retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[What if Zelda was a girl..?]

I always wondered what that Zelda character would look like as a chick... I have not been disappointed by my curiosity yet...

jessejayjones responds:

Ha! Thank you man! :)

[The burn your eyes bird]

This confuses me. I like things that confuse me. Good work on confusing me with this totally tripped-out bird. I friggin love it.

ZeTrystan responds:

Don't worry, it confused me while I was drawing it. It made no sense, and still doesn't make any.
But thanks! :'D

[kal]

Really cute little drawing, man! Like the way you drew the gigantic kawaii sugoi eyes here!

The linework is good, the proportions are simple, of the chibi variety which is gud. I LIKE THIS

bocodamondo responds:

the style is heavily inspired by theunseriousguy, i love his artstyle ^^

[Hexafusion]

This is amazing. Why haven't I seen this!?!?! ARHGHADGJADH

bocodamondo responds:

cant tell if sarcastic

[Over The Garden Wall]

This is incredible. I love Over The Garden Wall! It's quite possibly one of the best cartoons I've watched in years! Right next to Steven Universe and Rick and Morty.

There's quite a lot to love about this piece, I even liked the little cat-like expressions on Wirt and Gregory's faces! Really like the art style, too, which keeps itself unique and away from the show's actual artstyle, making this piece its own thing. It's simple, yet complex and I freakin love it.

Good job, mate! It's good to review one of your work again!

ZeTrystan responds:

Steven Universe. :'O Well well, you do have good taste, mate!

Thanks a bunch for the review, always love the fact that you put time to write a long comment. Seriously, I appreciate it! :)

[Boring bored]

I thought a beard was growing on to your eyes for a bit in this one, lol!

Another pretty great self-portrait thingy, man!

ZeTrystan responds:

Well, maybe it is! >:D EYE BEARD.

[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 :)

[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
