BenTibbetts's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Diamond Age]

So beautiful, love your style and subject matter. The lighting is great, the way the eye is drawn to the sun in the center and the contrast of that area against the objects in the water, it all looks like a memory of a dream (or a book, apparently). Thanks for sharing.

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks ! :) It was painted from my mental imagery of i, I'm glad that comes across !

[in faith and flames]

Absolutely beautiful. The colors, lighting, everything is gorgeous here. Only thing is the expression is so calm I feel like it's very hard to believe that weapon has any weight to it. On the other hand that does seem appropriate for the subject matter, a cool detached judgment of a crusader. Anyway, thank you for creating and sharing this, your work always amazes me.

wartynewt responds:

Thanks Ben! I really appreciate the kind words ^^

[SEVEN]

This one made me laugh--the beer belly, the slump, and the way the face tentacles accentuate the pull of gravity are all fabulous here. His gigantic feet are also amusing. Poor swamp monster.

HongKongBong responds:

Swamp monster is tired of all the prejudice, he's thinking of suing Hanna-Barbera Inc but maaan... Let's just pour him another one.
Thanks for the great review!

[ONE]

Love this, super cool looking creature.

HongKongBong responds:

Thank you very much!

[Ice-cream Dullahan]

Definitely the sweetest depiction of a Dullahan I've ever seen ;) manages to make even a headless creature adorable.

maruki responds:

Thank you, that was one of my intentions with this piece. :)

[Prison Food]

Gotcha covered ;)

ToonHole responds:

Thanks! You the best!

[The Creation of Tea]

Beautiful, Maruki! Great homage to The Creation of Adam.

maruki responds:

Thank you, Ben, I hope it goes well as an in-game background too.

[Marketcastle]

Gorgeous work as always! Only thing that's missing are the merchants and the customers. This would make a lovely background for an animated scene.

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks a lot ! :) Mmh yea, thats a nice idea. I've been looking into creating animated gifs.

[Native]

Lovely! What is the fruit that looks like an eye?

maruki responds:

Thank you! It's called guaraná. We use it to make energetic powder and soft drinks. It's pretty bitter on its own.

[Zones of thought]

Lovely! The color scheme is great. I can imagine this bigger...but of course, that's easy for me to say, not having to do the work of painstakingly creating it.

Kamikaye responds:

Thanks ! :) Yea, I had thought about a high format but that would be too much work I think.
