DioShiba's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mobile Game Dudes! (Old)]

The CRT filter is a nice addition to the overall piece. Although even without it I’d say that it stands up well on its own.

Awesome work.

[No Weakness~]

There's a lot of stuff that's effective about this pixel art in general. Hell if anything you practically took the medium and made it your own (how you used the filters, how you did the shading, etc.)

This is insanely clear in every piece you've done and it's no surprise that you did make user of the day. It's well earned and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

[Game Night]

This is just awesome

[Doomer]

Honestly this is a dope art style.

Was this done digitally or traditionally? Or both? It kind of gives me the feeling that this was done on pen and paper. Either way I dig it.

for 9 out outta 10 of my art pieces, the rough sketch is done in pen & paper, just to get the idea down, this one is actually the 1/10 that's actually done completely digital lol, glad you enjoy it!

Rat Fink are you here somewhere?

I'm getting some small Rat Fink vibes here

Actually I'm not going to lie, between this and Gaz dressing in Mandy's clothes actually is kind of a interesting idea.

I'd be lying if I wasn't inspired by it per say but between obligations and other projects I'm not sure if I'd get to it.

It’s good for you to feel inspired

Now this is pure badass! Awesome work my guy!

[Cutscene Sprite: Drakormire (Dave) - updated]

While I love the detail that went into the body and I think that potentially makes it strong. However what ends up being a huge detractor for this piece is the anti-aliasing that's used on the outlines for your character mainly because against the background it distracts more than it adds anything to keep the viewer engaged with the piece. If the pixels used in the anti-aliasing were in a light background or if it was adjusted with some level of transparency to work with the background then it might actually do it a favor in this case.

I do like this. At the same time with the problem I have with it is keeping me from giving this a full five stars.

Yavooti responds:

Thanks for your feedback.
I see what you mean. I'll likely change the shade of anti-aliasing when I've him into my Super Mario World Rom hack. but I also will think about this issue when posting anti-aliased pixel art in the future.
