Aalasteir's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[TV Puppet Pals]

You’ve captured the essence of Statler and Waldorf with amazing energy!

[Digimon Fanarts!]

Great work—it's terrific how you use such vibrant and powerful colors that convey so much soul, fun, and adventure.

How did you get interested in creating art?

Btoon12 responds:

Oh well! I personally loved watching cartoons on TV and play video games on my Ds! so I basically wanted to do the same thing xD! Since I was very little, very very little I have been drawing, I like to create stories and ocs, eventually I started doing commissions and selling adoptables and I have fun with that too ! (I don't care that art is no longer a well-paid job, I would live off this all my life )

Also thank you for appreciating my art! You flatter me a lot. 🥹

[SpookyKiku]

The composition is very well thought out.

[Charizard Flying (Animation!)]

Excellent animation! How did you learn to animate so well, and what was your process for creating your Charizard flying?

Araina-art responds:

Thank you!!!!!!!
Can't say I even animate that much, but If you get the timing and frames right you can animate really anything! I looked at how some animes space their frames depending how close and far the object is from the camera.
I also used an official model sheet for Charizard and studied that quite closely!

As for the shading, I did two layers for each shadow and highlight, and used the Gaussian blur effect for that copied layer. it gives it that nice cloudy/glow effect!

[BBBBBraixen]

Very funny! You have a good sense of humor. Braixen is really cool. How did you become interested in drawing Pokémon?

[Chimera]

This piece just draws you in. What are your thoughts on social media’s impact on artists?

[not avengers]

This is visually captivating.

[Lírio]

Such a bold and dynamic piece! What advice would you give to someone just starting in art?

PitangaDeJardim responds:

Hey! First of all, thanks so much for your comment—It really makes me happy to know that someone likes my art! As for advice, something I wish I’d known earlier is that you don't have to hide your sketch layer. Those sketchy lines can actually add a cool touch to your artwork sometimes, and it's okay to experiment with them in different art styles too ^^

[Clearing up confusion]

Thank you for clearing up the confusion! You have a very interesting design. How many revisions did you go through to finalize your character's design? They are really cool! What advice would you have for someone just starting to create art? What advice has helped you in making your art?

[scourge]

You have a unique style. What are your creative goals? And why?

whimsical-wife responds:

thank you! I would have to say my creative goals are to make unique and fun creations, as well as provide more content to newgrounds itself. I've always had an eye out for colorful and interesting concepts, even as a child. it's fun to contribute fun and colorful things to the world, and in turn make people happy in the same way I become happy upon looking at similar creations.
as for the newgrounds thing, I just love newgrounds. it's the only website I've felt a true sense of community on and been able to make friends upon. it's great to be able to both give back to the community and meet new artists thru things like my art, the bbs and collabs and I'm always thinking up new ideas to get more involved on here!
