Syrupmasterz's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Subnautica - Reaper Leviathan]

The absolute size of that lad!
Even though I've never played the game myself, any funny/scary clip I'm sent or watch of the Reaper Leviathans always just cause the spine shiver as I picture that freaky thing existing and living on Earth.

Nice use of dimension having the Reaper wrap around the ship slightly as it roars directly at the driver inside, and having some bubbles to imply the ear piercing roar it's most certainly doing. Good line control

Only a few tiny errors, but these mostly involve just a few sections where paint goes past the lineart or a tiny flake of paint stick out near an adjacent colour zone.

Definitely an ambitious piece, and looking up some murky ocean reference images, you were very attentive getting the darkening sea hills in the background while keeping the upper ocean bright yet muddy with light rays.

Fun stuff! Keep it up! :D

[Vaporwitch]

Great composition and detail rich piece, including the paint witch, but I just really like that frog up there as he's poking up to look around happily. :P

Razpaz responds:

Glad you like it... I spent a good couple of evenings making composition thumbnails for this piece but kinda had to rush in the end. One thing that was certain is that I definitely wanted a frog somewhere.

[Lotus Dragonborn]

As if being a giant dragonborn wasn't imposing enough, guy's carrying a cannon around like it's a gun. Good lord. :P

Good piece!
The pose is well thought out and the lineart isn't clashing at any points and those are some well drawn hands. Only thing worth pointing out is that since the cloth/cape details are shown as a smooth white colour, it blends in a bit with the white background, which is magnified with how the ground does have a bit of detail.

Absolutely nothing that couldn't be fixed, as the rest of the piece is pretty solid.

Glad to see ya back dude! :D

[weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

She grew another set of wings with a different colour, which means she must dye her arms blue! :0

[4 Hour Art Duel With Syrupmasterz - Miku Doing Taxes]

Always impressed when people work with thin lineart, and the fact this was a 4 hour race to the finish, you were able to squeeze in a lot of detail and colour into this piece.

Hats off to ya, ya beat me fair and square in this duel. :P

[Stickynote memories]

A lot of the 50s style diners in my neck of the woods would hand out activity sheets and crayons, but a few places did just have a big paper tablecloth that you could just turn into a giant scribbly mess if you wanted to. Tons of hangman and tic tac toe like you see here too. :P

One of the things I like about your drawings with backgrounds is how 'alive' it looks, i.e it isn't just a bunch of generic boxes or the bare minimum to match the setting. Different coloured paper, some of the stickers are on Rick etc etc.

I reckon a lot of it comes from memory and reference photos, but it still lets me know I've got more to learn.

Nice work once again!

TheDyingSun responds:

Adding stuff to the backgrounds has become a favorite part of the drawing process. It's been helping me slow down drawing and making me enjoy it more :)

And yup! A lot of it comes from memory and ref photos. Since starting to work with these guys, I've been taking more notes on what's in a diner when I go. References help jog my memory.

Stay frosty Syrups B)

[Nodachi The Swordsman]

He's about to slay evil demons or work at a summer hotdog stand! Depending on how he's feeling today! :P

[Muscle Mage Danu]

Out of mana, but not out of options. (Throws a punch at the bad guy that stole her magic)

[She dont like clean lines]

Not liking your clean lines, but still drawing them anyways is the first step to actually sort of liking your clean lines.

While I'm not familiar with your buddy's character, I can say that it's a pretty good drawing, just watch those fingers and try to tackle some more leg anatomy when ya got the time. :)

Keep at it dude!

[triforce heroes dude]

Hero Lobsters! Now in three fruity flavors!
Mango, Sour Apple and Blue Grape!
