Galneda's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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!

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!

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.

"NOW IT'S YOUR TUUURRRNN"
*unloads with every gun he has*
*misses every shot on a stationary, uncamouflaged target standing in the middle of the street*

08th MS Team was a one-of-kind, and I loved that Ez8.

[VIDEO GAMES-Tenacious D Music Video]

Oh man! That music video came out so good! You and your team (even if the other teammates were simply Tenacious D!) Knocked it the hell outta the park! I hope this rockets up a lot of momentum for you. Keep the ball rolling!

Big fan of the triangle miniguns. Love the environment, and the head unit design is really strong. The neck plating is really interesting, and I love it when mecha incorporate designs like the mounting holes at the neck that imply it's towable or paradropped in.

The torso plate is pretty flat no matter which way you look at it. Seems pretty straightforward how that hatch just kinda Angler Fish opens and badda-bing, badda-boom, torso shot is probably a pilot kill. I know this ain't your design, this is a commission, but where design aspects are running a little flat, the shading is top-notch and the color choice was wise. I kinda wish the whole mech matched the OD green found on the gun. Them Zekes had it right with the military drabs, but hey, a broken clock is right twice a day :P

Great job!
