CrabbWalker's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moonlight Fusion]

Oh yeah poly time

bocodamondo responds:

fucking old school but still awesome ^^

[Daily Imagination #303 - Bluewater Siren]

The two-tone hard lighting easily receives a 4 on this. The cyan gives good transition to the other 2 colors, and makes it more atmospheric.

[Daily Imagination #281 - Holy Grounds]

The lighting is effective. The lighting from bottom on up imposes it's importance. The way that it's lighted is really cool as well. It's all blasted on the surface; there's no signs of light diffusion, making it seem almost supernatural. Out of all the lighting you've done, this simpler one stands out the most.

[Thirsty?]

I honestly don't know why your score average is 3 stars...do people know how hard it is to paint reflections off transparent bottles? And don't get me started on if there's water XD

Good stuff here mate.

DragonKeeper345 responds:

Thank you so much. Yeah its probably people who have never tried to draw reflections.

[Three Sardines - FestasLisboa16]

Seems like 4/5 of the top picked ones were purely contemporary themed works, where they focus more on the idea than anything else (I have a bit of a problem with that, but I ain't hosting it I guess lol). At least your sandwich one could have easily been in the top five, ya know? Personally, I think the two grandmas should be the only one in there, that was great. Your pieces overall are awesome.

[Colours/Light Study]

This reminds me totally of the photos Adobe they use for their advertisement (except this isn't a photo, beautiful work). I particularly like the abstract lines as if it's not quite flat, but not quite a hair follicle.

[Frostbite]

Wicked texture work!

[Codename HYDRA]

Your use of lighting in this is so gnarly. Almost a perfect light/dark balance. Nice diagonal and camera angle. Nice adding in the small ships to get a sense of size for the bigger machines. The piece feels more like a sculpture than what I normally see for speedpaints. Great example of a person who can establish their values, hues, and volumes as minimally as possible.

DolTiSh responds:

Thank you for the feedback bro.

[MK II: Raiden]

You got the classic vertical pose down perfect.

[Daily Imagination #264 - Crestfallen 3]

I swear I'm going to start doing the daily draw-ups one day...over time, I've seen a spark in you pushing ideas and concepts further. These are all so great.

Xephio responds:

Thanks so much, CrabbWalker. I have no shame in admitting that i've had plenty of days where I had no idea what to draw that day and it turned out bad. But the fun is in the struggle and being able to do a better job the next day.
