Poireau's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[commissions]

The 1st one has me thinking that it is probably more dangerous to wear the armor than not to... But Your art is magnificent anyways, so I don't really care :D

clayscence responds:

haha thank you :D

[Heroes of the Storm]

looks awesome! *.*
as for suggestions... maybe a bit more rythm/movement in the snow could help. I was also thinking about some atmospheric depth but it would possibly sacrifice to much detail on the background characters (especially in small res like we have here)

Ishnuala responds:

I totally agree it lack of depth...I did try to do lesser details on background characters..may be not enough? ok i will try again. Thanks a lot!

[My Sanctuary]

holy... wow!
nothing to say but that it's amazing!

Utada Hikaru's song is also great, i can see the inspiration.
fantastic work!

clayscence responds:

you are right, I have to change that. thank you so much for your comment :D

[The Gorgeous and the Grotesque]

epic!
sorry I downed your pic's score: misclicked and "voted 2" =( it should have stayed at 5 for ever

DieterTheuns responds:

Aw, it's fine :)
You left a 5 star review, at least that's something :D

[Crossbow Man]

I see what you mean. perspective is good IMO, but the foreground and main character might need a bit more emphasis; but the main issue is the clouds, which appear to be much too consistent, and to rest heavily on the ground: they look more like a mud wall than clouds. they look vertical, when they should be horizontal.
Also, again with the clouds, their shadows feel odd. in all the scene, the light comes from a spot behind the cross-shaped gap, but the cloud's light seems to be coming from somewhere above the scene, and closer to the viewer (in front of the gap). This too makes them look opaque, whereas the thinner parts should be less of an obstacle for the light.
Also, I just noticed that the shadow of the man's left arm make it look like he's got two arms

SimplySurviving responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm terrible at clouds and I've been meaning to work on that I'll try to get on that real soon. Probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to make that cross shape more subtle either, I think if it would have helped the sky look more natural as opposed to doing that "wall of clouds".
