Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bee Queen]

Absolutely love this design! Simple but distinctive, and kind of has an old cartoon feel.

[orange samus]

I love the colors and the way you drew her hair!

[Marsupial Makeover]

Definitely improved. I like the new design better as well, but the second also just looks more artistically mature, if that makes any sense. The shading and the shapes have improved in a lot of places, it’s easy to tell you’ve grown.

[A free-use alien font]

The designs of these are pretty cool! I could easily see the curved shapes still being recognizable when drawn as geometric shapes (with the stone carving tools). I just think the letters align with the Latin alphabet a little too much to be properly alien at times, but that can just be fixed by swapping some of them.

Have you considered turning this into a usable font file?

sincronikon responds:

I did consider making it TTF, and then promptly forgot, lol. For this one, having them align with Latin was part of the plan, to leave it half-way guessable. I've also got an earlier set of ideas that's far more "alien", with less restrictions on shapes. I'll see if I can get around to doing them both up as actual fonts this week. Thanks for the nudge ;)

[Hicks at the Mall]

I feel like it’s a bit too airbrushy throughout and could use a little more solidified lighting (maybe that’s just me trying to see through all the smoke), but I love the composition, colors, and overall experimentalism!

sincronikon responds:

You're too kind ;) lol. The excessive softness is real - 90% of my stuff ;). It's partly airbrushes, but I finally clued in -- it also happens due to working at @ 4K pixels with low-res brushes while zoomed out. Only took 6 months to notice, lol.... As for lights: still figuring out how to do strong lighting, you bet!

[Land scape practice]

I feel like some of the lighting is a little bit airbrushy, and too blurry for how in focus it should be, but otherwise it looks great! I especially love the sense of perspective that the car lends to these huge rock formations! Be proud of yourself!

[New Banner!]

This is adorable and so well put together, both color wise and shape wise! You’re like a little Animal Crossing player who just so happens to be a black magic practitioner.

Bleak-Creep responds:

That’s it, that’s my whole vibe; a black hearted softie.

[Cult of the owl]

Oh my God! I didn’t know you were on NG! I remember @ZeTrystan linked your other social media and I always thought your art was so cool!

Absolutely love the blocks of color here. In this context, the vibrancy really adds to the eerie feel.

Yonsoncb responds:

Hahaha thanks! I'm almost everywhere with the same handle xD

[Twitter Commission 2022- The Tailor]

Excellent illustration and properly hideous! I love all the textures!

[Cult of the Sugar Glider]

Okay, that is adorable and wholesome, and I love it. The lighting and color contrasts really bring out the magic of the regrown plants!

And good point - they certainly didn’t say you couldn’t have a non-harmful cult!
