DreamHollow's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[You're Makin' Her Nervous...]

This is neat.

Kind of dark and depressing with this color scheme. A lot of black, good shine to the leather of the boot and stuff. Looks professional.

NinTheSkeleton responds:

Thanks so much dude!

[thanks anyway!]

Great use of warm colors and tones here.
You did an excellent job of making this bright and cheerful.

jillyam responds:

thank you!

[WRYYYYY—]

I like it but the perspective is a bit too extreme.

This character looks stretched out to the length of a football field.

If that's what you're going for intentionally, that's fine! I just think it's a little too over-the-top.

[Old urSen the Monk]

I'm not familiar with this guy, but I absolutely adore this art.

The lighting, the shading, the detail, it's all magnificent.

It's equal parts alien and fascinating to me.

GearGades responds:

Not knowing much about this character is normal, as the series was quite short lived: originally planned for 3 volumes, was shorten to 2 (Legends of the Dark Crystal: Garthim Wars and Trial by Fire) when Tokyo Pop America announced its shutdown. The 2 volumes came years apart.

The Manga featured 4 new Skeksis and 1 new Mystic that fill the gap about some of the unknown 8 dead Pairs pre-film:

skekVar the first General, skekLach the Collector, skekCru the Mariner and skekEer the Spy-Master, and finally urSen the Monk who was the narrator.

The Manga is no longer canon, but the series overall kept skekVar (his character was really kept unchanged in personality), skekLach (though re-invented from an evil mastermind to sickly-jaded comical relief), the Mariner was kept but reinvented and renamed to skekSa, and skekEer the Spy-Master was removed from the canon, with skekNa been the supposedly Spy-Master before becoming the Slave Master.

urSen still stay as skekLach's counterpart, but we just dunno a thing about him in the new canon.

[SSG Naylen has had enough]

I think what stands out the most to me in this picture is the giant explosion in the background.

That tells a hell of a story.

I'm left with wondering if Naylen lost his hand, or is it just not drawn into the shot?

AkinHyena responds:

Yeah it's definitely showing a really hard fight, that day really tested Naylen's resolve as not only a soldier but as a man. Operation Fideilian Fury was his first major combat tour.

[I'm a ferret!]

I really like this, but the background is maybe just a bit TOO empty.

However, I do really love the white outline that she has around her. Very stylistically pretty!

drake-rex responds:

Yeah, I had no idea what kind of background could work, so I went witha vector and the white outline to give her a sticker type look ^^

[SIx Fanart "Challenge"]

This is really good, but Shantae seems to stand out the most of the characters in the group.

She doesn't look bad, she just stands out a bit stylistically. Most of the characters have smoother, rounded off features in most places but her eyes and hair almost harshly contrast everyone else.

Maybe I'm just nitpicking. Still! I do really like this.

3DylanStar responds:

Appreciate the feedback though, even if that is nitpicking.

[A Weary Hiker]

This is cool. You did a great job with the shadows and the detail of her clothing.

Looking more closely, I can see some of the subtle lighting as well.

Top notch! Giving you high marks on this for your extremely good use of lighting and shadow.

Frobee responds:

Thank you!! <3

[SKULKER]

This is probably some of the best Skulker fanart I've seen.

You've got real talent!

citalopram-overdose responds:

Thanks! I love his design, I just had to make it justice

[my idea of fun is watching you come undone]

Neat style.

I have always had an appreciation for the whole "black and white void" style that gave off vibes of darkness and uncertainty.

Good detail into the clothes, too.

ultrapainkiller responds:

aaaah, that is so nice to hear!!! thank you
