JurTheOrc's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Concept of enemies]

I carry a great liking for this. Your style seems fun and solid, having a balance between cool and yet kind of cute. Mainly so with three of the skeleton enemies, but for me the big grub counts for that as well. I like the braids on that one.
- First skeleton is simply cool with a style that seems somewhere between later medieval guard, and a gladiator.
- Second skeleton looks like an armored minotaur, but with a *really* awesome helmet and the interesting design of having arms the length of an orangutan's.
- Third skeleton looks solid.
- Absolutely love those layered skulls for the warlock. Neat crown and cloak, and cute scroll for that one.

- The swamp inhabitants have an aestethic that makes me think of Mesoamericna influences, mainly Aztecs. First one has a cool helmet and weapon inspired by the spear version of the macuahuitl. Stands out especially because the helmet has herbivorous teeth.
- Already mentioned the grub and there's not much else i can mention. I like the patterns and the braids, and the three-part mouth is interesting.
- Snake lady's goofy face and dual throwing dart quivers stand out the most to me. I like that.
- The mage variant here has a very interesting mask! Don't think i've ever seen anything quite like it. Interesting that there seem to be mushrooms growing on him, too... I can imagine those being an ingredient for certain spells or potions or something.

Wish you a lot of good luck and fun on your game project!

You have written me so many things that make me feel good, thank you very much! o//v//o

[Guilty Gear - A.B.A]

Cool art of A.B.A and Paracelsus in a neat style. Cool lighting and shading with the more purple and pinkish hues, and I like the pose too.

[Murderous RedCarp]

That is the tastiest helmet i've ever seen. Tastiest pauldron, too, for it kind of looks like a lime...
The fish didn't murder the other red-headed fish to eat, he's just taking his brother out for a walk.

Hoping i'll one day achieve a level of skill like this.

[Bulldogs Cover]

Flip yeah, I love it when people get creative with monster designs like this! Not just on shape, but on coloring too.
There's no rules that strictly state what a monster can or cannot be, and in that sense they're the ultimate symbol of imagination. I hope that in the future you'll get a lot more commissions that allow for cool, monstrous and bizarre creature designs, be it from the commisioner's imagination or from your own if it is allowed to shine.

[Skeledirge (2022)]

Haven't kept up with Pokémon, but finding out there's a flaming skeleton-themed crocodile Pokémon through a cool and solid piece of art is sweet stuff! Good work, I shall go inspect your Yokai, Peppino and Rottytops pieces now.

CyklopArt responds:

I'm glad you liked this fire croc. Skeledirge is also based on singers and is always seen with this fire bird.

[pomni at the court of digital circus]

Haaa, i know this one! Stanczyk the Polish jester! This works really well with the emotion from that painting and with Pomni's despair.
Neat how the cap 'n bells, collar, pompons and hands seem to be drawn with sharper lines compared to the rest of the drawing (and Caine's mouth-and-hat outline, too). Seems to contrast against the rest and draw in attention towards the upper body.

Really cool!

[STICH'Z REF]

This man is using a repurposed guillotine blade for a katar/grappling hook. An electric one at that.
Normally I hate guillotines, but I like the
*CUT*
of his jib and funny face. Plus the fact that he's actually a decent fellow, in spite of that anger.

I don't know who Simbris is (yet), but i could imagine the nature of Stitch'z's weapon allowing for moves like, for example:
- Stitch'z throwing the blade forward with Simbris sitting on it to quickly jump onto another foe while the blade hits an intended target
- Electircally charging the blade before throwing it as a kind of move enhancer.
- Perhaps magnetically charging it too? I'm no electromagnetism scientist, so i may be lacking in logic.
- Surprise low-damage quick attacks with the handle part of the cable instead
- Cutting a block of cheese for lunch (probably big cheese, in his case)
- Ramming the blade into a wall and then skipping rope.
There's loads of potential.

Very big fan of your cartoonish proportions and skill with colors (like the fading from green to more grey-ishon his arms) and line thickness. May have to study that to try something with it myself to do something with.

Just a really fun and cool character all around for me. Wish you good luck and fun on future projects.

[Grave Robber]

Fup yeah, those clouds/fog look fantastic to contrast against the sharpness of the bonehead here. I know it's desecration, but this man looks lovable.
I'm curious why he does what he does, and what else there may be to him. Your style here's really appealing.

Triibot responds:

Thank you. I might flesh out the character more in the future.

[Vinn Vultura]

I like this one. Vultures ought to be more represented in media, they're cool animals. Useful, too.
Compliments on the background too, like the cool wallpaper and the simple but effective tree designs. And the overall coloring work.

[Nani (OC)]

Both the character design and the background are very pleasant. Fun hair, nice returning theme of the tropical flowers-- very fupping clean overall.
Makes me curious what kind of resort she might be working for, and what other plant and tree characters could spring forth from your hand.

Bumpadump responds:

thank you for the compliments! I might make more tree charcaters soon :)
