Oddlem's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Woodsland archer]

While your technique and rendering is amazing, I feel like the composition needs some work-- at first glance, it's very hard to read what's happening since the subject doesn't really "pop" out from the background. Maybe try making it contrast more from it by making the tree lighter or fade away into the distance?
Other than that, it's really dang good.

When I first clicked on this, I thought that someone just uploaded a photo because this looked so real. Your sense is lighting is fantastic!

Really great stuff here, keep it up!

Excuse me mona lisa, but can you please make room for REAL art like this? Thank you.

[Odyssey Jinx]

Before I talk about the art itself I just wanted to mention that I couldn't stand the dialogue they gave to everyone in Odyssey. Felt like they were trying to hard to make the jokes land if that makes sense. x: Still a fun gamemode, but boy did those player tips in the loading screen make me wince.

That aside! I really love the way you coloured and shaded this, it looks both simple yet detailed at the same time. I like how the reflective lighting wasn't too overdone yet still makes an impact-- really brings out the whole thing. Also sidenote, those messy braids are A+. Suits her really well, 'specially since I don't think she would take the time to make sure they're organized. lol

I feel like there could have been a bit more done with the background (though the colours chosen on there are pretty nice and fit the colour pallet on Jinx) and that her right forearm is too short, but overall I really like the mood in this piece. .w.

Thanks for taking the time to review my artwork ^^ really appreciate.
Indeed, I could have done something else with the background, although in the beginning it was not planned at all. You see, I was just going to do a sketch of her, but since I liked the way she looked, I began painting and adding more and more details on the shading and lightning. Next time I will try to add more details to the background as well ^^.

I am so glad that you like it, and that the picture conveyed the mood I was trying to achieve.

I absolutely love the way you render out hair, it looks so smooth and shiny. *w*

Thank you so much!

[Adam and Evil]

Omg what, I just saw this on Deviantart through Damai. I thought the thumbnail looked familiar! lol
Anyway! I really like the way you do expressions for some reason, though I feel like it would be more fitting if the tail was coiled around tighter in order to match his expression. Other than that I think this is pretty spot on, 10/10.

This art piece is my spirit animal.

[Young Noble]

I just wanted to say that I LOVE your painting style! ;o; All of your colour choices are nice and toned down giving it a subtle, melancholy feeling to it, and the character is adorable as heck. >u<

Great job on this mate :D

Hammaliel responds:

Ohhh thankyou!

I love the the simplicity of this, it makes it all comes together pretty nicely *o*

[Death and Morte]

I'm in love with the linework on this <3 The colours are fantastic as well, and I really like your use of blues to make it feel mysterious.
The only thing I think could be improved on is the shading. I feel like if you used more intense shading, it really would have helped improve the tone of the piece and give it more depth overall.

But besides that, great work >w<

Yeah , I didn't really did do much with the shadow and stuff , thanks for the tip :D
