Bigfoot3290's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Landscape]

Excellent, dynamic landscape painting. The brightness of the snow at the foot of the background mountains and the muted color scheme of the same range in the reflection of the lake are particularly well done.

[Landscape]

Heck of a job, especially for a "2-3 hour practice" session. Love the color contrast and the misty mountain view. Ethereal, light, and dreamlike. Well done!

Now I want some Italian rainbow cookies.... Eye-catching geometric shapes and color palette. Dreamlike and whimsical. Great work!

[Fantasy Landscape]

Very nice. A great piece to go hunting in for the small details. Love the "fisheye" lens effect you created with the slight curvature of the foothills and cliffs.

[field]

Nice composition. I especially like the color gradient from background to foreground.

Thank you :)

[Autumn]

Exquisite. The highlight and shadow work is top notch.

Luciaea responds:

Thank you:)

[Bird taking a breather]

What a fantastic painting. The warm sun rays reflecting off of the leaf and tawny feathers are particularly stunning. I've never used gouache either, and this is inspiring me to give it a go one day. Great work.

DrewJohnson responds:

You should try it! I was very pleased with the handling. I dries fast, faster than acrylics, but it's initial block-in is like watercolors. I'm taking this outdoors the first chance I get.

[Leather Jack]

Very well done. The texture adds an extra bit of grittiness to the leather look.

[Zerg Hydralisk]

Exceptional. The Hydralisk has always been my favorite Zerg unit. Like the Grim Reaper incarnate. The color palette is particularly nice here.

[Starcraft]

There are many things to like about this shot. I love the background. The hard and soft lighting effects are very well done, and the cylindrical shape of the sewer tunnel, Xel'Naga temple, Battle Cruiser fuselage, or what ever war-torn structure it is, is a nice offset to Kerrigan's jagged blades. I also enjoyed some of the creative liberties taken on the design of Kerrigan and her "pet." At first, I thought this was a classic Kerrigan/pet Zergling shot, but that Zergling is missing a set of claws and has more of a Hydralisk/Lurker headpiece. I like that, as either way, it is unequivocally Zerg, and perhaps a mutation we haven't seen before. Kerrigan herself is interesting, as she actually looks fairly vulnerable in this posture, almost as if she's just heard something and is beckoning her Zergling to halt. The skulls in the foreground also caught my eye, as they almost appear to be melting through the misty haze. This gives me the impression of a Diablo or DOOM-style hellish scene despite the cold blue tones, as if the skulls themselves were still experiencing anguish. Great rendition!
