HeartisttheArtist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Leapin' Jack]

Cool how much you were able to be inspired from a single line! Jack has a great villain design, and seems like he’d be a really fun and even endearing foe.

MetalDoom responds:

Fun and strangely endearing is exactly what I was aiming for! Glad you seem to agree!

[Year of the Rabbit]

Badass! Is this Heartbreaker’s ultimate form?

BeastKing05 responds:

A twisted version of her first armor, due to her being turned into a vampire.

[H'addith]

Love the bright and saturated colors, the complete opposite of what I usually think and see when it comes to alien elder gods. Incredible stuff! I like the insect aspects of the design.

MrCreeep responds:

thank you!

[Miracle Girl Cover]

Very intriguing indeed! I hope that your comic gets picked up, I'd love to see it and get to know more about it. You're a talented artist and creator, getting to see you work on a comic is something I'd love to see happen! Best of luck to you, my dude.

DylanRFagan2099 responds:

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ll keep you updated on how it’s going!

[Commission - Swimsuit Pearl [part 2]]

Wasn't expecting to see more of this, but I'm really happy that we get to! Absolutely spectacular work, my dude! Pearl is gorgeous!

citalopram-overdose responds:

Thanks, it's been a great time working on these commissions

[Happy Birthday HeartisttheArtist!]

Now this is my kind of birthday cake.

citalopram-overdose responds:

Glad you liked it!

[Spooktober - Felicia]

You know, since she’s canonically a nun—how does she manage to get all her hair to fit under her habit?

citalopram-overdose responds:

That's a great question Jay! you see, Felicia can also transform into a small cat, so it's just cat magic.

[Prime]

I love the lighting and shading catching the textures of the metal! I love your design fro Prime, taking influence from the live-action movie design, while still making your own distinct take.
I’m glad to have found you and your art! Great stuff, my dude.

GloomFlower responds:

Thankies, doing my best! I had a pretty good time noodling around this one, went through a bunch of iterations along the way.

[Mystral]

She doesn't look like a Wind of Destruction...
Great art, I like how you combined different aspects of them both and made them gel!

Diet-Heck responds:

thanks tho, yeah she's missing that Desperado tag
