Ef-X's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Livin' in the city...

Superb use of blur, there's nothing wrong with using it to focus on the important part of the painting as well as enhancing the look of the work. In the description two people are named (I am guessing the one wearing black and the one wearing white) but I noticed you didn't blur (or at least not so much) the person to the right of the white clothed girl, was there a purpose for this? Past the symbolism and purpose of the painting the work itself is great. As I mentioned the blur technique dominates the painting, the lighting I think is the most important part of the work and its what gives this painting the alignment to a warm positive emotion rather than a plain one given by most of the people in the painting. The lighting feels as if the farther you get away from the crowd the better things are. Shadows are minimal but well executed. I wish I could find criticism but I just don't seem to be bugged by anything in this work. Bottom line...I like art that expresses everyday moments :D

God Damn

Talk about quality. The shading is brilliant, it gives that feeling of the old and the new. As for the choice of color it fits the theme and it is not overdone (i.e. usually when i see too much of a color my brain starts to hurt.) Grats on the work, its great. 5/5.

[HAPPY]

:P

Tears of joy and blood. I mean look at the rough shading techniques used to express the hardcore happiness, you know. A sinister 5/5.

Kudos

Creative no doubt. Nice take on the classic comic book design.

absurdistically (if that's a real word) cute

It looks like a Corphish on steroids, lol. But other than that the design is well executed (like the shadow is not all over the place and fake but well detailed and realistic) and the color makes it more lively. The expression is a plus.
