Chip-Potato's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Burlesque of Neptune]

This is such an intriguing concept for a monster. Something lurking in the deep with a body part it extends to the surface to find its prey. Like a handpuppet... er, tonguepuppet?

Thank you so much!! I can't remember if I had any particular inspirations with this piece -- I have all of my sketches, info, and creative process for this piece over here: https://beethovenus.myportfolio.com/burlesque-of-neptune

[madness (shit)]

You really did a good job capturing the style and method of character design in the actual series! I notice that most if not all characters will typically be built off of the same base, and then have a handful of distinguishing features given to reflect their personality- this is clearly what you did here!

The hair, bag, glasses and name tag(?) create visual interest, but the detail that really centers the viewer's attention is the missing jaw, as its blood-red and pearly-white color scheme contrasts nicely with the greys of the rest of the design! Even with the bandana in the bottom right, you still have a bit of visible blood spatter, and the design on the front of it has pure white fangs.

All in all, IMO, this is a really cool design that fits really well within the world of Madness Combat!

Beethovenus responds:

Thank you!! This was my first ever time doing Madness Combat art, and it was meant moreso as just shitty doodles than anything else. I think I did the style pretty well, and I'd be interested to see what higher-effort piece I could make.

this really is, a super kirby lover

I'm surprised the bright yellow outlines work as well as they do. My only real gripe, I think, is that Tankman's head is a little too round at the bottom half, and Boyfriend's eyebrows could be like, slightly more prominent? That's basically it, though. This is great, overall!

SuperKirbylover responds:

yeah that's fair! when i made these, i was listening to branflake's guns remix, and i saw how tankman was an edited megaman sprite. i think i kind of tried to sprite it similar to that, but it's been a while
