vlsrb's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[1954]

Ha, this makes him seem positively cuddly, as if Osamu Tezuka drew him. Amazing work!

[PLUTO - NAOKI URASAWA]

I haven't read Pluto, but I'm familiar with it and Urasawa's work in general (I read Monster). His art style is not easy to replicate, so kudos for taking up the challenge. Love the composition and colors here.

GXLpics responds:

As an Astroboy fan I really liked the manga, it's so cool to see how they reimaginated all the og story as well as trying to find al the references to other tezuka's works

[Fever (Dr. Mario)]

Oof, this takes me back to the countless hours I spent with this game as a kid. Your interpretation of it is, as always, super cute. Great work!

[Pheromosa]

Always loved Pheromosa's design. The features are typically insectoid (inspired by cockroaches no less) but the end result is this slender, conventionally beautiful creature, which is not how most people would describe a cockroach. It's unexpected. Great work on this piece!

[Project Zomboid]

You did such a good job capturing the ambience of this scene - frightening, quiet, and even a bit sad. Beautiful colors, gorgeous backgrounds - I love it all. Wonderful work.

[Stress.]

This would be incredible as it is, but the fact it was made in MS Paint is just mindblowing! Out of curiosity, how long does it take you to make something like this?

KohJhonesItula responds:

Thank you very much! That'll be kinda hard to tell because I do this inbetween hours or days. I'll say 6 to 8 hours perhaps. Most of the time just goes away doing mindless lines. Which I still find sorta relaxing. MsPaint has that simplicity where you can just not worry about complex tools and just dump whatever you're capable of.

[The Holy Reject]

This brings back memories of flicking through a DnD Monster Manual and stumbling upon something that you DON'T want to see in your campaign. And then the GM puts it in anyway.

Terrific work!

ThePsychoSheep responds:

Tabletop RPG's are a huge inspiration when making monsters like this.

[StarHell Chapter 1]

This is a beautiful looking comic! And the concept of a destructive elemental being choosing to defy their destiny by just living a normal life is both interesting and hilarious. Will be keeping an eye on this to see where it goes.

[Mallards]

A beautifully serene little scene with cool lighting effects. It's literally transporting me away from my cloudy autumn morning into the calm of spring. Nicely done!

[Monster VS Monster - Dinosaurs Attack! Collab Piece]

The only way this could get more badass is if there was a burning monster truck driven by a shark devouring a grizzly bear jumping over the scene. Amazing work, the attention to detail is astonishing.
