Coop's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Not Awful...

Although I would have to say that this piece is pretty average, without me getting into too much detail about what I disliked about it. A lack of background was a big issue here, as I could have overlooked other lack of detail with some other detail to look at.

The big, overdone signature is horrendous - you're not writing a cheque here, you're supposed to make your signature at least legible, so that someone knows who drew it. In this technological age, that's practically redundant, but in a piece which could legitimately be stolen, putting it into the piece so that it cannot be easily cropped or erased from the piece would be a better thing.

What's with the cutaway mouth piece? If the cat had an opening for the mouth, why not also one for the eyes, which would have given a much freakier look to the face. Also, the legs are poorly positioned - the left leg should have been attached in the fore of the body, not behind, creating an awkward position of two shoulders on the right side of the cat, in effect. It's either that, or you've got the cat in a ridiculous pose, where the body is facing backwards, the feet to its left and the face towards us...

Lacking in distortion for the mask's contours and the web effect causes me to mark it down, though I do commend you on the level of detail for the fur. Sadly, this looks like the only thing that I favoured for the piece.

Just went ahead and edited the signature in what is hopefully a more bearable way, I don't understand your reasoning for the cutaway eyes, the reason I put in a cutaway mouth was because a cat would still be able to, you know, bite, a cat does not bite with its eyes, Coops.

Good, but your legs need some work.

I think that the image as a whole is more than passable, representing a very accomplished work of art, perhaps lacking in the background department, but other than that, you've made a good stab at it and have given us something very interesting to look at.

The legs look to get a little thin, below the calf muscle, tapering almost to nothing before entering the boot, which is not how a human leg would look - sure, it would taper, but exaggerating this does not give us anything, nor does it serve to accentuate the size of her calves or thighs...

Further to this, the toes of the boots look massive, while the body of the foot looks rather tiny, pointing to some sort of deformity, perhaps club foot... Always remember, the legs are going to be proportionally bigger than the arms, as you have to use your legs more, thus building the muscles more than the arms, unless you go to the gym and pump some serious iron.

Simple lines, good colour, good shading. Keep up the good work and see if you can give us something more to go at :)

Apparently, I'm constipated...

That and TehSlapHappy looks like a Paedophile, pushing illicit Pepsi onto those poor unsuspecting kiddies, but I really like this. A great way to kill a few hours for you, no doubt and a good chance for me to think of how I'd sound in some of your pieces. Definitely with your voice, that's a character I can see taking off... Mind you, I'd probably get pwned by John and his Olympian gods.

We need to get a group shot, perhaps from the next meet and get someone to draw each participant, much like this. Would you do a commission for us and how many beers would be required?

you have no idea how many characters i draw that look very similar to your caricature.

i don't drink beer, but you can pay me in gold bullion
