mysteriousOne3's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Annalynn MD Art & Logo]

@SparkBag Thank you for helping @CruiseElroy with making the artwork for his game. It means a lot. Like to address some things… 1.) The bacteria and Annalynn MD characters are distinct, colorful, and expressive in line with their character. 2.) Perfectly utilized highlighting/shading for distinguishing 3D objects such as the tablets and the pill (love the fact you add a crater to indicate the depth in the middle noice all around). 3.) The logo juxtaposed perfectly with the unique Pill “MD” acting as a focal point for players and also it gives me Final Fantasy 7 vibes despite not matching the gameplay of the PS1 classic. 4.) Background is effective with the light/dark contrast of orange/brown. The smaller bubbles are a little tricky to make out - especially at the mid to the top as they nearly match the background - but still good enough to see. 5.) Everything is well anatomized such as Annalynn arms, legs, and torso. and the little legs on the red bacteria. All in all grand job lightworker.

Gotta say, you are a gift to the world and definitely are a blessing to all. Just know, the blessing is you, not your art alone. You are a blessing to those around you, and that’s the truth. And so is @CruiseElroy, regardless he made the game or not. You both are awesome and I pray you have a life of love and eternal gratitude and blessings all around. Anyway, keep the light flowing Doc.

P.S. I couldn’t access the game on Newgrounds, but I could only make it to the menu screen. I can’t select play, so I don’t know what gives. Just saying. Anyway, blessings being of light.

[Day 23: Bulma]

@ndasfw This is a wholesome take on the titular Bulma Briefs if I ever seen it. Distinguishing her Dragon Ball counterpart, I can see you utilized pink to the max. In the shirt, bow, logo, bike, heck in the driveway/directional lines too. Noice job with the proportions of her and the bike - both look appropriately shaped and positioned according to the piece itself. Love the reflection on the bike’s overhead, with the highlighting emphasizes the cloud and blue sky and feels more real in a sense. The brush strokes of yellow, purple, blue/gray, and of course pink highlight and add dimension to the piece swimmingly smooth. Excellent shading on the bottom and the tires and noice work with the position of the bikes slanted direction - gives the realistic non existent road vibe. Also nice use of pink in the logo - creative choice to color B to A - with closed spaces regardless, it feels like it’s going back to its roots - from point B to A.

All in all, let’s admit this was beautiful in its own right and that you did a awesome job. But, my friend: Never forget your more than an artist as Bulma is more than a pretty face. You are made of love and are love as well as how you made Bulma here. She and You are both blessed in how you represent yourself to the world. And just by being you @ndasfw, miracles happen. After all, your a miracle, not just an artist. As for Bulma, not just a pretty face.

So never forget who you are lightworker, and as always: Keep the light flowing, Sensei Sister.

Very very thoughtful comment, thank you, I really appreciate you!

[Sonic]

@Tristan777N I must be honest. Beautiful, for starters, textured gradient of appearing wavy - free and blowing like the wind. A Knight of the Wind if I say so myself. Second, the Sonic image is well placed along with your artwork and adds a literal “side” to Sonic’s character here. He is funky and loves to groove, like he did in Green Grove, except without the extra “o”. Your logo, is positioned, juxtaposed, and sized enough that it isn’t taking attention away from your artist rendition of SONIC on the left. And yet, it also perfect to view which watermelon and strawberry combo is interesting… very interesting indeed. ;-} Now, for the artwork itself. Sonic is 1.) highlighted/shaded accordingly, 2). Dynamic pose stands out and shows his “Ready to Go” mindset in a sweet subtle manner; 3). color scheme is slick and his facial expression is slick and cool and a profound focal point of the piece. And, overall, well done that it’s Sonic. What more can you want. I am confused about the triangle on his head though, is that supposed to add dimension to his “eyebrow” if so, noice work. Also, lining is good too, noice YOU! :-} }

ANYWAY, just want to say that: You work has not gone to waste. In fact, it has and will dazzle others much like myself to the point of creating. Which, you want to share your gifts with the world, and the world would want to share it’s gifts with you. Of love and peace. And, you, are not worth the hassle of sleep deprivation or unhealthy practices - YOU DESERVE HEALTH, LOVE, AND SLEEP, so please take care of yourself, ok?

Anyway (x232) hope you feel loved, and appreciated for your work. @Tristan777N Keep the light flowing, Sonic Shining Warrior. Keep the light flowing. And blessings to you all the way. Yeah.:-}

Tristan777N responds:

Omg tysm!!!!! =^_^= yes the triangle on the eyebrow is just a stylization choice, I developed it from phantomarcade

[wordgirl]

@Penpal-P Gotta say, noice work on WordGirl. Each drawing is well shaded, your use of line thick/thin(ness) is incredible subtle, simple, and sweet, like ya girl. And Huggy and Be- I mean Word Girl’s facial expressions are somehow different and subtly expressive - I’m guessing the bottom left pick is her wondering about something instead of the “happy sweet” face on the top left corner. Color scheme feels warm and fits with her character - I noticed there isn’t a star on Huggy but it may be a costume from a specific episode so good job regardless. Also, can’t believe you put the actual definition (or IMG) of Cumbersome. Despite it’s just a photo, it works really well ‘cause that’s WG’s character - part of it anyway. She says it how it is and details the definition of a word. And you showed it well, my man, noice job. I.e. So simple. So subtle. So sweet.

