retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mushroom Kingdom]

I give this Terminal7/10

Good work, sir.

[Tiger Butterfly Remake]

Welcome back to Newgrounds, Laura!

I really like the look of this. The anatomy looks about right, the lighting is on-point...it's pretty good overall.

It's a nice and simplistic Photoshop painting. I like it!

ArtistGamerGal responds:

Thanks :)

[New iPhone 6]

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

I came back to Newgrounds for a few minutes and I find this. I really missed this.

[Can't hug every Spy]

Damn, Loli Pyro is too kawaii for my small brain to handle.

Great linework, good artwork overall.

Really like this one!

[Oh Captain, My Captain!]

This is really beautiful, Jazza. Robin Williams has always been a large part of my childhood and teenhood, with his hilarious standup and wonderful characters throughout all of the films he has been in.

I will never forget the man, and it's a damn shame that such a nice guy had to take his life in this way.

Rest in Peace, Robin, you magnificent bastard! And great job, Jazza, seriously.

[SAD BATMAN]

If you look closely, you can actually pinpoint the moment Batman's heart breaks in two!

Great work, mate.

[Amethyst - Steven Universe]

Man, I've seen so much fanart and recommendations from friends for me to watch Steven Universe and I still haven't watched it...the hell's wrong with me?

Anyways, really nice drawing of this character, good background and nice work getting the hair-bewbs right.

BrujaBear responds:

Thank you and you should definitely watch it!

[Eve and the Apple Tree]

For a first attempt at drawing a human body, this is pretty damn good! I've seen "experienced" artists like Bocodamondo who seem to fail at certain parts of the human body like hands, legs ect. But you have done a really good job at drawing the hands, legs and arm position.

You're first time drawing a naked human body is better than most artists' firsts.

I love the background, simple, yet really complex. Good shading, good understanding of the human anatomy and overall, great work!

Hope your Dad really enjoyed that one, old friend! Good day.

MichaelJ responds:

Aw thanks, dude! He loved it. :)

[Jenny]

Y'know, I kinda like this one! The hair looks really good, and has that Scott Pilgrim look...not sure why you took on the Bryan Lee O' Malley art style, but it works well with you quite well!

You also drew the eyes quite well also.

Only problem I have with this is a problem I've had with your artworks wince the beginning...the clothes are too simple looking, and clash badly with the well-drawn face, hair and eyebrows. And as for the hands, that's not much of a problem since they're covered up, so overall, nicely done, man. Good to see the improvement.

bocodamondo responds:

i didnt really payed attention that i tottaly hid the hands..haha
even if i made them visible i would have drew them in a cartoony style, meaning only 4 fingers and very thick

[Hail Caesar]

Really nice use of colours and paint! Though an unoriginal painting, I can still appreciate the work put into it.

And as for the movie this painting is based on...I didn't like it, personally. I found it too clichéd. The story in this film has been done to death, and it's sooo predictable! As I watched the film, I guessed every plot twist correctly, and that's not good for a movie like this. There were good parts in this film, but the bad parts of this film are just so overwhelming that I couldn't enjoy it.

Anyways, you're entitled to your own opinion, and I think it's great that you enjoyed it!
