Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[when u sad :(]

To always walk around with tears streaming down your face, though... what a brave face to put on constantly. No veil. The whole barrage of emotion. All day. In a way though it feels like what you showcase might become a self-fulling emotion, like how only singing depressing songs can actually make you a bit depressed... not sure if that's all true but I do know the opposite to be: positive affirmations make you positive.

You definitely managed something iconic here though, it's so easy to distinguish from everything else somehow, and emotional it most certainly is. Not bad.

I think, in a way, you're right. Depressing thoughts are, to a degree, just natural for me, having major depression and everything. But dwelling on them definitely brings me down harder. It becomes a big downward spiral that's hard to escape. It does become more of a self-fulfilling thing then.
I've been trying not to let them get to me as much. Not to care as much about negative aspects in my life and whatnot.
However, if anything, listening to depressing songs and drawing art of my depression kinda helps. Depressing songs help me feel a connection, and drawing my emotions helps me clear it off my mind and perhaps even find comfort in others who can relate to my struggles. It feels nice, ironically enough.

Anyway, thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me. And thanks for the birthday wishes on my news post! c:

[All alone again]

Melancholy and moonshine... it'd seem pretty peaceful too if it wasn't for that gaze. Empty. Angsty. Love the way the colors play otherwise.

Thanks! i wanted him to look like he's in a state of "Apathetic numbness." which is basically what i call being disappointed, but used to a certain scenario happening all the time AND also not caring when it does happen.

[Smoking break]

A night of light. :) I like the variation, not just purple neon but a whole cacophony of color... even if the buildings layer themselves in a way that seems more like a jumble than a real neighborhood. Also almost looks like a set of lips on her back. Not bad!

MoeAnguish responds:

Thanks! i just thought it'd convey the idea that this city is a "modern day trash hole" (Graffiti on the roof, billboards everywhere, dirty/run down buildings) if it were more jumbled. you see, the character is supposed to be unhappy with the fact that their life choices led them to working in this city.

[Bella the Leafeon]

Was expecting Bella to look more humanoid since she had a name, but hey I guess you don't need to be human to have one after all... strange how that's become the norm. Humanoid animals. Or Pokemon. Anyway this was nice. Smooth work!

[Cammy White.]

Unbuttoned suit in the right place sounds tempting! :D Nice preview.

[Skarpne!]

She seems pretty... wild, this one! :D A character just full of contrasts, but that body! Damn. Good stuff.

[Bad Dream Police Squad]

Was relating heavy all the way through the Linkin Park suburbs DBZ part. XD Judging by the picture though the fun never ends... good stuff here too. Party theme and woo.

[NG Advent Calendar Day One]

It's a party from Day 1! :D Feels like this is the kind of piece that would've been perfect to end the calender with, but already huh... certainly plenty of pressure on everyone who follows this to keep things equally awesome. Love that Chutney art in the bg, and that out-of-focus selfie shot. And everything else, of course! No lack of expression/shine.

Also these descriptions. XD Serious undertones albeit...
