Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Adoptables: AstrologiCats]

Ack! I don’t have Twitter (which I guess is for the better, considering I never know what to do with characters I get from other people) but I love those character designs! Each one shows an interesting personality and motifs, and I like the different numbers of eyes! Hope they find a good home!

Edit: YOU KEEP DOING REALLY CLEVER THINGS WITH CHARACTER DESIGNS, I LOVE YOUR BRAIN

KediKatzen responds:

Thank you ^^ I tried to make the eyes relative to the number of moons each of them has.

[Sona!]

Whoa, that's impressive. The colors are really cool, and I love the unique design. Nice work!

MetaGrif responds:

Thank you!

[Grim]

Love your designs, and I also love the little… ghost cat or whatever it is. I imagine there’d be many moments of adorableness as Grim takes care of this cat.

Edit: OH MY GOD THAT'S GENIUS

KediKatzen responds:

He loves cats, it's why he gives them nine whole tries.

[Riojo Alt Costumes]

Love the designs and descriptions of how to get them so much! Is this an actual game in the works?

Cubesona responds:

I'd like for it to be a game one day, but there aren't any real plans for that now.

[More commission]

Nice job! I like the stylistic choices here, as well as how you did the highlighting and shading.

IDeactive responds:

Usually i use some special brushes that blend colours together
And then i add shading to the lineart but making an overlay layer and blurring it a little bit

[Eris]

The face seems a little out of whack, and I’m not sure what it is, but I love the design. The black with bluish-silver armor looks particularly cool.

KediKatzen responds:

Thank you ^^

It might be the angle, I want her to have a very sharp face, but if it looks kinda off then I'll have to be more mindful with how I draw it.

[No assassins here, just focus on the ChunkoPop's]

I happened to look at the Wikipedia page of Cruelty Squad and it seems really weird, but very interesting as well. Nice job with the blood on the various surfaces and the refractions through the glass. You also did a good job with the Pop figures - they look a little dead inside, but that works for the artwork, haha.

BoJustBo responds:

Weird is too weak a word for Cruelty Squad ;P
And when didn't pop figures look dead inside? Isn't that their most prominent feature lol.

[WuShang Brawlhalla]

Man, I don't know anything about Brawlhalla really, but I absolutely love the dynamic use of perspective, pose, and the magic flowing through the picture! Great realism as always.

ArtDeepMind responds:

You always give really well constructed feedback and I appreciate it. Thank you very much :)

[Lucy the librarian.]

How the heck did you pull this off? I've seen interesting character designs in Blender, but this is on another level entirely. Love the candle-based design and the colors!

Primolump responds:

First of all I appreciate the compliment,thank you it's stuff like this that keeps me going.

Well it started as a regular drawing that I separated to 3 parts which I put on a plane mesh with the height and width that matches the image resolution. And I seperated them and moved them around a bit.

The flame was a tear shaped mask that has a procedural fire effect that I looped, I also used the same mask on the eyes and just squished the mesh for the blinking effect.

I had problem with the alpha of the image made the outline look blocky(I have to use a low resolution on my drawings otherwisemy phone crashes) I might look into using an AI resolution upscaler for smoothing thing out if I decide to do this more in the future.

[Wiggle]

I can tell the frame rate is lower than the other one, and once again there's that small jerkiness where the animation loops (I see it most in the tail), but it looks pretty smooth otherwise!

KediKatzen responds:

Yeah, I was going with 6fps, I might take the time to make something else for a stream border instead. It was a learning experience, but I don't know if this is quite it for a border, y'know??
