jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gigan]

Gigan's got a nice, healthy sense of self-worth! I like it!

[Blonde]

Is it weird that I actually prefer jet-black hair to blonde hair these days? Though both are beautiful in their own right, I just don't want women with black hair to believe that only "Blonde girls have more fun."

[Eggman Runs faster than Sonic]

That part before the final boss of Sonic 2 still weirds me out. I think Sonic CD also had scenes where Dr. Robotnik somehow escapes Sonic simply by running faster. Must be a lot of muscle under all that blubber!

[The Big Gummy Worm]

I am worm, watch me squirm.

[Birthday Cake]

Happy Birthday! Also, no wonder the cake is heavy for your OC, they barely seem taller than the kitchen counter! That cake must be ginormous for them!

Also, don't quite know the gender of your OC, which is why I'm saying "they" instead of "he" or "she."

Finasty responds:

"She"

[A Quick Message from Kijo]

It's been almost two years since I dabbled in an AI art app before people told me the consequences of doing so. I still have not even found one way that such tools would be useful for ANYTHING or save me time (still not good enough to use as reference compared to plain-old photo reference, particularly for anatomy, it takes too much manual editing to make an AI-generated image useful, and this is all assuming these databases can survive all the copyright lawsuits and I can even consider using them at all without getting sued or fined).

Yet major tech and Hollywood companies seem to have already decided the technology is good enough to replace human interaction in general. Good news is that there are signs that neural networks actually will not be as adaptive as the human brain in our lifetime and tend to "hallucinate" (basically trying to solve creative and shades-of-gray problems with math equations like a glorified calculator trying to figure out the solution to world hunger), and like crypto art and the "Metaverse" before it, it's a weird cult that is only making money right now because investors see it as the "future" and throw money at it, but it's not profitable or sustainable and honestly might go away on its own in a spectacular market crash, yet again.

Still, anybody that seems intent on stealing your art (either the old-fashioned way of downloading the JPEG off a website and hawking it as an NFT or using it in a neural network without your consent) is someone you should probably never work for.

So yeah, support real artists, don't give attention to Silicon Valley's latest false god.

[Aloof Guy]

Don't judge a book by its anime design tropes.

[Patchery]

Thaaaat's a lotta meat.

[Happy Presidents' Day!]

RICHAAAAAARRRRRRRD!!

[Stick-Riot: Character Revisions/Redesigns]

3rd one is my favorite!
