Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oolong Gym Badges (Pokemon Homebrew)]

Didn't know Pokémon had a role playing game! Very interesting. I love the flower theming and the icons!

Ah, my good friend, clipping masks.

Very powerful visuals here.

[World of Light]

If this is a personal vent, you get my virtual hugs.

At the same time, it's a really cool artwork and I love the technique you used for this. Seems like something I could try out.

[Paardbei]

This is so adorable and pretty, though! Has fakemon design energy.

[Blue Moon]

How do you render these curved shapes so well in pixel art? I'm really bad at it whenever i try that!

[Red Planet]

Pretty colors :O

[Wind]

Okay, the one thing you've got to realize is that people like, for example, me, who can barely do anything remotely digital painting-esque, are going to see this and think it's really cool, and that the visible brush strokes make it even cooler, like some parts are visually in focus and some aren't. So don't beat up on yourself for it. :3

Definitely look at Impressionist paintings to put your mindset into perspective - there was an entire art movement dedicated to rendering forms easily with loose brush work, just like this! And I think that there's still a place for loose strokes and lines, even in the realm of digital painting where the supposed "masters" are the ones who can make shit look like a frickin' 3D model in a League of Legends/Genshin Impact update trailer. (Most people who AI generate art want it to look just like that anyway. You're less replaceable.)

[Watching the Waves]

You did do a good job with the waves!

[Pagida]

You are really good at shading, this is cool!

[Doodle Dump (Nov & Dec)]

The doodles show that their designs are effective and simple enough to reproduce on a regular basis. Just a sign of your good work!
