Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[More emotes!]

Is cringecore really an aesthetic? Please tell me it's an aesthetic, I need an excuse.

Glitched-up Ena is my favorite, but the zombie Sublo and Tangy Mustard were also a cool idea, haha!

Edit: Not getting much of an explanation, unfortunately, just examples and some hate for it?

SC4REBEAR responds:

Cringecore is more of an ideology! I can’t explain it properly but if you look it up you should find it!

[New batch of emotes!]

Shine looks better in these ones than in the originals, I'd say - it's less over the top while still having that intentional "bad shading" look.

I like the creative design elements you have here, such as Cassette Girl and P-Bot's eyes, the "DEATH" cassette, and the stitched together Skid/Pump!

[CreepyPasta emotes!]

What is cringecore, and how do I become initiated into it?

Either way, very fun emotes! I think the shine effect on anything is a little bit odd, especially with the Madness grunt, but I like the modeling aspects of it that work well with the Alien Hominid and Tankman.

SC4REBEAR responds:

Oh the over use of the shine was purposeful, a lot of “realistic creepy pasta” art does it a lot to make it seem real

[Book of Shadows]

Ooh, i love the effects! I'm guessing his patron is a Great Old One?

Also, do you have tips on how you make backgrounds like that that are this cool?

KediKatzen responds:

I actually do more simple backgrounds and then blur them slightly, and add a grainy layer between the character and the background to make it look a little more like a cell on a backdrop.

[Waterdeep - Harassing the Rogue]

More fake screenshot style art, yay! I love the lighting and colors, and the poses work pretty well.

Also, the rogue’s design is cool. Props to his player.

KediKatzen responds:

Thank you so much, I love doing the fake screenshot stuff ^^

[Scavenger]

Very cute! Love the tattoo.
I wonder what'd happen if you tried experimenting with shading that was less soft?

Edit: I mean like more dramatic shading that's not as smooth of a blend. Cel shading would probably be the way to go to that from here, I think.

ChaosPlayArt responds:

You mean like cell shading?

[FREE REQUESTS OPEN]

Cute little doodle! I like the hair! Are requests still open?

NanaM1 responds:

yep!

[Fears]

Beautiful. I feel like there's a few things that are a little off, but I don't know exactly what. I love the dramatic lighting and designs, though.

[Fields]

Yeah, I'd agree that there's some to be learned about shading here, with most of the drawing, but let me point you to the dress - you're already shading folds in fabric much better than I can! I also love the colors and the little trail of sparkles!

ChaosPlayArt responds:

Yeah clothes and fields here is probably the things I am mostly proud of thank you haha!

[Abadox]

This showed up in my results while looking for fanart of the Godzilla NES Creepypasta, and man, while this may not have been what I was intentionally looking for, it's certainly got a similar vibe! That body horror looks really intense, but also really cool. I love your lighting and shading for the picture here!
