EpikHellSword's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Legend Of Jackson]

This is really dope man. It has such a simple background, yet the way Michael's body is fading in is like him fading into the light. Excellent lighting and shadows. The body position is iconic, the facial expression just screams his persona, and the negative colors are so cool!

[Passionate Kiss]

Superb character and background design. Absolutely perfect lighting and shadows. Meticulous attention to line density and clothing wrinkles. Appeasing facial expression, and extraordinary angle.

[RESIDENT EVIL 3]

Perfect balance for lighting, shadows, and the raindrops pouring. Speaking of the rain Jill being out in the dark with the pouring raindrops is fitting for the atmosphere. Love the dark background design reflecting Jill's fears as well as Jill's facial expression, especially with her mouth shut showing teeth. Not to mention Jill's eyes are probably my favorite part of this picture. She looks so alive with them so wide and with so much light exuding from them. And her holding a shotgun while Nemesis is behind her is very fitting as this is Resident Evil. Nemieis look accurate with the tubes and holes exposing his flesh. Flawless work.

[Wen u crowdsruf at dubstep concert nd sum doushbag ponch u in ball]

First of all, that wavy effect is REALLY well done, super realistic. The vertical angle of this with the black bars makes it more like a phone's screenshot. The character has a complementary balance of the amount of shadows and lighting exuding from her. And the position of her body really corresponds with her facial expression. Speaking of, her facial expression represents clear emotion of disgust. Absolutely perfect. By the way, Eminem's been joking about fucked up shit since the beginning of his career so I'm shocked that you seem so surprised about that.

[The last of us 2]

Same as last time: Perfect character and background design, well detailed shadows and lighting. Outstanding balance with the hair proportions. I love the light in her eyes. It's rather intriguing how she doesn't have as much eye shadow in this one compared to the GIF version. She looks so hot older as it's obvious her body is more well developed and her being bruised just makes her look so much more badass like she's some kinda veteran at fighting now. Lastly, but most obviously "The Last of Us 2" title sudden appearance is well done. Again, perfect work. This one's going into favorites.

[Color steps : Ellie]

Perfect character and background design, well detailed shadows and lighting. Outstanding balance with the hair proportions. I love the light in her eyes. She looks so hot older and her being bruised just makes her look so much more badass. And obviously "The Last of Us 2" title sudden appearance is well done. If this wasn't a GIF, I would definitely favorite it.

[The Henry Stickmin Collection]

Bro, you've been a super huge part of my childhood since I was like 7. I'm 17 now about to be 18. Henry Stickmin and your series is legendary. Simple, but beautiful background and character designs, solid facial expressions, good shadows and lighting. Although she has had the least amount of screen time so far in the series. Ellie's my favorite character. She's down to earth, funny, has a really chill voice, and has piqued my curiosity (since she's so new).

[Annie Leonhart Commissions]

I love how the design looks just like the original. Perfect character and background design as well as facial expressions and actions. The lines in the sky are really well proportioned. And is that sweat on the Female Titan's head or part of the art style? Those potatoes are a pretty cool reference to that potato girl (if it is). Who are the people in between the her hands though? I read a couple chapter snippets from your story. I think I'll look into your fanfiction.

[Witchy Woman]

This is really beautiful. Her facial expression, eyes, and the angle her body is presented at suggests she may be sad or depressed about something. This conclusion is supported by the look in her eyes and that frown on her lip. The lighting and the shadows balancing how much we see of her face and body further supports my conclusion. Her clothes look somewhat comforting, like the fur could be hugging and hiding her frim simething or someone, and the black shirt really brings the gothic vibe to life. Everything is extremely detailed, especially the dark and gloomy background behind her matching my perspective. I love how this shows vulnerability within the whole painting.

[Random hero team]

That is such a simple, but absolute perfect background. The characters look very accurate and also I assume in your own style as well? Domino's design is my favorite. I just love how you did her eyes and the lighting on her hair. What's the Spiderman bubble for? You did a perfect job.
