Markafoi's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Business Demon Girl]

I'd still choose Kneesocks instead, but this is certainly well drawn. The shadows are very consistent, from the horns casting over the hair, to the angles on both the tail and the clothes. The design is interesting, eyes are very impressive. Biggest problem I can see is probably the belt buckle, which seems to be lacking the detail of the rest of her. Still good overall.

thanks buddy, ^^

[Iron Woman Animation]

I see you took all the reviews of the static Iron Woman and put them to use here, with the feminine face and whatnot. Almost everything about the transformation is good, too. The only thing I can say is that when the red armor joins in the middle of her stomach, the fact that there isn't a little line or groove visible seems a little weird. Great work on everything else though!

bocodamondo responds:

thanks for the review, trunks ^^

[Elastigirl]

Not my favorite work of yours, man. While I don't really have any problems with the hair, it doesn't seem all that special. The face itself is fine, but the shadows being cast on it seem pretty odd, the hair not shading enough of her face considering how poofy it is, while the domino mask seems to create too large of a shadow, considering they're pressed right up against the face and are pretty thin. The body shape and muscle structure seem awkward and kind of masculine, especially the ribcage and biceps. Her chest logo doesn't seem to bend around her body correctly, as the logo doesn't seem to shrink enough around her collar and continues to grow in size even though it passes the crest of her breasts and should therefore sink again. The colors and shine on her suit seem relatively uninspired. The way you drew her right arm larger for distance scaling is fine, but judging by how much larger you drew it, I think you should have either drawn her bicep over her breast or having the breast pushed inward by the position of her arm. Her hips seem to meld straight into her thighs, but other than that, they seem fine. Her boots just seem really odd, from the way it cones outward to not showing any part of her knee, just the curves of the thigh and calf, and all the way down to her awkward feet. The general shape and colors weren't bad, but I would say the biggest problem with this drawing is the lack of soul you put into it. All of your other work seemed so motivated and with a ton of effort, and I just didn't get that feeling from this piece. I can understand this because you said it was a request, but still.

bocodamondo responds:

yeah i really didnt had much fun drawing this piece. but not just because its a request, its also because i got alot other shit to work on.

[zelda redesigns]

So awesome.

I'll talk about the picture in a second, but first I want to clear some confusion about Sheik. Sheik as Adult Link in Ocarina of Time is not the same as the bodyguard of Zelda as Kid Link. Sheik IS Zelda, she just uses magic to change clothes, skin, and eye color. Zelda TRIED to convince people that Sheik was a guy, but she couldn't really change her breasts or hips, so she ended up fooling, oh around... no-one. Anyway, I should get back to the picture. I'll work from left to right, maybe skipping a character or two. I don't know if it's Navi or Tatl, but either way, she's very well drawn, with the body shape and the know-it-all expression, as well as her boots, which also add to her personality. Young Link was great. I had a couple problems, though. His hat has very intricate symbols, which don't really represent his Kokiri upbringing. I also noticed he had ear piercings, which, if I remember correctly, he received as an adult. The bandanna/neck guard was a great addition. His face was awesome, too. His smile represents both the excitement of being outside in Hyrule Field, as well as thoughts of the most painful ways to stop "Hey, listen"-ing. His intense eyes show both his dedication to reaching the castle, and also going as part two of the dead fairy idea. The flares on his boots could have been larger, but they still looked great.
The Adult Link is incredible, too. The two braids on the side of his head are a little disheveled, the tunic and trousers are a little baggy, but he really looks like he would be able to handle anything thrown at him.
I don't have anything to complain about with Tetra, so... yeah.
The Sheik is awesome, and I love the addition of the spiked shoulder pauldron.
The leaves on Saria's ankles, necklace, and hair are a bit out of place, but other than that, she's good, too.
The Malon looks good, but something about the way her body's angled, with the shoulders and waist in opposite directions, doesn't sit right with me.
I'll skip over a bit all the way to Midna, who's also well drawn. Her waist was twisted in an interesting way, but it's not necessarily bad.
The octorock was great, too.
Skull Kid/ Majora was good, and I like the shackle.
Dark Link was straight up awesome.
The witches Twinrova and Ganondorf were awesome, and really fill the Gerudo niche.
All in all, I love this picture, and it really brings Zelda justice. The entire picture is drawn in Scott Pilgrim style, and I love the whole thing. The reason I'm not giving it a rating is my mixed review of the whole picture, and totaling up points to reach a score would not make much sense. Awesome, nonetheless.

lenkalamari responds:

i dont mind the zero mainly cuz you gave a pretty positive review and explained it's more of a N/A than a 0/10. i'll be redoing this piece next year and i'll be taking all your comments into account, thanks a lot

[Roxas]

Just the nobody of a a spiky-haired hero...

The water is great, the colors are realistic yet Kingdom Hearts-esque, if that makes sense...
The sand is great, the different layers and and shades are incredible. I've only noticed one thing, the black line on the horizon, reaching the top of the sand, is actually slightly above the sand, and I assume that is intentional, because it really looks awesome.
The shadow is an exact copy of Roxas, no problems with scaling or perspective. The hairs in the back of his head don't have as many black lines in the front, which I think makes it look kind of off balance.
The torso seems a tiny bit smaller than it should be, but that also adds to the appeal of the realistic yet Kindgom Hearts-esque (I have no idea why I keep saying that) but, uh... yeah.
The forearm of the arm holding the pearl seems a little bit too thick, and the shoes should probably be causing a disturbance in the sand.
Over all, I thinks it's a great drawing, and really is a great addition to Newgrounds and Kingdom Hearts. Good job.
