Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[TBoAI]

I don't get it but the dude in the box kinda looks like Alien Hominid and that other character Synj worked on, as for meaning: something about being forcefully mindfucked by the very nature of the Internet, being exposed to just too much sludge, the new wave of wokeness and/or weird fetishes propagated on individuals who maybe wanted something different for themselves in this life and the ones after but did nae know it before it was too late...?

Whatever this really does refer to: nicely drawn.

Nabella responds:

Okay, how do I explain this?

So there's this video game called the Binding of Isaac, and last year, it recently had a big expansion released for it that not only brought over a popular mod to the base game but also added a bunch of new stuff and QOL improvements. One of the things brought over from the mod was a boss on the Mausoleum floor called the Siren. Her newfound exposure amongst a new generation of players ended up inspiring a lot of smut and fetish stuff (most notably BBW) that would sometimes find their way onto video game threads on 4chan. I once drew a comic poking fun at prevalence of it in Isaac threads at the time.

THIS YEAR, somewhere around early September I think, a powerful open source AI image generator called Stable Diffusion was unleashed onto the internet. It caused a lot of ruckus amongst professional and amateur artists alike as some fans of the technology were parading it as something to replace artists or let them be artists themselves. Other conflicts of interest included the art that was being used to train the AI, whether or not AI art could really be considered art, how being able to generate thousands of works styled after currently living working artists could devalue their work and make them less sought after, how this could be used to generate deep fake pornography and threaten people for sensitive information, etc.

In a BBC article dramatically titled 'Art is Dead, Dude' it references a tweet by sci-fi artist Simon Stålenhag who called AI art "the kind of derivative, generated goo...our new tech overlords are trying to feed us."

The discussion surrounding AI would inevitably pop up in boards and threads on 4chan and eventually became a topic for flamewars and derision. It came up briefly in a thread for the Binding of Isaac and I thought it would be funny to make a drawing based off of the talk surrounding it and post it in the thread. I also thought that the term 'derivative goo' could easily be applied to that comic I drew that one time seeing as parodies are inherently derivative.

I drew this at like 3am, so of course my thought process for this drawing made like zero sense, but I'm still glad you tried to interpret something more from this than I could!

[Disney Villain Recast Project: Dark Laser as Emperor Zurg]

Wooah the red and purple tones at the bottom kinda hurt the eyes on this one no? And the glow... but great form.

MrTheAmazingDude responds:

Well, that’s just Zurg’s Color palette, can’t really do much about that.

[Isaac]

The grainy style almost enforces his expressions somehow... nice work.

Is this charcoal btw?

Zorstvaroth responds:

Thanks!
I actually used drawing pencils for this.

[Pico pointing like a gangsta]

If only you could dual wield in the game too. :) Nice work.

-cd-

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

yeah, that would be cool, thanks for your comment!

[Steamed Hams but it's Ed Edd n Eddy]

Another dope cross-over! XD

When you actually recognize the meme it's actually hella funny. All in the contrasts/unexpected new presentation of the classic.

-cd-

MrTheAmazingDude responds:

Thank you so much for your comments, they mean a lot to me :)

[Disney Villain Recast Project: Conker as Iago]

The hero that kind of is a villain already. :D Love the main design/transformation, though not sure about that glow... doesn't really fit in IMO.

-cd-

MrTheAmazingDude responds:

Thanks, and sorry if the glow is a bit much, I added to the pics so that things that were pitch black could be visible + I thought it would give the pics a bit of an ominous vibe lol

[MK VS WWE]

Would be an awesome crossover to animate too! Nice.

-cd-

MrTheAmazingDude responds:

Thank you so much for your comments :)

[Madness Chess 2022]

Oooh this could be a real thing! Hope someone fetches inspiration from this and actually makes an NG themed chess game... for Madness or something else. If there isn't one already.

As always the detail level's just flawless too.

-cd-

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Yeah I do hope so.

[Klaymen]

Really like the form here. Reminds me of... something old. Even the colors make it feel like something from the golden era of cartoon.

-cd-

G0ttlieb responds:

thank you so much, that means a lot to me :)
I tried to stay true to the actual Neverhood concept art, and Klayman is just so fun to draw!

[Revenge Of The Thickthighs Clan]

They're not just thicc but kinda abnormally large hmmm...

Nice style. So clean line work.

LewdBacon responds:
