namuwonderling's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[female degeneratesin]

I can't help but get Jojo's Bizarre Adventure vibes from this design - might be an intentional motif, but I'm not certain on that. I will say tho, I'm likin' the presentation, as cluttered as it is. All three poses for Degeneratesin are pretty good and showcase your ability to switch from a cartoonish artstyle, to something that's photorealistic to an extent.

Additionally, I'm noticing this as I'm writing rn, but the black-and-neon magenta checker pattern on Degeneratesin's undershirt reminds me of the missing texture thing that can occur in Gmod or Source Film Maker. But for such a name as "Degeneratesin," it's funnily ironic how the chest of this version is rather small compared to the legs. If that's also intentional, I like it; serves as a neat juxtaposition to what the average viewer would expect from an artpiece titled "female degeneratesin."

And now that I'm looking more closely, the hair goes hard, tbh. The way it blends into her head reminds me of how Jotaro's hair seemingly blends into his signature hat. Her color scheme's also great, imo. Plus, the orange tie's a perfect contrast to her purplish-blue skin, and her little grin on the right side of the canvas is cool as well.

(Gah, this review's looking quite scatterbrained rn, but I'm sure you can tell that I really enjoy this art.)

NoNthings responds:

You explained it in the best way possible and yeah I based the design off of Kira from jojo

[dont feel so good]

hope ya feel better soon

art's good, but it'd feel off for me to be in "critiquing mode" atm

[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!

[freddy fazbear ass stare]

Tbh, there ain't much I could really comment about this, with one particular exception: Yerself's open grin is *perfect.* Love that he stares into the camera, too.

And much like the "My Treat In Beatings" picture, this here's another instance of where a small background detail would've given a neat touch of pizazz to the whole illustration. (Maybe even some bits of dialouge, too? Assuming Yerself can speak.)

MidTierArtist responds:

im not paid enough lad
and Yerself is preferred being quiet

[time to get funke]

I'm surprised to see that there were four whole idle poses drawn here. Unsurprisingly, the Norah one actually jumpscared me, 'cus I never expect you to draw her; so seeing her in your artstyle's always a pleasant surprise. :3

The thing I like most about all four of these idle poses is that the personality of each character is easy to read by simply glancing at their faces and how they hold their microphones. It serves as a good example of - and a way to practice - strong character design.

(And I'm only now realizing this, but drawing FNF-styled idle poses seems to be a great way to quickly whip up a full-body reference for a character. Might try that myself at some point.)

fat women my beloved

Alice's face in the second picture is pretty cute, imo.
