Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mermay Day 8: Mother]

That's actually genius that whoever did the prompts put "Mother" as the prompt on Mother's Day.

I love the colors and style here. They make it seem so peaceful. Just a mom hanging out with her kid, with another on the way.

(And if anyone does make weird comments, my advice is that "acting creepy" is a legitimate reason to report reviews and get closer to having a shiny bronze whistle like mine!)

pluckyshroom responds:

haha i felt like it was kind of corny and on the nose, but it did make deciding on the drawing pretty easy!

i thankfully haven't had issues so far, but in the past whenever i did "motherly" themes in my art i always got One Guy being gross lmao so with any luck, i won't need to earn a whistle this go around >:3

[mermay day 6: doodle]

Beautiful colors and I love the jellyfish motif. Jellyfish space buns are the absolute best idea for mermaid design ever.

pluckyshroom responds:

they're just so bun shaped!

[mermay day 5: symbiotic]

I love how you based her off of a real-life symbiotic relationship in the ocean! The colors are also really pretty.

pluckyshroom responds:

thanks! i also considered those little birds that clean stuff out of crocodile teeth, but couldn't pin down how to depict that as easily. i'm kinda glad i went with this idea, though, the anemone arms were fun to draw ^^

[Mermay Day 3: Glossy]

I understand the feeling. Sometimes I try to replicate an image in my head without having any real plan and it gets really difficult.

This could totally be part of someone's makeup branding. You should advertise your services to people looking to have a mascot with this same type of vibe.

pluckyshroom responds:

it's a struggle man, i gotta be better about test running my shit before committing it to paper i always end up making more problems for myself when i don't lol

i appreciate it! most places looking for that sort of thing have weird scary contracts though, and while i know i have the skills, i don't yet have the network to advertise myself like that (not meaningfully anyway).

[Mermay Day 2: Siren]

She looks like if a Disney mermaid was a jazz singer. I absolutely love the vibe.

pluckyshroom responds:

aaaaaaaaaaa i would absolutely watch a film noir but make it mermaids

[Mermay day 1: Workers]

I love the designs, the colors, and the concept! It really makes me smile.

pluckyshroom responds:

thanks a lot! now that i'm a week in, i can tell how rusty i was when i started, but it makes me happy to look at, too. big cozy summer vibes 🌞

[mermay day 4: star wars]

Cute little mermaid Rey. And the starfish fighting with glowsticks. I love it. The colors are so pretty!

pluckyshroom responds:

it is "star" wars after all :3c they have to battle it out for the best rocks to bask on!

[Mermay day 7: Ghostly]

Jeez, this is amazing! How are you this good at both cute pastel things AND dark spooky things? I want to be like you.

Edit: Yes Mx.!

pluckyshroom responds:

cute pastel and spooky vibes are my only two modes, and i've been this way my entire life lmaO

grab all the halloween decor you can and throw glitter at it, live your best spooky-cute life!

[Duke Nukem ala Johnny Bravo]

Now we just need to get Gianni Matragrano (or another voice actor who does Duke impressions for shitposts) to say a Johnny Bravo line with Duke’s voice.

Love this interpretation.

Edit: *DA NA, NA, NA NA* Man, I'm pretty. *GUITAR RIFFING*

IamNoOneSpecial1 responds:

Deep, monotone voice: "Man, I'm pretty!"

[(EPILEPSY WARNING!) Spidey Vibin´]

*Cutesy Swedish singing with anime girls in the background*

That’s a well-executed meme if I ever saw one.
