theguestquester's art Reviews on Newgrounds

i almost did not notice this one on the arts page because most other work's thumbnails grab the attention much easier, but if you take a closer look at this one then you realise how good it actually is. cool to see something different.

ShalevZohar responds:

Yeah you're right, I thought the new thumbnail size would let me get away with showing more of the drawing but it kills the texture, so I zoomed in a bit. I'm trying to build a special style as someone who never had one and maybe for future games so I'm glad you liked my experiment

[Goodfella]

man just how can i get this oil painting look done in PS? >_>

shrimpyscallionz responds:

Photoshop can be very good for stuff like this if you have some good brushes and stuff. I remember getting these brushes from Daniel Peacock’s gumroad tutorial for a painting he did, but from what I understand it is part of max verehin’s brush set. If you have a few bucks to spare then it’s a very good investment. https://gumroad.com/l/eoqC

colour dynamics relating to value? would you mind educating me bit on this? not really that much..just so that i can relate as to how this might help me get better with colours. maybe i have to make studies like this too to improve.
btw great work! looks a bit like an oil painting

shrimpyscallionz responds:

Color dynamics relating to value as in effectively choosing the hue, saturation, temperature of a color based on the value that it is used on. For example, if the general color scheme of my painting is a warm color like orange for this one, then I would increase the saturation as the value gets darker. I could also bump the color towards an even warmer color like red instead of just changing the saturation. This is effective in conveying color in the lighting and preventing the image from looking drab. I would recommend playing around with blending different colors together using something simple like a color wheel to know which colors go together. There’s really cool stuff you can do with temperature and hues to get interesting shading colors. I wouldn’t take myself too seriously though, as I’m not the expert on this. This is most of what I’ve learned so far. I agree that making studies is extremely useful, as you can do things like switch up the color temperature to challenge your knowledge on color theory by only basing your colors off of the reference’s values. Anyway, thanks for the compliment and I wish you good luck on your art related endeavors

nice one!

DylanRFagan2099 responds:

Thank you! :D

[Darklight Angel]

good stuff! like the reflection and yes orange mixes well with your palette. i think you can mix almost everything..just gotta watch the saturation and amount of area you cover with it. that is just what i am thinking right now thou...i could be wrong and change my opinion.
i can imagine adding a bit more stuff to the sky would make the backround more interesting...but only if you have the time for it xD

CowFz responds:

Thanks man! and yea Ill keep in mind not to over saturate everything and hurt peoples eyes lol, Trying to also add in more things going on in the sky and ill see where that goes :D

[Umi, the moon goddess]

i would really struggle getting lines line up in such a sexy manner ...how do you do it? =_=

themefinland responds:

If I looked at my own work and wanted to replicate the details, I'd be at a loss as well! It's all about starting simple and making a good foundation and then the small stuff comes naturally :)

[I am back guys. First painting after months]

welcome back! very cool dark themed painting with very nice brushstrokes in the BG. what medium did you use to make it?

xpdatabase11 responds:

Used Krita and the brush i was using was a brush with blending.

[Chocoskin Devil]

CowFz responds:

Thanks man! Im still working on it, plan on sharing parts of it it once im satisfied with it.. also im not sure how I would share it on newgrounds without flooding the board lol so theres that.

[Under the Violet Moon]

great landscape! where do you live to get the inspiration to make those nice sceneries?

moonroot responds:

Thank you! I live in Czech Republic, but everything I do comes straight from my mind, I don't paint the real places usually. :)
