sackboy963's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Trippy]

At this day and age, providing a WIP (or a screenshot of your drawing software or a drawing timelapse video) with your artwork is a reasonable and safe tactic of proving yourself as a "human artist" that doesn't rely on a machine to do the whole work.

RodneyAmirebrahimi responds:

I 100% agree with you.
The crazy thing is about the honesty!
Before the AI stuff, I could share my work without explaining anything.
Now, behind the scenes, WIP stuff is a must and can add value to the final piece.
+the artist behind the piece has become significantly more important...

What software(s) do you use to create your illustrations if you don't mind me asking?

Ozrk responds:

It's one of those where I can't really give a straight answer. It's all about trying to master one of them. :]

Poison Ivy is gonna have a field day if she hears this.

manganart responds:

Is they only excuse she needs

[Roots Shorts 02]

I just want to say it is refreshing to read educational indie comics on Newgrounds with no punchline for comedic purposes. I was intrigued to find your first "Roots Shorts" frontpaged on the Art Portal, and already added it to my "webcomics to read 2" playlist. Although I am not superb with history, especially within the archeological areas, but reading this gives light to some interesting facts about its fields such as preservation of artifacts and fiction vs reality of archeologists such as this comic. There are some educational animations that are sometimes featured here, but are not really in the general areas of education whether they be history or science, just informational facts or news. I hope you take the opportunities here on NG positively well.

manganart responds:

I'm really glad you like it. I always wanted to share a bit of knowledge of archaeology and history. The idea of these comics is a mix of information and talk about how archaeology process are made. Also it might be that some of them will be about anthropology as they are sometimes mixed together. So really happy with this welcome haha

[Burnt Out]

If you really are experiencing burn-out, I highly suggest you start looking after yourself and take a break. Take some physical activities, write, or meditate, don't overwork yourself.

HeRetiK responds:

Oh I'm fine but I appreciate your concern!

[mama got fat]

This made me genuinely go "holy shit".

cats are always so full of surprises

[It’s OUR Portal Now!]

Nice House of Mouse title reference! I like the fact you still came up with 31 villains, some from my suggestions list and others you personally know! Even though some of the villains are from the same series, it was still an intersting twist! Personally I don't really acknowledge Geiko as a villain, more of a competitive antagonist, despite her seemingly trying to kill Gogo, and I didn't really like how Eddsworld Legacy portrayed Tord as a fallen out friend turned villain, despite it being canon in Eddsworld now, but this is still a nice surprise nonetheless! I especially didn't know about Harold Ham from Nightmare Cops or Director Phobos from Project Nexus until now, and I forgot about Dogma from Binding of Isaac, so that's an additional surprise too!

remalicious responds:

Thank you so much!! It was tough deciding which villains I wanted to include in this piece. The list of villains I had envisioned changed about three times. I had used the Summergrounds Showdown prompts for ideas. Also, yeah I thought the same thing about Geiko, I wanted to include her since she’s a slasher archetype n she fits into the Halloween season.

[villcon meeting]

Well done! Really well done! It's especially damn impressive that you managed to take on 2 art challenge trends this month, personally, that's a big accomplishment! Pretty funny you included the "no cross species love" sign as an antagonistic symbol from "There she is!" (BTW small gripe, the two cats look like they're standing on top of Bunny, and the Auditor seems overshadowed by the other characters.)

If you don't mind, could you also provide a small list of the additional villains you added here, just in case there are some villains we don't recognize?

MOHD5aqer responds:

i added the list
also brunk and merle standing on top of izu and donnogan was intentional, i did the same thing with denver as i made him stand on top of happy fella's head

[won't you shake a poor sinner's hand]

It's hard to notice, but victor's left shoe is not fully colored.

MOHD5aqer responds:

fixed

[what law school does to a mfer]

Is Donnogan suppose to be in front of or behind Clawdia?

MOHD5aqer responds:

front, I'll redo the collage once i finish drawing everyone to make it less confusing
