ShellySunshine's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[SCORNETS]

This is really nicely done! I love the background and the overall mood this piece is in. I haven't seen any discrepancies, but I'm not sure if I would be able to notice such anyways. I also love how smooth the shading is here too.

Never thought of using the Internet Archive for stuff as progress pictures, but that's also interesting!

TinyFieryOphanim responds:

Thanks Shelly! 😃 I love autumn/fall vibes, and the level these bugs appear in has such a wonderful vibe to it. It's called Twilight River and it's just so...warm and autumny. I'm happy it looks okay! I was a little concerned that I might be misjudging brightness because of the differences with the newer monitor, so that's all good!

Internet Archive might be a little slow, but it's the best website I've used to upload progress pictures! They accept videos and files as well

[Iggy Koopaling Toy from Super Mario World]

I can't really decide if I like this version of Iggy best, or if I like the green-shelled Iggy with rainbow hair that he twinned with Lemmy. A combination of both SMW Iggy's color and looks along with his old rainbow hair would have looked cool.

This guy is my favorite, but I don't really like his current looks at all, maybe aside from his teeth. I miss old Iggy's design.

Anyways, I love this model of him! No joke, when I saw this in my e-mail this morning, I had to get a better look, and even leave a review! This would definitely make a cool toy for sure!

DCDg responds:

Thank you for your kindness. I really like this version better, with a blue shell and a stereotypical Chinese look from old cartoons (I don't know if it was intentional) but I think it's charming. I also like the concept version, but I would at least put it with the blue shell. The new version is interesting in its own way, look like a plant, remember me a Tanemon, but I confess that it is much inferior.

[GOOOODIE]

There's something surrealistic about the angle or perspective in this piece, but it looks really appealing to me because it fits with what the image is going for. I like how the main character, the coins on the bottom left, and the gems are rendered. It's very interesting to look at.

TinyFieryOphanim responds:

Aw thank you so much! This is one of my fave drawings so that means a lot to me! Honestly drawing gems is so much fun

[EVE]

This could have been easily mistaken for a 3D model, especially at a thumbnail glance. Eve is just rendered so beautifully! Great work!

TinyFieryOphanim responds:

Thank you so much! I really wanted to make it look like a scene from the movie and I'm really happy about that!

[Croc Family]

Oh my god, all of my yeses. I love gatormons!

Cute style. I like the expressions here.

MadToons responds:

Definitely among my favourites these gator lads haha!

I'm happy to hear you're liking it, thank you so much! :D

[Say My Name (Breaking Bad FanArt)]

You did this with just a mouse and a keyboard?! Even the details?! That is... impressive!

StitchMiss responds:

Even the details :D I only use mouse and keyboard for all my works XD These pieces take forever so I sadly don't get to them often, but when I do, they make for excellent practice for this kind of style ^o^ Really chuffed you like it!

[Donkey Kong Country 3 Kiddy Kong, Dixie, Koin, Koindozer, Nid, Ellie]

Oh my god, yes! DKC3 represent!!! Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong!! I love how Koin and Koindozer look too! Great renders!

DCDg responds:

Thanks for your comment, it even reminded me of a Kiddy model I have that is not for printing, I'll post it this week, it was one of the first models I made, I'll see if I can find it

[Bazuka Donkey Kong Country 3]

This guy is one of the better DKC3 Kremling designs, and he's very underrated. These 3D models did him justice.

DCDg responds:

I agree with you, I think he's simply fantastic, I've always liked him since I was a kid (and Skidda)

[DKC Funky Kong - Donkey Kong Country]

I wish that they used this variant of Funky Kong more instead of using the DKC3 variant so much.

Great render! Looks like a real figurine!

DCDg responds:

be patient, soon the best Funky will come (DKC3) <3 hehe

[DKC 2 Kleever]

If this was an actual real life figure, I could see this having some sort of lights inside in order for the lava to light up. They could even wave or flicker in level of brightness too. That would be super cool - awesome 3D work! :D

DCDg responds:

Thanks friend, yes, in the case of printing it would be necessary to print the magma with a transparent resin, or even that colored translucent material that some miniatures have, it would look really cool with some LEDs
