Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Book of Shadows]

Ooh, i love the effects! I'm guessing his patron is a Great Old One?

Also, do you have tips on how you make backgrounds like that that are this cool?

KediKatzen responds:

I actually do more simple backgrounds and then blur them slightly, and add a grainy layer between the character and the background to make it look a little more like a cell on a backdrop.

[Waterdeep - Harassing the Rogue]

More fake screenshot style art, yay! I love the lighting and colors, and the poses work pretty well.

Also, the rogue’s design is cool. Props to his player.

KediKatzen responds:

Thank you so much, I love doing the fake screenshot stuff ^^

[Scavenger]

Very cute! Love the tattoo.
I wonder what'd happen if you tried experimenting with shading that was less soft?

Edit: I mean like more dramatic shading that's not as smooth of a blend. Cel shading would probably be the way to go to that from here, I think.

ChaosPlayArt responds:

You mean like cell shading?

[FREE REQUESTS OPEN]

Cute little doodle! I like the hair! Are requests still open?

NanaM1 responds:

yep!

[Fields]

Yeah, I'd agree that there's some to be learned about shading here, with most of the drawing, but let me point you to the dress - you're already shading folds in fabric much better than I can! I also love the colors and the little trail of sparkles!

ChaosPlayArt responds:

Yeah clothes and fields here is probably the things I am mostly proud of thank you haha!

[Angel Sitting at the Patio]

Dude, excellent grasp of shading and other elements in the Looney Tunes-ish style! Even the background looks really polished and like a painted background that you'd get in one of those animations! This is great!

Billy-SuperSkullz responds:

Thanks! That's the vibe i was kind of going for with her, a sort of old type of style (Kind of like a hybrid Hanna-Barbera, Classic WB, and Classic Disney)

[R U N]

I like the art style you usd here - it's pretty solid and everything's proportioned out well!

Funny enough, this depiction kinda makes him look like Redman from One Night at Flumpty's. And I love it.

V3-X responds:

Thanks dude for the feedback :D

[Double!]

I don’t really know anything about Skullgirls, but man I love me some good body horror. I love how fluid it all looks, with the gal in the middle being a visual anchor for it all. Swirly backdrop rocks too!

Catinyt responds:

Thanks!

["The Penilian's Hive"]

I love the concept and the ideas behind the pictures! I'd recommend some practice with lines so that they're less wobbly, as well as spacing things out and use of perspective so that characters aren't crammed into spaces that make them harder to see. You've got a really interesting story there, though, so don't give up on your creative and artistic pursuits!

PrincessElis responds:

Thank you! And yeah, my drawings aren't the best lol (especially with lines)

I might be continuing this story though, since I kinda find the concept a bit interesting myself (which is ironic, considering I basically called it shitty lmao).

[Zombie GF!!]

Updated review:
Design looks really good (props to AnaPijamas) - some of the visual elements and colors remind me of Rottytops from Shantae, and they really work the way they've been put together here.

Art wise, I wouldn't have gone with the chromatic aberration on the whole character, as it makes her look out of focus, but the effect is a nice touch regardless! Some programs have perspective chromatic aberration, where the effect increases the further it gets away from a point (such as the face) where it's supposed to be most in-focus - depending on the situation, I prefer that to normal chromatic aberration.

MD00dles responds:

I use chromatic aberration general im not so good editing that stuff for now buuuut I'll investigate more to do a better efect with that uvu thanks!
