Ahkihoun's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[How did we even get here?!]

Don't listen to siltop. They were too ignorant make a coherent critique.

Despite what the background is, I dont really care. The characters are well drawn. The front hoof on applejack is a bit odd, But I think its just because of how raised she has her foot.

Nice though, nice.

draneas responds:

Thank you! AJs hoof is raised too much I think, besides being in an awkward angle. I'm still struggling with the speed to be abled to draw something like that in 45-60 minutes. This was 60 mins and I still only got the outlines in as a submission.

This is indeed nice. Love the simple style. I like your highlights, but would have liked to see more defined shadows. I assumed it was a night piece, but I don't understand what would cause that kind of lightsource. Streelamps?

But hey for 10-15 minutes, this is good.

Endiment responds:

Sunlight actually.
Thanks :)

[Orb]

Interesting. Very interesting. Its a rather odd piece, and kind of creeps me out, but at the same time I like that. Your colors and drawing style really make this a piece worth pondering on. I would have liked to see the lineart on the three heads on top tightened up a little bit. The scribbles in the mouth distract from the rest of the lines. I liked the pure black mouth on the main girl; its evident you took the time there.

Overall nice though. I would just caution the difference between sloppy scribbles and stylistic choice.

Allisawn responds:

Thanks! And yeah, I see what you're saying

[Caperknakiss.]

Aww yeah! I love this style, and your colors are magnificent. This is a similar style that I've been trying to figure out for years. Your lighting is beautiful. Love everything.

AtTheSpeedOf responds:

Thanks, that means a lot!

[Light producer]

Hey this isnt bad. Its obvious you know your way around a digital palette, so I wont make this comment too long. My only real critque is that you have a lot of confused light sources, which flattens and takes away the atmospheric depth that you could have had. Also with how many glowing dots you had, my attention was completly drawn away from the arm and hand at the bottom; and because its just an arm and a hand, I really don't have much interest as to whats going on down there. Try creating a visual path for your viewers to follow! That way all pieces of your art can work together to create geschult.

immaboreddude responds:

wow extremely helpful thanks. I will have it in mind for my next piece :)

[RED]

This illustration is indeed fantastic! I love the use of color in all of your pieces. I do wish though that you had a complete piece with a background. We know how awesome your people are. :3 I'd be curious to see something more complex now.

This is my favorite so far. I think you could really benefit from trying more of a cell shaded style rather than a realistic one. Your style really seems to lend itself to it!

DrApfelwurst responds:

NO! :D
I want to make realistic art! I mean, its fun to make cell shaded pics, but they look so much more boring than a bombastic realistic picture!
But thanks for the review ^^
