Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Plush kitten]

This one's really cool too! It looks like a little squishy toy you could buy in a Japanese store. Very smooth and professional, I'm impressed.

ravensoulsp responds:

thank you so much

[Entrance to the cave]

Whoa, 3D! That's really cute!

Congrats on the front page!

ravensoulsp responds:

thank you :)

[Fight]

Once again, this seems like really nice rendering with an unclear vision of what it’s intended to be. Is it supposed to be realistic or stylized; is it focused on the action or is it meant more for fanservice (seeing how much you emphasized the druid’s butt)?

One thing I do like is how much motion is being conveyed with this artwork - through the energy effects, dynamic posing (though once again I feel the camera angle is wonky and makes the druid too big in frame and the others too small), the lava, etc. The colors also look good, and you’ve got a decent grasp of lighting. I just feel like you’ve gotta go find some other people to learn from now, rather than just trusting your own judgment and your drawing books alone.

ChaosPlayArt responds:

The butt was unintentional I swear to god. I only noticed how *noticeable* it is after coloring it lol. But hey....that is a nice butt after all.... And as for the sizes it is my attempts to show perspective and things like. how far they are. But I didn't succeeded in it and yes now they look like tiny people.

[Lilia. The unforgiven]

I like the design!

It seems like your art style doesn’t 100% know what it wants to be. Why not go talk to some more artists on NG and find ones who inspire you? Drawing books can only really teach you the rules - now you need to have a plan on where, how, and why you want to break them.

Love the design with the chains, btw, that’s creative.

ChaosPlayArt responds:

Well I was trying different stuff in last picture to just see what I like and I don't like. I mostly talked about it in latest analysis. As for other artists I am not sure. The people who inspire me are kinda popular and I feel self conscious to write them. Also I don't really know what to say to them lol

[Val the Wandering Firbolg]

Glorious poofy hair! Look at the shading on that amazing hair!

Honestly, the design overall comes across as really iconic - it's like good cartoon character designs in that it pulls no punches in making him memorable and recognizable. I also love the nonchalant pose and the normal-sized book looking tiny in his hands.

ZeTrystan responds:

Right? I thought knockoffgoblin's character design for him was top shelf, so I really wanted to draw him!

[OC Carrot Bunny Robot]

I LOVE IT, CAN I HUG THE BUNNY BOT?

Seriously, though, all the design elements work together so well, with the recurring use of round shapes with a couple pointy shapes thrown in but still in a coherent way. The shiny eyes also look really cool, stylistically.

JAEXERGUN responds:

Man, this is the best comment I've ever received for my work and designs. I appreciate the feedback, and of course you can hug the bunny bot :)
also, SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY :(

[[OC] Broken Robot Girl]

Absolutely love the way you portrayed the state of decay this robot is in. Looks wonderfully creepy. I love the dramatic shading as well.

UomoPolpetta responds:

Thank you! This is relatively old but it's still one of my favourites, I'm glad you liked it too

[Rain reference 2022]

Love the contrast in the color scheme! The pose as well.

UNCLEREGZ responds:

Thank you! I could do much better though, i'm still trying to fight art block atm.

[Mischief, finally Animated]

His body language alone makes me chuckle like I’ve just heard a witty line of dialogue out of his mouth. And everybody’s right, this is pretty smooth for 8 FPS!

Congrats on the front page! You’ve earned it :)

KediKatzen responds:

Wait - I got front page?? Ahhh, I'm flattered ;v;

[Trophy Queen Victoria]

Love her design and the combo of all the celebratory items (she's sitting in a trophy, her hair has prize medals, and she's holding a champagne bottle). That's awesome! Love the painterly style as well.

Unrelated, but I'm rather curious about how you came up with your username. Ever since I bumped into the website of an alternative clothing store called Blue Banana, I have suspected everyone who's referred to such an unnaturally colored fruit of being punk.

itsabluebanana responds:

Sorry for the very late response! Appreciate the compliments on the character design, I thought to myself that I'll be fairly straightforward in my design process for the Trophy Collab.

My username is basically my favorite color and favorite fruit put together.
