Spags's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[My Wonderfully Horrible Life]

This looks almost exactly like Invader Zim.

I wonder where someone got their influences from :P
Good pic though, well made.

ArtificialFlava responds:

Influenced by Jhonen's work yeah, can't deny that...but ZIM's gone...something has to take it's place and that's (MWHL). :)

Thanks, it was fun making it...

[OBEY-Bot]

I really like this

It looks put together rather well.
By the way, you said you got a headache cutting this out, did you use scissors?
Just go to Rite-aid (I dont know if those exist where you are) or just like a little drug store and pick up an xacto knife in the art aisle, they help a ton and they only cost like 5 bucks or so.

Kuoke responds:

I used both actually. Just the nooks and crannies annoy the shit out of me cause I have a severe case of butter-fingery-ness.

[Furnace-bot Concept]

I think this is well done!

One thing that bugs me, however, is the placement of the right hand (viewer's perspective) and the right foot.
It seems like maybe the hand should be in front? I don't know.
Also, the hands are all perspectived, but the feet are just straight flat.
On the other end, I'm liking your linework, and the coloring of the eyes.

TemplarOfBacon responds:

When drawing this I kept flash and sidescroller games like alien hominid among others in mind, so I decided to just forget about focusing on perspective for the sake of carefree style.

I easily recognized the the feet/arm placement so not fixing them was on purpose.

If that's not enough for you, just pretend he's standing faced to the viewer, but his head is facing left...er *his* right :P

Thanks anyways though :)

[Coloriztic]

What program do you use for this?

The lining is neat, and I can't seem to find a good line tool. Is this flash?
A bit too simple for my liking, but it's ok.

Rawnern responds:

It's flash.
I know it's very simple, but I got bored, and just had to make something.

[Two Sides of a Coin]

It's not a HORRIBLE title.

I just don't see the coin really, hehe.
I like this piece a lot, the color really brings out the crisp lines in it.
Do you use some special program or do you draw each line or what, cause this is really amazing.

NitroX72 responds:

Yep, I use a program. It's called apophysis, it makes fractal art. I wouldn't ever try drawing each line, that would require me to be immortal :X

If you really do want to understand the title you're going to have to interpret it a little. Not that I'm saying you have to to enjoy it.

[A-Bot redesign]

I remember this

I remember seeing the WIPs for this and everything, I love the result.
You deserve the runner up, I'm glad you posted this.
I really like the cd/interface thing as well, it's done cleanly, and it looks very good with the rest of this.

Occluded responds:

Hey Spaghetti. Nice to see an art forum regular. Thanks for the props man.

[Short Comic - Sethdd]

Mmm, it's alright.

Consistent, as well as clean drawings.
However, in your description, you say 'these characters'.
What do you mean though? These are simple stick blob people, and could really just be replaced by something, I don't know.
I think you should make some original creatures/people, or something.

Sethdd responds:

well, I mean, i was kinda thinking about but the explosm comics do, how they have their short comics, i was thinking something along the lines of that...

[zombie me]

Good.

It's a little blurry/sloppy, like with the fingernails, but it's also good shading, and a clever transformation.

jayeshepherd93 responds:

i was trying to capture a simple look, as it is my first attempt at digital art, but i will be making more detailed digital art soon.

[Colorful]

Very realistic

Read above, it's nice.
One suggestion I have is to make it a little stronger colored through Photoshop or something, they seem a little faded, but it's still really really nice.

bloominglove responds:

yah... The drawing is loaded with a bunch of pastels and i can't add anymore to it.. and I suck with photoshop...

[Breakfast of Champions]

Hmm...

Kinda gross, and also a little sloppy.
BUT, I think it's clever as well, and I can see effort put into this definitely.
Also, just a realistic tip, I'm guesing if a lady is that skinny from purging and stuff, her boobs wont be that big.
I'm liking the ideas though, keep making more art please

darthnebula responds:

Her boobs could be fake ;) , actually this was my first pic I did in photoshop, im getting allot better every time I make a new picture
