylvrn responds:

thank you! those are all good points—all things I tried to fix while I working on the piece, but couldn't get quite right. I think it was a matter of poor planning or inexperience, but I want to tackle this drawing again someday to work out the kinks.

[Dei - Character Sheet]

I showed you one bloody-skeleton-princess-ballerina drawing and this is what happens? It can't be a coincidence that I was recently talking to someone about amputee drawings, I feel like I owe you commission money now >:D

Bleak-Creep responds:

Haha! I recently realized that all of my characters are really down to earth, so I figured I should make some kind of wild fantasy design for once and she needed to be SCARY. (And I love body horror, so it needed to have that too.) She can slowly grow her body parts back after losing them, but most of the time she’s some kind of amputee.

[He Searched and Found a Cosby Hair]

I loved House of Cosbys, yip yip yip, uh huh uh huh. My head cannon is that it takes place in the same multiverse as Rick and Morty. Helps bridge the idea that out of all the infinite realities and Cosby's we could have ended up with, we somehow got rapist Cosby :c

[stop, ur under arrest]

It's me. I'm Butt Police. I've left a citation on your windshield, it says "guilty of distribution of propaganda insinuating that Butt Police wear fishnets." Your court date will be later this week and I'd advise lawyering up. Trying to advocate for yourself in this kind of litigation can be a real pain in the butt...

[AYEKERIK AWESOME MEET THE ARTIST]

IS SHE 12 OR 25? I HAVE NO IDEA D:<

(I know how to read birth dates, am just trying to be silly. Dank nails, purple is my fav :)

[Plink]

With all the gender swapped fan Links out there you'd think they'd start offering alt game skins to accommodate gamers that want to girl up. The Zelda games are so family friendly, a fem Link would change literally nothing.

Your colors are awesome, the style is adorable. Pixel line quality fits the mood really well. I'm gonna go give your other material some views, you have a really awesome style ^o^
