Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[TiSDomingo]

This is an excellent drawing of one of my favorite moments from the first time I played the game. If I ever saw such a thing hatch in front of me, I don't know whether I would be scared or amazed. As a drawing, he certainly looks adorable, but the thought of those giant eyes in real life looking up at me right after emerging from an egg is kind of unnerving.

Domingo is an amazing character to unlock, but he's also similar to Peter the Phoenix from the second game in that I think he's too powerful for his own good. Already promoted, high MP, Defense, and Health, flies, has Freeze and Attack. Using him kills a lot of the challenge, but, then again, that's why he is a hidden fighter.

Is this you warming up for something big or just to pass the time?
Is Chrissy too peppy for Carmen?
Why is Hazel so uni-spicy right now?

FunkySquidd responds:

Yes it's just me sketching for fun.
Carmen won't allow another pop-star bunny living on the same island as her so she's resorted to using threats.
Cause she drew with crayons on the wall and made fun of Coco and Monique so she's feeling devious

[TiSGuntz]

I saw the thumbnail and thought, "That looks kinda like Guntz." Then, I click on it, see Guntz (which already makes me super happy) AND thumbnails for a bunch of other Shining Force characters, including Adam! I shouldn't do this, but seeing these give me hope that Gong, Gort, Balbaroy, and Khris will also be drawn down the line.

Tisbore responds:

I drew all those characters last year but I'm going through the list again so I'm definitely going to be drawing them. Thanks the comment and watch!

That is a bell!!

[MSPaintober Days 3, 4, and 5]

They do have a certain creepiness to them, but probably not an intended one. Of the bunch, the Wendigo is my favorite. Yours apparently prefers to huddle near a fire, despite a decent coat of fur to keep it warm. Gives it a more humanized impression which adds to the scare factor.

MS Paint for many people is difficult to use. It's archaic in comparison to newer, better programs, including other free ones, which I can't figure out for the life of me. It's probably why I will use if I do anything digital at all. I lost my stylus at some point though, so I ain't going digital until I can afford to buy a new one for my cheap tablet. I oughta show you one of my MSP doodles at some point.

FunkySquidd responds:

Thanks for the comment. Good luck using MSPaint then. It's really not ideal. The other programs have more options but that doesn't mean they're that hard to learn. After a day of trying things out, you understand how they work. MSPaint is possible to make great things with but it's very primitive

[Throwin' Shade]

Shade: "It's time to leave this world."

Dying person: "What about my wife? I can't just leave her all alone."

Shade: "I'll take good care of her, along with the rest of my collection."

Dying person: "..."

[Caroline]

That's an impressive amount of neck, which really adds to just how uplifting this person looks right now.

Now you got me wondering... what if you claimed that you WERE dead and then provided another late night doodle? Would that make your art more valuable? "Why are you are your commission prices so high?" "Because I'm dead." "Oh, that makes sense! Here's your money."

[MSPaintober Days 1 and 2]

A truly terrifying Canberra. Nice to see MS Paint getting some month-long love. Any proper digital art I've ever made was with it, and most of that turned out alright.

Good luck on the October challenge. Hopefully, that will mean I get to indulge in 29 more paintings while I listen to Halloween radio this month.

FunkySquidd responds:

She's truly a spawn of hell. Yea the challenge appealed to me because of the theme and I can see what I'm able to make when I limit myself and use different tools

Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy what I create

[SixFanarts/NineFanarts Very Late!]

They gave you quite a few strong suggestions to work with. Your worst is Drifter who just seems uncomfortable in that box. The strongest is obviously Nina, but the fingers need some work. I love the look on Rilla Roo. A very clean cut around the scalp, too. I don't know Momoka Asuka or Kasumin, but they look decent. That passive-looking girl is not Tron Bonne! Thank neutral_demon for the excellent choice of the mole, Gaetan Moliére.

Five stars for the variety, color, and for including three bonus choices.

FunkySquidd responds:

I gave Drifter the 'You know I had to do it to em' meme pose. I think Nina's the worst looking. I try too hard to draw her like she looks in official art instead of drawing her in my own style.
I felt like giving Tron a different expression than the angry or determined look she's usually portrayed as having in most fan art. That, and my expressions aren't a strength of mine.

I could have added more colors and shaded/lit the characters but i had worked on this for long enough and just wanted to be done with it. I'm glad you like it though. Thanks
