Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[animatic thingy]

The initial parts looked a bit stiff - like, to me, it would've been better if the closing eyes, blushing, and extended arms happened at the same time, and it looks especially stiff when Lapis does it. I also would've liked it if you'd had a few frames of them actually hugging, as it jumps from them extending their arms to suddenly being holding each other. In the frames where they're together, Lapis also looks a bit smaller in comparison to Sans than you've drawn her in the past. But you've definitely improved in terms of how you draw her from an anatomy/proportions standpoint, and the frames where she moves in to kiss Sans especially look pretty good. Glad to see you continuing to try out animatics!

LapisTheWolf responds:

tysm!

[Happy New Year 2.0]

Alright, who's the math teacher at this party?

Jokes aside, I love the humor in this comic and the way it's drawn. (After so many great funny comics from you, I'm running out of sophisticated-sounding ways to say "I like your comic", haha!) Nice work! Happy New Year! Here's hoping for a great 2021!

ZeTrystan responds:

Hahaha, well it's always appreciated!
And happy new year to you as well!

[Double Minded - LapisTheWolf]

The tears look a little cartoonish (I think it's the really bright blue), but I love what you did for the rest of the drawing. I especially like how Flowey's side of it looks much more chaotic and almost shaky than Asriel's side - it definitely illustrates their personalities, as well as the atmosphere of the player's encounters with them, very well. :)

Note - I'm not sure if it's necessary to put your username in the title of the piece, since Newgrounds's layout always puts the artist's username somewhere visible and close to the title (in that little box with the artist info, in the name of the browser tab, beneath the title where it shows up on the Art Portal.)

LapisTheWolf responds:

Tysm and I post these on twitter too which is why I put my name on each and every drawing just in case someone tries to pretend it's theirs(Which hasn't happened thankfully ) But , just in case XD

[Ivlis]

Congrats on the feature! Wow, I image searched Ivlis to look at his design, and you did such a great job taking a character who is normally drawn in a simple anime style and drawing him really realistically! And yes, you did owe this to yourself, after working hard and doing an awesome job on those Jojos!

PkBlitz responds:

Thank you sooooo much! And thank you for all the support as always!

[Firbolg Nap Time]

AAAAA IT'S SO ADORABLE

I love the designs of the little forest spirits! I want to hug all of them and Noah too! The lighting and colors also make this piece look very magical. Perfectly captures the feeling of lying down on a grassy hill in the afternoon sun.

ZeTrystan responds:

Well thank you!
Most of them are inspired by the real design of leshies, but I added my little twist to those, so happy you like them!

And it's perfect if it's the feeling you get. I managed to do it!

[Requiem of Dreams]

That is trippy as hell and I love it. Gorgeous color scheme and artistic style!

[Secret Santa 2020]

Wow, that is a horny Twitter handle if I've ever heard one. But this artwork is really well done, I love the rich color in the shading, especially where the hair is shaded. I also like how the milk becomes part of the background. Overall, well done! I'd make a joke here about an obscure, funny game I know that involves milk, but I'm not sure how well it'd work, haha.

[omega floweeeyy]

Great job drawing Omega Flowey, and I like what you did with the human souls! (I'll give you a break from the critiques again, I know I've been sending them a lot haha)

LapisTheWolf responds:

tysm! honestly I've never had someone be so nice about drawing so consistently !

[Vaporwave Cyana 2020]

Screw the haters! You don't have to conform to anyone's preferences (with the exception of legal stuff) - doing so means you're doing less of what you do best, which is being yourself. And even in the case of critiques like what I've given you before, which are purely artistic-related, I'm going to tell you a secret: you are free to approach those things at your own pace, or even ignore them if you'd like. It's your work, and your own heart and soul going into your work.

But anyway, look at how much you have improved since originally drawing this picture! I love the use of bright colors, it looks even more magical. It's like Cyana is recreating an old picture of herself - because of the differences in pose and expression, she definitely looks like she's gotten older and more confident since the original. Here's hoping for a great 2021 and more amazing and heartwarming art from PM!

[Meet you in 2021!]

It's good to see you back! I hope you're doing well too. I love this animated pixel art, it's beautiful and atmospheric, and so smooth! Your skills never cease to impress me! Here's hoping for a great 2021 on Newgrounds!

Ioruko responds:

Thanks so much! I'm glad my art makes you think so! Hope 2021 will be good to you!
