Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Unknown]

There he is! I love the painting technique here, especially the brush work with the hair.

[IT'S THE UNKNOWN!! [2K24]]

There he is!

Love the rendering technique!

CobaltRogueX responds:

Thanks!

[SpinWeb (Spidersona)]

Kickass design! Love the rendering techniques here too!

[Caleb (Blood)]

I love the loose painting technique here, it looks gritty and matches the subject matter well.

[Faye & Kendra's Saw Trick]

Oh no, it’s murder. >:3

Love the expressions lol

[Conformity [2K24]]

This is deeply disturbing. Well done.

CobaltRogueX responds:

Thank you!

[Roadside 2]

This could either be nostalgic or bleak and dystopian, depending on how you contextualize it. But don’t mind me, I’ve got gritty forgotten industrial complexes and scarily identical buildings on the brain.

I love the sense of scale in here and the use of light.

[Chocolate Mascots]

Okay, so I saw this in my feed before I knew about The Unknown part, and I wondered what the hell that was in the thumbnail. But now I get it. X’)

He’s actually a damn cool design, and I think he could even fit into the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, considering Roald Dahl’s penchant for darker twists in a lot of his other books. He’d have to represent something, though, because of the morality play aspect of Dahl’s writing. Possibly the general paranoia that tends to consume the types of shallow-minded people that the other golden ticket holders are.

Anyway, childhood nerd-out aside: I love this pixel art rendering and how the meth Oompa-Loompa just sorta shakes, lol.

TomDoy responds:

the designs are unintentionally cool and more interesting than what it was going for. I'm thinking he's like no-face from spirited away or something to do with self image and mirrors

[Lupin III screenshot redraw]

The really cartoony face looks rather uncanny with your style of realistic rendering, seems like something to experiment with striking a balance on. Otherwise looks pretty good!

[Monstergirl design contest 2024 entry]

The design and concept are really cool! I'm... very tempted to try joining in the contest, but I already have a lot to do, lol.

Awd91 responds:

:D yup prioritizing is a good skill, and you could always just draw a monstergirl whenever without the time pressure.
