RootPain's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mechana and Milly comic]

Every time you post more Fading Club related art I have this huge urge to show my teeth (smile)

TheGlitchBerserk responds:

Aw that's nice to hear! Thank you a lot, very appreciated!

[Theres Always Guides For A Tour At Midnight]

Man, I love your illustrations.
I said this before, but I'll say it again; your balance between cute and creepy, and how you always make your images look like something that came from 2010 hits all the right spots for me.

Very good, like always!

Esperance responds:

Thank ya kindly (*´∀｀*)

[Deep within, is it still really you?]

More Psychopomp art from you...
Life is good again.

K3ssi3 responds:

Gotta keep the pomp agenda

[zona.plankton - update #17]

RootPain.com is also going to receive a massive overhaul soon. I hope you like it when it comes out!

I should've commented on this earlier, but honest to god, not only you're insane as an artist, but you're also cracked when it comes to creating characters

Deadass, all of the girls you make are genuinely incredible, and this is genuinely the highest praise I can give to anyone when it comes to their characters and art. And it's not just a question of good design, it's very clear you give all of these characters unique, and distinct personalities, and it shows with every piece you make. Mildew being a personal favorite. I love how she's always looks perpetually tired and uninterested, but she still shows a lot of personality. It really compliments her design too. Having this kind of edgy character just enjoying something like trying to record a music video, or trying too hard to lift weights, it's sincerely so good. Every so often I come back to see the stuff you make, old stuff included, and I never get tired of it.

And what you do with colors and the scenarios is genuinely insane. I don't know how, but I love how you manage to make the colors both vibrant and faded/subtle. Your coloring and your ability to fill the canvas is genuinely incredible.

Overall, you always make some truly stunning stuff, and I LOVE the characters you make. The girls are my favorite, specially Mildew.

If I ever move out of Brazil (or at least manage to get a higher income), I'd kill to have a commission from you. I've became quite the fan lately, and it isn't for nothing.

Incredible stuff, like always.

OneGrumpyLumpy responds:

Thanks mann. That means a lot. I'm glad you like my stuff

[Complete immersion]

This looks absolutely stunning
The fact this wasn't featured on the frontpage when it first came out baffles me.

Geatm0s responds:

Thank you so-o-o much!)

[watakaisen]

I forgot to comment on this earlier, but I genuinely love how this looks! Very simple, but clean (like Kingdom Hearts), and I really like the alt you posted on Twitter.

Your art is always so crazy good. I like it. I like it a lot.

K3ssi3 responds:

Always so ncie to hear you back in the comments!, im still in the need to do like 2-3 more of these hahaha

[Rosa Pastel]

Não sei o que eu tenho com a sua arte, mas eu real sou apaixonado por ela, tanto como nos personagems quanto nos aspectos geral dela.

Eu adoro o jeito que você desenha os personagems, o jeito que você desenha rosto e expressoes é sinceramente tão bom, especialmente quando você desenha os personagems com uma expressão um pouco mais triste, ou quando eles realmente tão felizes. Eu lembro daquela arte que você fez das duas garotas juntas na praia dançando, e o jeito que você desenhou aquele momento ficou sinceramente tão bom.

Isso tambem é por conta das tuas cores. Eu real adoro a sua escolha de cores. Você sempre da quase todas as suas artes esse sentimento de melancolia por conta do jeito que você usa cores, e eu adoro o clima que elas dão pra sua arte.

E eu não sei como colocar isso em palavras, mas eu adoro o jeito que você desenha os corpos em si. Eu adoro quando as pessoas desenham os personagems com um fisico mais magro e "fraco", e o jeito que você desenha os corpos, o formato de tudo, especialmente na area do rosto é sinceramente tão perfeito.

E por final, eu adoro o jeito que você trabalha com a lineart. As vezes parece que tua lineart é meio tremida, mas de um jeito muito bem calculado e limpo, da uma vibe de um sketch bem limpo que eu adoro muito.

Sinceramente, é sempre muita felicidade ver um upload seu. Eu acho tua arte fantastica.
Real um dia espero conseguir fazer algo no seu nivel.

Edit: I assumed you were also from Brazil since you've had an art piece with some Portuguese lyrics in the background, my bad! And I'm glad you liked the comment. At times it can be quite hard for me to convey things properly, so I'm glad I got that right. I'm also really happy to see you responding to my lil' comment.

Meguman01 responds:

Man, I really do hope language barrier doesn’t work against me here oof.

Thank you so much for the kind comment, means a lot every now and then when I get stuff like this. Like ngl, i might need to print this one and frame it to my wall haha. I do love making bodies look a bit more imperfect than usual, I feel like it's a nice way of embracing our own imperfections which are intrinsically related with human nature.

That but also beyond shapes, when it comes to colors, composition, lines, and character expressions can be such powerful tools to convey emotions and feelings, as obvious as that might sound. I quite like they way you put it into words, my lineart is weird mix of cleanness and chaos, it's quite fun working like that.

and finally YEAH DUDE YOU CAN DO IT TOO. YOU JUST GOTTA BELIEVE!

[Vena stash 2]

I genuinely love your Venus art. Seeing a new post from you genuinely always makes me happy.

I also really dig how you always give her very animal-like facial features. Definitely makes your Venus fanart stand out a lot more.

Honestly, pretty great as always.

K3ssi3 responds:

People say she resembles a weird frog with the tiny nose i give her and thank you again, her being crazy rightdown bad schizo is a big pull to make her a bit unsettling but still look pretty

[Maniac embrace]

Man, I've been keeping with your Psychopomp art for a while now, and the stuff you do is sincerely amazing. I like how well you really capture the vibe of the game and these characters.

Please, keep pumping more art, and if possible, give DashBored a chance aswell.

K3ssi3 responds:

Thank you very much! this type of comments mean the world and i'll be sure to check DashBored out once i can afford it and play it!
