retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dojo]

A pretty nice piece of artwork. And a really decent bit of background art for the game. Will it be available on steam so I can maybe buy it?

It's well drawn like all your other artwork submissions. Good work!

deathink responds:

I am not sure, but I know it will be on a lot of different platforms.

[Grove Street]

The similarity is uncanny. I never even thought of Michael as Ernie, Franklin as Grover, and Trevor as Bert. Fucking brilliant.

Also, what did you think of the game? Just curious about your opinions on it.

JohnnyUtah responds:

I'm enjoying it. As much as the open world aspect is cool I almost wish there were more complicated heists with variable paths over stuff like racing and darts. Also it's filled with great characters. I'm always ready to hate on a game for shitty writing but that and the characterizations are real solid in this game.

[Medic]

That's a manly-ass medic....Why do you have to make every male you draw so buff and manly? And why do you have to make every woman you draw extremely busty and overly sexualized? Remember: You have almost limitless possibilities for what you can do with flash, or whatever program you use (which is probably flash), so, keep practicing your drawing talent.

I quite enjoy the lighting and the fine set of eyeballs that you have drawn surprisingly well! Finally! You did semi-realistic eyes, which is different, and I like difference when it comes to you.

Keep doin' what you're doin', so keep practicing your evil witch ceremonies.

Have a good one!

bocodamondo responds:

to be honest, i did not tried to make hm buffed....maybe this is because i started to watch avengers assemble and it is why i kinda UNINTENTIONAL started adapt the shows art style because i really like it. and every fucking character there got a neck like this, even unmuscled characters like hawkeye and falcon..

edit: i noticed something, i DONT draw ALL female artworks over sexualized...its just that apparently the ones who are get more attention then the others. i mean from my latest pieces with females on them there a quite a few that are NOT oversexualized, like "ironwoman 2" "chinesse dress ada (yeah you can call this one sexy/sexual buts its not oversexualized then how ada is in the game, also no big breasts)" "haruhi fujioka" "nebula" and even "DY" ...the latest oversexualized ones are "dietra" "pyra" "naked melandy" "boa hancock" and "little batgirl" (ignore "megagirl because that is just a dumb rough) also hancock and rouge allready have giant breasts so its not my fault if i draw them big...so yeah, i do make normal artworks with females on them now and then, they just dont get as much attention wich result into most thinking i ONLY do the sexy ones since those get more attention
a dumb example:
its like when you both drink water and play with fire in a public place, nobody will care if you drink water, but everyone will when they see you play with fire..and most will remember you only for playing with fire, but not drinking water

[MegaBoy]

I do remember those old Mega-Man NES box-arts. But that's not the Mega-Man I remember seeing from looking at Mega-Man 1-3's box-art. Mega-Man actually was holding a lazer pistol in his hand. HAND. He didn't even have a mega-buster. Looking back, i find it quite funny how the artist didn't even know what Mega-Man even looked like.
I know you probably won't read this due to the amount of artwork you post here, but seriously, that's not that stupid Mega-Man cover-art that I remember.
You shoulod do a second one, only this time, you get the character design right.

bocodamondo responds:

i never ment that this IS that old odd megaman from the covers. i just ment that remember how odd he looked and so out the shape of the real megeman. well this is just like it, not IT, just like it. i dont like to explain the joke :/

[Armored Samus]

I don't think you went overboard with the shading, you just didn't soften the shading. The whole piece is quite good, it just needs softer shading & lighting. And I'm disappointed that you didn't show Samus's face through the glass in the helmet. That would've been a neat touch.

bocodamondo responds:

yeah, i think i can do that visible eyes thing for my next armored samus artwork.

[Nocturne Op.37 No.1 in G minor]

I love just about everything in this piece, the lighting, the character design, the color scheme, and the detail. This room also looks a lot like my room (minus the trash-can and my walls are more of a cherry red). Kudos to you, sir!

Aigis responds:

Thank you!

[D.Y]

One hell of an improvement, love the sketch outlines, it gives the artwork some much needed style.
Though, the boobs are so far apart that it's kinda ridiculous. The arms are positioned quite well, and agree with the rest of the body.
Even though i hate Yoko for the fact that one of the only reasons she's even there in Gurren Laggan is just for some pointless fan-service that I, personally think will be the death of the anime industry, i think she is a good way to learn dynamic poses, and learn how to make bad fan-service anime characters.
Good work, and don't stop improving!

bocodamondo responds:

yeah i was afraid the breasts are too far away from each other

[Road Of The Dead]

Great zombie movie game TV show poster, Deathink! Quite detailed and it gets me hyped for the next one!
Also, i opened that URL...You fucking tease, you....

deathink responds:

Haha, when I uploaded it the game was released, butevil-dog had to take it down for a little while, it will be back up soon.

[Pieces of the Sky]

This is the best anime related drawing I've seen in a while, really nice new technique. Lovin' the birds and the clouds.
This is just nice. Finally! An anime styled drawing that isn't sexualized.

ZakkVanBurace responds:

Thank you so much!
I don't like to sexualize my drawings, I don't want people to like my artworks just because they show boobs XD

[Logan]

Improve you're drawings, dammit! Improve you're proportions. Improve you're facial drawings. Improve you're shadings. Improve you're grammar/English. And improve you're overall style. Seriously, dude.

bocodamondo responds:

aw come on . dont be so grumpy ^^ . i just wanted some fun and you want to ruin it. not everything has to be 100% perfect, if you hate my art soo much that you say i have to improve on everything, then just look away, there's blillion better artists then me out there..or here

also , improve my shading? um. no. im perfectly happy how i do shading in flash, i dont want to change anything on it. my shading on photoshop however...
