jthrash's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[NaThAn PlUsHiEeEeEeEeEeeE]

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

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

[Ike]

I like Ike.

Potatoman responds:

Dude that was 70 years ago

[Kirby fully loaded]

These “transformations” look so ridiculous that I actually want this game, now.

gatekid3 responds:

I love it.

[Tifa Posing]

Perhaps the only real downside to leaving Twitter is that I don’t understand some of these memes anymore. How are Tifa and Italy connected?

Great job on the pose, btw. Very read-able! And I still like how you draw noses.

Flikki responds:

Heh, okay so, in January there was a meeting in the Italian senate about something or other over zoom, when suddenly someone hacked in and put on Tifa x Cloud sfm porn on the screen for about 10 seconds. It's quite funny, and it seems like they had a bit of a laugh over it. So now Tifa is kinda Italian in the eyes of the Internet.

So yeah, I'm p.late to the party in making this, but better late than never.

Also thanks! Noses are p.funny, so it's fun to play around with them.
