Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gaz and Gir]

Looks really good! What I’d recommend you do for future drawings is use pose references, or even print them out and trace the basic shapes of the pose. I feel like she’s standing a little stiffly, so maybe that can help. I know a lot of good places to find pose references, so let me know if you need help!

(Shoutout to @corpsecake and @HatiValcoran who both introduced me to Invader Zim)

Really nice rendering - you seem to have improved a lot even since the last artwork you posted! Keep it up!

Theinkguy responds:

Appreciated man.

[Chocolate Sin]

Very well rendered! One tiny nitpick I have is that “adult themes” should’ve been clicked in the rating category.

[Pro]

The face looks a bit lopsided and I’m not quite convinced by the way you drew the squished part, but the rendering and everything else look really good! Might be good to look up a reference in the future.

[Pixel Dolls | Forest Lords | Voidwalker]

I saw your post about not getting much feedback, and I agree that your work is very niche, but digital paper dolls are exactly my niche and I’m glad I came up check it out.

Well done overall, you rendered the details well with this style. My one point of confusion is why you posted screenshots of your own work - did the originals come out too small or similar? If so, I can help you figure out how to upscale your drawings in Piskel, that’s what I use for pixel art myself!

Maybe one way to get yourself some attention would be to team up with a programmer and make an entry for my Costume Jam, which is a game jam focused on dress-up games and virtual paper dolls like these. It ends on the 31st, so you’ll have time, there’s no judging stage, and I’ll be posting about all the entries that are made once the jam ends!

shadowfals responds:

Thank you for your feedback on this!

With too many things breaking around me, I don't think I can contribute to the Costume Jam. But that seems really fun! I'm looking forward to seeing what dress-up game creators share this month.

In answer to your question about the screenshots—I can't access the project files, currently. I was removing the posts from the Mastodon instance, so I put those up as placeholders until I can pull up the original images again.

Update on Oct 24, 2023: I've replaced the first screenshot. The rest is staying for my convenience... with the assumption it's not bothersome for others.

Update on May 4, 2023: No more screenshots!

Feels like it could be a comic cover, honestly! The ladder was a bit hard to tell in the cracked mirror version, but I can definitely imagine that something like that is hard to figure out.

Guileness responds:

Thanks! And yea, that ladder was a bit tricky. Probs should've added some steps to the front after all.

[Inktober XII: Pumpkin Spice Girl II [2K23]]

Looks like she could be a Purge character, perhaps, or something else slasher-related. Really cool design and style!

CobaltRogueX responds:

Thanks!

[Open wide]

In before the Omori comments saying she looks like one of the characters.

I love your style, I absolutely have to follow you.

[Gamers love objectives]

One of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned from gaming is that it’s not your failed attempts that matter, it’s your new personal bests.

But yeah, very well drawn and especially the punch line lol

[specs' fall drip]

Is a Specs! I love the way you drew her hair for this one, the gradient effect is cool!
