Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sana]

Ahh, it’s beautiful! I love all the effects.

[Reflection on my stupidity]

No, no. You have a point. Some mirrors in bathrooms that seem normal are actually tilted a little bit and make you look taller or shorter. I’ve seen those and thought, “wait, my reflection is shorter than me, what?”

[Mood Ring]

Oh dear. It appears you’ve freaked out your mood ring with your emotional state. You better start collecting other sentient items to form a support network/RPG inventory of your own.

Comic is funny and well drawn as usual!

I love that design, and you gave the artwork such a spooky atmosphere. Love the monochrome color scheme and the lighting! And hey, I know that song!

Just out of curiosity: You have two versions of the piece, one with the extra eyes and mouths and one without. Did you draw the one without them first, save it, and then make edits from there to create the one with them? Or how did that process work?

SketchMeNot responds:

Ah! Oh gosh thank you so much! I'm glad you like the piece! It was really fun to work o! (^w^)
Oh hell yeah! That's cool that you also know the song! It's very nostalgic for me haha x)

Ah! Good question! Okay, so I drew the normal version first and polished the outlines for it. Then, within the same file, I started sketching some ideas for where the spooky mouths and eyes could go that would look good with the pose. Then I drew them and polished their outlines.
I then made copies of the normal body part layers and color coded the layers to either be for the normal version or the body horror version. I masked out the parts of the body that would be affected by the spooky stuff on the new layers. To switch between the two, I simply hid the layers that were labeled with a certain color and unhid the layers with the other color, and vice versa.

I'm really bad at explaining this kind of stuff though, so apologies if it sounds convoluted x,D

Wow, another dark and dramatic piece with great use of light and shadow. It's kinda got a story to it that I want to find out more about. What is this child capable of and will this power be used for good or evil? It's interesting to think about the possibilities.

It's so beautiful! I love the colors!

[moj svet]

Another very atmospheric piece. Very ethereal. You made the plants and trees look so beautiful!

[black sun]

This is really atmospheric and beautiful, I love it. Just enough detail to be interesting, but not enough to be too busy. Dramatic contrast between light and shadow. I love it!

[Strange Pair]

These could easily be used as player-controllable characters in a microorganism-y video game. They just kind of have that kind of design. I would explain but I'm tired.

[TRUSTWORTHY TECH]

More cool designs, I really like these! The humor is also good as well. I love all the little touches like the robot's twitching face, the hover pads, and the prices changing to "free" and much cheaper but still expensive.