You have a gift my great man. You also make a lot of cool characters/ocs I’ve noticed. No, you make beings of light - your characters - because you are one. I hope your characters get recognized and I hope you love you for being you. Pray you okay, bro-hey.

Anyway, keep the light flowing, light girl. I mean light boy. I mean Lightworker. Or whatever you are. ;-}

P.S. What would words be if we made our own definitions for them - from our own light? Hmmmm? All I know is Wordgirl would be outta a job, and we certainly don’t want that now, do we? ….. Do we?…..Do we…..?

[Putt-Putt Does His Taxes (1997)]

WOW, @ElectroNat, can’t believe you found a copy of PUTT PUTT Does His Taxes, and uploaded the cover art, noice. Anyway, might as well critique this simple yet amazing piece despite the fact you only found of course. *disguised wink for no reason at ALL* Well, the title on the bottom is colored appropriately to avoid view ability (i.e. blue over blue or blue under bright bright yellow). The Humongous Entertainment logo, I mean Humongous debt logo, wait huh? That’s not the logo, huh? And, what’s this? A tax return with a rugged message to hand over the 1.7 Billion or PUTT PUTT will DIE?!!?! WHA-!?!?!?!??!?!?!????!!?!!

Well, anyway, whoever, made this did well utilizing the burn/dodge brushes for both shading/highlighting the road like exclamation mark under the titular character. Also, PP’s design is simple yet effective and cute to boot - in a solemn way - highlighting is also placed here well. The top left logo is simple and has pajama sam’s color scheme for some reason, which is interesting - since they already had a color scheme down below; but, nonetheless the top left logo stands out and exibits HE’s I mean Hd’s childlike fun persona. Oh, and the text below the Bottom title is well juxtaposed, sized, and positioned. They really did a good job. didn't they @ElectroNat?

I’m sorry, however that the game left you speechless … not in a good way. I’m guessing this is referring to the Atari S.A. - the owners of HE - went bankrupt in 2013. And, sometimes, you want games to keep coming out. Though, because you shared this “cover art from the game” *innocent wink for no reason at ALLLLLL* - - - The fact still remains: You love HE and the games they made. And sharing your love for it - for the people behind it - and the stories you had with these games - can spark miraculous changes. Hey, I just happened to hear from a man name #))#*)(*@$)(* That Tommo acquired HE brand and made a Nintendo Switch compliation with UFO Interactive - Look it up, I DARE YOU, LIGHTWORKER. I TRIPPLE DIPPLE DOGGO DAREWIN YOUEFER!!!!

And hey, whoever, made this cover art and the game of course, I hope they are doing alright. And I hope, you are doing alright too, lightworker. And, with that, @ElectroNat, keep the light flowing. And thanks for allowing me to join the collab of clowns without frowns - or at least weapons.

Also, personal opinion, this might be more of a teen entry, as it has douchebag and references to kill Putt Putt. So, hope that helps, and be safe lightworker. Don’t want you to get banned now , ya heare?

[Archie Sonic Online promo art]

leroyalmess, kudos to you and your perfect recreation of the Sonic and Knuckles logo — well, without Sonic and Knuckles. First off, the yellow glow effect has a unique backdrop along witht the grid Sega Genesis layout and assuming that you used the dodge tool to brighten it. Noice. Sally and Bunnie D’ Coolette’s logos are well highlighted, colored, and contrasted with orange background behind Sally’s silhouette. The simple hairs or fur sharps really add enough detail for distinguishing anamorphic animal characters.

The most interesting thing to me is the highlight, coloring, and brush effect you used on the eyes, they reflect in a way that feels like the early 90’s again. And the same style as the aforementioned Sonic and Knuckles logo. I am confused as to why you used orange instead of brown for Sally as orange - at least in SATAM - could associate with Tails more so than Sal. Regardless, it looks all encompassing and noice and Bunnie’s ears are smoothed, highlighted, and positioned appropriately within the piece.

But, also: you did an amazing job. I mean that exponentially. In reviews such as these, I try to reflect on pieces of art and also give the artist some love. Because, through how long you’ve made it, how far you have gone, you are an angel, harking a song. Through your creative genius and heart of a man. You are a gift to humanity, as was the plan.

Never forget, leroyalmess, the people that love you; and, don’t forget that you made it this far. And have blessed so much. You, after all, give it your special touch.

