jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Small Beach]

I am such a sucker for peaceful beach scenes, especially since I grew up along the coast AND grew up with beach-related media throughout my childhood such as SpongeBob SquarePants (of course), Super Mario Sunshine, Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy X! Considering how much I was exposed to the beach even when I stayed inside all day playing video games, is it any wonder I'm gushing about this one specific art piece so much?

This was always such a creepy part of Earthbound! Modern horror games running at 4K120FPS can't match the vaguely-disturbing vibes Moonside gave me with just a few pixels!

[Rafaela with a derringer]

Aww! That gun is so CUTE!

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

we call it "garrucha" a brazilian derringer

[Comm for someone's friend]

Very pretty! I'm even more serious now that your art style could probably get you a job at Disney!

And speaking of concept art--yeah, I've noticed you and others have had to make the unfortunate decision to start watermarking everything you post so that, at the very least, AI art scraping algorithms don't get the highest quality version of your work, but the watermark does seem to have a good balance of being clearly there while not ruining the entire picture too much. If anything, I almost want the watermark to be a smidge more opaque so I can fully read what it says!

Catinyt responds:

thank you so much!!
also, I started using this watermark not 'cause the Ia'S STUFF, BUT BECAUSE SOME PEEPS STARTED USING THE COMMISSIONS I DID FOR OTHER PEEPS AS PFPS :(
ALSO IT JUST SAYS "COMMISSION, DONT USE IT PLEASE" I THINK I HAVE TO FIN ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE IT MORE READABLE? XD
ALSO SORRY FOR ALL THESE CAPITAL SENTENCES, I DONT WANT TO SCREAM AT YOU, LOL

[my odst drawing!]

The top half is fantastic, but it looks like you ran out of energy in the bottom half. Still, the top half is absolutely STUNNING! Keep trying, you clearly have some great potential based on that top half alone (drools at the details)!

gothicseawitch responds:

thanks! i did get tired, my neck hurt for starring all the details down and my nerves where hurting at the end.

This is what happens when you are both the most "alpha" of males and also greatly in touch with your feminine side!

[meeting]

Man, Pim from Smiling Friends got swole!

[Gift - Suika]

At this point, those breasts could function as 3rd and 4th arms!

[Warmup - Star Wars a new hope]

This is actually terrifying to look at, more so than what was possible in live action in 1979!

I hate to be that one guy who makes a critique after all this praise you're getting, but one thing you may want to watch out for in future background drawings is not having lines too close to each other (I'm sorry if I can't remember what my college professors called this). Basically, in this case, to make it more obvious that the chair bottom is closer to us than the book case in perspective, it would help if the chair bottom extends past the bookcase. It looks like the vertical line on the chair almost perfectly touches the vertical edge of the book case, and I guess it makes it look like the chair bottom is flat?

Man, I need to look up that term my professors used so I don't have to explain this in so many words. Either way, this drawing is very entertaining and great overall, I just wanted to help a little bit to make future stuff look even better!

Finasty responds:

Now i understand what you mean, the bookcase is a bit far from the chair in case of perspective, that's why you see the vertical lines almost touched perfectly
