Conahugh's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Castle Crashers Pixel Art]

It was really nice to see the creation process on stream, its why I tune in to most, but none the less, its awesome. I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of pixel art, so forgive for sounding quite spastic. First of all, as a FAN art, this emulates Synj's style incredibly well. The colours, like the game, are bright and flashy and I can imagine trying to cell shade with pixels would be quite fiddly. The design is on point, even when i'm close up to my monitor, none of the pixels look out of place and almost perfectly aligned. The only issue I actually have is the background, I believe if you put something like a stylised graphic or even something Castle-Crasher themed it would have made the piece pop out a little bit more. Nothing too complex but I thought it might have added to it. However, im not to knowledgeable about art like this and i'd have to try it for myself to see what its like.

But anyway, I genuinely liked this, I thought it was a neat piece of fan art and a really cool homage to a really cool game

An M249 SAW. My personal weapon of choice from Call of Duty 4. Nostalgic.

Too slow, need that M16 with stopping power!

You have improved astonishingly quickly from your previous work (not to denounce any of said work, I just noticed the speed of progression). Your use of foreshortening and composition is extremely well done and, like with your other stuff, I really dig the colours and cell-shading, it really does emulate the art-style of the game (which I have still yet to play), while still keeping consistent with the style of your other art. If I was to be pick-nickity, I would probably say that the eyes should have been directed towards where the arms were aiming, it kinda looks like shes gazing into the distance. If that was intentional, I apologize, it was just a small observation. With that said, great work, keep it up and I look forward to see more of your stuff in the future.

MackleNG responds:

I have always wanted someone to post a lengthy review, thanks bb

I maybe an uncultured cretin for not playing the game, but I can still appreciate the art. This is cool so I can't fool myself and be irked because i'm not familiar with the source material. I need to play more games. But anyway, very well done.

TheUnseriousguy responds:

you should pick it up its a really fun game

[Twilight Toes]

It was really awesome to see this develop on stream. Good work, my friend.

FroggywithFries responds:

Thanks Spyokk!

[Techno Folly Dop]

For some reason, your style reminds me of that of Hiroyuki Imaishi. It has a very 'Dead Leaves' vibe to it. Anyways, really nice work, man and good luck with exams and stuff. I'm goin through my A levels so you're not alone.

MackleNG responds:

thanks man, good luck with your exams as well bb

[Adventure Time Star Wars]

Not really a big fan of the show, but I can't fault you on that. You replicate the style really well and your colours are really neat to but I kind of expect that from you. I like it, I even like it, a lot.

[Captain Pussyboi]

This made me happy. Good job, Mr Utah and Co.

[SleepyCabin Boys]

[StarCraft Ghosts]
