Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The battle finisher]

It's a charming depiction of Captain, but in comparison to your usual uploads, this is kind of a simple, straightforward pose. It lacks a lot of the whimsy that I've come to expect in your art. The potential is a rather interesting thought though. What would a Cami Tankman comic consist of? One-liners? Visual gags? A sudden war with strange enemies that can shoot colorful ink? Fun to think about, at least.

ICam2k responds:

No worries, I'll be sure to do better by the time I come back to him in one way.
Strange enemies that shoot colourful ink? Isn't that like paintball? Or painball? Whatever that is, I'll have to keep that in mind to make that work.

[Spring Rain]

The overall image is cute enough on its own, but I absolutely adore the cloud's expression as it calmly pushes back the sun god. My only nitpick is not seeing Chutney also stomping in the water puddles. They should be doing that together.

Maiden-Chynna responds:

You are not wrong! Realistically Chutney would probably be the first to jump in the puddles.

[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)

[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.

[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

[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)

[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!
