Syrupmasterz's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deene and Mojo]

Seems like they'd fit in just fine into the Parappa The Rappa world, and that is very much a compliment. :P

DeDeur responds:

Thank you!! I actually took a lot of inspiration from parappa when I designed these two!

[I'm not familiar with traditional art and that makes me uncomfortable so I tried it out send help]

When you someone tells you to read 'a book' and you take their advice as literally as you can. :P

Not bad, not bad at all. I kinda dig the muted colour look and how your character is reading a book with just one hand. I'd mention that the legs are too short for the torso, but I'm pretty sure that was a stylistic choice rather than anything else.

Nice simple drawing and there's nothing wrong with that.
Keep up the practice and pencil crayons will never make you uncomfortable again. haha

Take 'er easy.

Oddlem responds:

Hey, "a book" is a scholarly and educational work of literature. lel
Thank you! And shoot, someone else pointed that out too. I really need to work on my proportions since I did not realize there was anything wrong with the legs until now. x: Definitely wasn't on purpose, since he's supposed to be a bit tall with long legs and a short torso. Whoops.

But yeah! I'll keep practising for sure, I do love working with pens (though it gets a bit annoying when half of my pens have a bunch of air bubbles lol).

[The Midnight Wandering]

DAAAAAAAAAAYUM!
Each character could be it's own image, but then you went and put 20+ into this badass rendition. Those clouds bordering the Mothership are also super well done and must have taken FOREVER to get right.

Metal Slug 3 has lots of charm, and so does this! :D
Great job mang!

funymony responds:

Those clouds were a pain! I put a lot of detail into the background only to have it covered up by a lot of stuff in the foreground. :D Your response makes it all worth it! THANK YOU!

[tryna pretend that i care]

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have posted this. :3

Also, I like the way you drew the nose, that gentle shadow adds plenty of depth.

[Pharmtasm and Injectoplasm]

Cool style you got goin' on here. :P

One question I gotta ask though is, how do you get such controlled and clean lineart?
Do you do it all in one go, don't use pressure sensitivity, or do you draw it all in small sections and then smooth it out?

Inquiring minds would like to know! (If it's not too much trouble, of course. haha)

Shenaniganza responds:

A lot of ctrl+z.

[Yeti Tours]

The rare occasion where nothing goes wrong on a Yeti Tour. haha

I'm still super impressed with how you did all of the rock details. All of that careful shading and lighting gave all of the rocks a ton of depth and made them stick out from the mountain. A trick that I definitely need to learn, seeing as how many mountains I'll need to keep drawing.

On top of that, your colour choices really made this a piece to remember, even if you prefer daytime snow lighting with all the blues and whites.

Plus my yeti in your style still reminds me of Alphonse. :3
Pleasure doin' business with you!

[Zombie Girl mubi]

Very rarely will you find a zombie that not only respects personal space, but wants it itself. :P

Not bad friend, not bad. :P

Pinkskadink responds:

Haha thanks friend :]

[Ape Escape]

Look what I've got! A new gadget! Check it out! :D

Haha you made Natalie look great, nice work with the background monkeys too.

[splam]

Whoa! That guy totally just got splammed!


(On a side note, I enjoy your use of the thick character outlines and lineless background combo, very cartoony) :P

[#194]

The TRUE finally boss of Gen 2. :P

I really like the way you have the nice muted background and then have the more cartoony Wooper with nice lighting, it really makes the whole thing pop and make it oddly intimidating yet adorable.

Great work!

FlumpyTripod responds:

Thank you very much
