CrimsonKero's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[wlh 01/01/24]

And not even a good election year. Mostly a rehash of the one 4 years ago, only we got to know everyone a little more.

[Yoshi The-Dinosaur!]

Aww, so cute. Just enough magic to make me want to squash and squish the little guy.

[Questions+⁶]

Question for Nernie:

How do you feel having your name misspelled?

TheShokBlok responds:

Idk, I tried to ask her but she just keeps singing and dancing without paying me any attention (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)

[No Sole-iciting]

Wait a minute: Shopkeeper shoved the shoe there, he broke them. Cough it up!

[Lava lamp placed.]

number 2

[Socks enabled.]

The table.

IDK if these votes are worth more over on Twitter, Reddit or whatever other platforms you use, since there’s generally less active viewers on Newgrounds.

[SWAGASS BANGER BANNER]

I like this. I like this a little bit more.
Love the lighting + colours. Except it's autumn right now (or spring if you're in the south).

[Street Fighter 6 GBC version]

Fun fact: The Game Boy Color can normally only display 56 colours at once (8 palettes of 4 for tiles and 8 palettes of 3 for sprites), out of a possible 32,768.

Some GBC games had special code in them that changed those palettes mid-frame, theoretically increasing its limits to ~4,000.
Examples: Alone in the Dark, Cannon Fodder (FMV section), the unrealeased Tyrannosaurus Tex (outside of gameplay), as explained here:

Even without this hack, you still did a very fine job adhering to actual graphical limitations. Maybe not so much with some sprites, such as the dumbbells in the last panel, or Chun Li's sprite in the fourth panel (though this could be multiple sprites layered on top of each other).

[Rearmed: MegaSketcher]

Am I the only one here who understands this? Those 4 stamp things always get lost.

[Smokin' & Sleepin']

Story: Very simple. Nothing to write home about

Art: Massive dealbreaker. Looks like an old case of ‘objectshowitis’. Each character is a geometric shape with crude face and stick limbs, and quick lines for eyes. Drawing from life can definitely help, even if you still aim to keep things cartoony.

Final verdict: You have a very powerful animation tool on your hands, Adobe Flash. People used to make TV shows with this, before Toon Boom anyway. There’s practically a massive potential to be had with this software. Can’t wait what you’ll end up with in 3 years.
