Neophyte-Ronin's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Imperfect but Intriguing

Bestow upon me magics
Wizard, all knowing, all wise!

But seriously, it's crude and misshapen, but unintended to be perfect. It looks like a video game, and could very well become concept art for one!

Reminiscent of Role-Play Adventure Characters

Not much to this piece--the background is essentially vapid and nowhere near the point of the piece--although she certainly is striking. Through your style, she resembles a character for a modern, thematic role-play adventure. In fact, she reminds me of Laguna Loire (from Final Fantasy VIII) through her attire, sans the tools and lack of machine gun.

I bet you get accolades like this all the time.

[Asaroki]

An Old Concept Piece, Huh?

The hands and feet, particularly the nails and bones, are well pronounced. However, the face is buried underneath hair and a hand. Clearly, there is greater emphasis on his extremities and overall physique than with his chief source of emotional expression. This was probably done well before you had the idea behind those black tattoos for his eyes. His right hand (the one on the ground) looks severely distorted, to tell the truth.

It's difficult to get a full perspective on the wings; I doubt there was a large enough piece of paper for your chosen level of detail, combined with the emphasis on the figure itself. Asaroki's pained kneel is the center of attention, although the wings behind him are just as important to his story as the rest of him.

There is a heavy load of detail. Clearly, this was done in a time before getting human proportions down pat. However, the detail is intricate enough for most people to overlook this.

If you ever wanted to redo Asaroki in pencils, consider an image or pose that clearly details his extremities. This suggestion includes wingspan, so you can't put too much detail in the figure as it will have to be smaller on the paper. I'd try going for a canvas and painting him, if possible.

Overall: decent work. Keep it up.
