OviManic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Year of the Dragon 2024]

I always have a fear of markers in making traditional art because most of the colors don’t have a good fade to them, but apparently Ohuhu is an exception!

I received the 320 pack for Christmas from a relative. It was a lot easier to pick a palette that permitted smooth shading than with a smaller pack (I used 4 reds, 4, yellows, and 3 red grays). Key to smooth shading is using the right paper, working in sections, working from light to dark, and keeping the part you are currently shading saturated with the solvent. I def recommend checking out tutorial vids. That's what I did LOL.

You can look at some of my marker drawings from 2021 and see my work was a bit more splotchy/blocky. That's cuz I was afraid of using up all the pigment since I only had 20ish Copic markers and couldn't get many refills during the pandemic. Also, sometimes I just used regular sketchbook paper lmao. Copic markers are so expensive since they're imported from Japan, but there are MUCH cheaper alternatives that are just as good. (Ohuhu are made in China.)

Gives a nice impression of Mario never changing since 1985 but the whole world around him has!

One thing I cannot fault Japan for, is them knowing how to make cute mascots!

[Hnauts Size Lineup]

All of these look like they have plush potential! Even the big guy!

[Dragon lava lady commission]

And everyone else below her are pretty dead!

[Ritchie and Rigo]

I can definitely see these two barking against ANY passerby!

[Quick Cruelty Squad]

If that’s the main character, I can see why the whole game environment is messed up through his eyes!

[Belmont Strut]

His mogging cannot be surpassed, not even the spawns of hell can complete!

[Vertical Bike City]

Where wheelies are twice as hard to pull off!

Kamikaye responds:

Indeed ! :)

[Pokémon RS x Fire Emblem]

They’re joining forces to make themselves cooler than Palworld!
