Raza's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Buffalo Bell]

You got an interesting blurred 'cell' effect on the lines, what did you use to do that?

(Explanation of rating: Drawing is very good, background fits, colors are good and fitting, minus half a star for framing)

[Pokemon Hex]

Nice line, very cartoony! I feel the color between the background and foreground could be a little more separated if you were curious about the missing star, but overall the linework etc. is bangin. Especially the hyperbolic flowing expressions.

G3no responds:

thank you! and thanks for the critique, i see exactly what you mean

I think

I think you should spend less time thinking about having sex with animals.

You're a really talented artist but this is just sick.

Girls bodies with dog-heads? Its like something out of a nightmare. I'm sorry for this, but it honest.

You're 19, it times to grow up. Sorry to be so harsh cause I really like your art and have nothing against you I'm proud of your talent and I wish you all the best in the world. But seriously.

[Chrysanthemum Ink]

Never Give Away the Flaws

I loved this as a piece until you told me about her fat arms. lol I never would have judged it if you hadn't have said anything. XD It was nice on its own. By the measure with which you judge you shall be judged lol XD I'm teasing though its a very nice piece I like both the silhouette and the hyperbole of this piece, nice drawing!

- 1 for fat arms. XD

[Monster]

God drawing.

As awfully gruesome as it is this is a LOT better in form and foundation than the last drawing I saw, great stuff! Too bad its so horrific! XD Personal taste but I'm more of a tTinkerbell and lovely fauns type of guy XD

One critique: Be careful of uniform shading! You almost commit it here. Especially when black and white, you can make a finished piece unfocused on an other wise great drawing!

[Hells Hitman]

Nice style

It seems like you were heavily influenced by spawn or 'the darkness' comics around that era. Cause your style is very close to Capullo's. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but hey, you even named him Hell's Hitman XD

I know I seem mean only giving yah a seven but while this is really well rendered (all that fancy shading and stuff) the actual pose and silhouette is quite stiff, this is partly because of the wrong proportions on the main figure but I noticed he also has stiff and un-articulated hands. This tells me that the under-drawing is not so solid as all that flashy stuff would make it appear at first.

This is great presentation but if you stare at the drawing longer than a second it falls apart, is what I am getting at. Try to make yours longer lasting. This is GREAT stuff, rendering wise, but its very poor artistry at the foundational level. Merge the two together and keep drawing!

SmokeryDots responds:

Thank you for your review, and I respect your statements and your 7.
-I think it's almost been 5 years since I made this, and thrust me, I am working hard on making a better and newer update of this character, & I've tried the last 4 years to make something that can come close to the "style" and "karma" that's represented in this drawing (Just outta respect for one of my first drawings I felt really good about, and got me some attention, at that time).
It may seem like an easy task for you, and it may seem like a small thing since I've gotten a bit better since I made this, but the truth is, this drawing is what got me a reasonable response from the people, so I want to make something special, I want it to kick ass, and at the same time spice it with a little bit of "none-Capullo" :)
I almost think it about every time I draw. It's making me mad :D

I've trashed several drawings of him over the last years, just becourse they weren't awesome enough, and 3 are still hanging on my wall as WIP's... But I'm working on a new one at this moment. I think It'll be here in a week or so, If everything goes as planned:)

Again, thanks :)

And Btw. "you even named him Hell's Hitman".
-Who's called / is an Hells Hitman in anything Capullo has ever done, or in comics in general (likeThe Darkness)?
You're right when you state that it stylewise is a capullo thing, but I find that the fundamental idea is quite original... ?
-Spawn only kills demons and monsters, and he only kills those whor are after him or his family, or wants to take over the world etc.
-The Darkness is sort of a hitman who calls upon minions(in dark), but he's a wuss and kinda like a superhero human with powers who was passed on to him. More like a longhaired elemental figureen...
(I never read that much The Darkness or Witchblade, but Spawn I did)
