retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[XY BattleSpot - Ditto!]

Ditto is a really great Pokemon. Bit overpowered in its abilities, but still a really great one at that.

I love this artwork! Great line-work and shading! And, you're lookin' quite spiffy in that coat, if I dare say so.

TerminalMontage responds:

Thanks Retro :D

[Multitalented Florence]

When looking at this without reading the description, I could easily guess all olf her wonderful talents like: holding microphones, caring for parrots who like to have a go on the computer, holding on to pinatas, and murdering folks by stealing their blood and showing it around the neighborhood.

Turns out, I was kinda wrong on the last one, or at least I think I was wrong about that talent...

Anyways, great art as always and I really hope this person hasn't killed lately!

ZeTrystan responds:

You guessed right! She does kill people!
Aaah. I know some wonderful people.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the nice comment! /o/

[Silent Hill Closer]

Wow! This looks amazing! Y'know, I find it a little strange that after all the times I've talked to you, you never made an artwork relating to the Silent Hill franchise, but by God, you have now!

And yes! This thing DOES look like an infected penis! Yay!

ZeTrystan responds:

Well, as much as I freakin love Silent Hill, I don't think I'm really good at drawing realistic-monstruous things. But I'm getting there...

It looks like many infected penises stitched together! D8

[Flutterchang'e]

...this is actually pretty well-done. The dress design is really nice, and vibrant. I really didn't expect something like this from you, and one of your biggest drawbacks in the artist department was the fingers, but in this one you have the fingers mostly hidden away, and thus, no weird distractions from the artwork, though I have no idea what the fuck human Fluttershy is doing with her left hand, is it some strange-ass greeting that us humans are not aware of?

Eh, whatever, you did quite a nice job with this one. And I am a big fan of Chinese/Japanese dresses like Kimonos, so this one is also a bit of a plus for me and.....I'm just kinda bedazzled by the lack of bullshit in this drawing.

Thanks for reading! :3 ~Retro

[Steven Universe is Awesome]

Man, I feel I really need to see Steven's Universe. Y'know what? I'm gonna watch it tonight when I'm back from London.

Oh, and great artwork, btw! Nice purple condom sword!

ZeTrystan responds:

If you like Adventure Time, I'm sure you'll like Steven Universe. Seriously, there are great shows these days.

Well, eh, what do you want! I'm not the one who decided to make him wave that BIG PINK PHALIC SWORD, you know!

[Tattoo]

Eh...this drawing is pretty all right, I suppose.

the shading is tons better than all your previous work and you did a really nice job with the sugoi anime expression on this female with no pantsu.

But Jesus Christ, you still can't draw anatomically correct fingers! I don't know how you've managed to not improve on drawing fingers, despite all of your practise, you're still not there yet! XD

The fingers here look really friggin' weird, and it really stands out from the rest of the artwork and it urks me, when I see that everything else looks quite well-drawn, it's always the damn fingers that you can't seem to draw correctly for some reason.

Oh, and nice job with the colouring on PhotoShop, it actually works pretty well with your drawing and in some way, helps improve what you draw, so, good work on that front.

And finally, the tattoo, which seems to have been the main title in which you have named this masterpiece that will someday be put up in a museum one day... now, back in your much older works, you could almost never be able to draw the little details in your artworks very well, but now, you are finally able to draw little details fairly well so it doesn't distract too much from the characters you draw in your masterpieces. It's just those fuckin' fingers that screw with your amazing artworks.

I hope you respond to this review in a non-negative way, as I have reviewed this drawing in a somewhat non-negative way, unlike my much older reviews of your content which were a bit....cruel, to say the least. I sincerely hope you can forgive me for my action and hope that you have a lovely day. ~Retro.

[iamamiwhoami]

Never heard of this artist...until now. Thanks to this really nice artwork, this has inspired me to give her a listen.

In my opinion, the music's all right, it's not exacly my kind of music, but it's all right all the same.

Nice one, bro! ~Retro

ZeTrystan responds:

Baaah. Weird pop-indie music isn't really for everyone.

And, as usual: thanks!

[Stroff Volatile]

Kinda reminds me of the Sandman from the Spider-Man comics. On drugs.

Very nice portrayal of the human body, ZeTrystan!

ZeTrystan responds:

Kinda like him. With drugs.

Haha, thanks! Human body is EXACTLY like that, right?

[GTFO get bent]

Eh, I used to watch One Piece at quite a young age, and then I just stopped watching after a while. Great drawing of Sanji kicking the air, man! And happy Easter!

[character colour schemes]

I prefer the third one. Great work with colouring and shading, bro! I'm a big fan of his character design.

TheUnseriousguy responds:

thanks dude, glad you like it
