Alegroth's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Max Level Mario]

Super sayian Mario? Awesome! Love the colors in the image, very crisp but I also love the idea behind it. Sort of sticks true to the original artwork of the old games but with a new flare. Nice design, can't really fault it :)

Best regards,

[LvL Cap Contest | Dr. Stein | Soul Eater]

Based on stated time spent, although I don't know the character, I love the drawing! I saw the "wip" animation first and then the final piece. Sure, it leaves much to be desired in terms of detail but the overal image is there and presents a menecing looking charecter in a nice pose and with a lot of image depth. Love the scythe as well, really cool. Rating 4/5 because not quite done?

Best regards,

MasterofSuicide responds:

Glad to hear that I am not the only one who is happy with how it turned out :D
Thanks for the feedback Alegroth^^

[LEVEL CAP OLAF]

Absolutely badass! Love the arms and the crystal collar. Shading, magic etc. also looks nice. Would have given a higher rating if shadows had been more consistent. However, you've chosen a difficult motif and still made it look very good. Keep it up!

Thank a lot for the feedback! Appreciate it :)

[Yoshi ate all the mushrooms]

Hahaha, amazing scenery and depiction of Yoshi as a big, badass, dino! Love the screaming, fleeing charecters and the artstyle reminisent of the early games. Wish the background had some clouds to match the color of the foreground but otherwise a very cool image.

Best regards,

carlmentz responds:

Thanks alot mate! Kinda rushed it when it came to coloring it so shading and stuff was abit half-hearted, same with the clouds and details etc..

[Toothless the great]

I really like how you captured the essence of toothless in the picture. I could tell that it was him even before reading the description. I really like that you went with the glow and overall the piece is well executed. Perhaps some environemental effects to even out the color saturation (the red tail-piece is a bit too bright red) but overall very nice. Had been given a 5/5 if the scales had followed the shape of the body a bit more. The current placement make the body look a bit flat, but regardless a magnificant piece.

Best regards,

ElliDenSuprere responds:

thank you so much, I can see what you mean and I am glad you liked it (sory for not responding I'm not on newgrounds very often)

[Many Eyes]

Very nice nightmare fuel! :) Love this type of abstract, yet feasible monster art where anatomy seems to fold together with space and time to simply create something out of a madening dream! Well executed also. Would have been a 5 if there had been some more shadow to give the charecter a bit more depth.

Cheers,

[level 99 games]

Great piece! Link fighting spongebob at level 99? Hehe. Overall lighting, anatomy, atmosphere, etc. are all spot on! A really fun and interesting piece with many little details to look at. Cool stuff :) Would have rated 5 out of 5 if there had been a more depth to the image that could have been achieved by a bit less detail of the charecters in the background or the background itself. I'm nitpicking however! Excellent work.

[CoTM LVL99]

I really like the twist in this picture (in the context of the competition) instead of presenting a level 99 version of Ligthning McQueen, doing the Level 1 wooden cart of him. Also fits into the universe as it is not thoroughly explained in the series where "cars" come from. Very nice artework. Rating is based on a mix of novelety and execution where I believe the quality of the car paint, etc. can be improved. For instance, you could add a line following the front fender, across the side of Lightning to the back and place a highlight above it, mirroring a horizon reflection. Thereby adding a bit of gloss to his paint. Regardless, a fun a nice image.

[Mecha Xenomorph]

Interesting depiction, I'd rate it higher if I'd seen more of the xenomorph in the depiction. Although the new Alien movie (Covenent) depicts new species of aliens I can't quite see how this fits. The rendering itself is, regardless, quite nice even though there seem to be some perspective challenges with the head contra the thorso? Overall though I really like the pose and the idea.

MadBoxMan responds:

Hi Emil, thanks for the feedback ^^

This was a submission for a "LVL99" challenge which required the participants to depict a character of their choice in an "evolved/ improved" state. I looked at the xenomorph evolution chain and figured that a "real" final form of this creature would pretty much be a godzilla like kaiju (massive with thick appendages to support its weight) and drawing that didnt seem as appealing to me. So I choose to take the alien design and push it through the human evolution chain. Where the creatures brain develops faster than its body, it starts using tools and equipment to make up for its biological weaknesses(similar to predator). Because lets face it, in most of the alien movies the xenomorph dies to some sort of machinery :D

I do agree that this design and my execution are far from perfect, you can check out a better cut version here(http://fav.me/dbamtox)

[Emily Elizabeth, Beast Master LVL 99 - In Progress]

I'd give this five stars if it was finished. Amazing detail and since I am myself really bad at anatomy I must give your praise for the depiction in your image. Will be interesting to view the final result. The depth and the semi-abstraction of the piece is intreaging and I can't wait to see the final piece as I said.

Best regards,
Dr. Emil Alégroth

CharleeRych responds:

Glad you like it - I posted the finished version now, if you would still like to see. I'm afraid that a lot of the epic quality was lost in my sub-par rendering of the background.
