Galneda's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jani dressed]

She's a cutie! I love the floating bun, and her overall hair shape is fun.

Catinyt responds:

Thank you!! x)

[Explaining Bwomp (2024 Ver.)]

Thicc superiority gang here. Out of everything here, I think I'm most impressed by the double speech bubble having that gradient effect so that it behaves like two actual bubbles combined.

Text reads nice and clean and the art is comprehensive. I'd love to pick your brain about your process for organizing and executing dialogue and information in this format.

[Gundam RX-78NT-1]

Favorite Rx78. 0080 is so great, and Merry Christmas!

[Gundam ZZ]

ZZ doesn't start feeling like a Gundam show until they land on Earth.

Suddenly they're coordinating with each other as they're manuevering around a desert, and I'm like "ANNND WE'RE BACK" but then it all gets derailed when Puru puru puru uses up they're dwindling supply of water to take a bath. And I'm ripped right out of the immersion and can't help but think "Who is this for, how is this better?"

Quin Mantha and the Zeta's pilot killshot redeems only a little bit of what was otherwise a complete clusterfuck of Universal Century fumbling, but it *DID* come out with some pretty fun Mobile Suits and it wrapped up Haman Karn's confusing-ass arc.

I'd say ZZ walked so that Char's Counterattack could run, but it'd be more accurate to say "ZZ Moon Moon'd so that CCA could wrap up the end of an era."

I'd love to see how you handle the Quin Mantha! Without her, we wouldn't have gotten my favorite, the Kshatriya.

[Egg Snail]

I'm captivated by the juxtaposition of concepts. The snail, typically seeking refuge in a hard shell to keep it safe from predators, yet this cute and whimsical creature has a shell that embodies fragility in its design.

It could only exist in a safe realm. They seem watchful, but calm. How I would love to visit such a place, if only to admire what kind of tranquil ecosystem could harbor such a peaceful animal.

What would their friends look like? What other evolutionary wonders could be found in their habitat? Perhaps if its simply referential to breakfast foods, there could be bacon snakes and flapjack mushrooms. Waffle Turtles and Maplesuckle plants. Mashed Potato Birds and Country Fried Squirrels....in appearance alone. Please don't depict a squirrel being deep-fried.

If this snail's appearance is an evolutionary advantage, what predator would be attracted to eating snails, but averse to eating eggs? Unless the camoflauge was meant to blend in with nests, and the snail was attracted to something they could only eat in those nests. What would the species of that egg-layer look like?

It spins the mind into overdrive, and I really like this art. It's a simple inspiration, executed perfectly, and it is a playground for the imagination. Thank you.

[Nintendo DS Lite - Lowpoly!]

This is super cool, how you're able to perfectly capture that bright charm from that very specific era of 3D art and animation.

Is this Blender? All tricks in the textures? It's really cool, and I'd love to learn how to pull off something like this someday soon.

[Commish: Jehuty]

ZoE will always have a very special place in my heart. And by heart, I mean cockpit.

Looking back at your earlier piece from 2021, you've been improving by leaps and bounds! Beyond the Bounds, even! Keep going!

EthanDoesaThing responds:

Thank you very much!

[Armored Core doodle lol]

Every part looks really great! Shoji Kawamori would be proud.

I think the hands look a little too "gloved human", that's my only really big critique. Other than that, this entire design looks like it would fit into any of the Armored Core titles. Great job, Raven!

[Resting]

A boy and his MT.

[Go get 'em, Champ!]

Now THAT's a proper Guntank. Go get 'em, Raven!

I made my buddies crack up one time on Gundam Battle Operations 2 by rolling into a huge brawl of Mobile Suits by screaming "SHOOT TA THRILL! WAY TO KILL!" while unloading with the Guntank MP's rocket hands into the crowd, and now I associate AC/DC with the big clanker.
