So, I got a PM on Newgrounds from someone asking my opinion on their art and how they might improve. I ended up typing a bit of a novel and I thought I’d copy it here in the hope that it might help out some other people too.
*************
Let me ask you two things, first of all, is my ART THAT BAD? i mean, i know that i suck, but i’ve seen worse on the Art Portal, i mean, its not worthy not even 3 Stars? xD
Second, dude, seeing as you are an amazing ilustrator, what do you suggest for me …

Eye popping visuals.
“Art games.” The very name makes me break out into an angry sweat! For some reason calling it art means a person is allowed to put less effort into making a game fun. “Oh, it’s frustrating on purpose! It’s a comment on the futility of existence!” Well great, then I’ll leave you a zero as a comment on the futility of your design efforts.
What brought on this tirade? PixEvo. It’s a game that, seemingly, was designed to be as horrible as possible. The game is full of mandatory collectibles, …

I added tentacles and did a lot with the face. The eyes look a lot nicer now and with the tentacles I think it looks kind of regal. Maybe I’ll give it a crown. :3
Still not sure where it’s going to be. Originally I was thinking a field of flowers, but now it seems more appropriate to have him basking in the ocean …

Spent a few more hours on this. The colors on the last layer weakened a bit as it dried, so I added another layer on what I’d already done with the skin. It was also a bit too red because I’d painted it at night with false lighting on it.
I added freckles through an interesting progression of associations. There was a funny little bump on the forehead that looked like a mole, so I painted it brown and added another one by the ear. Then I thought it would be fitting for there to be freckles and they seemed to work …

Well, this is officially my main website now! If you came here from Particlasm (which I suspect most of you who are reading this have), welcome! The old links from there will stay up for a while but I’m not sure how long, so if you have any games in your bookmarks you should switch them over.
Let me know what you guys think of the new site. I still have stuff to add, so you can expect more …

I originally made this blog intending to put WIP pics of my paintings on here, so I figured it’s high time I actually did, lol!
I really have no idea where this picture came from. I had another painting started on this canvas and after developing a loathing for it I attacked it with a lot of random colors to destroy it. I think this current iteration arose from feelings of deep satisfaction; which might explain the strange little smile on the thing’s face. I know it has legs right now, but it might actually be a snail. …
