BrandyBuizel's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Heart]

Downright gorgeous lightning.
The soft shadows and reflections make this piece feel incredibly real but the brush strokes on the leaves an trees make it feel as though it was painted practically on canvas. Overall a great location, setting and color composition.

The artstation process is really interesting, I definitely recommend watching it.

[RPG Challenge - 4 - Rogue]

The infinite cape is a rad concept. You seem to be pumping out really unique ideas along with great art in this series, I love it!

ZeTrystan responds:

Hahaha, thanks! It's kinda my goal, I try to make my own interpretation of each class. It's fun!

[RPG Challenge - 2 - Mage]

The brown and green color combo look fantastic on your mascot. I love the concept behind the mage portals making him such a lethal weapon. His eyes look fierce though I wonder if his movements in each arm are mirrored by each portal-arm or if they all act like separate instances.

Cute bird.

ZeTrystan responds:

I'd say he could control some sort of lag in each weapon, so that they attack one after the other. Weird magic logic, y'know. (and thanks!)

[That little empty feeling]

I think you captured this feeling perfectly. I think making the character so small in such a large canvas was a great decision reinforcing the theme of emptiness.

ZeTrystan responds:

I often draw small characters in giants weird formats... recurring theme... mmh.

[The Habitat]

I'm not sure what lives in that habitat, but I can say it has a nice, subtle contrast and gestalt approach.
Monochromatic backgrounds have a special place in my heart; they look great without stealing the viewer's focus from animated subjects(if it's used in that way of course). The undetailed look given by the individual scribbles add to that effect even more so.

[Forest of Dwarves]

Great swamp background. The blue-green water is perfectly murky and the hotter colors in the background make for an eerie fog.

[Peace]

The colors are awesome. It's extremely vibrant with colors across the entire range but my eyes never feel overwhelmed and the grunge texture to the brush makes it all feel complete.

Sirmi responds:

damn, I really appreciate that!

[Bowser jr]

Great use of colors and a soft background that doesn't take the focus away. The contrast between Bowser Jr.'s eyes and his silhouette make it a good image rather than what could've been otherwise generic or boring.
I do agree you could've done more with this image, but what it is IS some nice art and it's never a good idea to dawdle too long on just one piece.

[Night in the Woods]

I wish I could favorite all of your art, but that would get annoying.
You're just so amazingly consistent with solid composition. Great fanart for a great looking game, hope to play it myself really soon.

ZeTrystan responds:

Thanks a bunch! :'D Hahaha. I'm trying my best, so it's nice you like what I draw.
(This game is really simple and nice, I love it)

[Hector]

Love the blue and red accents on the eyes and cig, your near-iconic-now RGB split and definitely-iconic hair tufts. I'd like to see more images utilizing his whole outfit(that jacket), Hector needs some more love.
The gradation on top of shadows and the effect overlays really make him feel solid. To what he's thinking about... it could be life... with Nicholas. #bromance

ZeTrystan responds:

My near-iconic RGB split... oops. Do I overuse it? :'D HAHAHA

I actually have to draw many different outfits of Hector and Nicholas, so it maybe be coming, eventually! :)

And yeah. I think you're totally right.
