Monster8maker's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Konata doodle]

It's cute, but I have a question:
why is the character so popular?

I also drew the figure twice (because I like making/drawing monsters out of cute figures)
and when I was looking for a suitable reference, I noticed again how popular it is.
here are my versions:

Is it just enough to be cute to get popular?
what is your opinion on this @VCRiot ?

VCRiot responds:

Lucky Star has been around since 2003 and still has new chapters being produced. The anime gained massive popularity during the early days of internet meme culture. The manga and anime are in the slice-of-life genre, which is accessible to pretty much any audience, regardless of age or gender.

Konata Izumi, the main character herself, is considered to be the lighthearted embodiment of otaku culture. Even 17 years later, her smug expressions can be recognized by most anime enthusiasts. Her character design is simple to draw but complex enough to stand out amongst her peers in the moe genre. Her carefree attitude mixed with her encyclopedic knowledge of anime and games are charming qualities anyone can strive for.

Lucky Star was released at the right place, at the right time, with a solid cast of entertaining characters, each having their own stories to tell, in a genre that's about relaxing and taking your time enjoying life in general.

[Brethren Moon]

she is really pretty...

reminds me of the one episode of rick and morty where rick seems to have impregnated a planet.

[Mint n Chip]

cute

[STRETCH SCREAMERS]

lol the dude behind the one in red has exactly the same facial expression as my old hamster (he also had such a beautiful stupid facial expression) lol.

and the red one reminds me of something like the bad guy in He-man.

[Pack pack]

uh that looks a bit strange with the one sitting on the shoulder. if you see it from afar, you might think it has a blue tail

but otherwise the monster girls are really cute
