Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[You are what you make me!]

There was a Mario Party on the GBA? Wait, no. Focus on the art. Ahem, how come... these two... were not featured in the Mario Party on the GBA that I didn't know about until now? Why even have time machines if we're not using them for reasons like this?!

It is perfect as is. Kind of impressive that you have such a relatively clean-looking image from a scanner. Instead of adding color, use that time to continue enjoying your Switch (1 at least) until the next one arrives with a new Splatoon (maybe), or revisit the GBA. Did you know there's Mario Party on that? I didn't until today!

ICam2k responds:

Yeah, I was about to get that game until I found that these weren't included in and skipped it entirely. Not WORTH the money.

Mhmmm, I would perhaps stick on my Switch in the meantime... but with Wario Land 4 because I like that game the most.

[Somebody painta my pizza!?]

This is what you do when you suffer from an art block? Most would be unable to create anything and, yet, here you are churning out quality fanart at a mere normal level. I suppose the Cami level (you're Cami) would be the equivalent of three standard artists. See, that's the selling point for why everyone should follow Cami (that's you! you're Cami)... you get triple the value from that follow! It's a great deal!

Favorites in this are the top corners, but what the heck is going on with Gustavo in the center?

ICam2k responds:

What are you talking about? I just simply made pizzas. They were intended for the Easter that I never got around to, that's why they're painted. I still can't get around art block. I need to be enlightened!
Mine are the ones with "Peppino's karmic noiseism", "Gus's Thousand Yard Stare" and one where he squishes the cheeslime with pure determined satisfaction (it is fact based on that frame when Jack fights against the t- I mean "doodles" from Cool World actually, a bit of guilty pleasure because I only like its dystopian aesthetic and some of the character designs, its story can jump off the building)

[Easter Egg Questions]

The only reasonable solution here would be to have all five rabbits lay several eggs and compare them to those littering Chutney's home. If they're innocent, then they have nothing to worry about.

[Kid Green | 2025]

"Kid Green" is an interesting and mysterious name. An explanation seems to be in order. Would you be so kind as to shed some light on the backstory of it? Is he a Namekian?

Bertn1991 responds:

Our dear green friend is an enigma wrapped in a mystery beneath a layer of secrets on a bed of riddles.

[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.

Bertn1991 responds:

Who could turn down such a lovely gift? The nerve.

[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.
