retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Emma Emmerich]

Metal Gear Solid wasn't the best game ever made, and it certainly wasn't a very great game either.

But E.E. was a character that kind of made MGS2 a little bit more bearable of a game to sit through if you care enough to sit through most of the codec boring conversations with E.E. and Otacon, where you realize that E.E. is a more interesting and 3-dimensional character than most of the other characters in the entire game.

Then there was E.E.'s death, which actually could have been emotional if it wasn't for Otacon's near comical crying. When I was first playing through MGS2 and I got to the part when E.E. dies I was laughing my ass off along with my Mom and Dad as they were watching me play it on the good ol' PS2. And Otacon's crying made the scene come off as hilarious for me. I honestly don't know how anyone can get all emotional during that scene.

[Olga vs Snake]

Hmm...needs more armpit hair.

[SOLID SNAAAAAKE]

*Codec beeps* "Master Miller, please tell me more about playing video-games after bathing." What a great pic of Snakey Snake.

Though, I would've liked this drawing better if it was Snake Plisskin from "Escape From New York".

Next artwork you do, you absolutely must draw a picture of Snake Plisskin, or Kurt Russel if you prefer.

Good day, Ockeroid, and have an extremely pleasant afternoon.

Congratulations, dude! I have always loved your artwork, and always will. Thank you for making this great artwork for everyone on both DeviantArt and Newgrounds to enjoy.

Je tiens à vous remercier d'être une partie de ce site et j'espère que vous avez un bon jour, ami de ZeTrystan.

Hahah! <3

[Background Pony - Air Way]

Damn My Little Horse fan-art...but, I do like this design, despite the, well, Pony aspect of this.

Hell, you don't tend to see Ponies with braces. Man, the lighting is great! And the symmetry is pretty well-rounded. Good work, man.

January3rd responds:

Thank you.

I understand your bias against this; there are lot of reasons to dislike the pony fandom. But so many things to love too, I think.

What can I say? I'm biased too I guess, just on the other side of the coin.

[Juniper]

Haha! I love how you managed to make a Skyrim character look like a Disney character! That seriously takes some skill, man.

I love this drawing! Well, this one's going into my favorites.

[FL-CHAN]

The left hand looks really weird, like she's trying to hold up her weight with just her fingers.

The right hand looks quite strange with the way her fingers are positioned, but the facial expressions seem to be the strong point in this drawing of this, as I said in a previous review "creepy anime girl".

It honestly seems like you're practicing more on the face than any other part of the body, despite the fact that you uploaded a result of your attempt at drawing hands, which suck by the way, but the torso looks okay, but the little things like lights, details in clothing and ripples in clothing you seem to just not be able to do.

I can definitely see you improving, very slowly. Like a snail. You're getting loads better though, man.

[FanArt - Annabelle]

Beautiful work, my friend!

[History on Beach]

Ah! She's reading my favorite book, 1984! What a fine book to be reading on the beach!

The water looks like shit, the sand looks like shit and the boobs look like shit, also her left arm looks like it's over-lapping a bit, you'd better have her left arm fixed, dude.

[Luna]

The design of this creature is terrifying to me, as someone who finds the Slender-Man design scary as hell.

I really like the detail like the tree having some reference to the Slender-Man with the shadows, the Slenderfolk's tears and that rain, son!

Even though I'm not a very big fan of fan-based Slender-Man characters and really like this one! Good job for basing this on the original character, dude!

One of my problems with this, though, is that you didn't include a link, or even a name for the creator of this creature. What's up with that, man?

CarnieVorex responds:

I assume that if someone is really concerned with what happens on my DA, they will use the link in my profile to get there XD I really dislike what this site does to links, but if you're very interested, the creator's page is ultralulzz.deviantart.com. I was a bit too lazy to write all the stuff that most viewers wouldn't care about, that's all.
Speaking of Slender OCs, I don't really like all these characters with hair and multicolored tentacles and all that Mary-Sue-ish stuff, but they're so numerous I have to make a place for them in my biological theories for Slenderfolk.
It was something like a commission, anyway, so I needed to do my best. And the character was okay, actually.
