DeadSM's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sassy Thief]

Great color choices!

[Not Awesome!]

This is a beautiful tribute to Arin and his roots in NG. Metal Gear Awesome was one of the first animations I showed friends when it came out. Arin may never know how many people he inspired to do art. I hope he sees pieces like this, though, and feels inspired.

Good work at getting character likenesses and references all into one composition. The expressions here are great.

GnarlyHaggler responds:

Thank you very much!

[Pomni]

Can't wait to see where you will go. Digital art is a huge hill to climb but it has its moments where you can take a break and relax.

GnarlyHaggler responds:

I'll keep that in mind

[Evil Cat Girl]

Fantastic line work!

[Juri SF6]

Very clean and clear design. Great expression. The texture on just the lip is a nice touch.

[Page 4 - 'At the Head of the Rock']

The smile at the top is excellent. Very cool atmosphere. No words are needed to tell the character actions. Great work.

Chee-o responds:

Thank you! There are words for the page, I just haven't finalised the script yet

[take my skin]

That feeling is hell. Everyday you think about the possibility of years of study, blood and tears are rendered irrelevant. The idea is alarming, the fact that you can't get back your time is terrifying, and the very thought of giving up again haunts me.
But you are not alone. Artists will be the ones who make AI suitable, and they will also be the ones that show that it's not as good as we are. You have so much more to offer, and the only way to see that is to keep climbing.

naraicat responds:

thank you so much for your message, i really appreciate it in these times!

Your homie should be proud. This piece feels in universe and hits with nostalgic themes from media such as Clerks, Superbad, and Workaholics. I have never seen this image but I have been here before.

[PuyoPop Fever!]

I remember almost peeing myself multiple times because I didn't want to stop playing this damn game. I thought I was a puyo God. Years later, Puyo Puyo Tetris came out with online on the Vita (God im a dinosaur) and I realized that didn't stand a chance. This is important because I felt magic once and looking at this made me feel it again.
