JoshuaHughes's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Two mouths one set of teeth]

Very surreal! I'm just loving how I can't find out where the first mouth ends and the second one begins. What could possibility cause you to have the entire top row of your teeth removed?

linda-mota responds:

i'm not sure. sometimes the dream teeth crap kinda meld into one entity so sometimes it's hard to remember. i think someone convinced me to do it, or the top teeth were falling apart ad they needed to go.

[Pig Explodes]

Great illustration! The texture of the snout is a bit weird, but is that really the focus of this piece? Omnidirectional blood everywhere!

arosart responds:

Thank you Joshua! This was used for a compact disc cover image so the omnidirectional blood goes well with the circle format. As the snout, you are right, i just exagerated the texture really.. guess i was trying to make a contrast with the soft textured skin.

[Royal Purple Dragon]

Neat! Purple dragons are definitely in short supply around here.

AshleyAlyse responds:

Haha, thanks! :3

[Road to Darkness]

Neat work, dude! Not much of an artist myself, but I suppose you don't have to be a 5-star chef to determine if a dish is good or not, right? Looks like you can get perspectives down. Is the road colored or that the blank canvas? Is there a way to work on blending edges a little with coal? I will say that the area where the snow and road meet looks a little rough. Maybe it's because the road is so perfectly straight. Anywho, nice one!

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks a lot, Joshua! I just noticed you released a new track some time ago too, I'll go check it out XD

That road is the blank canvas, good eye! And you're certainly right; the areas where the snow and the road meet are very rough indeed. I blame the crayon I had to use though! The material was extremely hard, and there was no way to make it stick without using a lot of force. Thus, I couldn't use any techniques besides full power or none at all :) I'm sure there are people that could, but I tried to use it as little as possible :3

[Flying island]

Amazing work of art! I like the nearly symmetrical diamond shape the island takes on. I also like how the clouds below it give off a more earthy color than the ones above it. I've seen a lot of flying islands in this portal, but this one just seems to express the feeling of loneliness so much more than others.
