I am so happy someone picked Beebo for once.

PegasuTV responds:

Glad you like it, I knew the old school Newgroundsers would appreciate.

Love the atmosphere of this one. The beast could be a tad darker but thats just nitpicking. Even though overall its a fairly simple piece when you really stop to look at it, it still has just enough detail that it fools the eye into seeing a much more elaborate piece. But again, its the air quality and atmosphere that really send this one home.

Amaruuk responds:

Thank you!

Much stronger than the rest of your work. The color, the composition, the subject matter, everything is infinitley stronger in this piece than the others. The line work is free flowing but deliberate, and the line weights are actually properly done despite being sketchy in nature. The coloring is where this really stands out, the nice uniform complimentary dusk pallet works excellently for this piece.

qweeirdo responds:

Thank you for the fleshed out critique!

First one is by far the strongest

Peabody library much?

The second is alright, the water fall makes the composition, but feels slightly pasted on and out of place at the same time.

The 3rd reminds me too much of one of those early 90s CG animations filled with flatly texturized objects and surface.

radiodark responds:

i wanted to make an awesome room, and the peabody library kept coming to mind. can't imagine why.

Not impressed

Taking a rather poor drawing and then photographing it poorly to make it look a bit better through color and arbitrarily cast shadows doesnt convice me that you have any actual artistic skills.

All it says is that you are a miserable photographer and need desperate help with photographing your work.

Poor photo quality aside the drawing is weak, appears to have taken 15 minutes, does nothing to show that you understand line weight (crucial for such a linear drawing) and having the imprint of notes taken on the pages preceding it is just downright sloppy.

GobyGuitar responds:

hhhhh man chill out...
did i kill one of your family members by mistake or smthn ??
i mean this thing was meant to be simple i drew it in the class ...and took the photo with my 1.3 mp phone camera , its not like i have a 9023mp camera hidden in my pocket lol ....
[and btw i ddnt color it or add shadows on the PC thats the photo as it is]
i checked ur profile and am just gonna take a guess and say u have been drawing for a long time and its more than a hoppy for u ,,but did u start drawing frkn angels out of the sudden o.O''
every one starts some where ...
but thx 4 the comment any way

Weakest of your animals.

This one seems much more binary as far as the shading goes, and by that i mean two toned. The picture is either black or white, and this flattens it out. Also the crispness that the others thrived on this lacks which makes the charcoal handeling seem sloppy and lack of a definite focal point makes the viewer lose their attention faster.

On the plus side the composition of this one is much stronger, with more intelligently placed subject rather than the typical horseshoe or dead center format that so many other pictures rely upon.

MoriChax responds:

Yeah I got a little lazy with the charcoal on this one, furs a beach.
But thank you for your critique. Im always happier when I get one thats constructive, I wish more people would do it.

This thing is my new motivational poster

makes me so happy and awesome.

SirReginald responds:

It's meant to inspire

A bit too white

I love white, and white on white drawings always have a soft spot with me, but this one is too light. The details aren't intricate enough to warrant the effort put into seeing the actual image. The shapes are too broad and large and make it difficult to really distinguish anything worth while. The paleness of the colors doesn't help either because they don't seem to make any actual sense. Even if they were saturated. I think working with more muted, not just lightened colors would lend itself better to an ephemeral piece. Good effort though trying something that most are afraid to do.

J-qb responds:

Thanks. I agree with all your points. A lot of this was just practicing new stuff, like you said doing stuff others might be afraid to do. I sacrificed some esthetics in sake of the techniques etc. Thanks for the thought out review!.
