jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[edgy soup]

It’s pretty dark between my gallbladder and large intestines, you wanna have a look?

[Super Half-Life 2]

It took playing the Metroid Dread demo (and later the full game) for me to finally “get” the appeal of Metroidvanias! Maybe Nintendo should put out more demos for anything that’s not Mario or Zelda to help sales.

Also I’ll get around to trying Half-Life eventually, quit tryin’ to remind me all the time!

SuperPhil64 responds:

Dread is so good! Nintendo needs to start getting better at proactively advertising their non main series games. Maybe Metroid wining a few Awards will convince them to start doing that. HL2 also is excellent, I shan't stop!

[Amy Rose]

Amy looks so good in your style!

[Pray]

Nuns can’t marry because they are effectively “married” to Jesus Christ or something. And preying mantis wives eat the heads off their husbands after having sex.

…Oh no! She’s going to eat Jesus’s head off!!

SourCherryJack responds:

Well, it's a good thing he comes again.

[Design Isn't Dead]

Design isn’t Dead! You’re just focusing on your Aunt using Comic Sans in a Minions meme instead of all the great stuff that takes a lot more time and patience to make!

Dasuq responds:

Aaah i've missed you! Welcome back to my comments section!

[son the hedge stream paint]

But wait, is this modern Sonic or classic Sonic. Or (Gasp) both?!

[Lum]

Now this is one Americanized take on anime that actually looks appealing!

[Xi the Poo(h)]

@BeezleBoob Technically it’s just the original, shirtless version of Pooh that’s public domain. But yes, the things people will do with the copyright-free Pooh will be the stuff of legends!

[Warmup - Sigurd and the Dragon]

Once again, the composition is stunning here. I know it’s early in the month, but I’d say this is a good contender for a more polished painting later down the line!

[Dolores Madrigal]

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about Encanto, especially its "safe-even-by-Disney-standards," plastic-looking art style that I think is starting to look stiff compared to Sony Animation's stuff, but Dolores is definitely one of the prettiest and most appealing character designs in the entire movie. The entire premise and world of the movie is insanely creative, too, even if I could tell certain aspects were inspired by My Hero Academia or Disney's own movies.

gatekid3 responds:

I disagree. This movie is incredibly full of life. Its obviously "Disney-looking" and more of the same which some people might be sick of, but i wouldn't call it plastic or stiff. the range of motion in the characters and how far they push certain expressions was amazing. The hair texture and overall visual variety in the characters was really nice to see. I do think sony has pushed style a lot farther than Disney has from what i've seen.
I get how you could say its my hero inspired, but thats mainly just because of the "everyone has power except for main character" but even then i dont think you can really say its my hero -like because my hero tackles many different themes. My hero has a lot about personal growth, society as a whole and what we focus on, passing the torch to the next generation , etc, while Encanto is much more contained talking about family, and the pressures of both not being as special and being the one thats special

I could probably talk about while i love this movie for ages though
