Syrupmasterz's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Project OC]

I feel bad for the mysterious entity about to be shot by that shotgun, either for the 3rd or 1st time, depending on how vigilantly she reloads.

Nice work dude!
Anatomically speaking everything seems to be in good order, and while I was going to saw that your lineart was looking too thin on her hand that was tossing the shells, after I enlarged the image to fullsize I saw that you were having the the lineart get thinner the further away it was from the camera.
Cloth crumples are also looking good, so the only thing looking slightly off is the shotgun stock, since it looks like it's slightly bent in regards to the nozzle and base of the shotgun. But hey, guns are always tricky to draw perfectly. haha

Keep it up!

Nonochton responds:

Amazing, thank you.

[ToyTown: Our Guardian Shall Stay!]

On one hand, I'd be nervous fighting against three Tinmon since they are Ultimates, but then I'd also NOT be nervous, since if those guys were so tough, they would've stopped WaruMonzaemon themselves. :P

TaraGraphika responds:

I'm glad someone here played the game:) Yes, honestly, Tinmon is kinda an underrated Digimon. Despite how it looks, its still an Ultimate. But then again there are Digimons that very small and cute but surprisingly an Ultimate level. (eg. Digitamamon, Pixiemon, MetalMamemon)

[Musketeer]

I think the popularity of the Three Musketeers just made it so that anyone wearing similar clothes and having a sword made someone a musketeer. :P

Skogur responds:

I know, but you'd think the name would be pretty self-explanatory.

[Chums]

This drawing is just so full of charm that I wish there was a game with these two. :P

ChutneyGlaze responds:

i was thinking game while making this

[yugi-stuff]

I always love looking at your stuff since you can really show off the kinds of cool line tricks you can use to make art within Flash. :)

bocodamondo responds:

hehe thanks ^^
it may be an outdated program, but it does the job for me ^^

[Coelamon]

Get a couple more of these guys and you got yourself a fine alternative to a bridge. :P

Edit: A little Digimon World 1 reference for you folks out there. haha

TaraGraphika responds:

Yeah if you want to get eatenXD

[Necromorph girl : Exploder]

Oh lord these monsters. :P
Being drawn as a happy anime girl does nothing to suppress the panic and anxiety I faced fighting those things.

Nothing gets the adrenaline and backing up going like walking into a small room, when suddenly an Exploder calmly climbs out of a vent like nothing else is going on, looks at Issac, gurgle giggles and then moseys on over.

They're also a well made monster because they punish frantic shooting, by blowing you up if you shoot them the second you see them, since they are always sneaking around a corner you're heading to, or popping out of something. It's even worse when you see it coming from a mile a way but have to prioritize other Necromorphs that are closer. (shudders)

My nightmarish experiences with Dead Space aside, this is a funny take on a creepy creature!

I was about to point out that the tenril foot was foreshortened too much, but then after a quick googling I remembered that the Exploders only had one good leg and used that explosion arm as a crutch.

Other than that, I'd say that the braids are only really missing the glowing yellow highlights that the other parts of her hair are getting. Otherwise everything else seems consistent with the refined impressionist style you like to go for.

Keep it up!

anderhorlo responds:

Wow that's a detailed and long comment you typed ! Thanks ! Exploders in game scared me the first time i play dead space . it just pop out behind me and BOOM . XD

[Xin Reference Sheet 1]

You sick, TWISTED monster! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT JAR OF JAM!? >:O

-----
M'yes, in regards to the last time we spoke, your anatomy is better in this one overall than in the last one, 'cept this time the arms are too long as opposed to the legs being too short. :P

With the first one in the top left corner, aside from the left hand's thumb, everything seems to be in order in regards to your style, but the one below it to the right has an elbow that is a bit too long.

Hold fold your arm and hold it up perpendicular to your head, you'll find it doesn't stick out too far, it's the forearm and hand that make the arm seem so long in your eyes.

Muscles are tricky, and I certainly have my own share of issues myself when tackling cartoonish-realism. The best advice I can try to word this is that by once again folding up your arm, you'll see that the muscles contour around the bone, but bulge out further on the outside of the bone. That's why biceps and the radialis ripple while along the bone it is so much flatter.

Yet, while flat, the arm bones are curved. Unless one is unbelievably jacked, the curve is smooth and doesn't have any indents.

As always, the more you look around and practice, the more you'll see that your work is improving in regards to anatomy. At that point, all that is left is to learn how to stylize it in your own way that you think looks nice. :)

Practice makes perfect, and fear not, I shall be doing the same. haha

Xinxinix responds:

Thanks Syrup!

I've been holding off on actually studying anatomy, but a nice review gives me the motivation to go ahead and focus on practicing ^^

[Xin & Jynx Roster [Page 1]]

An open invitation to fight your OC/Avatar?
Well I guess at the very least I should let you choose the fight...
Whack-A-Mole Challenge? Or Bare-Knuckle-Brawl outside the local 7-11?

For real though, nice work!
Disregarding the potato versions of you two (which are obviously meant to be silly :P), there are a couple of anatomical mistakes that could easily be fixed in later renditions of your characters.

Xin's legs a just a little bit too short in regards to his torso, and Jinx's left lower leg is also a wee bit too short. If you try and fold your leg into your body, you'll find that the thigh and the shin are approximately the same length not including the feet. They fold like an army knife into each other, and the heel will reach the glutes while the base of the foot and the toes will extend past the body if you were to sit on your legs.

I can see based on some other jokes you've drawn and things you've written in descriptions that you are practicing anatomy, so it'll all be a matter of practice my friend. :)

As well, depending on the style you're going for, being slightly off isn't an issue depending on the action or dramatic shot you're aiming at.

The more you draw, the more it makes sense, so keep on going and having fun.
Keep it up! 3.4/10

Xinxinix responds:

Ahhhh!!!

Thank you for the review Syrupmasterz!!!!

Yeah, I really enjoy combating with other OCs in comics.

Could you look at the latest reference sheet I just uploaded of Xin and tell me if I've gotten any better since drawing this one ??

Thank you so much, again~! ^^

[Blossomon]

As someone who grew up on Digimon and still has interest in them, it's funny being able to recognize a character instantly and be hyped, then see the artist call it 'Generic Digimon'. :P

Even if you aren't a fan, you do a dang fine job drawing 'em. :)

Linkjawerc responds:

haajajaj thanks xd the truth is that I do not remember the name of this mon: yes it is a pleasure to do them however,
I have many more: v I make one every 2 days, in my profile you can see it;)
