Sectus's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Self protrait]

Beautifully done, I must admit. My favorite aspect of this piece is the golden color that the girl takes on, making her stand out from the background. Every part of this has a keen attention to detail put into it as well. I also enjoy the glow coming from her foot as well.

I love the way the drawing pushes an impression on the rest of the image as well, really makes it look rather surreal and wonderful. I love this picture, and you are a damn good artist (way better than me, at least). Keep up the good work. Favorited and 5'd.

[Alatheina]

Very nicely done.

Detail - I love this picture mainly because of the beautifully done 3D feel that it has about it. The character itself is indeed rather interesting and charming in it's own way, but I think the touch of three dimensions really added to the picture's beauty as well.

Character - The character itself is a rather interesting concept as well. It has the basic form of a woman, and the wings add a touch of supernatural to it. I also enjoyed how the wings expanded only a little bit from the body, and the strings of them continued outward.

Background - The background element was a nice touch. It fits well with the dark toned character, and really compliments it too. I love cold color pallets, and this does a really nice job of making everything soft and cold looking, with mixes of blue, black and grey. Very well done!

Overall - Wonderful piece of art. You should be proud of this as it was well done, and it seems like it would have taken forever to do. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more from you.

[Ink Dragon]

This is a very nicely done piece of artwork. I know it must have taken a while, and I don't really have many criticisms for you! Good work!

The intricate design was honestly the best, and my favorite part of the piece. The dragon is done very well, especially in the midsection and head areas. The scales have a very good feel of indestructible power to them due to the way that you have drawn them, which is very good as well.

The only real complaint that I can think to make about the piece was that you could have brightened the colors up a tad bit in the background to help further define the shape of the dragon in the foreground, and possibly added colors to the dragon himself. While there is nothing to draw the eye away from the dragon, it would be nice to see him colored up.

I also love the Samurai Jack feeling that this picture gives off. I don't know if it is just me alone that can sense this, but it has a very similar design to the characters and creatures off of that show. I would say you have done very well with this piece, and I hope to see more from you in the future. Happy Drawing!

EchoRun responds:

I did consider colouring the dragon but at the time nothing came to mind that wouldn't make him look cheesy, over-worked or garish. I also tried boosting the colours in the background but again it just became too much for the peice and it started to look cluttered. However thinking about it now and with more art experence under my belt, I do have an idea of what I could do with colouring more art like this one, so future ones may be more colourful. :)

Thanks for the review. :)
