Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beany the Bean Mouthed Kidney Bean]

It looks less like the CalArts stereotype and more like Cuphead art style or even the original classic cartoon styles. (I think I’m seeing a theme as to where some of the influences of CalArts come from.) And it’s honestly a really good emulation of those rubberhose animated characters. Nice work!

[Amuro & Gundam]

Honestly, this isn’t CalArts’d to the point of being incoherent with the show, let alone disrespecting it! I love your sketchy line work and the fact that you kept the character proportions more appropriate for him even with a different style.

I don’t know if it was a parody, but this actually looks great!

[calarts vs newgrounds meme]

Honestly, those both look great. The one on the left could be used for simple joke artworks/animations of the character, or something like that.

[Yandere Sim Calart]

I feel like a little consistency could be achieved with the face shapes, but otherwise, you hit the nail on the head.

Zelgeist responds:

Thank you for your comment, appreciate it

[CalArts v. NG - Kay]

Ironically, you hit the “typical characteristics of classic Flash games” style right on the head (plus I love the angry face reference). The one on the left looks kinda like classic cartoons, actually, and I kinda want to see you try to mess with it just to see what it does.

[calarts vs newgrounds]

I wouldn’t call that the regular NG style, but regardless, damn that’s good! I want to go find whatever monsters you’ve drawn since this artwork!

["CalArts style" Sasha]

The butt looks a little weirdly proportioned (I understand you were trying to draw a large behind in a style that rarely, if ever, draws them), but otherwise, pretty faithful to the style without being an overly simplified version. Nice!

Actually looks decently smooth for something you don’t do a lot! Nice work!

UNCLEREGZ responds:

Thank you! I actually have some animation experience, but i'm often too distracted to finish something i work on...

[Upgrade that Johnny]

I just got through with playing it through again and this rocks.! It's got that comic book/cartoon feel - just the right balance of excitement and silliness.
