Reviews for The Elegant Parasite Black

[NekoMika]

Nice story and pic

This actually kind of looks like a snake with a messed up head and having claws and arms as well. So it's a raptor snake possibly? I don't know. This just looks cool though.

The good of it is it looks like you spent detail and attention drawing this.

Probably the only bad part about it is it seems it could do with having a background added to it, that would make it look pretty cool if you ask me.

Cool,

Thanks for the review, I wanted to make the creature insect like, kind of like a praying mandid.

Thanks,

I like it

it's very simple not so heavy with details and color like every one is always worried about.

Very Good

I really like your work, your Cool Jaw flash was really great. But, I always find it hard to describe it, because your work has this abstraction to it that works very well, but its very hard to explain why (for me anyways).
I like how there's some simplicity here, for a logo it shouldn't be significantly complex. It definitely has a form of something sinister, but with an apprehensive aura that I think of when i see the word elegant (I think of something watching and biding its time, which I think relates)

Celx-Requin responds:

The elegant parasite was going to appear in a new comic book series I was working on, which unfortunately will no longer be coming to newgrounds.

Thanks for the review though!

Good logo

Well, as others have stated, this pic doesn't have a lot of details. But it's ok for a logo. I mean, just look at the Nike logo, for example. Where's the detail in that? And yet, everyone who sees it instantly recognizes the brand.

So, for a logo this creature as quite a lot of details. However, the eye looks a bit weird. I think it should be placed a bit more on the forehead and maybe even be a little bit bigger.

The mouth (or the teeth) look a bit strange as well. Also, I can't really make out the facial expression. The creature looks a bit sad... head hangs down, the eye has a very sad look... maybe you could try to give it a more "agressive" pose?

I always thought he seemed happy not sad.

I actually have a commission I did with this character, I'm gonna see if I can get the person I did it for to send me a picture of it so I can trace over it using flash, the creature is depicted significantly more aggressive in that picture.

Thanks,

Nice logo, more detail required.

This isn't a bad piece, but it looks like you've gone and put in a distinct lack of background, which does somewhat put me off. If you've going for this to be an ident for your flash animations, perhaps you could have it animated in just a few seconds, so that it leaps out of the page at you, with this image as the finish point.

There are some pretty good details in the outline of the piece, but as for the body, it seems devoid of them, which is probably the main issue I have with you drawing style, as a whole. Perhaps a few flashes of white across the body would just give you the detail that you've got from the outline, but being careful not to go mad, as I know your style is minimalist.

With how it all looks, in the action pose, I might have expected something like blood dripping from those 'shear-like' claws that just gives a more distinct impression of malice, as opposed to the borderline insane that it currently shows from a casual glance at the facial expression.
