jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chrono Bigger Scene]

This is how the PS1 port should have looked. It would have at least justified the longer loading times of that version, although practically every Chrono Trigger port since then is superior in every way. I personally grew up with the DS Version!

SuperPhil64 responds:

I grew up on the SNES version(rented it constantly), and after the N64 came out it was almost impossible to find a copy of it. I remember being really excited when I found out my friend had the PS1 version, being extremely excited at the new cut scenes, and then immediately baffled at there being load times to get into battles lol. Thankfully I discovered emulation around that time too.

[Joy Painter]

I told you she was painting ART.

InsaneDingoArt responds:

lol! I mean i guess you ain't wrong.

This is a fantastic aesthetic. If you don't mind some constructive criticism, I think you should work on the shader a bit to make it look more like rope or fabric. As it stands, the specular sheen kind of makes it look like Twizzler candies instead of yarn (although that would honestly look super-creative if you can make it look more like an intentional design choice that adds to the story or animation).

Finally, regarding the turnaround, I've found in my own attempts at posting simple 3D turnarounds in the Movie Portal that people do NOT like seeing videos that do not have complex stories, do not need sound and voice acting, or come across as experimental shitposts, despite such shorter videos being the norm on TikTok, Twitter and practically any social media site younger than Facebook and especially Newgrounds--and they will let you know with bad reviews. Personally I think this "Boomer" mentality of gatekeeping against shorter videos and only celebrating long videos made by professional teams is bad for creativity/experimentation and will hinder the chances of someone on this site making Newgrounds relevant once more by encouraging someone to struggle to make the next "Friday Night Funkin'" or "Smiling Friends", similar how Hollywood and traditional media continues to quash any signs of innovation from creative types in the industry, but it is what it is, and it may be better to just post turnaround renders on YouTube and especially ArtStation and share the link in the much-more forgiving Art Portal.

NathanDzul responds:

Yooo thank you for the feedback, currently im just experimenting with blender watching some tutorial and trying to do something interesting with it, and yeah, the fabric does look a bit weird, specially with how the texture streches to the sides qwq
also yeah, it did not go very well with the turnaround video, so next time ill upload it to my youtube so hopefully it works better there, in a certain way it made sense but i was not prepared with the reception it had, even my first songs here (that were awful) didnt have that sort of score....although they didnt even have any score to begin with so

[Dingo Chillaxin']

I envy the dingo.

InsaneDingoArt responds:

Just grab yourself a coke and chill outside :) you'll be good!

[Lil Doodle of Me]

Drawing on a phone…I don’t even want to think about that…did you at least use a cheap stylus?

CinnaBunn responds:

Yep! A combination of a cheap stylus and my finger haha

[spaghetti disco!?]

I like how you hid the lady’s face entirely with Shrimp’s snout.

chupng responds:

gotta love that schnoz

[Milque Chan y Tetsuko]

Why she so mean?!

alicemargiela responds:

gaslighting is fun

[klonoa]

Wait, it’s a “remaster?” But the graphics look different than the original, wouldn’t it qualify as a “remake?” Whatever, the majority of the English language has lost all its meaning. Reject English, return to Phantomile.

ChipsGoWOAH responds:

im terrible with works i dont understand the difference and ive discussed this with people multiple times on the difference of a remaster to a remake, when the gameplay and story are kept the same i call it a remaster, when its something like the new final fantasy VII i call it a remake but i might be wrong thats just what i decided to call it lol
