TankTheta's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hemoglobin]

That's a fun design, expression on the face is filled with character and goofiness. Though who's skeleton is that, hers?

[Ascension]

Then go to sleep

[Octobit Day 7: umop 3p!sdn]

That's a really dynamic scene, really way more fantasy than I expected from you. Really enjoy the scarf flowing upwards and the burning sun as she falls to the void.
Any story behind this one?

Ioruko responds:

Thank you! Not really a story, just a mood establishment piece for her

[Dying in limbo]

Rest In Peace, you fought till the end.

May you continue forward even in the beyond.

Linkjawerc responds:

anonymous stories

[Lip Sync Test]

Mouth ain't bad, just proportions are a bit too off. If you cleaned up the faces, it would be interesting. Also I reckon an RPG would be nice, in the style of old classic horror RPGs, or stuff like Silent Hill.

grossfoots responds:

Oh i wanted it to be off so it’s more like a weird alien vibe and all, but being that i love silent hill to death i’ll take it into consideration!

[Oct 6]

It sure is. But you made a piece with alot of heart.

[Skye]

Yo Hcnone, I actually wanted to do an interpretation of Skye, so I did one here, tell me what you think in the feedback of it.

[Blooming]

It's a nice piece, I enjoy the flower in the right eye. Any symbolism behind this or just there for being cool?

[Octobit Day5: Too many eyes]

I wouldn't worry too much. I feel more pressure for I put on myself for people I oathed to complete my game Thorne for, than anything else.
In the end of the day, so long as you keep up the quality you do now, people won't be disappointed in you. You're doing more than good enough, you're doing great.
As for relevant, well people don't just follow artists because they're chasing trends, they follow an artist because their works are appealing and interesting. Like this piece her you made, I appreciate because it's a very personal piece you've made here. One that shows your fears and worries in a very human way. Maybe I should upload one of my own as a token of that humanity being shown. EDIT: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/tanktheta/your-time-means-nothing I actually did just now, it's good to send out a piece from a personal place.

Also don't worry about saying something "bad". I mouth off like an idiot all the time, just one look at my twitter shows that. It's better to make mistakes and not have the worry of making mistakes drag you down. So long as you don't shit on your audience or try to smash criticism I think you'll be fine.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this one. Personal pieces from the heart can be hard to share, but they're meaningful. And this one was.

Ioruko responds:

Thanks for your input and comforting words! I hope for the best for both of us!

[the first animation]

Coming from an experienced animator like me, It's certainly rough but you got potential. For a first animation it certainly ain't bad, you got some idea of good keyposing, expression, a sense of story telling and more.

There are certainly issues. Like here, the scene felt flat because you didn't try to make the character break out of a side on perspective like the dummy. And the slash is backwards (And the striking pose is a bit rough). It's just about refining it, learning more about dynamic perspective and incorporating that, making your poses stronger, and making your attacks more clear.

Keep chasing the potential you have. Someday, you'll make this spark of talent you have grow to a great blazing star. Don't lose sight of that. And hey, if you got animation works in future, let me know, I'll gladly give feedback on how to improve them. Goodluck with your future works of animation.

FadingMond responds:

Thank you very much for your critique! i'll make sure to follow what you said for the next one!
