Skaalk's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Marko, the wanderer]

Incredible detail on something, pardon my French, messy drawn. Reminds me a lot of the Souls games and that is why I'll spend the rest of the night just staring at this until my back gives out.

Ccrawler responds:

Thanks dude!

It is HEAVILY inspired on Dark Souls; I became a fanatic of that game recently, and all thanks to this site: Some users from here commented on the fact that some of my creatures reminded them the ones of Bloodborne and DS, so I bought DS and LOVED it.

I was already a fan of that art style since Vagrant Story, but playing DS was a refreshing update, and ignited some dormant fire in me. So yeah, expect more like this on the future :D

[Oath of Dagon]

This is what I've needed in my life for a while, the music, the art, the tentacles dripping from my ear holes to strangle me. It's all there.

Ccrawler responds:

Glad to know that man! We are putting a lot of effort and soul into this project, so your words are really appreciated!

If you want, you can join the newsletter on the site to get some exclusive stuff and regular updates until the kickstarter campaign starts!

[Fear]

Holy shit, now I am unsure about my chances. Really awesome detail, the fingers could use a tiny little bit more but honestly that is just knit picking and it's great as is.

lilyhosegood responds:

haha thanks. Yeah the fingers could use more work but I was working well into the night and I was beginning to die from, hand cramping, headache, back pain and the general feeling that I was going sleep deprived insane xD so I called it done there, but they do need more work and that little finger on the left needs the nail tweaked a bit.. but yeah thanks yo ;)

[Babydolls Closet of fear and lose]

Hey man, I love the line work you've got going on here, just one problem I have with it, and it may even be nothing but, she's not pointing her gun towards her step-dad, she's kind of pointing over his shoulder.

XavierStarr responds:

Yeah I had her pointing it straight at the gap in the door at the viewer, as past the door is so dark she cannot see where he is hiding.

[Totoro the Boxer]

Don't know why Tortoro would be boxing but it looks so awesome. Love it. Especially all the little details like the hairs and marks on the gloves.

Demp responds:

I know kinda silly the idea but was fun to paint and that's all that matters :p

[Tetsuo]

Great piece you got yerself right here, awesome use of negative space. Glad to see it made to the front page, you deserve it!

Demp responds:

Thanks man, didn't know that this piece made it to the front page until read your message :p

[Going down?]

Man I really love this, awesome colours and the shapes and tiny details, it kind of looks like a really well drawn character design for Samurai Jack.

Laseranders responds:

Thank you! I haven't watched Samurai Jack, but I like that style and I think I've probably collected some inspiration from similar stuff over the years.

[girl in livingroom]

Hey nice, it already looks way more improved with a bit of anatomical correctness. What program are you using to make these? Because now you just need to smooth and blend the different shades together and you'll get that ultra realistic stuff going on, unless you want to keep it as is in which, keep at it.

min3ralWater responds:

Thank you! I was trying to make it look like watercolours or oil mabye, so I left the strokes very clear here and there. I'm using a programming called krita and I'm still learning, so I'm just experimenting with different brushes for now. I'll try to make it more "ultra realistic" next time. Anyways, I'm glad you liked it!

[Vaga]

Holy shit I love Takehiko Inoue, and this really reflects his style a lot. Makes me want to go read Vagabond again.

LemKuuja responds:

Yeah, he's incredible. This man is just... I DON'T HAVE A WORD FOR IT! XD
He's the one that really pushed me to start using brush pens, (as well as Scott Robertson lol).
