Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[NieR Replicant]

Dude, that's so awesome - both the art and the fact that you were commissioned this artwork by the actual voice actor! (How cool is that?!)

I love the lighting angles on the artwork combined with the wind physics and the background, it gives it kind of a dreamy feel. Great execution on the painting itself as always.

PkBlitz responds:

Mah man! Thank you so so much!! I'm glad you liked it :D

[Kapybear]

I want to pet the soft fur, but it looks a bit muddy. I think I'll wash this critter off first.

Once again, excellent and adorable design! Very unique-looking, too!

ZeTrystan responds:

Gonna need a lot of soap, ahahah.

[a spiky]

Really cool, smooth animation! How the heck did you make all those spikes move like that? Was it point by point, or did you use some kind of Blender physics?

pInkmoth responds:

modifier magic

Really late review, but I love this! How did you do the sparkly effect on the dress, and how long did it take? Cool background too with the colored light sources in the back - almost a neon vibe, like a club.

pInkmoth responds:

Sparkly effect was a procedural normal map! And thank you :)

[Guardig]

Ooh, I like the grass/steel combo! I definitely see where you're using the steel aspect of it by including that hard shell - it wasn't as obvious of foreshadowing as the white and brown bits on Inferal and Kapycub, respectively, but I do get where that was going. And I love the square grass blades/leaves, they're really cool and simultaneously look techy and like plant life. Noice!

ZeTrystan responds:

Based on leaves on some other pokemons, but was trying to include it! :D
This one have to be the most subtle double typing design wise of the three, I think!

[everybee's a critic]

Hah, I love this little humor post. Made a great joke out of that fascinating study result.

pInkmoth responds:

thank you !! i thought it was a really neat study too!

[Kapycub]

Aww! It got fluffier! This design also works well and I love the gradual spread of the brown before it will I believe take up more of the design in the final evolution (as I saw from another review).

ZeTrystan responds:

Hahaha, it sure will be more present in the last evolution!

[Mighty Max]

Looks kinda close to your art style, actually, aside from the shading - is that where you get your style of faces, etc from? :)

The dramatic high-contrast shading is actually pretty cool and done well - I wonder what it'd look like if you tried to integrate that with your normal style of shading, to emulate low-key lighting (in film terms) while also using the highlights and gradient stuff you normally do.

themaskedmonocle responds:

Yeah the shading was fun to try out, but i didn't like that it covered up alot of the linework. My art style is actually derived from the Megaman cartoon, with a hint of Jem <3

[Dimensions Gates]

Dang, it actually looks like something from a work of sci-fi fiction. The light effects make it look like the gate is opening up and activating. Makes me think of a sci-fi soundtrack song that I love, it has a similar feel. Really cool!

Question: How do you get all that detail into your artworks? Just a lot of time put into it, or is there a special trick you use in your art program?

DanielGalaxy712 responds:

Yeah ! You keenly feel spirit of this art !!!
This one of a reasons why made new arts =)

Answer : For lights effect i use , sometimes little effects , or sometimes i use pictures with light and stitch round for need condition . Usually i use wallpapers and add this layer by layer and polish many of them .

[Pyrepup]

Holy crap, it took me seeing "fakemon" in the tags to figure out that this wasn't real. I love the design so much, it's very cute and original, and fits in extremely well with the canon Pokemon. The aesthetic of the artwork also fits in really well, and I love the fanmade logos. Really nice work!

ZeTrystan responds:

Thanks! I'm having fun practicing adapting my drawing style to fit an existing one! Quite the exercice haha
