JimmyDayo's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[shapes and colors]

The little Miku is to die for, OMG.
These are great, awesome use of color with a variety of poses. The Dryad is breaking my heart, I wish she felt like the girls to the right of her, but the contrast is effective for art. They should just hug the Dryad.

Revisited: I've realized that this is basically a showcase of your greatest strengths! Expression, gesture, shading and coloring! I was so distracted by Miku and the Dryad originally that I didn't appreciate how cohesive these images are as a package, showing off what you can do!

PEIGI1045 responds:

thank you! it was inspired by Miku's cheerful nendoroid. one of her faceplates has this really similar ultra happy expressions that I wanted to capture <3

wanting someone to be happy is valid, but letting them process whatever they're feeling is equally important (nerd emoji?)

I think you did very well for not knowing what you were doing! You can probably just copy wet skin for fleshy textures and copy wet fish for scaled textures as references. The mermaid in Monster Musume has a thin layer of mucus all over that isn't visible, as one example of this type of thing.

PEIGI1045 responds:

guess I just need more practice in general. maybe I should go for mermay this year!
speaking of examples.. I still have all of the images I used here, saved for later studies (or it's just an unhealthy attachment to gathered refs, who knows).. and what I find quite funny is that most of them are pictures from various make-up ads with women straight up covered in honey. so every time I'm rummaging through my PureRef file, I think how questionable it probably looks out of context xd

[shell]

The form is accurate to soda tabs, it's just that we almost never see them without the context of being attached to aluminum cans. Because of that, I don't know what you could even do to make it more obvious. I did think it was a zipper at first sight, lol!

The posing is really cute, and I especially like the hair being held in her hand. There's a cute and soft vibe to this whole illustration that I really adore. I like the gloss on the shell, too!

PEIGI1045 responds:

yeah, that's what I thought too. you just fail to recognize it as something other than a regular zipper because an overall shape is so similar (especially since some people actually use soda tabs as DIY zipper replacements xd). I believe I could smooth out edges a little bit to make it more tab-like. additional width could also help..
tbh I just wanted to have something for scale. to show that it is in fact just a regular sized shell on a tiny character (not their canon size, but I was going for a feeling)

[Miss pauling]

Wow I adore the way you do expressions, these are so cute! Super clean, great job!

[Sister of Battle]

She looks so cool. The wind animation is awesome, great style, great pixel lines, great coloring, love it.

C0ffeeGhost responds:

Thank you so much!

[Yōkai X Aliens]

We must secure the balls!
This is awesome, the characters look great in your style. The reflections of the later heroes of the group is a great touch.

I thought the watermark was hit markers for a second. Too much Marvel Rivals...
Sick art though. The sword effect is particularly awesome.

Ellyrieve-LVK responds:

Thank you!! I wonder what font Marvel Rivals uses?

Some of my watermarks use Adversary from Blambot which is one of the mian sources that comic letterer's use. This one's the open font "Outfit".

There's a chance Rivals could be inspired by/ be using the same fonts.

[OFF]

Sick art! I dig the style. I can't wait to play the game again.

JoeDoodles responds:

thank u!! :D

[Thicc robo legs in latex]

I'm not usually into this level of thickness in proportions, but you really rock the shape! I bow to your skills.

[PNG-tuber commission]

The scales look great! Eye-catching and pretty without being garish. The ice cubes are a subtle presence, but they look satisfyingly glossy when inspected closely.
A salute for the wrist that suffered for the details on this one 🫡
