arvidinator's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[bad dog]

you really captured the hard-wired power struggle between Jade and Jack, which in my opinion is one of the most underrated plot points in the story. i feel like hussie could've done way more with jack, but whatever. this is great art my man!

[Aboard the Nostromo]

this is just fantastic, i'm in love with your style! the anatomy, lineart and coloring are all just so iconcally you. great work!

[Soft Skin]

Fuck yeah! Love to see some LISA art, looking great too. I love the dynamic nature of it.

[DOOMGUY]

This is so near perfect, I just think the background (and some objects such as the arm on the ground) could use some color. That said, this is still really fucking cool. Rip and tear brother!!

nathanandersonart responds:

Thanks a ton! This was part of a larger series of redesigns (will probably upload 'em all here at some point), where I wanted to keep the background elements as uncolored lineart, with a pop of graphic color to keep it simple.

I'll have to do some fully colored/full environment pieces sometime, Doom stuff is always fun to draw!

[Monster Doodles Vol 1]

God damn! These are all so creative and well made, I don't even know where to start. The palettes are vibrant and look amazing, and the creative shape of each monster makes them stand out, at least compared to other designs I've seen. The only problem I have (and I always bring this up, believe me) is that they're not really placed into an interesting environment. There really ain't no background to speak of, which is a bit of a shame, but honestly I think the designs are so good that it kinda makes up for it. Great work dude!

[Stargazing]

I like the image, but I think it could use a few more details in some places, such as on the hill, as an example. Otherwise, the colours are great, the overall simplistic design is very pleasant, and its an all-around great picture.

Kidgalactus responds:

Hey man. Thanks for the feedback!

The simplicity was kind of the point for this one... but I take your suggestion.

I'll post something with a lot more rendering for you in a minute.

Thanks again!

[Atomic Mess]

I think it needs some more color, and maybe a couple of glowing green lights just to get that atomic feel. Other than that, I'd definetely wear this as a shirt. It looks super cool.

[A collection of ships that glide across the infinite sands]

Really simplistic yet beautiful designs, I'd love to see these in a game or an animation some time.

[Sketchtember 05]

God damn, this looks good. Like, really good. Like video game manual art good. I really like the character design, your style and the palette in general. I feel like it could use a background, or perhaps some sort of action by the character that isn't just... Sitting around.

Otherwise, this is some good shit.

Sony-Shock responds:

Ah!! It makes me very happy to hear you think it's that good! And also that you like the character design, I'm very proud of this one!

And yeah, it's for sketchtember (that is, one drawing a day) but if I was going to do it bigger, a background could really work, specially something with a old styled wallpaper. Initially the pic was going to be more interesting, with a light coming from outside shaped like an angel and making a throne under him visible, but I wasn't able to make it look good -v- Still, I always appreciate improvement suggestions (and backgrounds is often one, I'm trying to use them more >v>), so thanks a lot!
