michaelkeene's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Brilliant stuff, and great use of the "booby" tag. If you're not already getting a lot of work, you should be.

[Police dogs]

All of these show great attention to detail, and I could definitely see this as an actual cartoon or comic, which is exactly what I want out of good concept art.

[police dogs2]

Just great work. This is the kind of stuff you see behind the scenes on a cartoon DVD. Love, love, LOVE the conceptual badge, as well as the wrists on the police dogs.

I... I want this in my life. They're so stupidly badass. Near perfect character design, with great use of anatomy and original ideas.

Hahaha, thanks for all the comments man. glad u like it;)

[Wild Gyarados]

Background's a bit sloppy, as is the water, but the main attraction is totally metal. Very good job.

[The Most Noble Thing]

Even the softer paint look that I usually don't like works really well here. I'm part of a pop art gallery in Asheville, and this looks like the kind of thing that sells like hotcakes over there. Beautiful.

I also 100% agree about the saturation, and your author's comment is the best I've seen on this site.

Hello Mr. Flash
and thank you very much for your review and the starry things.

Oh my, I have to consider moving to Asheville then ^^
Although I guess the gallery-folks wouldn't appreciate my weird social behavior as soon as there was a vernissage ;)

I'm very happy you like the painting even with the softer paint. Just you wait, I might make it one of my life goals to drag you to the soft side, muwahaha!
Also thanks a bunch for your kind words on my description. To be honest, I never planned on going on for so long but as it is with things you truly love, you tend to get carried away. But well, I don't mind getting swept along by great teachers and the marvelous things they help me understand.

Best wishes and may you have a glimpse at the milky way tonight

As a huge Jurassic Park fan, I approve of the idea. The line work, coloring, and structure are not good at all, however. Nose, eyes, and highlights are especially egregious.

That said, I can't say enough how great the idea is. I haven't looked at your other stuff, but assuming this is representative, I think if you honed your skill to a finer point and tried again this could be wall-hanging material.

I like this a lot. The right eyelid seems a bit droopy and the hair line could have used a bit more refinement (smaller brush maybe? I'm no paint expert, so unsure), but otherwise a great job. Love your color palette.

[Shyna the Dolphin Gal]

Not my thing at all, but nonetheless a near flawless execution. Fantastic background choice, and the anatomy seems about right... although the feet are weird to me, as if they're out of proportion somehow.

I'm sure your friend loved it.
