Plasmarift's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Doki Doki!]

I like the colorfulness of the drawing and I also like how well you captured each of their appearances in your own way. My only complaint with the drawing would be Sayori, as her hair looks too puffy here, where as her hair is more flat in the game. Also, you made her hair brown, where as it should be something along the lines of pinkish brown.

Regardless, I still like the drawing and look forward to seeing more from you.

kurumilover responds:

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[Newgrounds in Metroidvania 2]

How long did it take you to make this? There is so much detail. You've included a lot of recently released characters in this too like Pound the Puss and the Tiny Theft game and even old ones like one of my favorite games, the Vegetable Game. The detail and imagination that went into this is amazing. My entry doesn't hold a candle to this. You deserve a place in the top rankings for the competition and maybe even in Newgrounds history (considering it has a lot of history in it).

Good luck in the competition and great job!

ScepterDPinoy responds:

About around 4 weeks. I approve your entry. Everyone is welcome to make awesome pixel art.

[Dc Girls Group Shot]

This is a nice drawing. Who is the blonde in black in the bottom left corner?

AleBorgo responds:

That'd be the Black Canary. Such a lovely young lady.
She's wearing her 2007 Birds of Prey attire.

A-Borg.

[Babe Runner - NEW official teaser ^^]

So where can I find this game?

TheRealTheWorst responds:

Hello, Plasmarift.
Nowhere at present, but we're working hard to deliver a fully working demo real soon.
You can either start following me here for further updates or join Discord Chat (The Worst Channel) through this invitation: https://discord.gg/gcmA4af
Anyway rest assured I'll let the world know as soon as we're ready to hit the internet.
Thanks for your interest! ^^

[Snatch Steal]

As great as usual (though I think Yugi's hair outline should be more reddish instead of purple).

I did want to ask about the NSFW version, I thought you said a while back you'd never draw that kind of stuff (or at least show no private parts). Have you changed your mind?

bocodamondo responds:

it was going to happen sooner or later anyway like with scottfalco and speedosausage haha

[Still You -UnderTale FanArt-]

I would like the picture more if you didn't include the "injury" or if you made it actually look like an injury. It looks like a bird pooped on her. Other than that, it looks very nice.

Zolen responds:

Edit: fixed now, as far as I can tell.

Still as to if it's better is a matter of opinion I suppose.

[Eden]

I wasn't planning on commenting, but after reading the one below with 0 stars, it seemed too harsh. The wings might not be perfect, but they are definitely an attempt at authenticity and pretty good in my opinion, compared to other drawn wings that I've seen.

I don't really know what's going on in the picture, but it all seems very surreal (which is a good quality in drawing, especially here on Newgrounds. There aren't too many kinds of pictures like this). It actually reminds me of the Binding of Isaac (which, from looking at the faded big guy in the background and other things like the blue fairies, cements this thought even further in my mind). The picture's kind of creepy so I'd say you hit the nail on the head.

for suggestions, I say trying adding more detail to it, especially in the places around the winged character (you can barely see the blue bugs). I look forward to your next creation. Good luck!

AlixBalica responds:

Hey, thanks for the review!
Yeah I see what you mean, you see this thing has been sitting unfinished for MONTHS so I rushed it so I could move on other stuff (I hate leaving good stuff unfinished, which results in deep detail in some parts and half-assed stuff on the rest), so yeah, the background and blue flies were all rushed and didn't pay much attention to it. I might go back and do some proper work on it!
Again, thank you so much for taking your time into analyzing my artwork and writing a review, it really helps a lot <3

[Vault 108]

Awwww, why cancel it? Looks pretty awesome to me and I've never even played Fallout (the environment kind of reminds me of scriptwelder games like Deep Sleep though more like you're looking at it from farther away). The only thing I would have suggest working on was the background behind the door and where the floor is (it looks like the guy is standing on the wall). Well, whatever you're next project will be, I'm sure it will be great. Good luck!

deathink responds:

Thanks man. Maybe I will upload some more art from it someday... or even finish it.

