Dioccino's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sheaku trade]

Great work

The fur looks excellent, you've done well on accentuating the highlights and the shadows on the fur and you even went as far as to add skin folds at the back of the neck. I like the tones of the entire image a lot too, very nice.

I like it

The paper style looks very nice, also it looks like the e-insurance commercials. Pretty cool work.

Omg

Oh my god, what did you do to Zero!? D:

[FF: Lost and forgotten]

Very nice work

I really like the tone of the image, the contrast is just about right and the strictly gray colors are complemented by the subtle gold, which does a good job of giving the impression of isolation. The only way it could've been improved is with maybe fading to blue a little bit. Very nice details on the model and I also like the expression on his face.

Thanks !!!!!!!

I like

I really like how you used hard creases in combination with the soft curves, really gives it a sharp look.

summary

I like the plants but their branches look flat, like they need more shading. The texturing on the walkway looks too flat in my opinion, and the bump mapping on it and the caves walls itself are just a little too strong. The specularity for the stone on the very right of the image is also too strong an bright, maybe tone that down a little. But I do like the ambiance of the image and it's a good piece nonetheless.

Thanks for the critque, you give great advice ^_^ !!!!!!

A rock!?

I thought it was an apple... The render looks tight but the grass needs more variation, the way it call kinda clumps together and is the exact same color looks like carpeting or hair than anything. And the DOF is a nice touch but just a little too strong, my eyes are having a hard time focusing on anything specifically in the scene because of it.

[Springtime damnit!]

summary

I really like this one a lot, using 3D to illustrate a 2D image. It's just really well done! The only thing I dislike is how the people look so menacing. Then again I guess the image is intended to be kind of dark, isn't it? You have the one person about to be stung by a bee and then two dead people. Great image.

âEU¢

I like this quite a bit, the composition is really well done. The flower looks like it was "fun" to make.

Thanks, it was "fun".

Too bright

I dunno if that is supposed to be the sun in the image or not but the brightness of the scene is just too much, also the fog is too blue, it makes the image look like it's under water. The greenery on the mountain top transitions to the mountain in a funky way too. Not a bad image but it could be better, also a larger landscape view would really aid the feeling of scale.

BenTibbetts responds:

OK, thanks for the suggestions.
