ShangXian's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[🎪 Jax (The Amazing Digital Circus) 🎪]

I simply love the way you rendered him. You caught perfectly his personality through expressions and vivid colours. I love the chromatic aberration effect in the first version, it gives a nice touch of retro. The background is spot on, it gives the same feeling the original series gave me: a world full of wacky adventures that hides something more sinister or mysterious at least. Nice job with shading and highlights, they are vibrant and are eye-candy. Keep it up!

[Winged Fox]

I love the fairy tale-like vibe the composition gives me, starting from the colours of the background, the soft and warm hues of the sky, the strokes on tail fur and details of the wings. I see there are two versions, I like both but the second is my favourite one due to its vivid colours that render the image more defined and sharp. But besides this I like it a lot. Nice job, really!

[The Man in the Woods and His Loyal Companion]

I just love how the use of fluid movements on the fox blends nicely with the perspective that conveys the feeling of elegance and grace. The warm colours give this carefree vibe and what I like the most is that how the fox's snout is pointing out the sun as if it indicates the road to a new future or hope.

I also love how lighting and highlights along with the angle where we see the scene give a sense of gentle and orbiting movements. I admit that the entire composition gives me a nostalgia vibe when it comes to the forest and background. It reminds me of those adventure videogames I used to play when I was little, a period of absence of worries.

Really superb job!
