OmarShehata's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quarantined]

I love the tone here - how everything looks blue-ish and feels dimly lit.

Is it beautiful outside most of the time for you? I feel like that makes it harder..

[Mountain Morning]

I adore this. This feels very serene and peaceful.

Almost feels like a pixel-Bob Ross painting. Was that an inspiration at all?

Iviqrr responds:

I do watch a lot of Bob, so pretty much yeah. I wanna try oil painting in his style sometime soon, but until then I enjoy making these pixel art paintings ^^

[Never Give Up]

I was just going to ask how long this took you. It does feel really inspiring hearing you had this little thing that took a year to make, but you kept chipping away at it, and here it is, seeing the light of day, bringing joy to all who stumble on it.

How far into the final piece were you before you changed the ending? Did you have to throw away work or had you not gotten that far?

Luis responds:

It wasnt too far, i did throw out some frames but they were still roughs so i didnt really sacrifice a tone of stuff. It is nice to be done with it!

[Centipede]

I love it! Makes me want to see this thing in motion. Would be such a badass boss-fight, rolling underneath it's hundred legs as it launches at you!

How long did this take you?

Xaltotun responds:

Oh it would be awesome! All the little moving parts and imagine the loud metal sounds it would make to move.

Took me about a week and a half, from concepting to finish.

[Unnamed Game]

This looks amazing! What are you using to make the game?

[Pokemon Go]

I think it took me a second to get why that poop was there!

I do quite like that art style.

JunoAllStudio responds:

Thanks so much!

I love the bright colors and the shine on the sea! Would definitely love to see this with more work on the trees. I think a minimalist style could work well but this feels more unfinished.

[gas station]

Nice colors! I like how it feels so bright and spacious. The "fuck" is all but too subtle!

Sirmi responds:

thank you so much! I completely forgot that the fuck was there, lol.

[oh snap! waddup!]

I like how emotive the characters are! How long did this take you to make?

zattdott responds:

thanks! i wasn't keeping track, but it might have taken me about 4-5 hours to make

[BREAKING BAD]

That looks fucking awesome.
