TheReviewTrickster's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[bay leaves]

Wow, this looks so nice. That purple leaf sticks out marvellously, and the way the leaves are mostly directed up with a couple outliers is interesting. It feels a bit disorienting, almost like stuff is flipped... but I might just be sleepy. It's like a screen from a point and click game. One which I think would be damn gorgeous. Keep it up!

maruki responds:

Thank you! I was tried to defy my senses with this one.

[The Scribe]

Whoa! This is fantastic! The colours are really nice. They're vibrant, but the purple has a grounding effect and it looks really nice. The colour of the sky fading from light to dark is really pretty. I also like the design of the creature/character, blowing smoke out of its nosehole, giving off a vibe of hugeness and wearing that weird hat and beads, just kinda chill. The pipe covered in fungi is an interesting detail, too. I kinda wish he had something more to show that he's a scribe, though. Regardless, keep it up, man!

MrCreeep responds:

thank you thank y ou!!!

[Happy Clock Day]

Looks very nice in terms of style and I like the idea, though the hand slapping down could be more fluid, cause as it is it kinda takes away from the momentum.
Happy belated Clock Day!

[Awoken Colossus]

Wow, this is magnificent! The horizontal composition is interesting, cause normally a piece with a gargantuan creature would have more vertical composition. Along with the warm colors and slight... I don't wanna call it blur, but I don't know what other term to use, that gives it a sort of out-of-context feel. You only see part of the creature, you don't see much apart from the creature and it's sorta like an image in a dream, passing by through a dreamy afternoon. The design of it is also cool. The chest plate things and various spiky protrusions are very cool and I like the glowing "eye". It feels more wooden than anything, like some imperfect but powerful force of nature. Weird and out of its context, just like we perceive it. Maybe it's the power of association to other such creatures, I don't know. The detail of its "bleeding" is also a nice additional detail. Great job!

Nempatriarch responds:

You got it perfect! I wanted to keep it not super defined, so you can place your own reading in it. It is inspired by the Phyrexians, a race of machine monsters from Magic the gathering. Tho, the concept on this one is that the orb-like feature where the "eye" is, is like a sentient core, that wherever it is placed, it will raise a body from the adjacent materials, giving it that organic look

[little hank]

Goddamn, man. I really love this. I'm sure a huge part of it is the fact that it's refreshing seeing a new Hank design. Not many people really do that. I really like the neon red, it's so madnessy. Nice grays too, they feel solid and metallic, the whole thing is so slick. It really feels like Hank and has Hank vibes, despite it being so different. It's what Hank would be like in a cyberpunk Nevada. A rapper/futuristic assassin. Forgot to review this a long time ago hehe. Keep it up!

[10/5]

Wow, I really like the first one! You managed to use the shapes so creatively, especially the purple and yellow, they really give off uncomfortable/violent and... ploopy vibes respectively. The red guy that seems to be losing his structure in the shadows is really cool too, and the others are nice-looking, even if not as interesting. The second page is badass, especially the one with all the eyes. The crawling person, though, missing leg? The third one looks nice, a slice of life animation/comic with your style would be pretty cool to see. It's a bit messy with the shadows, I didn't realize she didn't have black hair right away, but you'll improve with time and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

AntonM responds:

Thanks dude! Glad you like the shapers, in the siren art I think her leg would b behind her head but either way it doesn't really read well lol, I've never done anything slice of life like, could be fun

[Gentleman's club]

Didn't get around to reviewing this on Pixel Day, but I didn't want the flashier stuff to get all the attention. I like the low-res style and I think it'd go great in the background of some sort of comedic point-and-click adventure. It's got the raunchiness and the absurdity of 8-bit titties bouncing. It's pretty smooth, but I think the way the arms are jointed looks pretty weird. Maybe not on its own, but it all looks kinda confusing with the white stripes on the pole. Maybe you could have also done without those.
Happy belated Pixel Day!

[One Pixel Artwork]

Gets me right in the soul! The orange is so... orange. It's really fuckin orange, dude. Whoa. Orange. So final and so jolly in a way that is beyond time and space. Tantalizing because it beckons but you cannot answer.

Deep.

Cyberdevil responds:

Orange you the thinker today! Some things you just cannot question... and that which has no question has no answer. It's like something a man with a metal detector dug up. A profound.

[NG 8-bit]

I like the way you put your own unique spin on most of them, they're not just copies. Definitely added some exaggerated cartoonishness in places that I welcome. I think Fancy Pants Man's body could be a bit longer and Salad Fingers could be a tad slimmer, especially in the face. I think Time Fcuk dude looks the coolest here, but I also like the interesting-looking SBC and Dad. I appreciate you putting in the radish as well, so it's not all old characters. The reflection on the floor also looks sick.
Happy Pixel Day and thanks for making this awesome tribute!

[Clair slashing rats]

It's got all the components, the info on the sides of the screen, the background details tp sell it, the action being done. The colors are nice and the red barrels are a nice touch of excitement but they don't overpower the rest. I feel like it's missing some stuff in the foreground, though It's bit empty and needs more kinetic energy in my opinion. Maybe more flourish and force demonstrated in the swing would have done it.
Either way, good job on your first mockup and thanks for contributing to Pixel Day!

AlcaNG responds:

Hello! First of all thanks for taking all this time to write that review, everything you said it's usefull and well criticized. I rlly had a hard time trying to animate it, after effects with gifs is horrible, so I kept this static mockup, but I'm still satisfied with the result, I also learned a lot!

Thanks again for your tips, next time I'll do better!
