Aalasteir's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gym Tristen]

The shading is really well done. What elements do you value most in art, and why?

[OCtober Day 20: That's GROSS!!!]

Your use of light is incredible. How do you determine when your art is ready to be published?

ElectroNat responds:

Thanks!! And I'm not sure tbh, I just kinda work on it until it looks done. Then I give it a once over to make sure I didn't miss any glaring issues, as well as add any details I missed, then away it goes

I love how vibrant this is! What advice has helped you in making your art?

hypnadot responds:

lots of advice but generally for design i learned to live by a "less is more" philosophy which is why i tend to strip down most characters i draw and focus on features that make them stand out. another is to keep being inspired. i have done a lot of changes to my style over the months whether it's noticeable or not and most of those changes came from consuming other pieces of work. experimenting is a great way to keep art from being boring. and as for staying hungry, hard work should pay off for everyone that displays it but i feel it getting harder for artists every day. but, i gotta push forward and not let that bug me. my stuff should continue to be here for ppl to see.

The textures in this are fantastic. How do you stay motivated during creative blocks?

[Hardwork pays off... !!]

Your piece has such great energy! What’s the most challenging project you’ve undertaken from a process perspective?

[LitTL - End of Con]

There's a lot of emotion in this piece. What is your system for organizing your workflow for art projects?

[Michael Arklight]

The colors here are terrific. What part of the creative process do you find most fun?

Xhashaseed responds:

- The sketching is the hardest because I have a tough time visualizing
- Getting the flats down, right now, is the most fun, i get to play with high contrast a lot
- The colors in this surprised me so I'm going to try it again with my next picture, normally i don't like working with color but i found this new technique on accident and i want to see if i can do it again! I like the layered paint feel.
