Aalasteir's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[OviVixen: Chief Emblem Set]

Good designs, nice silhouettes.

Pupil’d Nu is my favorite.

For me, it has the most recognizable silhouette and is the most iconic enemy in your game.

OviManic responds:

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[dimension: lackluster]

I like how there's a clear distinction between the foreground and background, and how it lights as it moves into the distance. Did you create this piece entirely from your imagination? That's super cool!

wineplume responds:

thanks. yeah, everything here is just something my mind invented.

[Double-Stack Album Cover Art]

Thank you so much for creating the album cover! I like how you're referencing early Madness.

PLJerry responds:

Don't mention it, and yes I'm a genius, good thing I saved my background to use for this album cover.

[gno and me]

Funny hat man.

CasperTheRamKnight responds:

gno hats hide triangular head

[Carneiro]

That's a great coat of arms and nice poetry.

@CasperTheRamKnight, do you have more music recommendations?

I like punk music, especially Black Flag and Suicidal Tendencies.

CasperTheRamKnight responds:

vernissage by pisse

[Little plant portrait]

I like the strong colors! They pop very nicely.

FTerracciano responds:

Thank you!

[Xiang Trading Card [OC Cards Collab]]

Your OC is very cool!

ShangXian responds:

Thank you, she was made in 2016 when I discovered this dinosaur species and my love for microraptors was born. I like to make her silly and making her interact with some NG characters is even funnier because I can explore different way to develop her as OC. She still can talk like a human but in NGverse official characters just hear bird-like chirps and other avian sounds, and this can create funny or ambivalent situations XD (mostly misunderstandings and her being seen as a hysteric, strange-looking bird). Yes, dinosaurs didn't roar.

[Fighter!]

You're right; the song is very suitable for Scout.

What do you enjoy about Jack Stauber's songs?

TomaFokio responds:

I like the dynamic instrumental and voice very much

[NG Pattern Color Collab?]

Thank you so much for contributing your art to the collab!

PLJerry responds:

No problem, any time, anywhere!

[Pico sketches]

Very funny sketches with a great, detailed description as well!

What do you think about Pico's School?

ShangXian responds:

Heheheheh, thank you. Considering that many of the styles used are not mine, it was right to mention and promote some stuff (and keep track of games I want to replay over and over).

What do I think about it? Well, I LOVE IT. It's a game I discovered the evening I was painting my first Homer for the Great Homer Collab on August 17th (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/shangxian/woo-hoo-homer-collab). It was hot as hell, my AC was broken so we had to rely on fans scattered across the house. I opened my window and let "fresh" air come in along with the fan, I then went to the kitchen to paint there while enjoying a bit of fresh air from the fan. I knew about this Pico character in the previous months (even though I think to have seen him some years ago when I still thought of NG as "that flash games and movies website"), but only that evening I decided to play the game.

Initially I lost every time during Cassandra's boss fight because I didn't realize I had to hit her/him right in the eyes to avoid "laser" attack. Despite this I enjoyed the game a lot and I wanted to examine in depth the lore and characters. The more I discovered about them, the more I liked them and despite the game was made with a very edgy vibe around it, especially if you considered it came some months after the Columbine massacre, I found Pico, as character, tragic with what he had to endure thanks to Cassandra and the alien species that is after him.

Plus the game made me want to deepen my knowledge about Philadelphia (the city where Pico lives) and I love when artistic products make me want to expand my knowledge in different areas. So yeah, GO PICO YEAH!
