jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Denzel Crocker]

Denzel Crocker was probably my favorite side character in Fairly OddParents!

...If it's okay, though, one gripe I have is that the pose and its silhouette looks too compact and complicated, like it's an in-between drawing towards a key pose (in animation) instead of the striking key pose itself. Fairly OddParents excelled at simple, readable silhouettes and shape language whenever the characters moved, resulting in some very striking and unmistakable poses.

I'm sure this is just a little one-off fan art, so you could easily ignore my critiques, but if you don't want to ignore it, I would encourage learning more about easy-to-comprehend "silhouettes" and how the beauty of cartoon characters is that you can easily squash and stretch them just to make the "silhouette" more more exciting for the audience.

Of course the artist makes the coolest sand castle!

InsaneDingoArt responds:

lol she goes all in!

[11. Alien Hominid]

This "Alien Hominid" game stuck out like a sore thumb (in the best way possible) when it originally released on GameCube. Remember, I was not familiar with Newgrounds then, smaller "indie" games made by someone other than Nintendo, SEGA, Capcom, Rockstar Games, etc. were either very niche or straight-up didn't exist to the general public in the "PS2 era", and to this day it's remarkable that Alien Hominid even got a physical console release while indie devs even today struggle to get their games on Steam, let alone the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Game Pass or especially a physical CD/cartridge release!

Candy Kong is returning to monke, slowly but surely.

[Shoes off in the house!]

Great joke, but I take it you need a little bit of time to get back into drawing?

FrajjaCat responds:

Thanks man! And I have been feeling a little burnt out art wise, so doing something quick and simple like this helps since I don't want to just stop drawing completely, plus I have been busier as of late haha

[recent stuff]

First character is from either the GBA or GameCube Fire Emblem game, right? Either way, I always felt she had an excellent and striking character and costume design!

...Whatever her name is and where exactly she's from.

[Trafalgar Law]

I decided to skip straight to the EggHead arc of One Piece, thinking watching a random few of the One Piece animated movies as well as the surprisingly-okay live-action take on the East Blue arc was enough information for me to know whatever the hell is going on. I am currently suffering the consequences of that decision.

LadyKuki responds:

Oh yeeeah... you'd really want to read the whole thing, IMO. Reading the manga is surprisingly fast; I was able to read almost 300 chapters in about a month and a half. Each chapter is roughly 18-20 pages long and can be read in 5 minutes.

[Crocostimpy]

This is perhaps just one of many reasons why my parents wouldn't let me watch Ren and Stimpy growing up. Pure nightmare fuel.

[casual tactician]

Smug grins are your specialty, eh?
