BottleTopBillFanclub's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Feeling the moonlight]

Your composition is very sophisticated, with strong use of silhouettes and color. The background is well stylized and has great shape appeal, especially in how the ghosts are formed. The pink and purple colors pop beautifully!

Very unique! How did you develop your style? What steps did you take, and what advice would you give to people who are just starting to learn to draw or trying to develop the habit of learning to draw?

Chuw-Croissantier responds:

First of all... thank you v much, v appreciated it!

And second, long short story, i developed my style by watching other artists, learning their techniques and use them in a creative and unique way, my advice is... keep trying, never give up and if something is bad... you'll do even better next time! never be afraid of fail bc every attempt would be even better than before! (and of course... make sure to take feedback given by others and also studying and learning techniques of other artists, it's not bad taking inspiration of other sources ;D)

[San remake]

Very nice orange color! The forms are well done. What do you think about Friday Night Funkin'? In what ways would you say your style has changed over the years? Also, great lighting work and excellent stylized anatomy!

NoxeDraw responds:

Thank you very much for your support. What I think about fnf today is that it is like undertale sincerely. The truth is my style in recent years because I have only been doing it in the way that I like the most. Thank you again for your support:3

[Costume Jam 2024 Banner Artwork]

This is really creative, love it! What tools or software do you use for your art?

EmsDeLaRoZ responds:

I used medibang for this artwork, but sometimes I use Photoshop, that's mostly it

[Steel]

Good use of black and white. Your piece has such great energy! What’s the most challenging project you’ve undertaken from a process perspective?

TomaFokio responds:

To my surprise, it's not that difficult. The only thing that infuriated me the most was these wires with white contours

[Cassandra Black and Orange]

Thank you so much! your design is great, and the way you did the background and added details to the hair was an excellent decision.

@DioShiba, what is your opinion on style?

DioShiba responds:

Glad you love the work. Trying to think of the best way to express my opinion on artistic style to give the best answer possible.

Here's the thing: You can study many different styles of art that has been done in any medium but ultimately, you can't just force creating your own style right off the bat until you hit a certain mastery in your craft.

Part of the reason why I say this is because going into the basic foundations of art you can do whatever you wish with traditional or digital art. Hell even pixel art still has those basic foundations. Realistically the more you practice the more your own style will come into fruition naturally and you can always experiment with what works and what doesn't by learning from your own previous works. There's a method to one's madness in developing a style.

I'm not sure if that makes much sense but I can try to elaborate further if it's not 100% clear.

[Happy Birthday Team Fortress!]

Absolutely amazing scene! It’s great to see how Team Fortress 2 has brought so much joy and wonderful inspiration for creativity. It is an excellent game, and your art is super awesome!

@TomaFokio, what is your favourite advice on creating art?

@TomaFokio, what do you think about Team Fortress 2?

TomaFokio responds:

Thankuuu!
1. You can try to look up to the artists you like (who really draw well). And don't give up your work on art halfway through, because you'll regret it later
2. The game itself is great! The community is also quite creative and inspiring! (despite the MANY disputes within the community)

[Mecha Mayhem Collab]

Wow, wow, wow—outstanding Collab! The silhouettes burst with character and attitude. You are all very skilled artists with unique personalities, and you communicate them so well.

@fish-flop, @GuyWhoCanDraw, @IWillEndYou, @Wyat-ttt, what habits as artists are you proud to have developed?

fish-flop responds:

Thanks for the kind words! Haha, most of my art habits are bad ones that make me less efficient, overall. However, I do really enjoy my process for inks/linework. Clip Studio has a lot of cool options for vector linework that I find really helpful, since I like to keep my lines crisp and sharp.

[My new favorite art]

Awesome scene! The shading is amazing, and the colors are bright!

@Porkin98, why would you say it took too long? How long did it actually take to create your art piece, and what elements make it your favorite?

@Porkin98, are there any artists whose work inspires you? Why are you inspired by them, and what qualities do you enjoy in their work?

Porkin98 responds:

It took 22 hours for the art to be finished, this is my art because it is the one where I left my comfort zone the most by trying to create a story with the drawing.
The artists that inspire me the most were bengus, Bacun and Guilherme Freitas, everyone's art is amazing, vibrant colors, incredible compositions and much more.

[blue skies]

Your result is of superb quality. I didn’t know that acrylics on cardboard could produce such rich results. I have a sense of adventure through your piece.

@drachenmagier, how did you decide to paint with acrylics on cardboard?

drachenmagier responds:

Well, the acrylics are there. The cardboard is there. It seems logical to put those together. d: Aside from that, acrylics are really versatile and you can imitate a lot of effects done mostly known from digital media. :) Or I should probably say, digital media can imitate acrylics. :D

And thank you!

[Pixel Art from 2023]

I'm incredibly impressed by the richness and depth in your pieces. Your palettes are a sight to behold—truly excellent. My favorite is the one with the castle. The blue is so powerful, and the way the mountains recede into the background perspective is great. It’s a superb composition with great detail and sophisticated shape language.

@SlowPumpkins, why do you feel the need to draw more someday? Is there a specific reason you think you aren’t drawing as much as you would like?

@SlowPumpkins, you are a very skilled artist. Were there any points where you struggled with learning art concepts? How did you eventually overcome those challenges?

SlowPumpkins responds:

thank you so much! and about the castle artwork I only give my vision since it's based on a album cover, the original painting was done by a famous metal cover artist named kristian wahlin, he is a master!

and about the questions, I don't want to overwork anymore but I always have this feeling that I didn't do enough for the day. If I didn't have to worry about money I'll probably draw more
