Syrupmasterz's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Commission_Hunger at Greylords Mansion]

Myotismon was happy for frontlawn meat when he was starving, but he quickly makes things classy with the feast that follows. :P

Nice work on this! Even the embroidery on the carpet is detailed!
The player and the digimon switched enthusiasm roles for this piece, but Myotismon is still trying to keep polite and orderly. haha

That and Soulmon still has a swanky hat. Excellent. :P

[December 2021 - January 2022 Art Dump]

I always like how quirky and varied everyone is. Even characters we've gotten to know for a few years can be drawn with new emotions and expressions and it feels super fresh. :)

Keep it up!

[The Tooth Fairies Castle]

I haven't seen Hogfather, but I imagine the Tooth Fairy is about to expedite the loosening of a few teeth. :P

[The Friendliest Tour Guide]

The alternate timeline where nothing went wrong while he was showing blue guy and green guy around. :P

Thanks a bunch dude, this made me smile. :)

ProffessorDunce responds:

Or maybe BEFORE everything went wrong?

[Marketable Ma'nah]

Is it a Mah'Nah plush, or did he try to eat a giant rock and is dealing with the consequences? :P

Maiden-Chynna responds:

he screams for he does not know

[cool ass bug]

I have a similar reaction when I find cool ass bugs. :P

Nice stuff! Though even with this knida scratchy lineart styled image, making the lines on the handle and base of the bug net would help to get full clarity marks and make it stand out just a little bit better. Otherwise this looks pretty dang solid.

Keep it up! :D

[Cone Man 2: Even Conier.]

So of course, I was around while you were working on this made all previous suggestions about the lineart thick-to-thin-strategies, so I need not say anything about that. :)

Since you have the feet angled in such a way, it would look better if the torso had some mild twist to it. While someone can stand facing forwards and have their feet angled to the side, if you try to do it in real life it's a little awkward and uncomfortable. Give it a shot and you'll see what I mean.

A way to help plus up poses is to keep an eye on feet positions and shoulders, as this will help to mentally train your brain, and then that helps you figure out the torso. With shoulders and feet figured out, twists can be drawn and reinforced with shirt zippers and cloth crumples to get the pose nailed down. Photo ref always helps.

And of course, the hands are a little bit small, but hands are tricky for everyone, especially me. haha

That all said, I'm liking the improvement I'm seeing from even just a couple of weeks ago. Keep it up!

[Boot rot secret santa!!]

He looks so happy!
Thanks again Maffo. :)

[Across the Canal]

Now, see...normally one could assume that Sherwin is mildly anti-social towards his fellow humans...but upon closer inspection, all but one of the people on the other side of the canal are faceless, and I'd be a little concerned myself. :P

In all seriousness, a well detailed pseudo-impressionist piece! I like the personality of all the different flamingos and how each spot has a character with a good pose.

The brick work of everything is also nicely done, and I may have to study this to figure out how the heck impressionism makes things mega-detailed when zoomed slightly out.
I know it's brain trickery, but gosh dang I can't seem to figure it out yet. :P

Keep it up! :)

[The Two Types of Reactions for Metroid at the Videogame Awards]

Ridley is absolutely the kind of roommate that would try to diminish someone else's accomplishments. :P

Fun stuff! It's extra impressive since it's all done with ink and water colour, since I have a heck of a time trying not to bleed all the colours over each other. haha

Keep up the good work!

ClmPaper responds:

Thanks! It's actually all copics in this one though!
If you got problems with watercolour bleeding all over the place you should wait for it to dry! Then you can go over it / create harsh lines and borders. Otherwise itll bleed into eachother.
