Brushtale's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ren Amamiya]

An easy 5 stars! I love how your art style handles the lighting and various effects in this piece; the blood fading into blue fire, the face of Arsene igniting behind Joker... Also loving the dynamic angle, and how well you filled all the available space here. There's just so much to look at, and it's honestly all so pleasing to the eye. Incredible piece overall!

Thank you so much!! ^^

Such a serene piece! I'm really loving the muted colors and huge clouds. The structures are too far off to tell - are they stones? Ruins? Marks of civilization? - but this piece really makes me want to row across that lake and find out as I explore the land. It almost gives me some Legend of Zelda vibes, in the very best Lake Hylia kind of way. Awesome job!

hexic54 responds:

Thank you for response!! :-) I think I drew them initially as stones but looking at them again I think I like them way better as ruins, thank you!! I appreciate the feedback <3

Wild lineart, poppin' colors, really funky characters...and the vaporwave vibes are out of this world! I don't know anything about the game, but awesome job on this piece!

[Penrose Tower]

I love this! The animation's simple, but really smooth. The muted color palette is so pleasing to the eye, and really makes the electricity pop. And the textures on that stone are perfect! I feel like I could run my hand over every groove. Awesome job all around!

Rappenem responds:

Thanks ^^

So cute and good to see the LeBlanc faction of the Phantom Thieves together! I love how sketchy and simplistic the lines are, but how incredibly natural the poses turned out. The clothes lay and wrinkle really well, too. Overall just really pleasing to the eye, and really gets the job done. Well done!

"Sir, this is Persona 5, you're gonna need to be a lot more specific." This comic got a genuine chuckle out of me, though. I love the expressions and the art quality, even on a small scale. The twin wardens peeping over the corner is adorable too. Awesome job!

HenLP responds:

That's very much appreciated, glad for them chuckles. Thank you.

[The Past]

Incredible expressions and body language here! The quotes hit so heavy, too. I'm sitting here wishing that this interaction had been in the game, or that this comic had more pages or chapters. Instead, I just keep rereading it and drinking in all the emotion in those eyes. You have thrown me deep in the feels and given me no escape, and I salute you. I love this piece so much!

Lyonface responds:

TYSM!! I'm really glad you like it! Comics are always more laborious than I expect when I start one lol. Akeshuake is pain and we love it here.

[The Mailman Ghost]

This got steadily better as it went on, but that last panel got me so bad! It's cool to see visual storytelling done so well. Awesome job!

[Shantae]

Beautiful! Shantae looks so cute and shiny, and her hair is so plush. I love how the ponytail takes so many right angle turns, but you made it flow really naturally. Her smile is charming, her curves are smokin, and the whole picture is fun and pleasing to the eye! The Smash64 platform honestly just reminds me how much I'd love to see her in Smash Bros. Dance through the danger, Shantae! Awesome job overall!

Jun-Kou responds:

ayyyy thank you so much!!!!

[Territory]

Whoa! Incredible atmosphere in this piece. You've stacked the different layers of trees perfectly here, not a single blank space with nothing to look at, and the mistiness at ground level lends a lot of texture. That T-rex's sheer size and single dot eye (and teeth) were what really got me though. It really evokes some visceral, primal "you are the prey" feelings. Awesome job!
