Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fish Exercise]

A classic bit of practice. Always a joy to see the simple animation of a swimming fish.

FunkySquidd responds:

Practice makes perfect! Or so I'm told. I still have to practice some more to find out.
Thanks! Glad you're still around. Your comments are something I always look forward to when I upload

[Penelope Nickels | 2021]

"Why does she fight with a jump rope?" ...because she lost her Kidpower Ribbon Dancer years ago in a freak twirling incident that became a grisly reminder for children to always tie their shoes properly. Everybody knows that, Bertn.

Bertn1991 responds:

D'oh! Why didn't I see this? It's so obvious. I am the tomfool >____<

[Blue John's Driver License | 2021]

He didn't have to raise his hair to show his eyes for the picture? How am I to know they're brown then? This ID is suspicious.

Bertn1991 responds:

He's a suspicious guy. I'm told they're beautiful 👁

[Drawing Prompt 14 (2021)]

Oh, I've seen this episode. Something about a hat and zombies, right?

Mewx responds:

Yes

[Garfsona]

Is a Garfsona a genuine thing or just some short-lived meme? Seems kind of limiting in what one can do with it for creating a persona... just looks like Garfield with different clothes on.

Aside from that, it looks great. Is the varied colors of the shoes and the tropical shirt your actual style or is it just to help this Garfield personality stand out better?

Fabulous-fishstick42 responds:

I haven't seen anyone else do this before, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's out there. I was doodling Garfield as I often do and I to draw him in an outfit that I often wear (I believe I own 6 Hawaiian shirts and the shoes are a pair I own and wear regularly). I liked the doodle so I made it a fully finished piece.

[Hazel Hammering]

I didn't know the other villagers built stuff. I thought they just tossed a leaf somewhere and it poof'd into things. Is the hammer glued to the back of her paw? Why is she not holding it? Definitely holding the nail... to her detriment, that is.

FunkySquidd responds:

They make DIY recipes in their house on their little tool benches :) I created a layer where I drew over the hammer so it looks like she was grasping it but in the game, the items they hold just float over their hand so I decided to leave it as this

[Sailor Fuku Nina]

Something tells me there are no conversation options that will lead to a successful relationship with her, but I want to believe there is still a good ending where a player will walk away with their brain intact.

FunkySquidd responds:

Yea she'll go to prom with you :)

[Korean M&M's]

I had to look up what the heck this was out of the blue... red, but it seems fairly on point with the the shot from the commercial. I didn't find the commercial funny or anything. Slightly confusing, I guess. You use some relatively uncommon sources for practice, especially when you combine them with the things I see often on your art. "Here's a bunch of Animal Crossing." Okay, this guy likes Animal Crossing. "Also, here's the mayor of McDonald's who was removed as a result of a lawsuit from the folks behind Pufnstuf and a Korean candy ad." Nevermind. Randomized with a splash of Animal Crossing. Got it.

If you ever decide to do commission work, let me know. I imagine anything I ask for would likely come with a slightly twisted spin to it, and that would genuinely be interesting to see.

FunkySquidd responds:

This is the best review I've ever gotten, hahaha. Yea I came across the video thanks to the last few seconds being uploaded to Twitter and I found it on Youtube and it became an inside joke between me and my friends. Which is why I find it even funnier that you didn't laugh at it xD


Ahaha yea I do. Inspiration comes and goes for me and I just wanted to see if I could draw the I last shot from the video.
I don't want to be associated with 1 subject, be it AC or Nina Cortex. But I do have certain subjects I really enjoy drawing art of ^^ So I like to remain unpredictable with what I'll draw next >:)
Oh I didn't know about the lawsuit! That's interesting.
Either way, I'm glad you like what I draw and I thank you for staying interested.

Oh sure! I'd be happy to. Once I get good enough at drawing and drawing art for other people, I'll start them. I'll do my best to satisfy you if you ever decide to commission me

[Norange]

JoJo's Bizzare Animal Crossover was surprisingly violent considering the entire special was all about Team Bucciarati collecting the six different fruits for Narancia to stress the importance of maintaining a healthy diet. Not the sort of thing I would show in class, but schools in Japan are their own thing, I guess.

FunkySquidd responds:

Hahaha that's funny! I like your context for the drawing. Pretty creative. Narancia could certainly do with eating some fruit over the junk food he tends to have

[Dump]

Traditionally cartoony-looking Nina. Always welcomed, of course. Hazel on top of a.... She's giving that same upward look a dog does after it makes a mess in your living room. Know what? Let's not question it. Moving on to H.R. Pufnstuf who has that dead stare and pointing at a burger. Probably an advertisement for Soylent Green. Lastly, an ashiatsu massage on King Crimson. Looks like he's enjoying it a bit too much.

Sometimes, I wonder if your improvement in drawing anatomy is at the small cost of a bit of your sanity. I'm sure you'll be fine.

FunkySquidd responds:

I always look forward to your reviews. Thanks!
Hahah i was just practicing body posing drawing and I had downloaded a new coloring tool so I drew that Hazel quickly to test it out and then put her on the woman who's just stretching! Totally not dead from the rabid squirrel.
Lol I had to look up who Pufnstuf was. It's actually Mayor McCheese from McDonald's. McDonald's using humans to make their burgers would explain why they taste so bad haha

Subconsciously, he's enjoying it but unconsciously he's screaming for help.
I love that description. If you're saying I'm getting better at anatomy, I'll gladly accept losing some sanity as a trade off. And thank you :)