And that includes the art you made - for others and for you. My fellow, you’ve done a lot, and seen it through. Hope this encourages the one I’m talking about to know and see their worth: You, and your worth is more than your career will ever be. Take care and keep the light flowing, wall art enthusiast.

god damn thank you mysteriousOne3

[HIDING]

Cassanova, I have got to praise you for your commitment to this project and the potential you are giving it. But, first off, the lighting is clear along with the overall animation (gif). The compressions of the shoulders and breasts are fluid yet appropriately long enough. It’s a little hard to see the message, but that might be a point you’re trying to make: A mysterious fiend is hunting or asking where they are. I noticed that the gif slows down at the last word frame - assuming that emphasizes the absolute terror of Lucy and Jasmine. Somehow you also conveyed the setting with minimal details as possible - the subway I presume. Good use of minimal design. By brother of RPG, are you aware of ICO, of playstation 2? A classic beyond compare of design by subtraction.

But, all in all, I want to congratulate you for this piece and bless your good name that you are healthy and well out of the hospital. Your light was definitely missed here. I pray that you take care of yourself, love yourself, and priortize your well being of self over your career or projects, @PringusMcDingus said he had that problem too. Just be careful light-worker.

Though, I’m curious how you’ll use this story to enhance the spiritual side of humanity all accounting how media is depicting Lucy as a racist to Jasmine for instance. So, I’m not sure how you will explore themes of spirituality or storytelling in this stage. But, I feel you know what you are doing and will bless us with your light work once again. ’Til next time, dream on being of hope.

[SHADOW]

GuyFromSomewher3, I gotta say, the burn or shading on “Shadeow” is subtle yet awesomely implemented. The highlights on his knee, shoes, gun, and body are appropriate and fairly placed. The sheer detail in the specific shapes on the gun are well appreciated as well as the Dodge brush or highlighting on them as well. Your depth in conveying 3D aspects such as the hole under Shadow’s shoes and his body emphasize your understanding of dimensions and anatomy of the character. Finally, the logo and the dotted texture are integrated appropriately to stand out behind Shadow for him to stand out. I noticed a few pixels are missing at the top white shaded corner of the logo - but if that’s intentional or not - it still complements the piece.

I gotta say, a word of truth: GuyFromSomewher3, I implore you to see. That that somewhere… is a place… of … Love. You are in an amazing place of love here and in light. You are not the Shadow of darkness, you are a beacon - of love. You put effort into your work and show how hard you care about your craft and all the people involved with it. May love help you realize that you are a light that is blessed and you deserve love and know: You From Love Boy! You FROM LOVE>>>!!!!!!!!! YEAHH!!!!!! REPRESENT!!!!!

Anyway, keep the light flowing, beacon. Of love… And light.

[Worth It]

Love is a powerful thing, it can fill you up and make your heart go zing. It’s more than just a bodily thing. It’s worth more than an expensive ring. And this animation shows why. The complimentary feedback, first: 1. Great job matching the lighting on the big guys shirt; 2). Good use of expressions and in-between frames to make the flow concise enough. 3). Good use of brown to balance the dynamic and static colors making the characters and setting stand out. And 4). Good use of light with white blodges, and use of lines/movement/everything.

However, the funny thing is, the animation makes it seem like he’s ready for some lovin’ but it really emphasizes that with the alien. Which is interesting…

HOWEVER, however, I’d like to say that the animation shows pure companionship and how relationships can help you grow and feel good about yourself and them. But, neverthesless, in conclusion, yatta yatta yattae… Love is not only of the body, it’s a mix for romantic partners for sure. But, love means so much more. And like no before, these two open the door. And embrace the spirit of love within them and the light. i.e. Love is…. Noice. Keep the light flowing lightworkers. Keep the light flowing. Yessiree Bob!

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review! It really has made my day to read this. I'm so happy you think this is a good animation, and yes! I want love to be expressed in all forms! Love is all you need! 💖

[Ayanami]

Gotta hand it to ya, lightworker. You surprise me and everyone in the best way possible, by creating what you love and sharing that love with others. Excellent use of shading or burn brush, on the mask and Ayanami’s skirt, hair, body, you get the gist, right? Excellent texture on the clouds, matches the computer-esque side of Neon Genesis Evangelion, along with the thin line strokes on the Evangelion. Noice use of light brushing or highlighting on the hair. Not sure if you use the dodge feature on photoshop…but, good overall. And, I gotta say, your style just snaps into my mind - it’s distinct, I know it right from the bat, and it’s all- you.

You put your heart and soul into these pieces of contribution and it means a whole lot to us, because - you are a gift to this world. Just by doing, being, loving —— you. And, that’s good. Really …. Really good. Keep bringing your work for you and love yourself. You deserve it, super sayain warrior, keep the light flowing, bro’in.
