BlueMonday1984's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Argethrenne]

ARGETHRENNE :D
I haven't seen Argeth's original design before seeing this, so I can't really compare thw two, but damn does she look cool (especially that pink double-scythe-thing).

Choice of background colour's my main complaint - that pale yellow clashes a bit with Meowscarada's colour scheme.

[Judgement]

...I want Judgement to step on me
Very goddamn stylish piece - the subtle glow effects are a real nice touch.

[sky-craft]

Holy shit, mixed-media Skyblock
Real nice work on the island - looks kinda like a mix between a LEGO style and a claymation style.
Perspective on the chest does look a bit wonky though - almost looks like its not attached properly to the stud.

[Hunger games doodles]

...oh, yeah, young-adult dystopian novels were A Thing back in my childhood. (Also holy shit BajanCanadian, that guy was cool)

I gotta say, you did a pretty good overall. Your podium sketch is my personal highlight, for showing both Katniss and Effie's personalities pretty well - *neither* of them look prepared for this, but one is very clearly more at home on the mic.

As a quick sidenote, Sarah Z did a video on the rise and fall of YA dystopias (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hxGGWn3gWA) - I've been meaning to get around to it, but I do recommend it.

thank you! The podium sketch is probably my favorite too :3 thanks for the reccomendation btw! I adoreee youtube video essays especially when theyre about media im interested in

[A Slimy Academic [COM]]

slime gobbo :3
Nice work all around - perspective's pretty solid, and her hair looks nice and slimy.

[The Call]

Considering your signature deliberately dates this piece to 2008, I presumed the "deviantart edginess" was rather deliberate :P

In any case, it works pretty well here - Cacleena's evil voice is already coming off as arrogant and immature compared to her usual self, and the '00s-era edginess is only helping to drive that home.

FunnyPlush responds:

the 2008 is actually my birth year lol. either way I appreciate it

[Want some fries? (Corv and Lulu)]

cuuuuute :3
Love their designs, and how well they contrast each other. Hope to see more of them!

CactiHat responds:

Tytysm!!! Plenty more in the future :o!

[Blast Off! (Pokémon FanArt)]

Prepare for trouble, and make it double.
I gotta say, you did a good job getting the series' artstyle down. Its not a perfect recreation, but that's just a minor side-effect of your own style shining through.

StitchMiss responds:

I used to love singing through their whole monologue as a kid XD Probably still know it haha
Thank you so much! ^o^ The first few tries were pretty bad so I am glad I am getting closer to the style X3 Will definitely try and do some of my favorite Pokémon next!

God damn. Its kind of a given you'd have developed a lot as an artist, but it blew me away seeing how far you've come.
