ItsLaVolpe's art Reviews on Newgrounds

This is spectacular!! The way you use lines is so strategic, from the tiles on the floor to the tiles on the roof, to the hatching!! It's just so good!!!! Comfy pose and amazing colours too, this is some incredible work here!!! Like, the way the smoke trails upward to lead you to the text?? Insanely genius!!!

If I had to suggest one thing, it may be to consider increasing the size of the canvas so that the text fits a bit better on the trim margin/safe zone. Basically, it would be more aesthetically pleasing if the text had more breathing room I feel, and that could also be achieved by making it smaller as opposed to adjust the canvas since that'd kinda mess up your focal points.

Anyway I'm rambling! I hope you don't mind my critique, but I look forward to seeing more amazing masterpieces from you, keep it up!!!

Hey thanks for the review and i'm glad you like it so much!

Yeah you're right on the text, tbh i just didn't plan it very well, i knew from the start i did want to add text to the image but didn't really mess with it during sketch but later in the process, by then i kinda just had everything in place and didn't wanna redraw, i think you're right i could maybe expand the canvas up, but the problem is i like having my canvas ratio consistent on all my artworks, i think probably like 95% of em are 4:5 and i value keeping that consistancy a little bit more than fixing the composition in this case.

Thanks again for the review :)

This is so fantastic!!! Your ability to refine forms into their essence while still rendering with such detail and care is amazing... like, the bounce light on Ace's shirt? The soft light fall-off? Elegant use of rake brush texture and tastefully fun colours??? CRAAAAAAAAAAAAZY GOOD, CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AND YOUR WORK IS AMAZZZZZING!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

INSANE galzonkos dude, kinda crazy, I love it!

I also think your design sense is so intelligent, from the hue variation in the eyes to the rake brush textures in the hair (AND THE SWEAT OUUUGGGH, amazing)

Keep it up!!!
