Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Luca]

This is really pretty and ethereal. Hehe, I'm listening to "Ask the Mountains" by Vangelis as I write this, and honestly, the music goes with the painting very well. I love the bright pink and blue colors and the flowing background. If the pink and blue was part of her hair dye, then I like the choice you made to include that in the background as well as in the portrait. The face looks very realistic, so great job with that. Overall, awesome work!

[SHUT UP]

I'm curious to hear the story behind this one... You definitely nailed the vibe you were going for, although I can't look at it for too long or else my eyes hurt. :P

[processing]

I could easily see this in a game. I can almost see the sparks and water moving, they're drawn very dynamically. Awesome minimalism and great execution. You should keep trying out these new ideas!

This means a lot to me, thank you so much <3

[Voxel Power Cell - RTS concept]

This is awesome, both from a design standpoint an an execution standpoint! The way these are designed, they definitely would allow a player to understand instinctively just what they're looking at. I love the color scheme too.

[FLOOR GANG (Pewdiepie x #SailorMoonRedraw)]

BAHAHAHA this is hilarious! Very well done!

PkBlitz responds:

Thank you so much :D

[Mental Glitches]

Very well-done piece! I can actually kind of relate to this one - I often feel like I'm not actually processing what's going on around me. I like the color scheme here - it reminds me of the synthwave aesthetic, which is perfect for what's going on in the artwork. I like how you also put glitches in the hair, it furthers the general idea. Kind of makes me think of something you'd see painted on a wall in Meow Wolf. Overall awesome work!

[Musica]

I love this art! It's so pretty and I can really relate to it. It does an excellent job of conveying how it feels to listen to the kind of music that makes you feel good. Very well-done hair physics and shading, that's something I struggle with, so I'm always looking for good references. The glow and the bright colors were also very well-done. I've really got nothing to critique. Overall a great artwork!

Question: What are your music preferences? I'm interested to know. :)

skullchimes responds:

Thank you, :) for me rock/metal stuff is where it's at sometimes. A good beat and feel to get you going and bopping your head.
Also 80's ,or just music from around that time, music like disco beats and japanese pop are fantastic as well. People who edit modern songs to sound like it's from those times are doing a great job too so those are also nice to listen to

[Humanized Funtime Freddy and Bonbon]

Very well done. The only thing I suggest should be tweaked in the future is the speech bubble having the shadow over it. As it is a speech bubble, it's standardly in front of everything else, plus this'd make it more visible. Otherwise I love it, especially the freaked out expression on Funtime Freddy's face.

[Azula]

I have not seen A:TLA, I have heard of Azula, though, and that quote sounds like something I would have uttered during my edgy phase in middle school. Very well-done art! I especially like the gold trim. The shading on that must've been hard to master. The expression and pose are also very good. Great job!

PkBlitz responds:

Thank you so much ^^

[Howl]

Nice somewhat androgynous take on Howl... granted, looking back at screencaps, he does look somewhat androgynous in the original movie, too. Great art as always. I like the way you did the eyes and the jewelry through the shirt. I love the sky too. It makes it more... intimate, maybe? Like we're having a good conversation with Howl as a friend (or something). I love all of this. Good job.

PkBlitz responds:

Thank you! I'm glad that kind of warmth reached you, I was going for that in this painting
