Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[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

[Judgement Room]

The more beautiful something looks, the more judgmental it tends to be. With that belief, I'd imagine that one might go insane just from listening to anything that room had to tell him.

MoeAnguish responds:

Yeah, it'd be suicide to go in there if you know what awaits inside. (and thanks!)

[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

[Fan Doll of Waluigi (Super Mario Bros.)]

Now THAT is a genuinely dapper-lookin' doll! That top hat especially looks fantastic on him. What's more is that you've even made sure the chin is pointed properly. Many other toys of The Great WAH! I've seen tend to go with a longer, yet still rounded design. I'm assuming that kind of chin is a little easier to create.

I initially wondered why he wasn't wearing his signature purple attire, but I suppose if a guy wanted a custom design, making this look like every other Waluigi available online would be kind of pointless, would it?

Waluigi deserves the same love and respect showered upon his Mario Universe counterparts, and what better way to highlight that fact than by dressing himself up in the finest and classiest of outfits!

Beautiful work, Tatyana.

(Even I can't be scared of a doll this handsome.)

YanaTan responds:

thanks for the comment
yes, this character also has the right to be recognized

[Disgust]

Disgust is now in control? Hmm... a mind that can only feel disgusted by life. What a sad, yet somewhat realistic concept in this day and age. Worst of all, there's going to be a lot of wasted broccoli.

Everything looks good, except for maybe the right foot. Seems like that one is turned a bit too far to the left. Even if one's feet are facing in the same direction, they will normally remain slanted away from one another to some degree.

FunkySquidd responds:

Lol yea she's in control now. I don't mind tho. Oh yea that's the one downside. No more healthy and tasty broccoli :(

Thank you! Yea you're right. I didn't draw the foot properly. Thank you for the critique

[Mmm crunchy celery!]

Why is this rated E, Chutney? What if children were to see this atrocity? At the very least, put some ranch or peanut butter on that thing!

ChutneyGlaze responds:

D:>

[Funny Fat Guy]

As an individual who hates dolls (the humanoid ones really creep me out), I can safely post that this is genuinely amazing stuff. I hate it, but I also love it. Fantastic work on such a terrifying creation.

YanaTan responds:

thanks for such an interesting comment
do not be afraid of dolls, they are not scary until you find yourself with them in a room with poor lighting alone)))))

[CursedArachnid and Jason]

I don't know anything about CursedArachnid, but I love the various shades of purple going on. It's like if Mr. and Mrs. Dink were colored with more depth... and had a better set of teeth.

I like seeing more of Jason, and he has the right mindset going on here, but his stance is rather stiff. It's more like he's posing with the machete or about to chop straight down with it, rather than getting ready to swing it at someone right in front of him. The red on he mask makes him look like he is blushing though. <3

FunkySquidd responds:

CursedArachnid is a pinup artist. You can find his stuff on Twitter. I love his style and expressions.
Thanks!

yea i'm not too good with poses
