DioShiba's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Głitçh grūñt]

To be fair... this is probably the best one on your gallery so far.

However, there isn't really much effort between this and your other pieces. In fact they come off like NFT's and that's where I would encourage you to deviate and do things that aren't reskins of one sprite with a fancy ass background.

MadnessShapedChocos responds:

Wow, nfts, I didn’t think abt that 😭 I will try to vary, tbh this isn’t my main “social” so I don’t put “as much” effort in as the rest. If u have any other ideas in ways I can improve I would be happy to take suggestions 🤗

[Happy Pride Month]

This is a pretty strong piece you got all things considered.

Its not perfect but for what it is with the pixel art I'd say maybe explore in that area a bit more.

JunesBlueNow responds:

Thanks for the advice!

[Vaporwave Icon]

I didn't even know Google Drawings was a thing...

Is it a tablet tool or can I work with it off a desktop? Curious.

PoppyTheMerpasaur responds:

It's web based only unfortunately, I tried finding a desktop client and mobile version myself :(
It's a little bit of a learning curve due to its simplicity, but it's that very same simplicity that makes it my #1 tool!

[THE EMPTY MAN (2020) - alternative DVD cover]

Do more stuff like this.

No seriously I think you may have found a niche that can work for you here.

jaywhangdoesstuff responds:

Thank you for noticing this!

[Hisoka - 2020]

Do I think Hisoka is am interesting character? Yes.

Not my favorite character from HxH that goes to Killua but Hisoka is interesting nonetheless.

Damare-Draws responds:

absolutely! he is weird but interesting!

[Hour of the Wolf]

You're the same guy who made that one hell of an awesome majora's mask piece with this palette if I'm not mistaken?

Either way I'm a fan of your work. Following you because honestly it's a pleasure seeing your stuff whether it's on here or twitter.

PostmodernOuroboros responds:

Yes! I am, and thank you for taking the time to say to share that, i really appreciate it :)

[Guns are not toys!]

Not bad, in fact I like where you went with the blood.

The thing that bugs me is the shading under the hair on the head, particularly to her left side of the head where the shading is going above the hair and not simply under it (if that makes any sense) and how the hands are holding the gun. I get hands are hard to draw but I would have used some references to pull this one off if you ask me.

But, regardless it's still pretty good in certain regards and I think that over time you'll be able to master your craft to the next level, but you got to be mindful of how you go about shading your work because I think that's your biggest challenge right now.

aapiarts responds:

True. I should practice shading more.

[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.

MatthewLopz responds:

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!

[Mandy Dressed as Gaz Membrane]

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.

SolidSnakeOnAPlane responds:

It’s good for you to feel inspired

[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.
