Brushtale's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dragon: Lily]

Oh wow, what an incredible Snap! There's honestly an endless bounty of detail to look at here, whether it be in the folds of the apparel, the creases in the skin, or even just the texture of those stony little toes and wings! The outfit bundles up around the body so well, the stars are so bright, the expression is so happy, the pose is really unique... AND THE CHUBBY TAIL! Gah, I'm never gonna run out of things that I love about this piece! Kudos, and keep up the awesome work!

[Doe]

Wow, I really love this piece! Veilspuns have a lot going on in them, but you fit every lock of hair and Diaphanous wing in really well, even with a complex, twisty pose! The expression is honestly adorable, too; it's so plaintive and emotes so well! Literally my only critique would be to clean up all the little crumbs of color that have escaped the lineart, or mask future areas off super well. Even in spite of that, this is amazing! Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks!

[Kasumi Yoshizawa]

Dramatic pose, incredible detail, not a single ruffled sleeve or lock of hair out of place... This is absolutely stunning, and I can't take my eyes off of every little button, lace, filigree, and chain! I could stare at this picture all day! Kudos!

[Saffira, Queen of Dragons]

Beautiful! Saffira looks so swoopy and graceful, and the simple background just works so well. Her design has a ton of details packed in, but they all look perfect here! Thanks for giving a stunning piece to a very neglected and lovely Yu-Gi-Oh! card!

[S. Sae]

Phenomenal job! Shadow Sae is so expressive and emotes marvelously! The hands, hair, and pose are all amazing, and I really like what you did with her eyes! The bright glint of color in those dark, dark lashes just stands out so well, especially with the dark colors on the rest of the piece. Those pointy lil teeth might just be the cherry on top for me.

I also need to give kudos to the balance in this piece; I'd expect most Shadow Sae pieces to be top-heavy with that hat, but you really filled the space on the bottom, and it feels perfectly weighted. No blank spots at all. Basically, thanks for drawing this piece, and keep up the awesome work!

Awesome job! The lines and contours are super clean and you show off the Persona 5 colors with style. The texture overlapping with Joker's coat adds just a cherry on top, for me. It's a cool effect, and I really like what you've done here!

[Tae Takemi]

Super neat! I love the cutout design, and the amount of shading and crinkles you were able to put on her sleeve and hair, even with only flat colors. It's fun to follow the contours and see all the cleverness that make this piece work. Awesome job all around!

[Tae Takemi]

Absolutely lovely atmosphere! The rainy setting and comfy clothes give the whole piece such a good vibe. It's so pleasing to the eye.

*weeps* M'BOI- It's so awesome to see people who remember Pokemon Colosseum, and still draw characters from it today. I adore the cardstock texture and bright white lighting you used. It almost feels like Ken Sugimori's older Pokemon art, which is absolutely on point. Your art is super clean, cool, and faithful, and I'm loving it! Thanks so much for this piece!

[Ren Amamiya]

An easy 5 stars! I love how your art style handles the lighting and various effects in this piece; the blood fading into blue fire, the face of Arsene igniting behind Joker... Also loving the dynamic angle, and how well you filled all the available space here. There's just so much to look at, and it's honestly all so pleasing to the eye. Incredible piece overall!
