PoisonHeart's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dota 2 Invoker: Full]

there's nothing wrong with his face. if anything it's more honestly-done than others. I will say that on this one the armor lacks a good sheen, but there's a lot to appreciate about the shape of it and the glow-effects at work here. Really, the thing I like the least is the color of the golden plates. The white parts come off soft, but tough, like they have a kind of ceramic texture, looks good to me.

[Giles Glazer, Bounty Hunter!]

wow, there's so much here, man...i could just sit and drink it in for a long time. from that crazy texture on his leather stuff to the saggy, blood-shot eyes...the hair maybe is a little blurry, but this is really cool too because it makes the whole illustration look more like a photograph, like he is in motion...like this is just a random snap of him being over the top for the cameras. looks like a celebrity!

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

Hair's ... tricky. It can look naff if it's underdetailed, but can look like a bunch of strands if overrendered. I try for the middle ground, but I think I've fallen short again.

Glad to know you like the level of content. And I think Giles would be chuffed to know he looks like a celebrity! :)

[The Butler]

haha, awesome...I would love to know more about "the butler"

TurkeyOnAStick responds:

The Butler is one of the NPCs in our D&D campaign, played on roll20.net. I've decided to whip up some portraits of the more frequent/fun characters to give some personality.

This guy was in charge of imprisoning the players' characters for his lady mayor, but the town went to shit and he had to turn fugitive with the players for failing his duty. His story is one of the better ones in the campaign, since it was born and developed from the players' actions.

[Lollip]

hey, this is horrifying and great!

Potatoman responds:

Thanks, I love you.

[T. motilado ...]

why people rate this low? so awesome. you should do animation!

RockBullet responds:

Yes bro, this is my friend and bassist headbanger, but I intend one day to animate but studying and training and to make my debut, thanks for the support and enjoy my work thanks ... you super cool bro ... >:D

[Star Commerce]

did you PAINT this every bit? jesus. so grungey, grimy, clean and spotless. how to express the way this makes me feel i don't know. could watch it for hours, yeah i mean WATCH: this painting tricks my eyes bad.

ps: is that the bad robot from Tarboy in the sign on the dock closest?

EchoCharlieDelta responds:

No not at all, this was actually part of a matte-thumbnail series. Matte painting usually makes use of digital painting over a collage of a dozen or even two dozen stock photos, either for textures or for quick environmental paintings to show a specific scene or atmosphere. So I can't take credit for painting every square inch because 60% of this is photo manipulation and the other 40% is digital painting.

[J. Rocketfingers 3: Struggle]

can you tell us what will be different about JRF3? How are you unable to work on this AT ALL, without "monetary funds"? The first two were done in Flash, in your spare time....without the lure of "thousands of dollars". They were still classic, tons of fun.

So what? You are trying to quit your job, to do this full-time? Then what, you will upload here to Newgrounds and make pennies on the dollar....or are you gonna be another Super Meatboy sellout? Gonna do some documentary about making "indie games" and conveniently leaving out Newgrounds like they did?

I think this is a critical thing to say to you, you're practically back from the grave on this one and I respect the hell out you. This is intimidating for me to say to someone like you.

And still I question your motivation and integrity.

vastcool responds:

Games this detailed, fully animated and involved cannot be made for free, PoisonHeart. They require a professional team of artists and programmers that require full time salaries. My motive is to create the most enthralling and insane adventure game ever made.

[Factor Action]

i love this! i love the cat, and the rest of the characters are great too. i love Nana Teisen in the background.....my only problem is the ninjas! they have great costumes, but they look weird! the colors are really too primary....and they've got too long arms...haha, still good stuff.

MAKOMEGA responds:

the reality is that I wanted to simulate a fish perspective or something like that, that's why they are long arms of the ninja.
that primary weird yellow color in the line-art its for the light i need to change that
and
the perspective is my weakness i need more practice in that area [hoarsely of batman almost dying on the floor]
