Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[A yoshi that can be gifted to Shuanshuan]

I, too, have gifted Yarn Yoshi amiibos to a friend before. He refused them until I bought a second set of the three little ones for myself. Hopefully, Shuan² is not as obnoxious about accepting presents.

[SG Art Team Easter Collab]

And a Happy Easter to you all, as well!
...except for the Bean. I hate you, Bean.

[Her Shadow]

I like how the serpent/dragon shadow has the short, adorable snout rather than the traditionally longer nose of most dragon designs. Goes well with the short, adorable appearance you have set up based upon the angle of the drawing.

[the rest of my cyber stuff]

It's cute trash. It's also something common for a lot of artists... small ideas set aside due to a lack of immediate interest and potentially revisited years later when new ideas make old ideas relevant again. If nothing else, the neotrio might come back as references in future works. One should never not expect the return of syzotgade at some point, whether it be as himself, as a doll held by another OC, on the screen of a device in the background, or in any other unique possible way that the rest of us can not begin to imagine because the mind of a ToggleDragon is complex and chock full of surprises we've yet to see... or maybe it's chock full of thoughts of treasure. Dragons love treasure.

"i thought i should probably thank Phronemophobia" - You shouldn't. The guy's weird and smells like cooked broccoli.

On a side note, tomorrow is a holiday(s) for many, so I'll take this moment to wish you a Happy Easter and/or Passover and/or Kite-Flying, Ham with Pineapple, Lima Bean, and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Appreciation Day. There's so much appreciation to spread out to others this Sunday, possibly because all of today's appreciation has been focused upon Toggle. Thank you, TD.

[It's just blotches]

"And that marks the story about how I impulsively save every work on any device"

Constantly saving my work was the result of being too poor to use MS Word back when I was in college and the pirated software I was stuck using for assignments would sometimes turn all my progress into gibberish that could not be fixed. I also had a computer that was so worn out that it would overheat randomly, too. Save early, save often, and don't override your saves.

Several delightful images. Nothing particularly surprising from Cami aside from the Mario Hotel reference. Didn't think you'd be a fan of YTPs (unless you're the extremely rare fan of CD-i games). Even if it's in a bag, I would rather not touch Grizzco's Fuzzy Bread. Ugh. The image of Rei and Yu is a little disturbing, as well. A pair of ghosts telling me to join them is ominous.

ICam2k responds:

Oooof, I remember how my mom had that issue happen to her too whenever she asked me to help her out to arrange and fix certain documents (at least with the word) so I can see the frustation. Especially when my own laptop is well in its 10 year venture... were its battery has died out recently. Probably should've mentioned that in some of the posts during that time.

But let's not dwell on that and instead allow me to affirm that of course! I'm pretty sure I posted that Morshu pixel art I've made pretty long ago, so it's pretty much an open secret of sort. (can't say the same about the CD-i games, but I do know that I've played Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore during its release, it's an indie that aims to incorporate the wonderful CD-i cutscene greatness while actually providing good gameplay, a simple platformer but it clicks right enough, I have yet to touch on its hard mode)
Puyo Puyo 20th had these two pop in certain scenes where Yu specifically would invite the other parties (even poor Ringo since she's so afraid of ghosts, only because she thinks their prolonged presence is "illogical") included to become ghosts with them through "special" means, so I say the characterization presented here did come out from somewhere. heh

[Labor of Leisure]

It is lovely, colorful, and certainly eye-catching, but I am NOT going to sit on that. Those hands creep my out. I imagine taking a seat only for it to grip onto me and never allow me to stand back up. Being turned into furniture doesn't sound all that appealing, either, though I've seen... "art" that would imply otherwise. I don't like it, but my preferences should have no bearing on the quality of the piece itself.

Good luck to your exhibit at the museum. I hope it garners, at least, a few more fans of your work.

[syzotgade gif and picture]

"don't expect anything else from this character because he does not make me happy anymore"

I... wait. What? How does...?
*attempting to think through a headache*
Oh! Is it because he looks like (or possibly is) a protogen? I saw something about those being divisive within furry communities so I could see the possibility of someone bothering you by being overly critical about his design. Maybe I'm overthinking that. Perhaps his backstory is just not interesting enough to make a story around at this time. I won't pry for a direct answer. I enjoy speculating. I would like a brief explanation of the name choice though. Doing a search for it only brings up information on D-size bras which I highly doubt have anything to do with this fellow and makes me question the sanity of my browser.

The smiling gif does fit in much better here than as a movie. Over the years, I've seen some post numerous tidbits of animation on the Movies Portal and never pick up on the possibility of using the Art Portal, instead. You certainly learn to utilize the site properly far more quickly. Thank you for that.

ToggleDragon responds:

name explanation: i asked one of my siblings to come up with names for him, and they typed out sytterro, zotr, botgest, and jade. i stitched all the names together and syzotgade is what came out. also, no, he is not a protogen; i don't really like furry original species (anymore)

[Moo Moo Death Stare]

Oh my. It appears this cow might have "beef" with you.

[Too many Pearls]

While this is certainly enough to tire one's hugging arms for the day, there is still a strong need for a few (hundred) more Pearls to have available for hugging later. Pearl is clearly a very huggable individual and only offering dozens of them to hug will not be sufficient for the remainder of the hugging year. Heck, most of these will be scooped up and locked away by Marina (for nefarious hugging purposes) before the rest of us even have the chance to enter the Pearl Adoption Hug Center to adopt our very own huggably-soft Pearl(s). As such, there are only two options: rename this piece "Not enough Pearls" or get to work churning out more Pearls. A Pearlpalooza.

ICam2k responds:

Don't worry, I'll be back on restocking more Pearls by the time I'm alive again, but just letting you know that I'm one person managing all of this here. Making all the Pearls is indeed a grueling task and having Marina constantly swipe them all of them under my nose does not help matters. I'm trying my best here, but business just hasn't been steady since I started.

[Bday Gift]

A tasty hazel-flavoured curro? A delicious gift indeed!

FunkySquidd responds:

Ahahaha thank you for always commenting. I always look forward to what you have to say <3 And wow thank you for featuring it in Takeover Tuesday!
