Brushtale's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Year of the Tiger]

What a cute and breathtaking piece! The art looks so clean and official, and the background provides the perfect ambiance. The Tiger Who Makes A Very Good Hat can live rent-free in my heart. Awesome job!

aww thank you so much ^^

[Year of the Tiger]

Sublime tiger content. I'm loving that big plushy tiger paw, and the amazing poses for both character and cat. They fit in so well, so casually. The leaf-shadow effect over everything is just the cherry on top. Awesome piece!

Lyonface responds:

Thank you so much!

[[Ratchet and Clank] Rivet]

So cute! I love the thick ink lines, and the color looks so consistent? You followed Rivet's art style really well, too! Super impressed with this traditional piece!

ClmPaper responds:

Thanks! The colour looking consistent is one of the properties of alcohol markers, i.e. copics, winsor&newtons promarkers, ohuhu etc.

[Kyonshi Ani]

It's such a simple little piece, but I'm really digging it! The face is so mischievous but so calm, and the eyes are beautifully drawn. The hair has a great loft to it, and the locks all part at natural points. What bits I can see of the neck and shoulders (and that hand) look perfect, too! Highkey want to boop the snoot, even though I'm sure its inadvisable. Awesome job here!

Anonimatto responds:

im very glad you like it! Thank you very much!
I wouldn't recommend bopping him, you probably get bitten haha

[Nal and Elric]

Phenomenal piece! The characters are beautifully drawn and they feel totally natural and in motion. The trees, sky, and snow, all have some masterful brushstrokes and soft textures. The pines especially look so simple up close, but they trick the eye perfectly. Lastly, I adore the color palette. The sky has that perfect pre-dawn or late evening hue that adds just enough warmth to the piece, before it gets sandwiched out by cool-gray trees and clouds. Everywhere I look, there's more to love here. Incredible job!

HornyOni responds:

Omg, thank you so much for such feedback!! I'm happy to hear that~

[The Wilderness]

Ooh, nice! I'm loving those scrubby grass textures? The paint strokes work so well for the greenery, and they contrast great with the smoother dirt and stone. In fact, I love the textures you used so much that I'd love to see more texture added to the clouds? The hard shading stands out a bit on them, and I feel like some of the softer brush strokes in the picture would look phenomenal there! Overall, great job!

Queenhomestuck34 responds:

Ah, thank you! :D

[Space Groove Lux]

Gorgeous! I'm especially loving all the little details here, like the stardust texture on the blue of the clothes, and the flow of the hair. You filled the canvas space super well, too! There's no wasted corner in this piece. Awesome job!

Ortani responds:

Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you like it :D

[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!

Polychloras responds:

Thanks!

[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!

Jun-Kou responds:

thank you so much!!! it means a lot to me when there's such eye to detail and composition :)c

[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!

Orlek-sketch responds:

Thank you so much!! ^^
