retroarcademonkey's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[It's over isn't it]

Incredible work, man. I would totally pay to see an animation from you covering that scene. That would be tight as hell.

And THA LIGHTS LOOK SO GOOD SHIT YES

ZeTrystan responds:

The ENTIRE scene? Hahaha. I don't think I would be able to do that! ;D (but thanks a bunch!)

Lights are fun things!

[Junkrat and Roadhog BFFs]

Oh god this is amazing dude! I freakin love the way you drew Junkrat lol. I'm callin' him gremlin junkrat

ZeTrystan responds:

Haha, I'm actually making a CLEAN big fanart of him! (but it took too much time, so I made this drawing instead of finishing the linart. :'D)

[Keaton - Fire Emblem Fates]

I love this so much!! The detail in the eyes and the hair...! God, I love this one from you, mate!

It's not often I see you do face close-ups with your art, so seeing this was really fantastic! And seeing you be able to do this kind of art is awesome. THAT SHADING THO

ZeTrystan responds:

Woah, thanks Retro! Happy you like it! :D

Haha, this is my sorta manga/detailed style, I'm really not used to it. So I put all my love into the shading part, to hides errors. :'D

[Heavy Metal Piper]

Hahaaahh, you got Piper down! Love the amount of detail on the robotic limbs and robotic areas on Piper, lol. Though I'm not ENTIRELY sure she has the key to the Sleepycabin JUST yet tho!

Seriously man, fantastic job on this! I'm a pretty big fan on this sort of artwork, and the amount of small little references and amazing attention to detail on everything are absolutely incredible. This is why you're one of my favorite artists here, cause you can make a sick-ass metal illustration if you want to.

deathink responds:

Thanks my man, it really means a lot to me.

[Apollo and Phoenix]

I am in love with this. The sexual kind,

Carbonwater responds:

Hot.

[Kawaii Desu Itadakimasu Manga Anime]

Best improvement.

And hahah, this is really amazing! Really like the sparkly background, too! And I just love kinda the messy forrest-dweller look ya got going on with this one!

Heh, awesome stuff man!

ZeTrystan responds:

Needs more kawaii.

Hahaha, the outfit is actually based on my "usual" outfit. Which explains the amount of green everywhere.

Thanks!

[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]

Now this film I saw a couple months ago on a whim, not at all regretting that decision. Probably one of my favourite anime films, and Patrick Stewart and Shia LaBeouf voicing in the dub only made it better.

Fantastic film, and this is also a pretty great illustration! Like the way you drew the terrain and creatures, it's pretty god damn fantastic.

Probably one of my favourite Ghibli movies for very small reasons, like how this movie paved the way for Evangelion's crazy flowing animation, helped Hideaki Anno get his start in the anime industry, and how the movie moved along both story wise and visually. Plus this was technically the first Ghibli movie so good stuff mate

And YOU'RE DOING CASTLE IN THE SKY?!?! OH YES THIS GON BE GUD.

TheUnseriousguy responds:

thanks man! Yeah this is a really great movie, im not sure if its one of my favourite miyazaki films but that doesnt mean i dont absolutely adore this movie, even bought the storyboard book from it. And it is always cool to watch this movie and see how anno animated that amazing looking giant creature, definitely reminds me of evangelion when i see that thing.

[Lupin III!]

Woah that's weird. I just watched this film a few days ago, now I see this. Heh.

This is a pretty awesome stylistic piece! I see that you were trying to loosely base your art style around Ghibli's trademark look, especially with the character's mouths. And good god the backgrounds..! Good shit, man.

I do feel like the perspective is a little bleh with the way the foreground awkwardly interacts with the background, but it works.

Castle of Cagliostro is a film that really doesn't matter if you haven't seen the other Lupin III movies or show, since it's really it's own compact story that Ghibli fucked around with. Technically, this ain't even a Ghibli movie, but whatever.

TheUnseriousguy responds:

I first saw this when i was a little kid and until only a few years ago i didnt even know there was other lupin stuff out there, shows just how great of a stand alone film this is

[Vault 108]

This looks like it would've been one hell of a Fallout fan game. This pixel art style works.

Fucking make this. Resurrect it from the dead so we can all play it. You talented fucker.

deathink responds:

Thanks a real lot man. I really want to, so who knows... maybe sometime in the future.
