Reviews for "Madness Ascent"

Absolutely Amazing!

I Love How you made this! The red, black, and shading just seems to blend together and make an absolutely Marvelous picture. I'm and OCD Bastard so this just might be me, but dont you think you could have done a bit better on the head of the guy way up on top? :( Sorry D: Believe me, If my girlfriend wasn't alredy my background, THIS would be it

Nice

Wow, fantastic work.

thx :)

Just here to drop a review with substance.

It is good, that's clear to see. But there are a couple of problems. The main one being that most of the lines are sloppy. Most for the stuff in the background and the Tricky clown's sword. Which is also another problem, when has Tricky ever used a sword? I remember him having a stop sign usually. But either item looks badass when rising from a pool of a lava. Which I assume is under them and kind of doesn't make sense. By the way, is that Jesus at the top? It seems a little inappropriate to place him on that pedestal considering the Madness series revolves around Hank and the two other dudes for the '.5' episodes. But it's a good drawing, anyone can see that, the crows are a particularly nice touch. You'll most likely be in the top 5 if not first place, good job.

Thanks for that insight review :D

I just watched 30 mins of diffrent madness submissions for research before doing this. And occasional episodes before that here and then. Im not really into the storyline , but I liked the style.
Jesus had too many details and space for his head with hair and beard, I wanted to lighten the pic up to the top ,so I kept him a standart guy with a halo.

Maaan

I don't get why everybody's so brutal on this one. The line art lacks the crazy finesse the front page spoils us with, big deal. It's stylized personally and is a great tribute to Madness as a whole.
Who cares about specifics like the sword? It's awesome, and madness is all about being awesome without making sense half the time.

Either way, the background is fantastic, the line art is the only thign that could possibly use improvement/need cleaning/touching up.

Great

Oh wow this one was great and really intense with the kind of detail and action you want to see into madness. The background has this misty feeling to it almost like smoke and I enjoyed that very much for the change really love to see more blood tho. The birds and abstract background really works well together. The birds help you focus off from the complex background and back to the main madness images. Like I love the pencil like details and deep shading techniques you've used all over the piece in each aspect and each character down to the weapons and faces to the background. The theme here seems a bit biblical or something but not sure you intended to do that. It also reminds me of something John Woo would do in his action movies so it makes me wonder if you got inspired by him and his films tho the birds arent doves. The weapons and way each character holds them presenting themselves is great. You are good at displaying body language with action and violence. Good stuff and I would like to see more next time. I like the misty feeling it has still and I'm going to hope that next time Youll add that extra blood. Great job and keep it up with all this madness.
