Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fight]

Once again, this seems like really nice rendering with an unclear vision of what it’s intended to be. Is it supposed to be realistic or stylized; is it focused on the action or is it meant more for fanservice (seeing how much you emphasized the druid’s butt)?

One thing I do like is how much motion is being conveyed with this artwork - through the energy effects, dynamic posing (though once again I feel the camera angle is wonky and makes the druid too big in frame and the others too small), the lava, etc. The colors also look good, and you’ve got a decent grasp of lighting. I just feel like you’ve gotta go find some other people to learn from now, rather than just trusting your own judgment and your drawing books alone.

ChaosPlayArt responds:

The butt was unintentional I swear to god. I only noticed how *noticeable* it is after coloring it lol. But hey....that is a nice butt after all.... And as for the sizes it is my attempts to show perspective and things like. how far they are. But I didn't succeeded in it and yes now they look like tiny people.

[Lilia. The unforgiven]

I like the design!

It seems like your art style doesn’t 100% know what it wants to be. Why not go talk to some more artists on NG and find ones who inspire you? Drawing books can only really teach you the rules - now you need to have a plan on where, how, and why you want to break them.

Love the design with the chains, btw, that’s creative.

ChaosPlayArt responds:

Well I was trying different stuff in last picture to just see what I like and I don't like. I mostly talked about it in latest analysis. As for other artists I am not sure. The people who inspire me are kinda popular and I feel self conscious to write them. Also I don't really know what to say to them lol

[Psychokinesis]

Love the stylistic choices here! The pose, lighting, color scheme, and the way the powers look all make this kinda horror-ish in a tasteful way. I like it.

[my little picos school]

YES! THIS EXISTS! I'm so happy. I said "my little Pico" once as a joke and suddenly started wondering if it was a thing on NG.

Love your art style and interpretations of the characters!

[REVENGE]

Hmm, brown hair. Also like how you interpreted the shirt design as a hoodie (and put the pentacle in its correct position, lol).

[The G-Squad]

Aha, there's the bios you posted elsewhere. Still love your concepts of the characters, especially the comedic contrast of Hanzou (visible in the picture as well).

[Darnell]

I love your interpretation of his shirt as a hoodie. Attention to detail with things like the headphones and your stylistic choice for his hair is also great here too.

[Cosma in space]

Cuteness, pretty colors and effects, an alien in a sci-fi uniform, and a creative character design and concept. This is it, I've found my favorite Newgrounds submission.

Welcome to NG! I see a lot of good stuff ahead of you!

[Val the Wandering Firbolg]

Glorious poofy hair! Look at the shading on that amazing hair!

Honestly, the design overall comes across as really iconic - it's like good cartoon character designs in that it pulls no punches in making him memorable and recognizable. I also love the nonchalant pose and the normal-sized book looking tiny in his hands.

ZeTrystan responds:

Right? I thought knockoffgoblin's character design for him was top shelf, so I really wanted to draw him!

[Cassandra]

This design's pretty cool! I like it when people use artistic liberties 'n' stuff and come up with new outfits for existing characters. It makes it even more unique than just fanart!

Love the flame background as well. Lines are a little weird in some places, but that's just a practice thing as usual.
