RiflemanJoe's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Golem vs Mech]

That's going straight into the Favorites.

I love it. I've always like the rough brushstrokes style of art, and this picture is just too cool to put into words.

[New TF 2 Class - Rifleman]

Interesting...

I guess that I'm the only one that'd like to see a class like the Rifleman.

I guess it comes to play style preference. I love TF2's personality, but I can't play the game. I can never find a class that I like. I think it comes down to being too used to the adaptable play-style that you get in Halo and other shooters, so the class based system of TF2 doesn't work for me.

Back to the artwork, I think he fits in well with the art style, although he looks more French than English to me.

[Braid box Art Illustration]

Read for Review

One of the best Arcade games ever in my opinion. Art combined with good music never goes wrong.

I have two points I wish to bring up. One is that Tim looks a bit... odd. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I can't help but feel as though it looks off. The second is I'm not sure what the crying girl is supposed to represent. Could you perhaps enlighten me on that?

Overall your work is fantastic, and I think it would look great as the box art to a great game.

Drakxxx responds:

Thanks very much man!

I decided to do an illustration of Braid for a design contest, but unfortunatly didn't get a chance to play the game. I based it around images and what I read the game was about.

I drew the crying girl to represent the role she plays to the main character. I figured a crying princess type character would give the impression that someone needs rescuing.

Again, thanks so much for checking my stuff out and for your thoughts. >)

[HEAVY LIKE SANDVICH]

Awesome

Just friggin' awesome. It'd be inappropriate to actually give criticism or any form of useful feedback, because "Awesome" is probably the best way to describe this.

A cookie for you.

[Stracci Famiglia red trench]

Reminds me of Tim from "Braid"

Very good detail on the wrinkling of the clothes. Especially on the back shots. Looks very detailed.

Well done!

DonStracci responds:

Thank you for the review, and Braid is one great game with superb graphics , althought I'll have to improve myself to be able to do such great visuals.

Thanks again.

[bros before ho's]

Indeed.

Excellent work. Satan looks so cute and yet so absolutely fucking creepy I can't help but laugh.

The duck bow-tie was a nice touch as well. Good work!

sucho responds:

it was either that or chocolate easter bunnies

[Repost- Entry- GC-contest]

The Sticky Note

It had words on it.

Anyway, I think this one is funny and adds a good twist to the story compared to many of the others I've seen so far.

Impkid responds:

Yes it was ! that was the problem, but its FIXED.
thanks for your review

[Ezio]

Awesomesauce

I think this is a very cool piece. The "smear" effect adds an interesting effect to the rest of the drawing, making it look like it's in a dream.

Also, it makes a kick-ass iPhone background. Thanks! :D

[SDA v3.0: Comic #2]

Title

I love the face in the last panel. On a similar but unrelated note, you do well with facial expressions in your art style.
