LostInScreens's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[GlassSpider]

The backstory you wrote is wonderfully creative. The spider idea is creepy and conveyed symbiotically into the whole character (glassy spider eyes). It's definitely shocking to say the least. The only difference is that it does not look like an Overwatch character. It's more cartoon than videogame, and the only reason people will know its related to Overwatch is by reading the backstory. Overall this is not a problem because the whole concept is done in such a unique fashion. Awesome work!

ZeTrystan responds:

Well thanks a lot! I'm super happy you enjoy the general theme of the character! (I, for once, enjoy it as well!)

Haha, about the Overwatch "likeliness", it wasn't really a concern. With friend, we just imagined stuff, it wasn't made to look like it could fit the Overwatch game itself. ;)

[A Flow of...]

The hair looks amazing. I don't have the patience yet to draw that many lines.

Just what I needed to see today before applying to college. Its always nice to see an artist redo their work from however long ago. I'm impressed that you were able to transform this much in just two years. Hope to see more of these types of illustrations if you still have them.

SimonT responds:

Thank you very much mate! Btw. About the older stuff send me a private message if you want I'll send you some older stuff after I'll get home!:)

The only place that has too little and too much is her hair and heels. She should have more hair where the split in her headpiece is and her heels are to pointy for her laid back expression. Maybe if she had a shocked expression. These are minor complaints though because you nailed the 90's cartoon look by simplifying her features and applying a thick outline. I know I only wrote on this one but your Devil Mercy and Reaper are awesome too.

DarkDarren responds:

Thanks! I completely agree on the hair thing, it was probably what i had the most trouble with along with the heels, at first. Though with the pointy heels, those are mostly just a personal preference for me so i can see how they don't fit the same way. But i will definitely take this into account!

[Just As Planned.]

Say this on April 1. It compliments Trumps face on the right side of the screen.

[Panther rider]

The eyes and the tail seem a bit off due to their lack of detail but I think overall it looks good. But then again I'm not a artist so I could be missing the point of where exactly you struggled with this piece.

SimonT responds:

Good points, thank you for feedback!

[Doodles]

Chaotically colorful characters yeah! Just read the first chapter, you have an intriguing imagination that sticks the story together wonderfully with your art style. I'd write more but I want to continue reading.

[Cubone]

Dat eye. Then I saw that he was giving me the finger.

[Cadence from Crypt of the NecroDancer]

It seems like a lot of color for a a game set in a dungeon. Is the background all enemies, hard to make out whats in the top right for someone whose never played this game. That aside a lot of color and no blank space makes it pop. Good luck in the contest.
