Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds in Metroidvania]

Such a massive artwork! So many characters! So much to look at! All in that cozy crisp pixel quality. :D How many hours do you reckon it all took to compose? Masterful collage of classy characters classics and uber users.

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Thanks. Just read the description of this art of how much I spent.

[Dragon made in MMO Paint]

What an awesome, fiery, fire-breathing dragoncritter! Somehow the form feels a bit elongated, but looks great otherwise, nice shading; all, and one-pixel teeth and nails look pretty spiky. :D Nice work.

Zanzlanz responds:

Thanks Cyberdevil! I wonder if you were around during MMO Paint's lifetime. :)

[The Apple IX: De Stijl Apple]

Eh hmm... abstract! And yet, it feels somehow very... unoptimized somehow. Like the blocks have no symmetry. Different widths and heights entirely, placements with what seems like random spacing between them, and the contours of the apple appear uneven and edge with the crispness of the surrounding tiles. I feel like the apple would've looked better without the white background too, maybe a crisp outline; the blocks therein, with the black shining through? And some pattern to the blocks... for a De Stilj style it feels a bit spacey. Well, creative stuff!

-cd-

Christopher responds:

De Stijl usually has random widths and heights like that, but I'll make a second De Stijl apple with your suggestions to see how it turns out.

[The Apple X: Pixel Apples]

Oh, nice! Colorful and pixely, and it's nice with a whole array of apples too, even if the design for all but the last seems easily clonable. Good apples. Favorite so far. All just so... crisp and healthy! I need to figure something out for Pixel Day too...

-cd-

Christopher responds:

Palette swaps are a trademark of the 8 and 16-bit eras. The last apple is actually the Celestial Apple from The Apple V.

[The Apple VIII: Ghost Apple]

What a ghastly apple! :O Expression feels very reminiscent of another recent one too, hmm... zombie apple! A relative apple, maybe? Pretty atmospheric.

-cd-

Christopher responds:

Zombie Apple's facial expression inspired the creation of Ghost Apple.

[The Apple VII: The Golden Apple]

It's so... golden. :O Radiating with luster and life! Exotic, exquisite, it must be just ripe! Just right. The Golden Apple.

-cd-

Christopher responds:

Spellbinding, isn't it

[The Apple VI: Donald Trumple]

Hah, you made it! :D He looks pretty swell as an apple too. Mellow. Kind. Good propoganda!

-cd-

Christopher responds:

He's unstumpable and uneatable.

[The Apple V: Celestial Apple]

I hear ya @S3C! A celestial apple hmm, if we can figure out the cure for mortality in the coming years, maybe we can all be around when the ultra galazy is born and enjoy these celestial apples as fruits of our infinite labor. It's... out of this world! :O

-cd-

Christopher responds:

Wait I forgot that in 1 billion years the sun will have slowly expanded to the point that earth becomes uninhabitable, so we would mostly be floating around in spaceships for 3 billion years during which we would probably shed the need to eat for nutrition, oh well.

[The Apple IV: Zombie Apple]

A rotten apple huh. :P Facial features that seem like seeds too, like it's a slice? 2D apple art? Interesting style!

-cd-

Christopher responds:

I might do a 3d version of this next week

[The Apple III: The Macintosh]

Long time since I saw this Apple! :D Real bite of nostalgia here. Colors are all just right too, though the bite hmm... bit clean cut. Nice work!

-cd-

Christopher responds:

Taste the rainbow
