Cyberdevil's art Reviews on Newgrounds

['Girg Crosses the Street']

Close call eh. :) Good memories with this one... not sure I've ever played the original, but so many a spin off game back in the day! Frogger was pretty big. Nice work.

Butzbo responds:

Thanks cd! I have a similar experience, used to play one on PC (named "Froggy", lol) but still have pending to try out the original.

[Rats [Commission]]

Rats, as pets...? Not hamsters? Mice? This was new.

They look so cozy though, with that ambient albeit somewhat large wave in the background... might change my opinions of such critters.

gatekid3 responds:

rats are a common pet i thought

[Nebay - Blue Jay/Satyr]

That green suit seems like an odd contrast (rather not such a big contrast) to the rest of the design, but form-wise looking good.

-cd-

UndyingSong responds:

I'm sorry, but the commissioner specified the look and colors of this piece, so I have no control over that. x3

[Have Yourself A Merry Little(worth) Christmas]

You've made some pretty wholesome collages and posters in the past too, most recently the impressively intricate Potatoman ones.. but yes, there's a certain warmth and atmosphere to this that the others don't seem to capture. It's not just the characters but the world around them, the glow, the clouds and all... looks cozy and suitably seasonal, and so much to look at. The clouds, are they maybe real clouds? You've sure come a long way with this stuff.

Merry Christmas CD!

-cd-

ChazDude responds:

Thank you, Cy

(btw yes, the clouds are from an actual photo I took)

:)

[Aqua lil lynx]

The gradient-type coloring that seems like it'd be way easier in digital than for real. Really cool. Cute form and enticing color shifts.

-cd-

torithefox responds:

The gradient looks a lot better irl, for whatever reason my phone just doesn't like green :(

[Face drawing]

Reminds me of Toriyama's early style, a bit. :) Pretty comical!

-cd-

ZRDR responds:

Yeah I can see that thanks

[Advent Banner]

In MS PowerPoint whaaaat?! Are such things even possible in such a program... that's an awesome feat in itself.

You really captured the warmth and lighting, and a both fruity and ancient arrangement, with that uneven wax you somehow always correlate with Christmas and coziness. Or maybe even more so a white and icy winter.

What an awesome idea to have these as banners too, shifting from occasion to occasion. Even if you'd think the height of each candle would shift a bit after each Sunday. ;) Pre-Advent could be Post-Advent too, btw.

Nice work. Blue flame is definitely something most don't seem to think about too. Impressive attention to detail too.

-cd-

Troisnyx responds:

Post-Advent normally calls for all four candles + 1, a white one, by the rubrics. 😁

On PowerPoint, one does need a tablet plugged in first off, then open the program to enable the Draw function. The Draw function actually gives these smooth lines — one needs to know when to select all parts of the sketch, save as PNG, reimport and change transparency — and with some practice, it can function like a rudimentary drawing program, which is admittedly what PowerPoint is not made for.

The warmth and the light and love are what I hope to impart to all who see this. Glad you like this one, thank you!~

[Goopi (Dragon Warrior Monster)]

Like... the one in Addams Family? Wonder which one came first.

Hands are hard to draw hmm, fingers bend a bit strange here, but not a bad start.

-cd-

ZRDR responds:

Adam's family definently came out before dragon quest

[tv time]

Comfortable monsters, unnaturally cozy. Such a tiny TV too. :)

linda-mota responds:

they still have these tiny tvs in the thrift shop. used to have one because it was so cheap.
