Syrupmasterz's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Glass and lip bite]

This is a pretty good attempt at semi-realism! You were able to get quite a bit of detail and musculature within the shading, and aside from a few tiny areas that don't have any paint, I'd say there aren't any real mistakes.

It's always cool seeing stylized realism, so keep pushing yourself further with your future experiments. :)

[Sucy]

Great job with the lighting man!

[Bioshock: Little Sisters]

" Also, plz ignore my awful lineart, idk what I'm doing¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "

As far as sketchy line arts go, I wouldn't worry too much.
Just keep practicing and your lines will become more controlled if that's what you are after. 'Cuz hey! There is no rule against having a stylistic line choice the one you just used. :P

The cloth and wall details are good, and you emulated the spooky pale skin shading from the game pretty well. Only thing I can suggest looking into more reference with is the floor boards.
A few of the smudges make the perspective seem a little bit flat, but other than that I can't think of anything else to point out.

Don't beat yourself up too much. :P
Keep up the great work!

lilotterqueen responds:

Thankyou so much! I'll try to work on all the stuff you mentioned, thanks for the advice~

So minimalist, yet distinct...goes to show that both you and the original developers knew what they were doing.

Keep it up!

[Genedrive Zora vs Elara]

A failure? How could this possibly be a failure?

Your characters are well drawn and have been given good poses; as well you have consistent lighting for both of them in regards to the street lamp above.

The only thing missing would be the top of the window ledges, as the perspective as it stands would show a small amount of the concrete it is fastened to if you are looking up at it.

If you learned something, then a piece of art can't be a failure. :)
Don't give up!

[Yoga Addict]

Find yourself a programmer and get cracking my dude. :P

[Team Aoi IV]

All other details aside, their lips are extremely well defined. :)
Nice work!

[Playing Cards]

I have a mini card set because my brother got them from a school Secret Santa one year...AS WELL I can say that I like the camera angle and composition in this particular comic. :P

DoodlingHitman responds:

That's neato. I haven't played an actual game with these cards yet however. Seems funny though. And yeah, I took several pictures because it was kinda hard to get it right. I needed to make the focus go somewhere, and best place to do so seemed to be the cards at the front. Because objects further away need to seem blurry.

I'm glad you like it, Syrup! :]

[Gwendy & Ghost Halloween Wallpaper]

Ghost's tail always reminds me of the snake from Beetlejuice. :P

This kind of drawing summons forth tons of Halloween memories with the art style alone. I have no idea what to call the art style, but from the late 90s to the early 2000s there was a bunch of bubbly and spooky art books, as well as shows that had this kind of illustration in them.

Glad to see you bringing about a resurgence, I'm sure you could be a great children's author someday. :)

Just four shades of blue and you made that mountain look amazing!
I could learn a thing or two from looking at this. :P

Keep it up man!
