Guidodinho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jungle archer]

I think you got away with having the foot in just that simple shape bacause of how pixely it is. More detailed, higher resolution & all that jazz and it propably would've looked weird. But usuallg when constructing feet, it probably (besides using refferences obviously) to build it up with simple shapes. I usually go for a circle on the ankle, a little wide bottomed cone hanging down from it, then connecting a flat rectangle angled towards where the foot should be poiting too.

One thing on anatomy where I often goof on myself is accidentaly making the torso a bit too stretched out. Wich I think you did a bit on this one too, if you compare the length of the torso with the legs. Good idea for that would be to find a similar pose, or any other pose standing up straight. Then draw some horizontal guidelines at shoulderheight, hips and at the feet or ankles, wich may help keeping the general proportions right. Hope that helps.

One nitpicky thing I personally didnt like looking up close. Is that the size of the pixels were smaller on the part of the tree on the bottom, made it look a little unfittingly smooth compared to the rest. And the light beams seemed to be perfectly straight angled lines istead of having fittingly pixelated edges, though not even that sure if that would've looked nice anyway.
But all in all. Still looks pretty pro, bro.

[Commission- M O M O]

Absolutely love how those blues and pinks pop out of the green backdrop. The accecories look amazing and interresting as well. Absolutely not a fan of bunnyears n shit. But the way they're they're designed with the lil cherryblossoms in water looks amazing, same for the necklace. Could stare at those two for a pretty long time.

One silly complaint, probably the one who ordered the commission to blame for that. But the giant knockers bursting out of the otherwise lovely flowery shirt, kinda draw the focus away from the rest of the piece. Think it would've looked bit more elegant if it was buttoned up at least (or just a bit more petite). Nothing against big ol boozums, but makes it harder to appreciate the prettieness when my eyes are pulled down by the gravitational pull of those planets if ya catch my drift.

But absolutely gorgeous nonetheless. Hope ya made some good bucks outa that commission, cause it sure deserves it with that quality.

[Enepsigos]

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Also struck a good ballance of some outer stuff that look slightly blurry in contrast to the center things looking sharper. Helps steer the eyes in the right dirrection.

As for the name thing. Deffinetly get that. Really sucks when people take stuff and post them without permission to hog the views for themselves, without doing any of the work, or not even linking it to where they found it.
I would reccomend a bit more creative approach though. Like develloping a stylish signature to work into your pieces. Sure you did match the text colors with the black and blue from her robe and her hair, but other than that its a bit dull.
Like it might've been cool to have your signature engraved in the arrow that pierced her for example. Maybe even like in a bit of a glowy elf-ish font. Like how the ring in LOTR glowed when it was held in fire.
Just some food for thought. But regardless, always a wise choice to put your name on your work (I also preffer it, so when I do find nice art elsewhere and wanna look up more stuff from the artist, I have a name that I can look up).

Zakuga responds:

I'm always scared to do a fancy name, because I don't want ppl to get distracted by it, but finding something more elegant wouldn't hurt.

[Merry Christmass from Suomi]

Wai.... Whu... But, ehhg...?THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!!

Suppose its not for good. But think a lot of peeps are happy to see u 'round NG again.

Anywae, lovely piece. The lighting comming in from the left looks great. Think its a good choice not to have gone for a like, twisted upperbody, like a lot of more conventional pin-ups do for showing both the bottom and the chest. Instead opted for the less overused, illusive sideboob. Wich is in all weirdness to say, honestly one of the best teasing sideboob shots I've seen.

Only minor nitpick I could put on the table would be the hat, and the bunney-ear-ish ribbon. They look a tad flat to me comared to the rest in the piece. I think if there was just a bit of depth/perpective applied to those accesories, it woulda perfected the cherry top. But still, tiny lil nitpick.

And merry x-mas to u too! Hope that shitty hysterical Maria Carrey song wont drive ya mad like me ';).

i've only heard it once...so far

[Mech Bun]

Thigh high socks: check.
Hotpants: check.
Bionic arm: check.

All my weaknesses in 1 bunnygirl. Gives the classic Lola a good run for her money

[She Bop]

Hands down the sexiest K.O.F girl. Also love the contrast with the highlights and shading. Only then chin and mouth look a little akward. Otherwise, great piece with a lovely paintey look.

[Mai Shiranui for Smash?]

Well, we have Blue Mary in the background of the K.O.F stage. And she has the better jigglies anyways.
But luv that expression on Daisy's face. And the simple designs look quite appealing, exactly enough detail to be easily recogisable, not too cookiecutter chibi either.

PilloTheStar responds:

In my case, simplicity is a byproduct of laziness.
But hey, I'll take appealing. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks.

[Sonic be THICC!]

Is knew there'd be stuff from him in that towel after seeing the trailer with his redesign. Now to redesign all of those human actors and enviroments and to replace those with animal CG guys (possible exeption of Jim Carrey.

Anywho, about the art the lines look nice and confident, no squigly shit. The towel looks a little stiff though, especially from where it goes down from the waist, when it comes off of the butt, it has this outward curve with some space between the skin wich i think shouldn't be there. That curve shoulda been on the skin instead of kinda hovering over, then transition outward at the end to follow the bed a little.
Could be something said about the wrinkles at the waist as well, but thats a whole deeper thing to study, wrinkles in cloth n shit.

ProtagonArt responds:

Thank you for the critique, always good to gain advice for improvement!

[Princesses in a cheap B movie]

Loving the juicyness of Zelda's legs there.
And nice tacticall cover-ups so u did have to draw any feet. Though on Zelda's raised leg it looks a little weird if u look closely, like the foot just dissapeared. I think the part of the skirt needed just a little shading to suggest the shape of it just a little.

Namenloose responds:

Thank you! Glad I captured the legs right then.
Tentacles needed to show up somewhere in the piece, so the feet were a worthy sacrifice.
You're right! I didn't pick up on that until now. Should have put some more fluidity and interaction between the fabric and her foot. Thank you for the critique, much appreciated!
