TheReviewTrickster's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness 11]

I adore this style! It's so cool! The piece looks a bit exaggerated but that's part of the Madness charm. The monster Tricky looks particularly badass, I liek the huge teeth you gave him. The composition is also great and I love the detail. I like how evil and hateful the axe Tricky looks. Love those clones hanging off of Sanford as well. Sanford's face is pretty funny, but it fits him perfectly in MC11. Like those little ATPs in the BG there, they're fun. The only part I don't relaly like is Hank. Only one of his arms would be black and it's weird seeing his palm open. I get why you had him relax the fist, it fits the feel, but it looks pretty weird and I feel like Sanford is already the helpless one. Hank needs to be the badass here.
Keep it up, you have heaps of talent!

Rhunyc responds:

Thanks for the review! Very kind :D His arm that's black is his new and improved crab arm that the auditor gives him towards the end, his other arm is missing / evaporating. Thanks again!

[ABYSS REAVERS]

Detail aside, since your stuff is always beautiful, you gotta love this design. It's wacky, feral-looking and super fitting for th description. You can see they're in a frenzy and mindless beings that only wish to sustain themselves. The red gums are perfect as they immediately bring to mind blood and devouring. I also love that third one's flappy lips. They're so funny.

VonKreepula responds:

Thanks much! Glad someone can see these mongrels the way I intended them to be.

[Brooke - Kriss Vector]

Man, Brooke really is a gun-loving one, huh? I relaly like the outfit here, it's great, and, as always, I appreciate the detail. The gun looks great too, but I feel like she's not holding it right, especially for a trained soldier. For a while I wasn't sure if her legs were at the wrong angle or something, but I'm pretty sure they're fine. It's a nice piece, but it's not anything too special and doesn't hold up to scrutiny that much.

[The Grimataur]

Hey man, this looks great! I love how exaggerated it is. With the strong shading, high level of detail, net-looking pattern on its body, the huge arms and the awesome spiny fingers. Keep it up, man! Just one thing I have to say, since it is now possible to put more than one image in a single upoad, come back to this and put in the unfinished and white background versions. It's simply unnecessary to have them thrown around all over the place, it's better to have them all together.

[the world is getting up and i haven't even gone to bed yet]

I'm just in love with the title, really. The piece embodies it perfectly. The lighting is really great outside the window, and I like the detail of the stars not quite having gone away yet. The girl at the bottom is also nice, it's cool that her expression is hidden. The fact that the sun hasn't gotten to the lower end of the screen yet, I think, was no accident, and I like it.
A nice environmental piece with a really cool concept and detail. Keep it up!

[The long lost TRT drawing]

It's perfect! Simple but really effective. I love the round face, it's so silly, and those seductive eyes! I also really like the style, because it adds a certain charm. Also gotta love the bits of not-quite-erased stuff around the paper. For real, I do like that. It makes it feel homey and special somehow. Thank you so much, dude, I did not expect the drawing to be this interesting.

Hesiolite responds:

Wow, I didn't except such a feedback ! Thank you man ! I'm really glad you liked it. It was a pleasure to finally make this happen.

[Licoh's Guardians]

If for nothing else, I gotta appreciate this for the variety and the colors. But I also appreciate it because it's damn creative. Not every character is over-detailed, so the details don't get stale. The ones that are detailed look awesome! I love the, uh...Latino imagery? Keep it up, seeing new art from you after a while made me really hapoy!

Caaath responds:

Aww, thank you, for everything! I'm really very passionate about the Latin, African and Asian arts and I think my character creation reflects a bit on that ... I'm glad you've observed that reference, I feel honored, really!

[night lights]

I really like this one. It's very cool with the colors and it's also just really relaxing. I love the way the buildings shift and bend, building on each other. The obligatory references in the signs are a bit different from the usual stuff, and don't take away from the rest of the scene, which is really detailed. I like how it's a realer world, as compared to most NG-themed cities. The only thing I would have liked different would be some added signs further back, the front feels crowded.
Happy belated Pixel Day, you really brought something fresh to the site!

[I Like Big Bots and I Cannot lie]

Probably the best Pixel Day submission this year I've seen! I love the colors and the sorta minimalist design of the robot. An old-timey kind of futuristic, I guess, with some modern touches. Love the core thing it has. The shading and the details like the places it's smashing into the buildings and the guys at the bottom are really nice I have a couple complaints though. The furthest helicopter looks linda weird and the spiky things on the sides of the robot's head are not the same length (especially cnsidering the longer one is on the side the head is tilted to, so it should be shorter) and it really throws the cleanness of the design off.
Overall a very cool piece, but it has some strictly mishap-based errors. I doubt they were caused by your lack of knowledge on something. Happy belated Pixel Day!

TheDyingSun responds:

Oh snap! I didn't even realize the spikes were off, thanks for catching that! And yeah, that furthest helicopter looks like it's about to drop from the sky! When working on a piece of this magnitude, yeah... I'll keep an eye out for things like that next time, because I know it won't be the last intricate piece. I know what you're talking about and setting a good amount of time for clean up before posting would help me out in catching those teeny tiny errors I see pop up. It's kind of funny too, all of the little details I forgot to add swirl in my head after the fact. I'm still glad you enjoyed it!

[Tank Man]

Happy Pixel Day, man! Haven't seen any of your art in a while. This is some smooth animation and I really like the color of the background (it isn't anything new but it still looks delicious). Only problem is the Tankman looks kinda hunched over. A simple tribute, but one of the nicer ones I've seen so far.

AlexTheTrain-1 responds:

Thank you <3
Happy pixel day.
