Leboyo56's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[self portrait]

Ahh...

The literall meaning of Newgrounders being complete monkeys. Also, cool guitar. But I think it needs strings before it can make any music.

datamouth responds:

the guitar just shoots a constant note like a flute with one hole. or something like that. thanxxx!!!

And yet again...

At first I wasn't really drawn into this piece, but your description of the character made me reconsider my thoughts of this being inferior to your other works to being superior, like you have done so many times. They're so awesome to read! The only reason this is just shy from a favorite by me is because the head is tiny and awkward to look at compared with the rest of his body, but the pose is menacing and even somewhat funny at the same time. Keep up the great work, Jouste the Drawbarian!

[Clay Bitey]

Detailed

It looks like he's ready to kick the Fat-Sack clear across to the other table! However, his feet in some of the pictures look slightly strange and don't actually touch the table, so instead he's leaning on his heels rather than standing. Just fix them up a bit.

PikaRobo responds:

Oooooh... I was hoping nobody would notice that... :(

The explanation for that is that his legs are not very stable or well balanced. If you noticed his legs are slightly arched, and with the rather weak wire holding it all in place, I have to choose between making it look closer to it's animation counterpart, or revamp them to make him stand properly, so I choose detail over stability. This clay combination doesn't harden or get baked, so the only support is in the wires (two in each leg). Even with something to lean on he still had some trouble standing 'properly', and I was afraid that if I kept fidgeting with it, the two wires will break through the knees or something, and we don't want that do we. ...Can we pass it off as leaning?

Too lazy too read?: It's not as much fixing the figure, it's just the position. Making him stand on his hooves was just a tad difficult. But it's probably something that can be solved with a bit of effort. I could have it hang on to something so it gives that effect though...

[Clay Tricky]

Favorite!

It is true, the Clown can not be defeated! This one is even better than Deimos and Sanford! I don't know why this doesn't have a four yet, as it is now my favorite by you! I think the mask looks perfect, and the blood and bullet effects underneath it make it hard for me to decide whether I like him better with or without the mask on. Anyways, like usual, do Bitey. Blockhead would also be nice, though.

PikaRobo responds:

Thanks for your review, and I'm glad that you like the mask better then I do.

Anyways, like usual, I'm working on it. :P

[Madness Apocalypse]

Thanks for the PM!

This is Madness! lol, anyways, I never would have thought of checking this out if you hadn't messaged me, so be glad you did! The bloody and gory effects seem almost unrealistic for being created from clay; that's not a bad thing, I just don't see how you made it look so good! Also, the poses are very well put together, and you must've spent at least an hour alone trying to get every one in the position they are in each photo. Looks like PikaRobo has some competition, because I'm adding this to my favorites!

HongKongBong responds:

Haha I'm glad indeed! We spent hours and hours only on working at the bodies, so that's probably how we did that. And they're always in the same position cause it's glued in place, but yeah that also took 3 hours or something.
Thanks man!

[Clay Deimos]

Whoah!

I just saw your clay Sanford, and thought you'd almost never be able to best that piece of quality work, but you just outdid yourself AGAIN! At first I thought the visor looked a little mis-proportioned, but that I've I've looked at it from all angles, it looks really good! I especially love the fact you included a cigar; it's a little detail I bit a lot of people would miss. I also notice how nearly each episode of Madness starts out with someone smoking one, so it also gave it some more Madness feel to it. Awesome job! You still remain my favorite series-artist, and I just can't stop viewing your work! Keep it up! (Guess whattt?? Do Bitey. Plleeeaaasse)

PikaRobo responds:

I definitely PLAN on doing more. And Bitey is one of them, seeing how many requests I got for him. (I better make him good though...)

[Clay Sanford]

Wow!

Really cool! I wasn't even wanting a clay Sanford in the first place, but this is just plain awesome! I noticed mainly how it seems to be one of your most detailed figure yet (other than your robot series), and it perfectly matches Sanford from the Flashes, other than the little unda-bite he has in the series, but I see what you were going for there. Real great work, and I (again) hope to see a lot more from you in the future! Please do Bitey! :)

PikaRobo responds:

I don't really make mouths, so I left that out on purpose. But I am still glad you like my stuff. Another +1 for Bitey!

[Clay Girl]

To be honest

It's your worst piece, but that's my opinion, because I disliked Level Up. Seriously, how did it win game of the year?! I spent around two hours on it and hated the whole experience...anyways, keep up the clay figures! Do Bitey! Respond soon!

PikaRobo responds:

So... That's the ONLY reason why you think it's the worst? True it isn't the BEST figure in my gallery but the way you made it sound seems kind of biased. I didn't think Level up should have won either, but the only reason why I made The Girl was because that game won game of the year. If any of the other games won, they would have a model represented instead.

On another note, Bitey seems to be my most requested character. I guess I might get to it after a break.
