Pingu's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[BEER AND FRIENDS]

Torbjorn, ready to drink! I feel him and Rein have drinking competition all the time, but I can’t decide who the winner would be. Good job on the pixel gif! You have a lot of fun ones.

amenduhh responds:

Hehe I can see it. Thank you for the sweet comment ^.^ I love making pixel gif's it's always fun to animate them.

[Dragonite + Vaporeon = Dragoneon]

Reaching into the wayback machine to 2016’s art to compare it to current art. It’s hard to self evaluate progress when you do anything often, since we’re our own critics. Hopefully you see this and are encouraged.

On its own this piece holds itself well. You have a nice selection of sunset colours in this which complement the colours of the Dragoneon.

If you compare this to one of your more recent works (Another set of busts), its neat to see the two years improvement. There are fewer detains in the highlights and shadows, but again the piece still holds its own.

There’s a lot of good stuff in your portfolio, I figured sum it all up rather than leave a ton of reviews. Keep on keeping on.

Tk-A responds:

Thank you so much for your critiques. Reading these were very encouraging to me. Its really nice to think about how much I've grown as an artist and how much my drawings have changed throughout these two years. I hope you'll keep checking in to see any new drawings, because I will continue to draw and improve my skills. Again, thank you so much for giving feedback!

[Robot Apocalypse]

This looks like something done by H.R. Giger, which is a really cool style to work with. I’m having some difficulty determining the orientation of the robot unfortunately. I can tell his left arm is up, but its hard for me to see enough detsil on the cloak to determine how the upper torso is positioned.

sapoman responds:

H.R. Giger was a god.

[Gecky the Gecko]

That’s a happy looking lizard. With the pencil and Copic in it’s hand it almost seems like a self portrait. Nice colour selection, and good work on the shading!

Geckone responds:

Cheers! You got it quite right. It is kind of self portrait. And I though a gecko would perfectly much my nickname... for some bizarre reasons. I'm glad you like it!

[: Micaiah Fire Emblem]

This is really nice! I like that the focus is on her face, and softens as you move away from the focal point. The colours in this are great as well. Good work!

DidiEsmeralda responds:

Thanks Peregrinus, I'm glad you like it

[Nerf this]

Nice work with portraying D.Va’s carbon fibre skin! There’s a lot of great lighting details in this, and the pose is spot on. Great stuff!

clayscence responds:

thank you very much!

[Adoptable #19]

Cute! These recent submissions definitely have a softer line feel to them. It's an interesting sub-style you have, which is a nice balance to the more detailed works.

Hopefully your hand isn't too bad from all the adoptables you've published. I'm keeping an eye out for one that calls to me.

holikrep responds:

Ahh why thank you ;u; )/ <3 i've been enjoying this style a lot ;; so i'm glad it's interesting! I could probably keep going for a few days but i'll definitely need a break here in a few days sadly ~ ooh I appreciate the consideration then ! Kind of you to say ~

[Fallen leaves]

I wan’t expecting this to be an animated pixel art from the thumbnail. Great work with this, it’s very serene.

AnasAbdin responds:

thanks glad you liked it!

[Adoptable #2 - Extra]

Nya. Nice catgirl! I like the outfit and shading, as well as the shine in her eyes. I’m curious about what’s on her ear, it seems to be a wire connecting two parts together. I’m likely reading too deep into it, but it seems like a hearing device.

holikrep responds:

Thank you very much <3 ;u; happy you think so! S'very kind of ya to say ~ As for what's on her ear it's supposed to be an ear cuff ;; one of the two piece ones connected with a chain but in this case it does look more like a wire ;u; )z I will have to take more consideration into that! I wish I had considered the hearing device aspect ;; might've given her more character

[300]

An older submission, but still great. I’m really liking the end result of the liquid graphite, it’s such an interesting texture in the end result. I didn’t realize how much detail can be seen in a technique I always assumed was for broad application. The colour palette fits in perfectly with the movie’s colour scheme.

Dagoelius73 responds:

Appreciate the kind words mate.
