LinkDoodles's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Gravedigger (T-shirt submission)]

Honestly this is the type of piece that makes me wish I had spent more time working on my design, because this is excellent all around. The color palette is great, your idea is super clever and uses a lot of arty imagery, and the final product has a lot of character and life to it. Maybe this is a personal nitpick, but I'd like to see what it might look like with the outer lines a tad bolder, or at the very least an even width for all parts of the image— it can be a little thin in some areas, especially looking at the preview. However, I still think this is an excellent design, and I totally would get this is if is a contest winner. Very well done, I wish you the best of luck!

EvanScale responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Glad you like it.

Its true i thought the same about the outline (mainly the even width around it). Maybe i could have done a more thorough job there.

[The Sketch Is Always Better Than The Lineart]

Such a simple design, but I have to say I love it! It's very relatable too, and I like how you laid everything out, including the art supplies. The blue sketch line is also a great addition— I did the same on my entry as well! My only complaint is really a typography nitpick— did you use Papyrus for the word "Sketch"? A lot of designers will avoid using that font, since it's pretty overused and unprofessional. While I don't think it's a dealbreaker for most people (I'm just a dork when it comes to typefaces) I'd suggest maybe looking around for other handwritten or sketchy fonts if you ever do a design like this again. I don't know newgrounds' rules on suggesting offsite links, but if you look up "dafont" you should find a site with free fonts you can use in future designs. Like I said, though, this really is a nitpick, and I still think I'd get this shirt if it was for sale. Good job, hope this helped for the future!

Oh my god you made me so happy! I NEVER GOT A COMMENT BEFORE LOL! I'll keep the font thing in mind tho! I just thought it looked sketchy so it was a good idea! ^-^ If i don't win tho , I can make it for sale on my own :p I'd love to link you if you would be interested IF I DID DO IT but really JUST THANK YOU SO MUCH! you made me sooooo happy I never got a comment or even i 5 stars <3 I LOVE YOU

[Let's beat the devil out of it!]

This is such a cool design! I love how you characterized Bob Ross, and everything is so crisp and energetic. The only real complaint I have is the lettering— when the text goes through different lineart, coloring, and the negative space of the shirt color, it can be a bit hard to read. I'd suggest either adding a white back (or other bright color) to the text or just keeping it as the shirt color, testing a few options to see what works best. Either way, that's a small complaint to an otherwise really cool design, and I'd probably get this if it was on sale. Good job!

Thank you, It would be awesome if it was noticed by Jazza, I will be happy to see his reaction to Buff Ross :D. In case of the text you are 100% right, I should have used one solid color for the greater readability, it's a good advice :)
I also saw you tshirt design and it's so awesome :D I would wear that, I dig space themes and the quote from your shirt is lovely :D Anyway, good luck to us both ;)
