namuwonderling's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[BOOP!]

The white vignette's subtle, yet it does a swell job at emphasizing the sweetness of this moment between Angelette and Bei.

Tbh, the lack of a stylized background kinda works in this piece's favor. I think if the background had a lot of details in it, it could make the composition look a tad clunky and messy.

Rather, I think adding some small colored lines around Angelette and Bei's outlines could make their positions in the canvas a bit more striking; using some colors like green and blue would theoretically catch the viewer's attention in a more instinctual way, if that makes sense - like how the human eye's drawn to particularly bright or saturated colors.

[RAMBLEY]

I love that this captures the uneasy vibes of being around someone with skeletons in their closet without making it *super* obvious. The toothy grin, static-like background and scratchy textfont nail this feeling well.

I have little to no knowledge on Indigo Park and its lore. Apparently its a FNAF-inspired game(?), and with how successful Playtime With Percy - another FNAF-inspired game - was, I may check out Indigo Park and see if its any good.

[BITTER NOTE]

This is a fantastic illustration. It proves that you can make anything wacky - like this BanBan Death Note mashup - look whimsical in your artstyle.

The composition here is also great. It feels like I'm looking at a promotional poster for an upcoming anime; a feeling that'd no doubt be bolstered further if there were an alt that included a mock up Bitter Note logo. And the crimson steel-like background is exceptionally impressive; drawing those markings you see on metal walls must've been a hassle without some specific brushes.

I've never watched Death Note myself, but I can easily recongize that Banban's Light and Stinger Flynn is L (if that name is correct). Although I'm in the dark as to who Banbaleena(?) is supposed to be cosplaying as.

[FAZZMANIAC]

Never listened to Jermaniac before, but this drawing tells me it goes as hard as Subterfuge.

(This kind of harsh shading is somethin' I'll need to practice with at some point. Perhaps this drawing could serves as a good guideline of sorts.)

[CF24’s Ghost Collab!]

So glad to have taken the opportunity to be a part of this collab! Everyone did a great job with their respective ghost drawings; some of 'em are *really* cool!

[Mr. Frog]

The photo-realistic Mr. Frog in the background's an accurate representation of the funny green frog man's inherent unpredictability; behind that innocent, wide smile is a violent creature driven to cause chaos with nearly every opportunity he gets.

[YOURSELF]

YOOOOO- SILLY BILLY MENTIONED AHHHHHHHH XD

Seriously, I silently squealed in joy when this showed up on my feed. So you can bet that I got a LOT to say about this particular piece.

For starters, the presentation: I love it. Your artstyle uniquely captures the emotional intensity of Silly Billy and the song's ending lyrics; there's loads of detail packed within that it feels like I'm looking at a small I Speye page, especially when I take closer glances at the art itself - the mirror shards, transparent static effect, the after-image of Yourself in the background, the text... and the colors? Oh, the colors... they are absolutely gorgeous. Like, I don't know how you manage to create such beautiful paintings, but I'd want to learn how to do so someday.

Yourself's expression is also rather intriguing. It's like he's grinning and frowning at the same time. And given the context of his backstory, it's quite fitting, imo.

All-in-all, the Friday Night Funkin' fan within me is utterly *joyous* with this painting (no pun intended; Hit Single Real reference, lol). I can only imagine how you'd interpret the other tracks found within the Hit Single mod - I think I'd actually explode if you drew Lord X for either Joyous or Trichael.

(I know I'll forget to, but I may check out that aforementioned Car Seat Headrest album. Title's wacky af, but something tells me it'd hit different from some of the albums I've listened to in the past.)

[THE MIGHTY WILL FALL BEFORE ME AND THE WEAK WILL PRAY AT ME]

This is a fantastic piece. When I look at this, it feels like I'm looking at the kind of promotional art you'd see in a comic book page or two from the early-to-late 2000's; the first version, in particular, carries this vibe exceptionally well.

If you ever decide to make more art like this, I'd be eager to look forward to them.

[My Persona Reference]

I don't think I said something like this when I first saw the new reference sheet a while ago, but the persona glow up is real.

In my opinion, the biggest part of this glow up is that Fatal Error is properly integrated into the design; beyond being referenced as the shirt's signature symbol. I also like that the clothing's color scheme is altered and that your persona's left eye changes while Fatal Error is active.

Although, speaking of the Fatal Error alt, I can't help but point out that the shadow covering the top half of the face is oddly cut off right where the hair's edges are. It's a small error (no pun intended), but can be rather jarring when looking closely.

[Super paper Luigi]

I love how this replicates the Super Paper Mario artstyle flawlessly, while hints of your artstyle still shine through - particularly with the shading.

I have this feeling that Paper Mario's pose is supposed to reference something, but I'm not sure what said reference is, exactly.

I also adore how all the game's antagonists - minus Mr. L - are in the background. Feels like I'm looking a single frame to the intro of an anime like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

You could probably edit this into a piece of fake boxart for Super Paper Mario and it'd go hard, imo.

NoNthings responds:

I actually drew mr. L but forgot to add him in lol
