Galneda's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Ironman (COLORED)]

This looks like it was inked on hand onto tangible paper, but I see nothing that gives away the coloring process.

What was the process behind making this piece from the ground up? How much of it is digital, and how much is it physical, because at the moment, it looks like legit comic book illustration.

Discovered your entire profile with that badass flamejob F-15 getting featured on the front page, and I've just been in awe looking at the rest of your portfolio. Had to stop and say something out of curiosity on this one.

Dafteeeer responds:

I'm glad you've liked my work! Thank you!!

Everything I draw or do about art is completely hand-drawn/made. I draw this one (as well as all my drawings) from scratch. I used 0.5mm and 0.05mm sharpies and more sharpies to blackened it...

This colored version is just a copie of the original one (black&white), I just print it and color it with more sharpies ;)

And exactly thats my porpouse! To make it look as good as a legit comic book stuff

['WE CAN'T HELP HIM']

This made me realize, GenoSamuel's been taking a break for so long that I almost forgot about Chris Chan and what they're up to these days. Feels good to not be up to date anymore, but I checked out of curiosity.

According to the CWCkipedia, she's got a girlfriend now, apparently. Sightings are rare, but when people see her, she's with this super short girl who looks like a kid but is actually apparently in her 30's, and they're hanging out a lot. They aren't posting insane shit anymore, so I guess it's working.

Anyway, good for them- I hope they can live the rest of their lives in privacy.

Erebboi responds:

My theory is that she's wrangling him in whatever way, but hope that I'm wrong

[Get lost, Loser!]

Iconic rival, that I wish they did more with.

As a kid, right around when webcomics seemed to be at their peak, I had written a fancomic where Mega Man and Bass teamed up to stop an unhinged Dr. Wily plot, and it pretty much lead up to the cataclysm that kicked off events that started Mega Man X.

I was diving into everything Bass & Treble I could get my hands on, and I remember being so upset that there was so little content on him. He was just so cool to me. This art captures him and his robocanine perfectly.

A fun one to do would be their fusion, where he's black and purple with giant mech wings!

DreamsBellArt responds:

Thanks for the compliment!
And I totally agree, he didn't get enough of the spotlight or a complete story.
I did consider drawing his fusion as well! I will see if I have the energy to do so in the future maybe

[SIN ROOM!]

Quality! Outstanding detail, and I love the idea, lmao

DeathRayGraphics responds:

Thanks! I considered creating a whole comic book based on this.

[An Impeccable Sadness]

I resonate with this. I've been there, even at that age of 19. This piece of art is complete, because the incompletion is a part of this.

When I sketched stuff out like this, I would quickly delete it, because I gave power to what I thought people's impression of me would become my reputation.

My advice to you, as a 35 year old man, as a fellow neurotic artist that dips and dives in and out of depression- my advice as it pertains to this art piece, is never delete this submission.

You will grow as an artist, as a person, as a romantic, everything will change. This website will change. You may go away and return years later to rediscover this piece.

And you'll look upon it with wiser eyes. You'll look at this face that you've drawn with a soul that remembers exactly where you were when you drew it. You'll remember that spaghetti, and the environment you were in where you ate it. You'll remember the ceiling or wall that you stared at as you tried and failed to sleep.

And you'll smile. Because this is a marker that you can measure for your own growth. You'll smile because it got better.

That need for connection is human. It's only a matter of time that someone recognizes that you have a lot of love to give, and it'll click into place when Real Recognizes Real.

A newfound meaning to pick up, when I say goodbye by saying "Keep it real."

Keep creating. Step away and reset every once and a while, kick your feet by walking around the block.

And if you don't feel like doing that, and you wanna chat, my inbox is open at any time. Feel free to message me, man.

TheBestBroster responds:

Hey, I really appreciate your thoughtful comment. :)

And don't worry, I had no plans on deleting this. I want to share myself with the world genuinely as a human being, not just my highlight reel.

And I do like what you said about the possibility of looking at this years from now. I like the idea of being 30 or so, and coming back to look at this as a wiser, more mature person, and being thankful I did not give up.

You saying it is only a matter of time is also incredibly comforting to hear, thank you. :)

[Bari-Arm]

That's my kinda mech design! Hell yeah! Looking great!

DANMAKUMAN responds:

Thank you!

[Jani dressed]

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

Catinyt responds:

Thank you!! x)

[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!

[Tebu (Mocobandit)]

After she rolled her ankle in the ring, she just kept eating while she healed. Eventually tying her shoelaces became too strenuous and one day she just hung up the boxing gloves and never put them back on.

Years of overeating and underexercising tipped the balance of her health equilibrium so far to one side that all of her organs became strained. Atop of regular accidental injuries while performing mundane daily tasks, her respiratory issues came with cardiac issues. Digestive problems evolved into diabetes, and then her kidneys started to falter.

One day during a routine dialysis appointment, she tried to think about when did it take such a dramatic turn, because she had vivid memories of being active and in-shape. All she could remember was a photoshoot with cake; a timelapse project with a Cardbordtoaster.

She languished with her obesity for the rest of her short life.

"The brightest stars burn the quickest" was engraved on her urn, where her boxing gloves were delicately mounted.

Cardbordtoaster responds:

"You can now play as Luigi!"
