Monster8maker's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ash the Huntress File]

hi I know her :)

EmperorBismark responds:

Indeed, you do.

[🔥🌊 "Leviathan's Wrath – The Tide of Doom!" 🐉⚔️]

looks great.... respect for the captain who manages to sail his ship through this raging sea without a scratch.

FireCaves responds:

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really glad you like how it turned out. It feels amazing to hear that, especially considering how much effort went into it. I appreciate the compliment, and I’ll definitely keep pushing forward to improve! :-D

[Blood Moon Blues]

looks really cool. your art style is really interesting. I think it has something. what did you use to draw?

WarehouseRabbit responds:

Thank you and nothing special, fren. Just a regular paper sheet and some coloring pencils and ballpens xwx The photos usually don't come out so good so I try to edit them a little on GIMP but that's about it.

[Sphinx Gets A Ring]

ok this is cute

Rosalhymn responds:

thnx ^-^

[The Toast Guy waving animation]

I find the design quite funny and well done. Seems like a friendly character.

SillyNicky responds:

Well he looks friendly, but looks can be deceiving as he can be quite extreme with his way to play we can say.

[The Perennial Flesh Fairies]

Nice idea. You could also use the damage types as concepts for fairies. For each damage type, a fairy that represents it.

That would be an idea too.
Do the mushrooms really appear in Elden Ring?

Brumov responds:

Thanks. I will think of it
Yes, them do appear, something grows this side of Elden

[Lovely Daughters]

looks great. I think Mud and your favorite look particularly good.
I think after the update the drawings of the homunculi are a bit more three-dimensional and animated. (It seems that way to me).

my favorite homunculi are the Jiangshi, Flame and tree.
But I can't play this often because I don't always want to sacrifice my favorites:(

Guileness responds:

For real. It hurts my soul to do so 😔

But I agree. The redesigns do make them more lively and dynamic. The fix in the lighting seemed to have done the trick. I especially loved how Flame turned out!

[The ghost knights]

The little girl has the typical necromancer appearance. All that's missing is the line: 'Here are my undead servants! And what do you do now?'

Then the appearance would be perfect.

EmperorBismark responds:

I never thought about it, but I suppose she is technically a necromancer. I have cleared space in my inbox. I apologize for the earlier inconvenience.

[Horror Clown Miku]

I counter that with my demonic (hungry) Miku.

Jokes aside, I find the choice interesting and the design looks great

Hailenvy responds:

Heeheehee Thank you

[I'm Fine Now]

I think it looks great, I find the style interesting and that makes me a little jealous. If I were able to draw so expressively, it would be really great for my literary projects. It would also be really nice for dark/spooky stories

and I have questions. How do you manage to keep the paper from rippling and which brushes do you use? Do you dilute the paint with water or is it just pure acrylic? What was your inspiration?

AntonM responds:

Thanks :))

The paper is cold press, 300gsm so it's pretty thick and only really curls up around the corners.

I use winsor & newton foundation acrylic brushes.

Yeah I use the acrylics more like watercolour paints, the first few layers are very thin and watered-down and I slowly thicken it up as I go along.

For inspiration I don't know, I think there's a bit of Silent Hill 4 in this one and I've been watching a few of nana825763's streams on youtube where he's making a game with this kind of otherworld. These paintings come from a stream of consciousness start and I figure out the story as I work out more of the details so it's hard to say where these ideas really come from. I read, watch movies, play games and listen to a lot of music and it all funnels down into a piece.
