RootPain's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[M-me...???]

This one is a lil' old, but I still really dig this
She's pretty cute.

Nabella responds:

God help us, it's been three years already.

[NGSS: Mantis for Marby!]

I think this is the first time I've seen you draw a character with some bigger proportions, and I gotta say, this looks really good. Might be one of my faves from you thus far. Pretty good.

Bleak-Creep responds:

Thanks! One of the hardest parts for me was trying to keep the composition from feeling way too vertical caus she’s just so tall.

[The Cevita Christmas Special]

Real good. I always love to see your characters.
Merry christmas!

raflcoopter responds:

Merry Christmas! (And thank you!)

[SECRET LEVEL]

I'm so glad to see another post from you. I'm always happy to see something new from you.

Looking good, like always.

SaturnSerkel responds:

Tysm june, its been a couple of rough months, I hope I can post more drawings soon!

[As A Matter Of Fact...]

I've kept up with your works for a while now, and looking back to where you first started (or at least when I first found your art) it's legitimately insane to see how much you've improved in pretty much EVERY aspect of your artworks

Your character, Orla has always been one of my favorites, and seeing how much she evolved and transformed alongside your artstyle has been quite wild

You really nailed this whole sketchy/paper-like feel to your art, and you've gotten so crazy with your colors and enviroments. I can really see that there's quite a lot of attention to detail and small bits of personality scattered around your pieces. It's actually quite stunning.

Like always, you're killing it.
And hey, you can't ever go wrong with Orla.

AntonM responds:

Thank you so much, that's very kind of you :') It's honestly pretty hard to tell if I've improved or not sometimes so I'm glad to hear you think I have!!

[Kaiju Root]

I love Root. She's cool. Too bad I fucking hate that stupid gay lizard... thing.
But she's nice, I like her. I also use the name Root every so often, but I'm not biased at all.

StaggerNight responds:

you are DUMB but thats okay I like you too and that gay lizard. #selflove

[The Cult Classic Date And Die Sim]

I love these kind of low quality covers/title screens. It reminds me of Hotline Miami 2 VHS covers.

Esperance responds:

Thank ya (^-^)

Its fun to do every once in a while, like an old screenshot someone found on a computer but no memory of playing it

[[HILDA & HAZEL]]

I forgot to comment on this piece, but I genuinely dig your designs.
They're very simple, but they're really cute.

Same goes for your artstyle. It's very cartoonish and simple, but it does what it does very effectively, and the results are very pleasing.

Your stuff in general is just really good. I REALLY dig it.
I hope to see more from your characters.

PaleNG responds:

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the positivity, gave you a follow, I'll be sure to keep the art coming!

[Even Small Moments Forgotten Change Today]

This piece is a lot more simpler compared to the other ones, but I still find myself feeling very fond over it. I don't know why, but I just dig the girl in this piece. She's real cute.

I'm excited to see the comics you're making. And hopefully more gals too.

Esperance responds:

Thank ya (^-^)/

This one was an experiment to emulate some 60s anime feelings so I adjusted detail to accommodate the production scale

Glad ya like it!

[Never Know Next Happening]

I found your profile through the Tuesday Takeover, and immediately I was already captivated by your art.

I genuinely love the mixture of horror and cutesy you have. The black and white, horror vibe, coupled with some cute girls checks all of the right marks for me. It's kinda cool how you also seemingly give some of your pieces a "low quality/compressed" feel to them, it genuinely makes it seem like they're something you'd see around the 2010's.

Genuinely incredible stuff, I want to see more from you. Badly.
I put your art on the frontpage suggestion, your works genuinely kick so much ass.

Esperance responds:

Why thank ya kindly that made my day
( ￣▽￣)

I love trying to have that feeling of half forgotten memories or dreams, or an old screenshot or a crusty image in a magazine you found in the back of a closet

Ive got some more comics upcoming so look forward to that!
