Kamikaye's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Breeding by the millions]

Wow ! Really cool work ! I love cycled background animation like this :) Colors, lights and proportions are all on point for a dystopian neon future theme. Which programm did you use ?

Cryofluid responds:

Thanks, I used UE4

[Dungeon - One Week Ultimate Werewolf]

I really love these round token designs. Looks great !

[waiting for the light]

I really like how you create well lit scenes with a limited color palette and resolution. Every pixel counting :)

radshoe responds:

Thanks! ^^

[Zauk and Kuga]

An intriguing choice of colors ! Conveys the eerie feeling really well ! Like the detail contrasting to lead the eye to the ghostly procession in addition to the brightness !

[date night]

I really dig the atmosphere and story told in this piece with limited palette and frame !

radshoe responds:

holy shit thanks man! Means a lot coming from such a talented artist. ;D

[The mighty mountains of Midguard]

For a first digital landscape it's pretty neat.

First thing for depth would be a background color. A bright desaturated blue for example. So the bright hills get some more contrast.
And it needs stronger shadows if the sun is in a position like this. Like in the bottom right corner, that looks good already.
Coming back to the blue sky, you can use that blue in small quantities as haze in the riverbed to show the distance.
I always start with a background color that represents the atmosphere.
And you might want to look at reference pictures, googling for "rocky landscape" and hills and such stuff. Carefully observe haze, lighting conditions and texture of the rock. Textures went pertty well on the right side mountains for now, but the left mountain needs work I think.

[Robot Day Newgrounds Skin]

I really love that skin ! Finding myself often tracing these fine wood texture details :)

[Hyper Piper]

Wow, I really dig the colors and highlights here ! I recognize the lineart from earlier pics, but this is the ultimate coloration for this !

deathink responds:

Thanks a lot Kamikaye, it means a lot coming from someone with such a strong understanding of colors and lighting.

[Wan Paaaanch!]

You can be successful as a part time hero !
Really solid brushwork here, I like it. Direct and ambient light really show the material contrast of gloves and clothes. Nice, always a bit to learn when I see pictures like this :)

[Azure Atmosphere]

I really dig the translucent brushplay in the flowers and ghostly arms creating a similar texture and thus optical connection between those elements, at least for me :) Did you use SAI by any chance ?

AzurraMysteria responds:

Aww,thanks~
Yes, each of my digital works were painted in SAI
