Trepanum's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zahra, The flower of the desert]

Pretty dope! Everything from shading of her skin to the wavy texture of her hair is real nice.

Only thing I would recommend is that you may wanna look over her scales and alternate ways of going about it. The texture has so much information that it distracts from the overall of the character and must've taken you a long time!

Looking forward to seeing more, good work!

[The Wrong Book]

Hey, that's pretty well thought out! Nice one

MaxDidIt responds:

Thank you!

[landscape sketch]

Haha, every time I come on here, see something and go: "Oooh, that's pretty rad" its made by you, you absolute wonder machine

Eurns responds:

hahaha thanks! yeah I try my best, I do feel like my art is a bit different from most stuff on here :p

[nun of that]

Truly a Holy Warrior. Where ever does she keep her bible, though?

BootScoot responds:

Like any nun worth her salt she's memorized the whole thing word for word and can recall any given passage

[Bird chickadee]

That's pretty neat, good job!

The secondary lightsources/bounce light of red and green really make it pop and you seem to have achieved fantastic texture with decent brush economy. Good stuff!

[Soft]

Hayy, Moriondo is always chill to listen to.

This is super well done, with the tone and colour of the skin and shirt. I wish you'd have painted the hair in clumps rather than so many individual strands but it still works. :)

mrFROST27 responds:

Thanks, I'm not really experienced with doing realism and I REALLY struggled to do the hair and make it look right, so thanks for the advice aha

[My lioness Ketzuri~]

Very clean and appealing artwork, looking forward to seeing more.

[GHASTULE THE GRAVEKEEPER]

Scary man has a mouth up top and down below

[Cacklespine - Commission]

Wicked sick, man!

Just a small improvement I'd like to see is some framing, it could just be a differently coloured smudge or whatever but it would certainly make the characters pop.

Rendering and sketching wise you got some decent skill going on. There's a few things I think you'd be better off working on:

-Conveying material: A lot of it except the hair seems like its made of the same stuff. Look at some references and try to get some small details in there.
-Defining a lightsource: Even though this is more of a pin-up/presentation piece, you still gotta decide on a proper lightsource. Sure, some have shadow, but a lot of the shadows contradict one another and others should be in complete shade.
-Don't get caught up in too much detail: Biggest offender is the hair. That stuff dont need every individual strand shown, maybe some studies would help?

Overall man, you got the tools to move forward. Looking forward to see more.
