DeadSM's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tomie - Kill Me Again]

I love this piece! I also adore that the story of Tomie was inspired by a classmate who just disappeared one day. Junji Ito is unique, and this fan art is 🔥.

SketchMeNot responds:

Aww thank you so much! Glad you like it! x)

[Plinde Cliet]

I love your storytelling. It elevates each of your artworks, and you can tell there is a lot of thought behind each one.

Waterina responds:

Thank you

[You don't ever catch me postin on NG]

I want to catch you posting more on NG.

DumbassReay responds:

I have wonderful news.

[Manhunt]

That ink and texture is 🤌. Every stroke here is calculated and beautiful. Your line economy is lovely. I want to especially point out the hair as it does a great job of flowing while holding shape.

RickSteubens responds:

thank you, im going hard in the paint for a silversmith etching aesthetic on another thing, so i guess line practice really does pay off lmao

[Daily Movie Frame Redraw (16/31) "About Time"]

1hr 42mins ?!!? Here I thought I was quick at about 3hrs a piece. Congrats on the efficient workflow. Good use of texture and blur on the wall!

NazaDraws responds:

Thanks! That really means a lot 💖

[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

[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!

[Shadowheart]

16 hours? Wow. This is the kind of dedication that keeps me going.

FiRezArts responds:

Thanks DeadSM and also thanks so much for becoming a patron!. I'd say that's an average for me with this type of illustrations. Considering these have several nudes and alts... It's definitely an upgrade from the time I used to spend 60 hours on a single piece lol
