Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Patreon Sketches for September]

Whoa! Love these designs! Where'd the ideas come from, I'm interested to hear the story behind each one!

Edit: Ah, okay, haha! Still cool!

Cubesona responds:

Hate to respond with a boring story, but I didn't design any of these. I don't even know anything about these character other than "this is the character reference I was sent for this month". These are all OCs of other people except for the body horror mutant guy: he's a character from resident evil.

[Mikasa Ackerman - This world...]

Looks beautiful! I love the lighting and how it interacts with different materials such as the scarf and sword.

PkBlitz responds:

Thanks a lot :)

[ioruko the witch]

Hah, I saw the cat pumpkin in the back, that's a cute touch. I also absolutely love the colors and the outfit design here!

Ioruko responds:

Thank you! Nice to see my pumpkin cat did not go unnoticed :D

[Summoningder]

Aww. He just wants to be loved. Also, hello! :D

I love the stylistic and design choices you make with the characters and their speech bubbles and whatnot. Always really pulls the comic together.

ZeTrystan responds:

Well thank you! :D

[Hello]

That's frickin' cool. I love the lighting effects and the wind physics. Looks very dramatic!

ArtDeepMind responds:

I got carried away with all the wind, thank you!
I wanted it to have that dynamic feeling, like in anime

[Shade's Shaders!]

I suddenly got the idea of this being the equivalent of buying skins for a game where the player character is an abstract geometric being like a lot of your characters. I would totally buy the top left one and just become a walking rainbow.

The little nuances in these animations are fun - they really put a lot of character into them!

pInkmoth responds:

thank you :)

[Enemy counter]

I love the special flashy touches to these animations. They really add some pizzazz! I bet this is going to be a really beautiful game to play.

Ioruko responds:

Thank you! Trying my best !

[Normie Gary]

I just realized. Is the name “Normie Gary” that you chose for the human a play on “Bloody Mary”? That’s brilliant.

This’d also make for a fun story premise, actually. You get summoned to hell by bored teenage demons. Actually, that’d also be a great warlock backstory. Having a demon teenager as a patron would be great.

Awesome and well-drawn comic as usual. I love it!

ZeTrystan responds:

It is! With a friend, we tried to find one as close as possible to Bloody Mary haha.

[Information desk]

Yo, I love the robot design and the animation! It kinda makes me think of Auto from Wall-E or Portal robots, except without as realistic of rendering. Very menacing information desk employee. I wonder what place the info desk is for?

pInkmoth responds:

i was thinking it was something fairly mundane, like a mall. glad you like the design!

[cant catch me]

*Flight of the Bumblebee plays in the background*

That's interesting that the Shadow Queen can turn her head a full 360 degrees. It kinda furthers her spookiness/eldritch nature with the similarity to that bit in The Exorcist.

How do you manage to do animations like this where you've got something flying around and make it look so fluid?

pInkmoth responds:

the way i achieve the movements here is mostly with a handful of neat parentings and constraints. the good daughter is essentially orbiting a bone in the shadow queen's lower body.
