post-intellectual's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[amother abstract]

BOREDOM WORKS. SOMETIMES.

great use of different kinds and scales of details - some scanlines here, and some ghostly dark strokes there. that warped face looks nightmarish. that'll scare the crap out of some kids.

doomsdayz responds:

thank you oh my god :oD !!!

[Lovecraftian Entity]

MAYBE THE FUCKER JUST DOESN'T WANT TO BE NAMED.

you nailed the lovecraftian aspect you wanted. dark as fuck, and it looks like it's some cosmic monstrosity that's hiding away in some nebula. imagine seeing that terrifying thing outside the window of a spaceship!

SlenderEnderGuy responds:

If I was an alien and I saw that thing, I'd piss whatever I'm wearing

[hyperdimensional pasu]

i really ought to use blender again. i once used it a while back for some abstract crap. I like this, with its varying levels of detail and all the glowing curves that weave in and out of each other. the dashes of noise in some of the strokes are a nice touch.

pInkmoth responds:

i use photo-editing software for this effect, starting with a render i made in blender. XOR an image with a gaussian blurred version of itself; blender can't do that operation for complicated techy reasons.

[Lords RNG (The Better Version)]

so much going on here. one very narrow band of hues just for extra creepiness. chaotic cross-hatching and shading. you nailed the whole 'single bright light with loads of dark shit in the background' thing! i even see a wheel of misfortune towards the left of the centre of the image.

EyepodNation responds:

That wheel is actually "N" itself. Alot less human in behavior than the more incohesive "R" in the fire. You could also spot N's hands as well

[Alpha Station]

liking the contrast between the abstract fucked up planet and the smooth-shaded space station. a few more details on the space station would do nicely (unless it's meant to be like that).

[abstract goth gf]

that's not a girlfriend. that's a GIRLFIEND. she wants to chainsaw your head off and feed it to the locals.

it's simple but it's kinda funny. how the fuck did you render a goth gf as a flattened stereotypical coffin?

pInkmoth responds:

blender magic :)

[Desolation 9/10/21]

very good watercolour. you already explain everything about this piece of art in the description. and yes, it's a giant fucking wasteland. some people manage to get on some very tall pillars indeed without even lifting a finger. some were born there. you seem to be getting knocked off by accident and also through the actions of spiteful or uncaring fools.

you managed to overcome your depression and make this. don't feel bad - it's not something a stupid kid would do. but if you still think you're useless, charge through your depression and take on something you fear (as long as you can get out alive and learn something in the process). don't feel guilty - just get on with shit and experiment. be as merry as you can. few can do it. (i can't.) i want you to be one of those who can.

YourGuyIsa responds:

Means a lot man, thanks<3

[Russian Roulette with a Black Widow Cover / Assorted Articles]

how long did this take you?! this would take me a lifetime!

i'll be honest: i'm not gonna bother reading the book. i've got far too much on my plate and so much to do and study - it's too big and long-term of an investment for me. but even if your writing's dogshit (i don't know, but given the rest of your efforts, i bet it isn't) - writing a book, plucking something from each of the 40 chapters of the book, 3D-modelling some of them, and then drawing the rest as well as tracing the models and adding details just ain't something that a lot of people can do. your drawing style works really well too - i like the thin and tastefully-spaced lines, which makes it look like a well-thought-out notebook sketch. someone should give you a lot of money for that. five stars isn't enough.

i wish you well in your years ahead. i'm only a voice on the internet, but i hope that my encouragement helps you.

Intrapath responds:

It took a while, that's for sure! I worked on it here and there so it's hard to say, but 100 hours might be a decent estimate from start to finish. And that's totally fair when it comes to reading the book itself, no worries! And your encouragement more than makes up for it - it's always really awesome to read comments like these. Means a lot that you took the time to write them out, and to check the art out! Thanks so much!

[RAT]

who's this handsome evil bloke? i'd love to skin him and wear his face!

messy and nicely textured. good use of colour given the rugged aesthetic i think you were going for. could use a lot more grain and mess.

horrorboyog responds:

I this on a piece of cardboard fun fact i guess but thank you for the comment

[angel]

well the jaggy lines and the scribbled black eyes certainly make it creepy. next time add some blades and teeth or something. anglerfish can be real scary.
