xi-eonling's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Hay Lin from W.I.T.C.H.]

OH WOW so smooth and professional ♡
i absolutely adore the hand. anatomy, perspective, animation, everything. the slow buildup, the smear, the body subtly following, then the wind flow of the rest,,, i don't see any settle frames at the end, but it works even without!

it's been a long while since i've seen any W.I.T.C.H. content. i still haven't watched the cartoon, but it might be about time haha
anyway i absolutely look forward to more!! 🛐

KENYYAA responds:

Hahah, thank you very much! This is just an animation for little darkwitch challenge. There are not too many frames in it, because the time for the challenge was limited. But I tried to do well, put my soul into it

I highly recommend watching the animated series and reading comics. I love the atmosphere of this work

And i already have an animatic for the next animation. It will be quite large. Someday, I hope, in the future I will take up this case)

wooaa the vibe is immaculate 😳😳 not too threatening but neither reassuring -- more like solemn and composed yet vigilant ♥
the wolves look just the right amount of fluffy and her hair flows so nicely. i love the minimal dark forest framing as well.

also how have you not been scouted yet!!! that's criminal >:0

Viilt responds:

AAAA Thank you so much, that is very sweet of you and I'm happy the illustration managed to give the right vibe from her ♥

I'm pretty new to NewGrounds (as an artist), so the scouting is something new for me ♥

[tarantula girl]

very neat! it does feel unpolished or maybe rushed in a few ways, but the character is pretty expressive :D definitely has the energy of a dialogue sprite.

SchnelTheGreat responds:

:> shall i start posting more art?

[[oc] Evan]

idk how you have not been scouted yet-- your art has a really neat energy!!
i love the poses here. unguligrade supremacy ♥

[tsuki no usagi]

just the right amount of messy and aesthetic, with some leve of uncanny ♥ the best vibe

[Cosmo]

baby!!!! i love the stylized anatomy and shapes so much.
the vibrant colors and subtle glow give me life ♥

[Mizore Ito (Misery-chan) - Ephemeral]

shs-sh-she 😳
i always really enjoy seeing art of her in my feed <3

SketchMeNot responds:

Aww oh my gosh thank you! (^w^)

I'm so glad you enjoying seeing her! She's my precious baby ✨(>◡<)✨

[vespula]

anthropomorphic bugs!! yesss
the design is so cohesive and stylish. the wasp elements are so clearly readable and well-translated/transformed into the silhouette and all the shapes. intimidating yet elegant ♥
the inked, scratchy Pastel Games-esque style works so well for this too.

i'm surprised you haven't been scouted yet. people will definitely love your art here too! ^ ^

xlallistar responds:

omg thank you so much! im glad you like my art and buggies! ❤❤❤❤❤

aa i love the colors! like soft crystalline auroras,, then again, this sort of style is one of my absolute favourites.
it all feels quickly painted in, almost effortlessly; yet the shapes are quite clear, like you knew exactly how much to render and where.

amazing work!!

CuteNikeChan responds:

wow!! i really appreciate it!! that's so kind of you, i'm so glad! ♪ (❁´◡`❁)

so small and cute ;; what will they draw,
the character design is very sweet. natural, lowkey cottagecore, pleasant! the square eyes are quite the art style choice.

on the technical side, I can see imperfections (like areas unfilled with color due to the lineart, color differences between the two frames, the redraw feeling casual rather than purposeful) -- it would be interesting to see more like this done with more polish, and possibly readapted to the center and given a background if meant to be uploaded as a standalone gif. the potential is there!

I can totally see this at the bottom side of a video, stream or banner. it looks like that was the idea though :D

Thank you very much for the advice
