Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[if DID was a person -- long speedpaint]

Interesting way to frame in the speedpaint! Definitely adds an aesthetic to it, and I'm curious what program that is you're using? Not bad.

AisforAlistair responds:

Thanks! I figured since the capture itself is such an awkward and small shape it needed something to provide the illusion that it isn't surrounded by void haha.

I used the Autodesk Sketchbook app (I also use the PC version of it to draw and animate).

[Speedpaint (Photoshop) Cree Ashfield]

Pretty smooth work! Nice speedpaint.

[2020 [Animation]]

Short but fun. :) Happy 2020!

[Saiyan Saga in a Nutshell]

Seems just about right. :) Familiar but: with twists. Thoroughly enjoyable.

[Peach and Daisy's Christmas Night]

Feels almost like time ran out for a thorough final punchline there. :) But Happy 2020! It's a suitably feelgood; festive thing for such an occasion, albeit without any real ending.

[Kevil the Japanese Devil - Pilot (Trailer)]

This looks promising! :D Can't wait.

[Scoob Wars - Fred Learns the Truth]

This deserves a sequel. XD Post-credit elaboration or no... also how did Fred get his hand back there? Is it all a dream? Is it all... fiction without a red thread? :O Hilarious stuff though. Just wish we could've seen Scoob's face... that's the Scooby Dooby Truth.

[TD-Manga-ka]

Not too many really realize both of their two childhood dreams like this though! That's pretty rad. And you really could draw even back then, good contexts or no, sounds like a fun time. And damn Scott Pilgrim cameo too! :D Congrats!

I remember Gone With The Blastwave fondly, and some of them others. Was heavy into VG Cats and similar ones too (the author there recently went on to draw porn). White Ninja occasionally (that one started writing movie reviews a while then disappeared entirely). Somehow I moved into XKCD with time and that's the only thing I read now. Weekly.

The wave might have died down but maybe it's just that a few gained such a big following that they carry most of the interest these days? And other mediums keep the spotlight.

Also what about being a real Manga-ka, man! There's not a single manga here. Does this really qualify? Does this really befit the title?! I thought you might've transcended into a whole new style towards the end of this, but there be just the minor glimpses... I know manga generally implies comics as a whole, but at the same time I feel it's inherently tied to a different kind of culture, and western comics/those ones still all but on the same playing field. Maybe it's in the art, maybe the humor, maybe in the breakneck schedules and commitment that have these dudes working 360 days a year and barely even sleeping. Crazy world...

Anyway: this was fun. I'm glad you're doing this stuff. I'm glad you forgot the login on that ancient comic that is now possibly preserved for all eternity on a more forgotten bastion of the great net, and if you ever decide to quit this creative journey here, and maybe even ponder purging your archives... I sincerely hope you forget the login info here as well so we may enjoy them for all times to come, from generation to generation. ;)

All the best.

Raziberry responds:

Aw that was lovely, thank you!
I said "manga-ka" cause it makes a better title better than "comic book creator", and while my comics were hardly manga, there was a serious weebiness to them.
At this point, I'd never want to remove any of my old (or current) work. I now prefer the idea of it living on for any poor sucker than comes along and happens to enjoy it.
Thanks again for the kind words!
