Fro's art Reviews on Newgrounds

As it is very beautiful I can see why this wouldn't be allowed to be in the art portal as it's simple a picture with a couple of effects that just involve a button to create. So yes, great art for the userpage, but not something that should be in the art portal obviously. (I was taught that quick by a couple of art mods)

Such a real feeling, but at the same time it's the cartoony feel that makes it look so cool. The color of the eye was by far my favorite part and the dark background almost gives the submission a dark feeling. I can almost imagine someone about to stab this eye. :P

There really isn't much if anything to critique as it's done quite well. Keep up the good work.

It was the highest scoring piece of fine art in the portal until the DD came around, and also fluctuated between highest scoring art portal submission of ALL genres, to 2nd place, 4th place some days, then back to first, down to 2nd, and on and on.
It went up and down, but I got unscouted (everyone did) when the DD pruned everyone. EVERYONE. Were you here for that, do you not read the forums?

All my art is allowed in the portal after I had discussions with ReNaeNae and Captain Ben.
Simple effects? This was all done with a mouse and the Tools in PSCS4. I do not own a tablet. Captain knows I use (in this case, an actual stack of printed pictures) images combined with personal ideas as references to look at and not trace over- you can ask him if you doubt me. I don't appreciate you jumping to conclusions, just like Mindchamber did.
A lot of great artists are still unscouted after the DD attack.
Glad you enjoyed the art, though.

I'm almost lost for words when I look at this simply because my brain can't even comprehend the massive amount of beauty that I'm looking at. I know that I use that word a lot when reviewing your stuff, but this time I really really mean it. (I meant it before as well :P)

The color used, shapes, etc... just the mixture of the thing as a whole is really awesome. Again, it almost looks like the mixture of something that I would see under water, but at the same time in space. Just unexplainable feelings when looking at this.

Thank you!

I love art that draws you in and provokes an emotional response so I am always overjoyed when my art gets that reaction. I'm glad you like it!

Very beautiful in fact. I love the picture itself. The dark background with the lighter colors you used left it up to the imagination of what exactly it could be. Assuming it's an explosion of some sort the first thought that comes to mind would be some sort of special high tech firework that has went off, but the oddest thing about it would be the sky isn't there as there isn't any glow off of what would be the explosion or the colors of the light.

The second thing I think of is some sort of odd creature in the deepest parts of the ocean that man could never visit or get down that far to see with their own eyes. There the glow wouldn't even be apparent because of the total lack of light the darkness would completely cover up any extra light. Could also be something you'd expect to see in space.

On the very extremes (especially the top right hand corner) it reminds me of some pictures that I once took in a graveyard where strings of light and energy were appearing from a nearby gravestone. (Ghost/Supernat. Club needs to be bumped ;) sometime)

So like I said, very beautiful. Leaves a lot for the person to decide for themselves and just looks awesome all around.

EchoRun responds:

I'm glad you liked the 'ghostly' aspect of this, that is one of the thing I have found beautiful in this one, combined with the firework look.

Thank you. :)

I really like the outcome of this piece of art. The color of red used was awesome and the other colors mix well to really show of the red, but at the same time mix into the red. It gives it the effect of not actually noticing the rose right away, but when your eyes focus you can see it very clear.

The white that you used on top of the picture and on the bottom left of the picture are alright, but it makes the picture a little bit unbalanced again as there is very little on the bottom right hand corner. I think it could have looked a tad bit better without the white there at all or just a tad bit balanced like I mentioned.

Ah, abstract art... the thing that I tend not to be able to tell what it means or what it is. Such as I would have never guessed this was a candle if it wasn't for the title of this submission.

I guess because I'm not a big fan of abstract art that I think the flame should be moved over to the left just a tad bit to make it more centered. Not saying to get rid of the wave in it though as that does make it look pretty cool, but just to balance the picture out a tad bit.

I would have liked to see just a bit more of the shades of red in the black that you had in the upper part of the picture to really bring out the black. The mixture of green and black looked rather good though. When the green and black were smudged together I took it as taking the good times with the bad times and realizing that something good will probably come from the bad.

This is done very well indeed. Great color, pretty good detail, etc.. I rather enjoyed the colors that you used in this submission and loved that you actually put things like fish in the background.

I think it could have used more more thing in the background. Perhaps some wildlife on the ocean floor there on the middle/left side of the picture or something like an old sunken anchor. Maybe even something like an old sunken boat or ship in the background as well.

Thank you.

Everyone seems to be agreeing on the same few problems, so I'll definitely work on those.

I know I figured out that you must be an alt account a long time ago, but god more and more that I see your stuff and your posts it makes me think of it even more. O.o

It's a good idea for a drawing, but not done very well at all. First off the white background could probably stay as it is, but it might be nice to have something more detailed in the background. Let's say the white background works good though and we'll move on to some other things.

Drawings weren't done very well. I can tell that they are getting older as they go, but they just aren't drawn well. Perhaps you could have used a base picture for the head, something that's shaped like an actual human head, and then went off from there. It's a start, I don't think it would really make it much better, but it couldn't hurt.

you know i am not a alt why did you think so?

[Modern Day Man]

~ Review Request Club ~

In my opinion the drawing itself needs a bit of work, but enjoyed the colors used. The modern day man makes me think of some fat kid who's no taller than 5 foot, wearing a t-shirt with something on it that's only being worn because he thinks it's going to make him cool with pants that hang around his knees. (Imagines it now, Yeah that's what most modern day men look like)

The picture that is shown before me though is more of a mix of a person who has a social life outside of the internet, but still uses the computer to do most of his thinking for him, which would be a much lesser population in the world than the computer nerd that I had explained before.

Anyway, like I said the picture itself needs a bit of work quality wise. The color used for the fog was good, but it needs some blurred effects so it doesn't look like a solid wall.

I see the point, but I don't think it was carried out very well. I know you want people to see it for themselves, but I think it isn't obvious enough. Perhaps making it a little bit more obvious, but not too much to make it stick out too much could make this better in my opinion.

I also see that you are trying to make this like it's in the sky, but I think that could have been shown a tad bit better with different color usage. More colors that you would see when you look up into a sky in the morning when the sun is first coming out. Sorry I didn't enjoy your piece that much.

Yes. You are right.

[The Beast:Final Cut]

I really don't think I could give this anything other than a 10 out of 10. I personally can't find anything wrong with it and it just really looks good all around. I don't spend a lot of time on the art portal, but your piece is around the top in terms of quality that I have seen on the site so far.

Amazing details all around. This is just me trying to find something wrong with it so I can at least try and critique your picture. The red color of the eyes might be a tad bit too bright compared to the rest of the colors that you used in the submission. Other than that picture perfect.
