Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The next performance is...]

The tiny thumbs up from inside the hole is what sells this to me. Maybe she'll pop out during a performance to act like the living dead only to lose her balance and fall back into the hole a moment later. I'm sure tickets are already sold out (and I hate being around other people), so let me know how it plays out during their Halloween concert.

Hopefully, you figured out the ear issue. As much as I love no longer having to wear headphones (one of the few perks of living alone), it's much easier to appreciate the subtle background stuff in music that I would normally miss hearing them through my aging speakers (unless I made the music super loud, I guess... rather not do that).

[ghazt]

No clue what My Singing Monsters is... *looks it up* I now possess a clue as to what My Singing Monsters is. Ghazt seems a little... creepy. Your change to its eyes and the simple greeting gesture really softens the appearance. Makes it far more approachable and arguably cute.

ToggleDragon responds:

thank you for giving me an actual review. i never get enough of those.

[fire creature i made yesterday]

The expression is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[toggle pictures and info]

Chill, huh? I don't trust Toggle's face in that full-body image on your "old reference sheet". Got the look of someone who ate the last slice of pizza but didn't properly flatten the box and place it in the recycling bin afterwards. The "old profile picture" is easily the best one. Big fan of the confident close-up shot.

[toggle gets sandwiched]

Toggle seems to be suffering from a "bread"ful experience.

[Ye throw out that bauble!]

Vector in that getup reminds me of Disney's Robin Hood. That film also has a crocodile in it. Unpopular opinion, it's my favorite animated film by Disney, alongside The Sword in the Stone.

Now knowing it was an official outfit for Sonic explains why there is so much more detail put into his appearance compared to Vector's simple black and gold costume. Both look great, but one's clearly more eye-catching than the other.

Not big into poetry. My apologies. It very rarely lands for me and usually only when paired with some other form of media.

I'm a little jealous that you have family trips. I guess that's what normal families are like though.

"Don't like changing history even with embarassing mistakes like this."

Many years ago, I kept a blog and when I revisited it, I noticed all the errors I had made in my oldest posts and began correcting them. After a while, I stopped and asked myself why I was changing the history of how I expressed myself? I couldn't go back and revert the old posts I finished, but I did erase all the edits in the piece I had been in the middle of and I stopped worrying about all my old typos and childish remarks.

[Introducing the extended cut]

I "wonder" if this was inspired by the giant Mario scene from the Koop-zilla episode of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. I also wonder how they tie their shoes like that... among other issues.

ICam2k responds:

I completely forgot about this episode (along with the Red hood one) while working on this drawing until now. Which is odd, I remember watching the entirety of Super Show on Youtube too, including the live skits. To be frank though, pretty much the majority of the Mario series as we know IS inspired by Super Show, so anything goes.

[Are you spooked yet?]

Fresh Halloween content is appreciated all year round and this group seems to represent the three major groups of the holiday - Big Man's the happy treaters you feel inclined to give extra treats for their enthusiasm as they stand at your door. Shiver's the bunch who want to dress up and decorate for scares, but sometimes they take it too far, too. Frye's neither scary nor cute, so she's clearly on the "mature" team who use this as an excuse to cosplay... for reasons. Clearly, I would join Big Man's group on this one.

ICam2k responds:

Frye felt to dress for the spirits. Splatoween spirits it seems.
That being said, same same. May have joined mostly for the Splatfest teams presented (went with the Ghosts between Zombies and Skeletons and guess what, they were winners, yes.) but also because BigMan's costume was just too cool. Simple, but still cool.

[The Raging Red Ravager]

This guy reminds me a little of Spawn and The Maxx. I don't know anything about Jack, but visually he makes a fantastic first impression. No wonder you wanted to redraw him.

TheExtreamH responds:

Jacks an original character of LeHatt, yea his design really stuck on me.

[Poikilothermia]

Shiver looks amazing, despite not being the favourite, but her pose is rather bland... safe. She may be level headed, however, she is still an idol and it's important for her to convey that with something more dynamic... more intimate for the viewer.

What's the significance of the 8th day of "this" month?

ICam2k responds:

Eh, don't worry. She'll get her chance to do so by the time I'll post an another artwork (even though she's not alone in that one)

National Octopus Day. I thought It was pretty funny when I heard about that at first (there's also the Bear Day too), but at the same time, I thought it would be a nice challenge to draw characters for that day's theme specifically.
