retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frozen Venice]

Love the art, love the cold.

I love this artwork about as much as I love the cold. This is a beautiful matte painting that captures the frozen city of Venice perfectly.
You have a damn good sense of the cold with this one, and I have to give you kudos for this one, since I have seen quite a fair amount of artists that can't seem to capture the look of the cold very well.

I am the kind of guy who embraces the cold with open arms, and looking at this only makes me miss the winter even more.

[R Self-Portrait]

The perfect Valentine's Day portrait! You can literally see the love in his eyes!

Oh, and I have never seen Warm Bodies, so I have no idea who this character is supposed to be.

[Kill La Finale]

Thanks for the partial spoilers for Kill la Kill, mate! I was planning on watching this anime series while not getting blasted by spoilers, but oh well!

Didn't even put a bloody spoiler warning. It's like you expect everyone who comes here to have actually seen every Kill la Kill episode, which is not the case.

Well, I guess I'm finally watching Kill la Kill...with the knowledge of the ending. DAMN YOU, SPOILERS!!!

And yeah, I know that feel of finishing an anime series and not knowing to watch after that. That feel hit me super hard after I finished watching Angel Beats, as it hit me pretty hard emotionally, so I just decided to take a long walk outside to think about the ending to that show.

And the art is OK.

[Heart On Your Sleeve]

The detail in the tattoos is great! I love the shading done with this and it's just a all around fantastic artwork of a girl who enjoys to be naked.

[HItler]

Nice mould! I feel you captured Hitler's face from when he was younger quite well, especially his mustache!

[Super Mafia Brothers]

Nintendo should totally make a collaboration project with Rockstar Games to make something similar to this.

And I like the idea of the Mario Bros. as mafiosos.

KingJava responds:

I agree, but Nintendo would never do anything to hurt the "cutesy" image of Super Mario.

[BOUM CHAKA SHAMAN]

Such vibrant colours! And I bet you did have fun drawing this as the artwork has this fun vibe about it that I enjoy quite a lot with artwork.

I am the kind of guy who enjoys flashy, colourful artwork that kind of...screams out at you in a way, so this is my kind of art, and I don't even like the colour blue! I prefer a mix of red and green.

ZeTrystan responds:

Well, that screams alright! d:

Yeah. At first the drawing was in green-turquoise, but I changed it. Dunno why, but it looked more vibrant in blue.

Thanks, by the way!

[Adagio du Vide]

Lovin' this creative artpiece.

When I zoomed in, I saw what looked like the Android blood from the Alien movies with a Freudian looking fellow playing a Violin looking slightly confused about the scenario that he's in involving Android semen.

I swear, you're artwork is like ABBA music, nothing but hits.

ZeTrystan responds:

Thanks, dude.

Seriously, I know NONE of those references. ._.

Did you just compared what I draw to... ABBA? :'D

[symphony regalia mk2 jakuzure]

Lol...the last Kill La Kill artwork I reviewed from you, I actually seemingly pissed you off when I said "Creepy Anime Girls" and when I read the response I was really surprised that out of all the words that you happened to grasp on to was those three words right there.

And then you went on to say that your art is "balanced" which, I don't think matters at all. You still draw this stuff, which, in a way, I'm fine with.
I just think your artwork is somewhat creepy, to be honest, and if I can't be honest with myself for your artwork, then that really sucks since I like making honest reviews, no matter how much of an asshole I may seem to be, which I guess I am one.

Oh, and sorry for that Logan review, I acted pretty horribly and hypocritically there.

This is an all right artwork, and like your usual artworks, you manage to get the facial expressions down really well, but almost everything around it looks really simply drawn, there's no real detail, and the hands look horrible.
The hands look like an American drew them, which is not how you do an anime drawing.

Well, I hope you enjoy your 30 day challenge, man! And I hope you have a great day!
