ratchili's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[2005]

I love when artists make painterly renditions of digital media, the stylistic dichotomy makes it so weird and fun to look at. Honestly I’d suggest leaning more into that and seeing what kind of crazy stuff you could make.

CaptionPanic responds:

Its fun every so often, I'd never make it my "thing" tho. I do this mostly for fun after all.

[Skin Mouth]

The linework and the round shapes and all the fur and folds actually remind me a lot of Dr Seuss funnily enough, except amazingly grotesque. Great design, love seeing this kind of creature design! MAN I wish horror movies would start utilizing cool monster designs more.

PorriDge4 responds:

Thanks for the commentary, appreciate it a lot. Yeah, I have been having sort of similar thoughts to what you have expressed. Most of the horror creature designs Ive seen in movies and videogames often boil down to either "big tall thing with elongated limbs and a big mouth, many teeth probably too", a "demon with horns. Thats it" or "scary woman with long hair and a possible appendage". Dont get me wrong, these ideas have a long history and are very effective, since they respond to many fundamental ideas of what produces fear in the first place, but I dont find them as interesting or creative as I would have wanted to. Which is why I am interested in playing around with grotesque shapes and concepts and seeing how I can alter them so they would be more appealing. Or odd. Lol.

The style and perspective on this is so crazy, it's kinda dizzying and I fuck with it

Jomocho responds:

The dutch tilt has done its job xD

[Flower Child Sheet]

This is such a fun design omg

FlamingPickle responds:

Woo thank you!!

[Gt 22: Growth]

This fucking rocks

sinnykitt responds:

Thank you!!

[the Cancer]

This is awesome. What made you incorporate photo collage for the character's mouth? It's so weird and cool

RistoKy responds:

Tnx dude! I use lot of photo collage in my art so there isn't any real reasons why :)

[Galarian Slowking]

Your design is so much better honestly, that green pearl still seems out of place tho. I also dig the dope little animation loop, the stylized effects are nice.

alecgrosso responds:

thanks a lot!! I agree the green gem isn't working for me either

[haha pikachu go boing]

Like how cute and floaty this is! needs a few extra frames when he pops out though bc his tail and ears go out too suddenly and it looks off

VonVector responds:

Yeah, I definitely should've added a few more frames that over-shot the extremes to make the transition more of a bounce and less like a snap. Thank you!

[Super Quarantine And Ghosts]

Fun style and animation on the lighting, could be a little smoother on the transition from day to night though

little-slice responds:

What a horrible night to have a curse.

["They Gon' Feel This One"]

I would loooooove to see this animated, the simple and fun style is just begging for this piece to be some sort of looping animation

CupOfJoe7 responds:

I would love that too. I am not too good at animating pixel art, but i may give it a shot.
