Lord-Kalvo's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Horror Beyond the Door]

I've seen enough hentai...

to know where this is going. lol

(just kidding man, I couldn't resist lol)

Great job tho. this is amazing.

JMDeSantis responds:

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I actually have neglected my Newgrounds account for far too long (especially considering my art seems to be getting even more attention here than on deviantART).

Funny you mention that hentai comic. In a story I don't tell often enough: I was working my first convention (the now defunct Big Apple Con--I had a table in Artist Alley) and a man comes up to me, with a young child at each side, holding their hands. He sees this piece, leans over the table and says:

"Do you have any tentacle p0rn? A friend of mine asked me to pick some up for him."

Looking at the children for a moment, and then back at him, I respond, "No." To which he responds:

"Do you know where I can get any?"

Again, I respond to the negative, and he walks away. I just felt there was something so off about him asking me with two little kids with him.

[WATCH YO MUTHA TRUCKAH MOUTH]

Awesome.

The facial features are my fave, they look really great, especially the glasses, and eyes. The nose and mouth look difficult to pull off, but you nailed it, and you're a cutie pie lol. What I like best about this is that you chose a funny face instead of the standard, "serious-face" that's in all other portraits. Great job.

dreamzmighty responds:

Thank you! I hate the serious faces too. They're easier to draw, but not as fun to learn about. I'm pretty much my only model (I ONCE had another, but FFFF she KEPT MOVING long story) so to do the same face over and over... Well... I've done that enough times. So to try something different. I have another painting I never finished involving MANY faces (all with different facial expressions). But I don't think the public is ready for sh-it-.

[Robot Monkey Empire]

Pro level???

This is a bit beyond that man. Great job!

Artist-Lost responds:

well, I do look to conceptart.org for my view of pro

[The Zodiac Emperor]

This is beautiful.

I love the story you're telling here. Is this the traditional mythology behind the chinese zodiac, or did you tweak the story a little bit? Im an ox, so it'd be cool to think of myself as the "Born leader" haha... Anyway, great work! I'm Faving this!

KartuneHustla responds:

Nope this is pretty much the original story. The Ox is said to be a born leader, but also kind of demanding and materialistic, which is why the ox is wearing such extravagant clothing :)! BUT YOU'RE DETERMINED MY FRIEND!!! :)

[in the Rough]

You've inspired me deeply.

I make collages too! But I've NEVER thought of making one like this... it's a brilliant Idea... I normally just cut pictures out perfectly, and arrange them in surrealistic compositions, which I guess is a pretty standard collage style, but this... It's like a mosaic with magazine clips! I never would've thought of something like this! And you've executed it so well... amazing work! I'm really inspired by this.

Starogre responds:

thanks, i appreciate the very kind review! yeah the assignment was to replicate the image. most people in my class did mosaic style with tiny pieces and i wanted something more loose and texture based, to give it some style, so i used bigger pieces. took a lot of time to find the right pieces at some points but it's manageable. i'm glad it works for you though, thanks for the kind words, and good luck with your collages!

[VERDACOMB Concepts]

super awesome.

Is that a suit for battle, or some kind of sport? (or both? lol) Anyway, this looks like its going to be amazing! Looking forward to this man.

danomano65 responds:
