Saigon's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hurricane]

like the title

Idk what 2 say (no really.) It gives this type of eastern vibe (like the ouroboros symbol except with kick ass graphic design.) I like the different artistic design given 2 this (a caribbean theme with the plants , the forest/grass with mushrooms and plants) and the fact that you use both black and white and color. I like the theme at the end (i wish it was all that easy) maybe life? it also reminds me of outsider art (the style usually has a lot of different elements involved within an art piece your painting reminds me of Adolf Wölfli's artwork.) Hell of an awesome job, one that is worth beyond a 5/5. It contained all the essentials of an art piece, good structure, good themes, good title, and overall amazingness.)

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thank you! I really appreciate the review, you could critique art for a living, you're very observant. You were right about life being a theme through out, it was. I was going through a lot when I made this. Thank you for the kind words. :-)

[The calm before the storm]

Awesome title

I like the painting, the sloppiness is not bad (it actually makes the painting look better.) What i like about it is the color use, the monster color looks good with the sky (idk about it I like how it looks.) The color use is a 5/5, the fantasy/realism in the painting is another 5/5. And IDK it just looks freaking awesome. Good job man, 5/5.

Loath-some responds:

I'm a bit new to painting so I guess that's why it is a bit sloppy. But I'm glad it worked out anyway!

Thanks a lot!

[Sympathy for the Devil]

nice title

lol, i like the wings and the spine (good details on that.) Good concept also, this one is pretty cool. 4/5

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Rolling Stones/Cowboy Bebop inspired the title. Alot of episodes of C.B. are titles of rolling stone songs - sympathy for the devil, wild horses, honkey tonk woman etc.

[Cubist Cat]

yeah it does seem like a wolf sometimes

whatever it looks like its cool because its influenced by cubism (kudos for that btw.) Yeah pretty awesome artwork is all i could say. 5/5

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Such praise! Thanks dude :). I think it's the neck width that's misleading

[Faced with bad luck]

ouch

not your typical art but a kick ass one. The background (and the white line to the left) fits with the main artwork (thought the artwork just reminded me of the face.) I like it. 5/5

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Cut myself arranging those pieces. Blood, sweat and beers!

[Sky by Night]

kewl

Do not know much about this landscape art but it looks pretty freaking sweet (with the space and stuff.)

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Thankyou

[Safety Series: Corrosive]

fluorine

i like the concept of this series, using chemistry and art. This is my favorite one of the series i think (like the spots and stuff.) 5/5

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Used a paint wax mix, thought it looked like burns. I'm glad you like it :D

[Safety Series: Flammable]

:D

Fire symbol mixes with the entire artwork (pretty sweet job) using chemistry and stuff (even better :D) once again super awesome. 5/5

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

You the man Saigon! You the man. I don't promote arson however haha.

[Safety Series: Explosive]

nice

Graphic art always owns in some type of way, this one is a good example. I like how the artwork supporting the main theme (the symbol) has a similarity to it (all destroyed and distorted.) Awesome stuff, 5/5.

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Thanks Saigon :D

[The plunge]

cool concept

very VERY minimal. And for that you get a 5 :)
(I'm a sucker for minimal stuff.)

smbhax responds:

Heh. Come to think of it, it's pretty similar to a painting I did back in college, of a single leaf falling to the ground. That one was called "The Fall." Seems I can't stay way from that theme!
