NovanByworks's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yoyo]

Love this indeterminate little creature! Very 90's Nicktoon vibes going on, though I can't read the "Ladies" without hearing Mung Daal.

Lumspark responds:

YES good that was my intention lol

Thank you!

[Reunion]

Dang, even her parents didn't show up. Brutal.

[Espio is cool]

He is cool. I love his little mannerisms in the original Chaotix game. For the record, who are your top two?

Lumspark responds:

Ditto! Also, my top two are Sonic and Knuckles respectively

[JLU 011-005]

Man, I barely remember when gas was that cheap.
Love the framing and colors, very moody. Great work!

[Metro Station]

Well, better luck next time. And the next time, and the next time...

Wuchta responds:

They'll make it one day, just gotta be patient.

[Griminal Investigation]

I recognized that room as soon as I saw it.
Grimace shouldn't have taken those shower pictures if he had hoped to get away with it.

Sirmi responds:

lol I was wondering who would recognize it!

[Blockirth kingdom (Mario)]

Great job! Love how the color palette makes the characters/objects stand out from the world. Only thing I'd adjust is the contrast on the background layers since they kinda blend with the foreground. Other than that, it's very fun and dynamic! Makes me wish we could get more stylized Mario games.

CheetoDeeto responds:

Oh yeah i definitively tried that lol
Thank you though! the issue resolves that i was using the sega genesis palette on this
which limited my options on knowing what to use to change the contrast

[Overgrown Tank Diorama]

I am a sucker for hand-painted/illustrative 3D. Good texturing can easily make low-poly assets feel more detailed than they really are. Fantastic job!

[Old design]

I also tend towards simplifying character designs over time. Helps to sort-of "synthesize" their most prominent attributes.

What exactly IS Yoyo anyway?

Lumspark responds:

I can tell you I based her design on dogs, but as for what she is exactly, uhh

Come back to me on that one

[Devilish fellas]

Even the Devil doesn't trust the Devil.
