HeartisttheArtist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[MARKETABLE NINJIRO ACTION FIGURES]

Man, now I’m kinda bummed that I’ll never be able to put these on my desk. I wanted to stain my hands with the kind of paint that never quite dries that I just know Ninjoe is sloppily painted with. But only from the front, obviously.

MetalDoom responds:

Trust me, it's better this way. You would not believe the lead content in Ninjoe's paint. If even a particle of it manages to slip into your mouth, it's a one-way trip to the emergency room.

[Protoman]

Proto Man is one of my favorite Mega Man characters—he’s as enigmatic he is badass. Awesome artwork of him!

KnightLineArt responds:

Thanks! I like him quite a bit too. So I was happy to get to drawing him again, and this time, in a fully colored piece!

[New Years Eve with Ginger Snap (2023)]

Ginger is a real pretty gal, and she’s got a real cool dress!

FeralRoku responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

[DEMON CORE GODZILLA]

I'm a huge fan of Taku's artwork, especially his Demon Core designs. You did an incredible job rendering all the details and textures that feel fitting for Godzilla, yet still recognizably being his design. It's like you gave it a Shin Godzilla treatment! Truly badass stuff.

SpaceDragon14 responds:

Thanks!

[VENOM]

Even though they're far more blue than black, I'v always loved Venom's colors in MvC1 and 2. You captured them brilliantly, wonderful stuff!

SpaceDragon14 responds:

I'm a fan of blue venom, I think it fits him well specially in retro settings
my introduction to Venom was the PS1 Spiderman game and he's blue there as well
I love the pitch black versions too as usual, but there's something special on the blue idk

[ARSENAL FRAME FENRIR]

You nailed the vibe you were going for, I could easily see this being the boxart for a hidden gem of a game.

EthanDoesaThing responds:

Mission accomplished, hell yea >:)

[More Bunny Girls!]

Beautiful bunny girls! They all look wonderful, but Pearl and Hekapoo are for sure my favorites. Big shocker, I’m sure lol

citalopram-overdose responds:

very understandable, glad you liked it

[Jill Valentine]

She looks great, my guy! Love how you captured all the little details of her outfit without making it feel cluttered. Jill’s a real cutie!

MercKaiju responds:

Thank you, and she most certainly is a cutie!

[Dawn Turbine]

I love the atmosphere so much! No words spoken and yet so much conveyed. Incredible work!

reaganlodge responds:

Thank you, very cool to hear that! I do try to say more with less in my comics, so it's nice to know it's somewhat getting across.

[Ninjiro and Jennifer's Early Designs]

It’s always interesting to see early versions of characters—there’s a lot of fun to be found in seeing what changed and what stayed the same. Going back and revisiting them can be rewarding, too. I can’t count how many times I looked back and made new characters out of old versions of other characters!

MetalDoom responds:

I love scouring through old concept art, it's always one of my favorite bonus features on anything. Reading about the creator's thought process, seeing how things change, and why those designs were ultimately scrapped. It's so fascinating getting a look into a person's creative process.

It's all the more interesting when an old concept design gets reused for an entirely different character. One of my favorite little facts along those lines is that in MK Deception, Havik's design originally started as a redesign for Noob Saibot. I love bonus content like that and think it's a shame you don't see it as much anymore.
