Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Commission: Astrea]

This is weird, but I could tell she’s a Vtuber by the design alone before I saw the tags. I wonder if that’s because of design conventions that tend to happen throughout that genre of online content. Have you noticed any yourself?

Love the jumpsuit design! It’s simple but unique!

smashbrethren responds:

im not into vtubers myself even though lots of my friends are so I couldn't tell you exactly *what* their design conventions are but i totally agree that vtuber designs tend to be, well, distinctly vtuber-esque in that you can tell that's what they are before you even look them up. I want to say they tend to have very busy designs on the upper half typically since their torso+face is all people will see of them on streams, and so they tend to have very distinct hairstyles/accessories/tops. also i feel a lot of them like to use really *out there* color combinations, vtubers are a really saturated market atm so there's kind of no place for more understated designs because they'll fail to stand out in the absolute sea of cute anime girls/boys. these are all sweeping generalizations though and im sure there are vtubers, popular ones even, who dont abide by these conventions

This layout reminds me of a certain boomer shooter title screen, especially the pose of the guy with the gun. Love the retro feel overall!

LetItMelo responds:

Oooh man I wasn't even going for that but I totally see it!!

[Pico Saves Tankmas Panels!]

Really nice final product! It looks great!

[Neo Neko]

I like the interesting mix of feelings this evokes. It feels abandoned, but peaceful and ethereal. Some of the execution of painting the cat looks a bit wonky to me, especially inconsistency with the two light sources, but that’s just something to practice. Nice work overall!

TheDyingSun responds:

Thanks! And I can agree with the light sources issue. I might revisit it sometime soon. I like working with materials that glow internally but still have external lights on them, so I definitely have some practicing to do :)

[Thicc guide]

Love her design! She reminds me of your Pokémon humanizations.

Demonbloodpal responds:

thankiiiies!

[Delmin Big Ultimate Commission]

Love the colors a lot!

[Newgrounds Homies 2022]

Love the monochrome characters with the pixel look! Really cool combination I don't see a lot of!

[Monster concept art]

Reminds me of the Fisher King from Bleach, mixed with SCPs. I like the shapeshifting capability. This would be really cool in a game.

[POWER]

Looks awesome! I love the drippy effects.

[Demoncember 13 - Metal]

This is both made of metal and very metal. I love it! You should make album cover art.

Skoops responds:

I've done a few, but I'd definitely like to do more
