Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Diacrisis Trailer]

Yet again that voice acting is just one a whole other level! Transitions are swift, the setting builds, the panning forests, and flashing colors and sometimes eerie and sometimes frantic soundtrack really build something here. Both the mood, and certain elements remind me of all the horror games I love to play, classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill but also newer ones like Alan Wake, with the shifting nuances of blue and thick forestry all over. The 2D graphics feel like both a limitation but also refreshingly new. Haven't tried any larger game like that since the days of Dangerous Dave, and that wasn't really horror... curious how it'll work with this one. Congrats on the release and hope the fanbase keeps building! Hoping to join in when time's enough for it.

[RubberOnionBattle March 2019]

Feels like it's been so long since the last one! :D Another creative session here, though I'm not sure I catch the last one... shopping... some game-based item? The real life bit was pretty fun, the 'it's life' pretty punchy, second was maybe the most elaborate, but first one... gotta be my favorite this time. That contrast. #1. All fun to watch though! Keep up the creative storming!

[New Features : Foamy The Squirrel]

Can relate to this one. XD Justifying their value indeed... and keeping the economy rolling. The whole world seems to rely on useless updates these days. Not just digital...

[Epic Battle Fantasy Collab]

Well this was nice. :) Beautiful music to accompany a gracious show of artistry inspired by the game, brings back memories... even if I still haven't played through the early ones as much as I'd like to. Wish I immersed myself in the EBF world right from the start.

Collab feels like maybe the wrong word for this though, more like Tribute? Homage? Anniversary Artistry? Limited Celebratory 10 Year Special Showcase? Technically it's correct but... maybe it's the fact that it's mostly imagery that feels misleading. Had me expecting animation more so, but either way a pleasure to witness. Great work all, and Happy 10! Hope it's still just the beginning.

[Me, Myself, and My Madness process]

A 'speedpaint' of actual art like this... it's pretty cool. Might be the first time I see it. Wonder if it'd be possible to set up a video camera at such an angle you can actually capture the painting process too some time? That'd be cool to see. As it is you see the layers build, the detail grow, the colors change... but you grow curious as to how each change really came about, and what errs might be camouflaged under the pain. Feels like that'd be both all the more intimate and all the more educational if that's what you wish to derive from it.

Even if the final piece is definitely the big thing here, and the process more of a bonus. Maybe it'd get in the way of the art trying to document things too much. Turned out great.

MariaSh responds:

On my instagram I have some filmed videos of paintings and drawings actually!! I intended to film this one but since I don't have a studio and just paint in my house I ended up moving the canvas around a lot, I also don't have a tripod so a lot of my filming is pretty gross://

Here's a link to a coloured pencil piece I filmed:)

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[D.Va wants to thank her fans]

Always appreciate some expressive appreciation! Looking good.

[Half-Demon]

Pretty cool, and smooth, though with that initial explosion it almost looked like her boobs just popped right off! For a second or so. Feels like a misleading bang on that one bit. Otherwise all nice.

[Seen Endgame yet?]

Was expecting something different from the thumbnail!!! But animation's OK too. Refreshing. Different (after the real-life experimental stuff). Can dig it. Also just watched this today so: spoiler's accepted. I just have to say though: ditto. It didn't have the element of surprise as the last one did, but those emotional moments. Damn. Honorable end. And this: fun little sketch.

Hope you go see it soon! Reviews finna contain some spoilers too.

[Bears]

Really getting some Scooby Doo vibes from this! :D Not just the chorus but parts of the cartoon too, close-up eyes and bear silhouettes and what-not, good memory-ending bits there. And it just goes perfectly with that music too. Love this. Nostalgic and newly entertaining too. Love the textures too.

[Best Man]

Requires some urban knowledge this one. XD Live and learn... though seems people are way more initiated here already. Nice sketch. Definitely not too long either...
