Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flag Animation]

The flag looks good enough to salute, Funky. I just wish there was some color or background for it. What good is having a beautiful flag if nothing exists around it to appreciate how well animated it is?

I do hope this leads to a good grade in your course.

FunkySquidd responds:

Thank you! I'll include a background and character when I include a flag in a future cartoon ;) Thanks for always seeing what could be improved in my stuff.

[feeling]

This is cute, but I hope it isn't indicative of something else.

Thank you, rosel.

[ffopp]

His head now looks like a grumpy, yellow Jack O' Lantern.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

what the heck yeah it does!

[girls]

These are really good, especially Nina, and, you know, I wasn't really thinking about it before now, but I don't really get to see the side view of cartoon characters all that often. That or I just don't pay attention to it outside of the old Hanna-Barbera shows. There's a lot of side view action happening in a classic Scooby-Doo or Flintstones episode. Sigh... I babble too much.

Aside from that being Kanamori, I know nothing about Eizouken, and while I am aware of The Suicide Shop, I've never seen it. Can't even find it outside of a trailer and some videos of specific songs from the film. That's Marilyn the daughter, right?

FunkySquidd responds:

Thanks for nice comment. I'm not really pleased with this one. I need to practice shapes and overall form from different angles.
Lol u don't babble. I like hearing what you have to say

Me either, haha. I still haven't seen a single Eizouken episode but I just love Kanamori.
Yea that's correct about Marilyn. You could probably find the movie on a streaming site or order it off of Amazon. I did both and it's pretty cheap.
The movie's alright. I mostly enjoy it for the animation and style. The music is nice too. But the movie has a lot of potential that it didn't execute upon enough.

[Bunny Day Payback]

A third drawing?! Man, Funky, alongside HoboKa's four song uploads, you two are really spoiling me with new content today. I feel truly blessed right now.

I hate Robbie. He has always creeped me out. Your rendition of him, however, looks like what I'd imagine him to be like in New Horizons. Carmen looks clean and is appropriately not being peppy towards her fellow rabbit. It's a dumb idea, but you did a great job with it.

FunkySquidd responds:

Thanks for the nice comment and for noticing I drew more today. Hahha the idea that my art would be something you look forward to is flattering.

He is pretty creepy. Especially with that part in SH4.
Thanks!

[Hazel Birthday]

All I need to say about this is "Happy Birthday" to a great-lookin' Hazel!

Nicely done, Squidd.

FunkySquidd responds:

Thanks, dude! I'm not happy with how this came out but that's just cause I'm lacking a lot of practice, hahaha. But I appreciate your kind words

[Akumaaaaaa]

The legs up to the waist look fine, but I don't believe the fingers on his right hand should be facing the viewer. The torso being hidden within the upper portion of his seemingly-oversized gi gives the illusion that his chest lacks any sort of muscular definition. That alone wouldn't be a problem, except this Akuma also has a rounded, chubby face and his neck is completely hidden by Goutetsu's prayer beads, rather than hanging down his chest a bit. It all makes him look more like a teenager cosplaying as the guy. There's a lot of official artwork for Akuma though, and the proportions of everything on him changes with each piece, so it's difficult to pinpoint which one(s) you referenced for your illustration (I know it's not lion's mane Akuma in SFV, at least).

I didn't peg you for a Street Fighter fan. Is Akuma whom you usually play as or do you just like his design? For SFII, SFIV, and in various spin-off fighters, I preferred using Zangief. I didn't touch SFV. That game was a mess at launch and wants too much money for its cosmetics. I got SFIV in a Humble Bundle, or else I wouldn't have played it, either.

FunkySquidd responds:

Thanks for critique! Very long and informative.
There is a lot wrong with this, I'll admit. But I mostly treated it as a warm up drawing to help me get back into the flow of drawing as I've felt like I've been under performing as of late. But that doesn't invalidate my errors, so thanks :) It's true i just skipped the torso part and if I drew it, it could have added volume and weight to it.

Street Fighter is my favorite gaming franchise :) I love the characters, art overall, and games themselves. Lol nah. I just like Akuma for his design but even more so his role in the lore of the game. His relationship to Ryu is great and he's a relatively interesting character. I can't stand fighting Akuma in most of the games as he's usually very powerful with good frame data. I'm not a very good player tho.
I like Zangief but prefer Hugo when it comes to the grapplers. I agree with you on sf5. Such a shame they rushed it out the door. It's definitely gotten better over the years but I'm still looking forward to the sequel more so.
My favorite characters are probably Makoto, Adon, Hugo, Rose, Dan, and Dudley

[Barold]

He's no Chops, but he's certainly a cub worth admiring.

[old comic, oh geez oh god]

Scary how real this comic feels. What's scarier is that I don't even have a stylus, so you're better off than I am.

veeko-neeko responds:

I was in a real place when I made it I guess, lol. And hey, you can still get a lot of mileage without a stylus! I used to do all my digital stuff with a mouse (granted, it can get annoying and takes a lot of patience)
