TheSketchyArtist's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Falling in Lesbians]

I didn't get the chance to play the game back when it was new, so I'm quite happy that its being re-released to the modern consoles. From some of my peers its quite the love letter to retro gaming. These two need to get a room for some special 'co-op playing' to take place.

Drawsputin responds:

The comics were already a love letter to video games, so adapting them to a retro beat'em up was a perfect choice.

The also had one of the best sprite animators to work on the art direction; same guy who animated the game characters that came to life in Gravity Falls.

[Hellooooo, CEO!]

I do approve of this. Its fun to see that twitter is enjoying Nora a lot. I think it would've been funnier if you had changed the background painting of plotz biting his lips for good humor.

Drawsputin responds:

Ah, I should have done that to the portrait! DAMN IT!

That would have been funny! XD

[Uhh Ben?]

Even Ben knows that Gwen's got it packing back there.

Drawsputin responds:

This is probably why Ben and Julie broke up. XD

[Quit It Mom!]

Guess Golide is jealous that her mom is more 'developed' than she is.

Drawsputin responds:

The envy is as big as her mom’s endowments. 😆

[Squish Bandicoot]

You're a magnificent bastard for doing this. I love this too much. She's got a lot of wumpa back there.

Drawsputin responds:

Wumpa for days my friend. 😋

[Very, Very Dark]

Honestly, if Lizardcube(Streets of Rage, Wonder boy) or even Wayforward handled the IP of Battletoads, we could've still had the queen in all of her sexy glory. I really cannot help but feel that both Microsoft AND Rare told the developer to tone down the queen. I've seen fan-art from many who redesigned the queen but not going overboard on her from what made her known in the first place.

I'm actually digging what I'm seeing here. I see the queen in her glory(sexiness and all) and she's ready to do evil things. Plus with an occasional evil(yet hammy) laugh of course.

Drawsputin responds:

Whatever office culture Lizardcube and WayForward have, more studios and companies need it. You can tell they have more creative freedom; especially with their female character designs.

Microsoft or Rare might be to blame, but sometimes terrible design decisions can be the fault of the directors or even the lead artists if they're super woke. Just look at what happened to the female designs in Mortal Kombat 11 or Last of Us Part 2 where women like Abby have literal male pecs because breasts are so "problematic."

Hopefully the Dark Queen can someday return to her former glory; even if it takes another 25 years.

[Rey's Third Lesson]

That was strangely hot, and I wish to be in Rey's place here.

Drawsputin responds:

Rey would be happy for anybody to take care her place. XD

[The Lady]

I actually remembered this short, this is was done by some of the people who worked on the pitch trailer for The Goon. They had a lot of fun giving the physics for this lady.

Drawsputin responds:

Yep, it's the same team; Blur Studio. Co-founded by Tim Miller ( Deadpool ). They do lots of visual effects and CGI work.

Jeff Fowler is also a writer and animator on this short, and he went on to direct the Sonic movie.

[Select Six Fanarts Stage]

I'd like to imagine what happens when you go into each world.

SteLomation responds:

You'd hunt them down and take their abilities? XD

[Hallber and Helen Weekly 3/27/2020]

So the little wooden bastard is starting to see the error of his ways.

SteLomation responds:

Still though, the cricket is right. Bad things will happen to him.
