TheReviewTrickster's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nospiratu]

Really cool aesthetic and style. Love the simplicity. It's a style that has been done before, but you utilized it very well. I really liked the way you showed the guy turning around and getting up during the night to indicate the effect of the evil presence. The end result was certainly shocking, but maybe it should have been a bit more subtle. Like instead of the fingers just poking through the guy's face violently, maybe it could be more of a thing with quiet possession or the monster just finally grabbing him, but now killing him, it should be more psychological. The looping aspect of the gif means it could all be a dream or something, meaning he doesn't really die, but all gifs loop and this is still too literal for that. If you were going for that maybe you could have shown him getting up then. But that would kinda ruin the effect of his previous wake-up.
Overall, a cool Halloween gif, but needs a bit more subtlety.

shadow-ghost responds:

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! I do appreciate everything you had to say. To clarify, the "ending" is intended to be a chokehold as a rather literal representation of sleep apnea (and partially sleep paralysis as well), so it's definitely a "loop" in events rather than something with a beginning and end.

Anyway, thank you again for the kind words! :)

[Inktober Day 22: Expensive]

Before I read the Wikipedia article, I'd like to speculate. My first thought was satanic. The little lines around her reminded me of flames, and the oval shape of the walls reminded me of a cave entrance. So expensive could be selling your soul to the devil. Anyways, I really like the character and the outfit, and the background's really cool. The way the letter stands out is cool too. It stands out even more if one browses through your inktober art. I believe this is your first use of color? This is probably my favorite inktober piece from you! Keep it up with the art (and studying)!

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thanks! I used color on a voodoo doll waaaay back at the beginning of Inktober, but otherwise, you are correct, I avoid color during Inktober. I only use it as an accent.
I feel like you're the first person to get where I was going with this one. :-)
I wanted it to remind you of a cave and hint at a bit of evil. She's wearing the letter to mark her as a sinner. She is shunned for her actions.

[Inktober Scorched (cannon)]

Such awesome detail! The lines are really nice too. Love that black spot in the background, it adds coolness to the image and the little broken parts at the bottom signify that this is a burst of explosive power. I like the design as well. It's quirky and fun but also cool. The cannon aldo isn't too over-the-top. Really cool inktober piece! Keep it up!

Imrie responds:

Thanks alot for taking the time to give the feedback really appreciate it.

[cruel]

No way this was made in a day! It's so cool! I really love the style and how you portrayed him, with the maniacal smile and piercing eye. Love the way you colored only his mouth and eye! It's a great contrast between the smile and his cold, deadly potential. Great job!

Eurns responds:

believe it or not, but it was actually made in a day ;) I'd say about 3 hours. And thanks! glad you like it :)

[Lost The Plot]

I love this one! Such a funny concept and great execution. All the bizarre situations piling up were super funny. They felt like something out of Rick and Morty. It all just happened so fast. This might be the best comic I've read from you! Keep it up!

ChazDude responds:

oh gosh c:

[Inktober Day 19:Scorched]

Pretty nice male cow skull. I really like the way you did the horns. Maybe the shading from the horns could go a bit further into the background. I wish there was more of a background, too. Ah well. I know you're busy and you've been persistent with these! Keep it up!

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Yeah I looked at the background for a while, but the reference photo I used, it was literally just sitting on dirt, and I just wasn't sure what else I'd want in the background. Ultimately, during inktober, sometimes you just have to quit overanalyzing it, because it's one drawing a day, and I have midterms I'm supposed to be studying for.----supposed to be.

because we both know I'm not.

[Day 13 - Guarded]

Awesome looking skeleton! The colors of the paper add to the awesomeness of it! That slight rainbow blur is cool too. The skeleton's angry attitude is awesome as well! Great job on this, the colors did a lot of the work, but the actual art is still awesome!

VortexVisionz responds:

Thank you! I love colors too much haha

[The Mewx!]

It's amazing how different your attitude can seem with and without sunglasses! The animation is really nice and satisfying, and I was not expecting that explosion. It came as an action-packed surprise. I am ignoring the fart confirmation. It is not part of my headcanon. I really like how you made him seem like such a chill dude and a badass internet boi. And, wow, he doesn't even flinch! That X is a cool detail, too, though maybe it's a bit ominous with the red background. Great work overall though!

ChutneyGlaze responds:

haha you are right! Mewx has two modes. 1. superstar internet boi! 2. Cybernetic organism living tissue over endo skeleton

[Landscapes of the North]

Cool. I like the style, it definitely is very northern. The composition's really nice as well, with the mountain peak being in the exact right place. The chasm to the right is also cool and, even though it's mostly black lines and stuff, the forest and stuff feels very detailed and gives off the right effect when viewed the zoomed-out way. All the mist really adds to the atmosphere, too. I think the grey was a good choice for showcasing the harshness/cold of the environment.
Great job, this is awesome!

BathInAyn responds:

Hey man, thanks for the detailed review. I'm glad you appreciate the work that went into the piece so much!

[Jason V]

The animation is smooth, though maybe the design could use a bit more detail, because it kinda looks like he's in his pajamas. I guess that kinda works with the big head, but i feel like that would require different execution to make it work as a joke. The walk sure is weird, but i can definitely see why he would walk like that. It does work with the cute head.
Overall a pretty fun animation, though maybe it could use some more detail. I get it though, it was done in a day (right?)

Luis responds:

Yeah the color palette is based on the nes version of friday 13th game.
I'm not entirely happy with the walk cycle, its a little gimpy but had to be done in a few hours so.
Thanks!
