jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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

[Pretty Kitty]

I'm sure my Mom would appreciate you essentially drawing her oldest cat here (technically he's male, but he's neutered and says "Screw you!" to gender norms as a result).

cats good

[RUMBUUUU part 2]

Reminds me of similar character designs I made but wasn't smart enough to refine and publish, like "Ninja Nuisance" and "Flatulencia the Silent-But-Deadly Ninja."

[Faces]

Those are indeed faces, but can you punch them like in WeirdRikert’s hit Steam game?

[Happy New Year 2022]

Lucky for Skye, she wouldn’t see the Dislikes anymore, anyway. At least not publicly.

[2022]

Well…at least we know more, now. I can at least cope by exercising in wide open, empty outdoor spaces knowing that viruses tend to be far less contagious in that specific environment. Also, my current animation project will ensure I stay away from people and the news until 2024 or so. Otherwise, yeah it sucks that at this point we can only hope our world leaders do a better job this year of vaccinating the entire world to prevent increasingly deadly and contagious variants from forming and we all have to be MORE careful, not less, than we are already being until then…

[PISSED]

I have never feared for my life more than I have at this moment…

[POGGERS]

P-PAWGGERS!! (Whimper)
