BlueMonday1984's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[NG wall art]

A wide variety of Newgrounds' most beloved characters, both old and new.
You fucking killed it with the site skin.

[toby & candy!!]

Toby and Candy look like they were made for each other - their designs complement each other so well!

[The Goofy Goober]

An adorable little fluffball doing an adorable little dance, and a great way to introduce yourself to the Art Portal.

VaroGhedash responds:

Nice to see this community is so nice! thanks for your feedback

[DJ Pico]

Quite like the glow effect on the turntable and the speakers.

[Stroll]

Damn, Lexi fucking murdered that Uberkid.

Nicely done all around - you not only captured the Pico artstyle pretty much perfectly, but gave your own spin on it, too.

[chatterbox]

I genuinely don't know you managed to cook up something this good in only ten minutes.

The rotary dial, wheels and nose all being hexagonal does stand out to me given further inspection - part of me suspects you made all those parts by copy-pasting a simple hexagon and transforming it as necessary.

violxiv responds:

first off great username, I love new order (acc from manchester and saw them live in 2021)

and yea! So I love using hexagons in my work, and this is mainly just me pasting the same hexagan multiple times, distorting them a bit then insetting them etc, a lot of the shapes are very simple edits of primitives

[2000 Reference Sheet (July 2024)]

Solidly done refsheet. The subtle Family Guy gag in the "Likes" section got a smile out of me.

Main point of improvement I can see is providing colour values (chiefly hex values) for the palette, like another model sheet I've seen (and used to make a Minecraft skin):

Providing the values isn't strictly necessary, but it would be convenient.

(damnit, now I'm tempted to break out Skincraft again...)

[Commission Art - UpsideAshes]

Cute cowgirl! Love the patches on her skin!

[ZONE ONE SCIENTISTS]

You did a good job on the emotive helmet. The stark white coat/mask and jet black skin(?) gives them an inhuman look.

[pomni]

A deeply-unsettling portrait of Pomni - the generally loose brushwork (plus the paintblot irises) gives the impression she's already cracked.

Very nicely done.
