Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[Glory to arstotzka]

The syncing seems a bit weird, I'm not sure how it's supposed to look, can you clarify? Otherwise, this is an awesome tribute to a fun game!

Sorapoi responds:

It was supposed to have a smooth flow from the top to bottom, but I didn't realize/see the issues until long after I've finished the piece. And thanks!

[Historia]

Wow, what a beautiful painterly style - it even looks like an actual painting! A good fit for the character, at least, that's what I think based on the design. How did you make those "paint on canvas" effects?

Sorapoi responds:

Photoshop bevel effect!

[Azuri]

Nice work with the pose, as usual.

[Maid Ideac (lol)]

Ah yes, gotta love some good old-fashioned drag.

[Theory of Fantasy]

Nice to see you back! This is quite pretty. How do you come up with these abstract pieces?

[Pure Light(SjälTale) - LapisTheWolf]

You did a nice job with the background again, and I love the various designs of Lapis's outfit that I've seen you use. I do, however, have a few nitpicks about the execution of drawing the characters.

Unfortunately, Ink Sans kind of looks like he's about to fall over. I'm not sure how I'd recommend fixing that in the future - perhaps draw a vertical line where his body is supposed to go before you start drawing him? Also, for the area between Lapis's arms and chest, there should be a curve connecting the two (armpit area). (It took me a bit of time as I learned over the years to figure that out myself!) In general, it seems a bit like her shoulders are too broad in comparison to the rest of her, or the rest of her is too thin in comparison to the shoulders. Once again, I recommend paying close attention to reference images to figure out things like this.

Despite these minor things, this picture has a lovely atmosphere, and I greatly enjoy your work! Honestly, if you were to work on being more consistent with proportions and positions in the future, it would instantly look a lot better, because you've already got shading and a lot of other things figured out really well! Happy early new year, and keep drawing! :D

LapisTheWolf responds:

Thank you so much! I'll start using the refrences to fix the posture and the arm things going XD

[Commission for Magana]

I like what you do with the different line colors. I'll have to figure out how to do that myself (haven't been able to figure it out just yet.) Any tips?

IDeactive responds:

you just have to select the outline layer and colour it!
and then you get a darker colour and done

[PRETTY ENOUGH]

I like what you did with the typography and the translucent hearts!

anewworldfool responds:

ty! i was very tired when i did this but it didnt come out half bad :]

[Can I Love You Forever?(SjälTale) - LapisTheWolf]

The background on this one is really pretty. I'm not entirely sure about how Lapis looks in terms of anatomy (the body more than the face) and whether the leaning-on pose is accurate (currently have an image search for "leaning on chest" pulled up and I can't find any that are leaning backwards), but you have done a pretty consistently good job with how the versions of Sans that you put in your pictures look, and I love the color palettes you use! Keep drawing and practicing!

LapisTheWolf responds:

tysm!
