Phronemophobia's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pennywise]

It's a shame we couldn't go back in time to grab Tim Curry from 1990 to play as Pennywise in the 2017 movie. Despite all the shortcomings and restrictions of the television miniseries, Curry still managed to turn a regular-looking clown into an iconic nightmare.

I'm a sucker for traditional art, and you did a fine job of illustrating the two depictions side-by-side.

Fabulous-fishstick42 responds:

I too love Tim Curry and I'm glad you like the picture!

[The Subway Wall]

What a creepy collection of charming characters and colors.

I wish there was more graffiti like this decorating the bathrooms and trains around here. It's always bubble letters and chicken scratch with minimal effort behind even that. Perhaps I need to visit a subway at some point in my life if I ever want to see something more inspiring than a third-rate gang name or a lazy dick drawing.

Fabulous-fishstick42 responds:

In my opinion, the best place to find good street art is New York City. It's truly charming.

[The House of Pangolin]

Ah, the pangolin. A unique and wondrous mammal. I don't know how cuddly a ball of scales and stink glands might be, but watching them swim around or run on two legs is undeniably cute.

I really don't know much more about the Potter series than you do. I never read the books, and I've only seen three of the movies (only enjoyed the first one). Still, I think it's a nice crest. I wonder what sort of traits and personality would best represent the House of Pangolin.

TheStrawberryBazooka responds:

I think it would be loyalty, innovation, creativity, shrewdness, and a ability to know what needs to get done to achieve a goal. I think it would be like for the people who don't fit in Hufflepuff but also don't fit in Slytherin, the in between.
The strong silent types who you want on your side, but if they're not on your side...

[Harness, the Dragon]

The design makes me think of an MLP version of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, except with stunted legs, rather than a missing tail fin. I imagine it must be difficult (if not impossible) to fly with those wheels, and if he can lower his wings to his sides in a similar fashion to how other winged animals in MLP do it, I wonder if they would ever interfere with the wheels while walking around town. I'm probably thinking too much into this.

It's an interesting character, and I love the starry night look of his scales. I bet he's an amazing pet for whomever cares for him and helps maintain his harness.

TheStrawberryBazooka responds:

Thank you so much!
Wheels are actually lighter than they look, and his wings are immensely powerful to make up for his legs, if he were in mlp he would be a good head taller then the ponys, (think a bit shorter then Celestia) he isn't anybody's pet and takes care of himself.

[Macaroni Dragon]

I'm not a fan of dragons (media saturation of them over the years), but this is just so darn cute. I wish there was a background of some kind... maybe with the person who was about to eat it either being amused or bothered by the fact that her meal is now a shared one. Aside from that, I love this. Great, good, and/or wonderful job. :)

TheStrawberryBazooka responds:

I love dragons, I'm sorry the media has ruined them for you, I find that I can't really draw the stereotypical epic dragon, so I find myself going for the less known cute, quirky, or interesting side, I hope you try my other dragon art and tell me what you think!!😃😊

[A cure]

You forgot the part where she is charged seven bucks for the band-aid and seventy-five for walking into the nurse's office. School's gotta make money somehow.

Fabulous-fishstick42 responds:

Fun fact about this comic: I threw up on the nurse and she sent me back to class.

[Weeble Walrus]

Wow, what a wontastically whimsical walrus to weeble with!

Bertn1991 responds:

Only the wobbliest, wontasticaliest walruses for you! Also...

Wow, what a story, Mark. Ha ha ha.

[A Sweet Transvestite]

Yay, indeed! I still haven't seen the movie, though I recently learned the song Super Heroes was completely removed from the American version, so I kinda wonder how excited many of the people around me who used to praise the film for decades became when they found that out for themselves.

I can't seem to get my colors to be that bold without marker ink bleeding through the paper and pencils tearing holes into it.

Fabulous-fishstick42 responds:

Rocky horror is one of my favorite movies. Also, I did not know that superheroes was removed. I guess the copy I own is just old enough. For this drawing, I used a red copic, black jelly roll, and a black bic pen.

[55 Something Green]

I respect your decision to omit some of the more obvious choices for green gaming representation. That, and I am a big fan of Gunstar Heroes and using Boogerman in Clayfighter 63 1/3, so there is bias in my rating.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Mark.

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Maybe I'll take a break tomorrow.

[Silly Goose!]

Dad kept calling me "Jaybird" and "Hawk" when I was a child. I don't know why.

Your drawing is simple, cute, and has meaning to it. I like it.
Thank you for being a goose.

Fabulous-fishstick42 responds:

Thanks Jaybird