[DETERMINATION]

Seeing that the comment section is empty and that there is input box for me to submit one fills me with Determination.

But really, I don't comment as much as I used to, but seeing as there were none on this submission, I felt it deserved one. I love the vibrant colors you used in this drawing, the expressions on the characters' faces are awesome, and the art style (along with the color choices) stay very true to the original art by the creator of the game. I also like the inclusion of the red heart. It does seem kind of strange how small she (no gender is stated in game, but I think it's a she) is here compared to everyone else, but it does add to the cuteness and definitely stresses the fact that she's a kid (I also like her expression). Overall, very well done.

On another note, I also checked out the link for buying a t-shirt of this print. I wish the picture was more spread out on the shirt (I don't mean to make it bigger, but in the picture, they're scrunched together and it's cool and funny in the picture, but on a shirt, I just wish they were more spread out. I know there's nothing you could do about that, except for drawing a brand new picture, but I still wanted to voice my thought). Still, I honestly wanted to buy one, which is a feeling that I've never gotten in a long time (and this coming from the person who hasn't boughten a t-shirt in years because I just wear old ones), but it seems kind of pricy. I could understand $15 and even $20, but $27 is really pushing it.

LovelyKouga responds:

Thank you so much for the kind review! I don't get much feedback, you're right, so it's very much appreciated :P
In regards to the squishiness, I was trying to fit it on a standard A3 size poster, which proved difficult considering how tall all the characters are hahah! Looking at it now, I can definitely see what you mean for the Tshirt...If I had been designing it for that purpose, I hopefully would have adjusted it!
Oh gosh is it really $27? I didn't realise x.x I tend to post links to the redbubble because you can get the design on many things not just shirts, and the print quality is the best out of all the other sites I've tried. If you really would like one, Tpublic is OK quality but a nice price: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/322011-this-shirt-fills-you-with-determination

[Bad Time, Traveller]

Pretty good picture. Very good work on the shading. As for your thoughts on the game, they're reasonable though the reason Flowey was able to come back to life was the same reason that those weird things in Alphys lab were able to be resurrected; through an injection of determination. The reason that Flowey didn't melt like the others did was because the flower provided a solid body for him to inhabit. As for his emotions, it was more that he had no capacity to love or care for anyone. He could express emotions (evident through his facial expressions), feel frustration, sadness, fear (the last of which he never had to feel because he had the power to reset before Frisk came along), but none of the important stuff like love or happiness.

And about the genocide run, I'm pretty sure the creator made it so it wouldn't be fun, as it seems like he hoped and intended for people to take the no killing run. Unless you are a sadistic person or feel really unattached to the game, the genocide run is heartbreaking and really puts you into the role of a heartless villain (a lot of games don't tend to make you feel bad when you do something bad in a game of choice, but Undertale makes you feel every bump in the road). And as for villains, the real villain is the player, depending on the path they take. Chara might as well just be a name as she had no role than to help set up the plot and "influence" the player. Flowey could be thought of as a living incarnation of Chara's will or at least, that's how I thought of it. But the game really didn't have much in the way of villains. Any evil produced in the game comes from the player.

MarikBentusi responds:

Oh yeah I know that Flowey could come back to life at all because of Determination, but separate of that the only sense "self" that can come back is constructed by their Essence in absence of a Soul. Essence was pretty much just made up for that one character to explain why they're a completely unsalvagable tragedy, which just seemed like a contrivance to me.

I don't think making the genocide run completely unfun doesn't really gel with Chara telling you how you did it all for XP/LV/Gold/ATK/DEF/stats and didn't care about the world/characters, because really most people (from what I can tell) either did it because that's just how they expect RPGs to work or because they really liked the world/characters and wanted to see more dialogue. None of which is part of the point Chara's trying to make from what I can see.

I mean, call them what you want - villains, antagonistic forces, whatever - I'm not really too concerned about semantics. The player definitely didn't produce Chara or Flowey's destructive nature, they're responsible for the Genocide run, which is the third "villain" I mentioned.
