Thetageist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nö.]

SNRK! This is great!

In answering Snailsnip’s question: Umlauts on a vowel are used to signify different sounds in different languages. I know three pronunciations of o with umlaut. In Turkish and Icelandic it sounds kinda like “uh”, and in German it’s more “oo”. I’m not doing a very good job of transcribing it in any of those languages; it’s probably just best to look up a pronunciation guide on YouTube and hear it. Unfortunately I don’t know how it is in Swedish, which would be the best for this context since Ikea is a company from Sweden.

To ZeTrystan: Great execution as always! I especially love the sign with the fake Ikea product name, it makes this even more hilarious.

ZeTrystan responds:

Also in french, they are usually a way to separate to vowels. (for example, ''maïs'' would be read as mah-iss and not m-è-s).

And thanks Escapist! :'D

Wow, you’ve got a talent for sprucing up ref images to make them really pop! I really admire that, considering I myself try to take the time to present refs in a way that looks nice as well.

Tiny nitpick on the color palette: usually you’d want to include all of the colors that are used in the design. I don’t see the light brown in there. But otherwise, nice work!

UPYOUR1999 responds:

Thanks a lot. I debated putting the light brown due to the fact it's so similar to the brown on the shirt. This was actually my first ref sheet ever made and I'm delighted to hear that it caught another's eye.

[I want a house]

Ouch haha, that doesn’t sound like fun at all.

You’re really good at making these funny comics, like you know the best way to tell these jokes. Artistic execution is great as always. Great job!

ZeTrystan responds:

Well, happy you think so! :)

[Fluff]

Aww! Really nice job, the bird and the branches and everything look really realistic and accurate. Congrats on another feature!

Ioruko responds:

Thank you!

[Western Spaghetti]

Bahaha, this is the best! I love all the little details and everything. Really well done.

In case you were wondering what that means, a lot of old Western movies were filmed in Italy rather than the US (for monetary reasons I believe). Hence the term. :)

Masskir responds:

Oh so I’m really, really gone too far. Thanks for the explanations ! ;)

[Born of light]

Congratulations! Best of luck for whatever you do after this!

This is really pretty. It’s a bit hard to say exactly what it looks like to me but that’s part of what I like about it. The light effects are especially cool! What program do you use to make all of these cool trippy pictures?

DanielGalaxy712 responds:

Thanks for respond :)

Program : Polish , you can download this on Google play (its for tablet ).

Hey there! First of all, let me say that your coloring is pretty solid. I recommend you practice faces and poses a bit, as her face is a bit lopsided and she's leaning a little bit to the left. Don't let this discourage you! I can see from all the art you've posted in a short time span that you're really persistent. Keep it up!

Justinandrew1984 responds:

Thank you for your response, I do need to try different poses for each drawing. I may need to practice something

[Deep blue]

Ooh, spooky. I'm not sure what this reminds me of. But I love the atmosphere and the contraast between the blue light and the red lights. There's a lot of detail in this without needing very much light in it. Really masterful work.

Maffi responds:

Thank you very much! Glad you liked this piece ^^

[Fall.]

Ooh, I love the dreamy style! I could totally see this as a poster for a manga, anime, or JRPG. The more I look at it, the more complexity I see. Man, look at all those cool effects! I'm trying to analyze all of them to see how they work. How'd you do the red/yellow/blue thing but only in some places?

entry027 responds:

Color shift by channels on the new layer, then I removed some parts from the top layer.
