MetalDoom's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ultraverse Amalgam Poster]

Just as before, I feel Hivemind is my fave for sure. The pose is simple, but still manages to say so much about the character with only a slight head tilt

HeartisttheArtist responds:

You’re not alone in that—Hivemind seems to be the breakout star of these Amalgam designs! I’m so glad you pointed out the head tilt in particular, that was something I included with big intention. It helps to make him feel more detached and inhuman, like when Michael Myers does it. Thrilled that you caught it!

I'm not even a huge X-fan or anything, but I'm seriously really digging your recent X-Men images. I really like the sheer variety of styles you got going on with them and they're all super charming.

dum-dum responds:

thank you!!

[Coach z’s bad spending]

This really explains why he's got money, but not much.

[The 86th Daffy-versary]

Unintentional or not, it's nice how all the major eras of the character were covered here. You really got all their varying attitudes down too. Really slick work here.

[Similar Fates]

This seriously goes so hard, I dig that unique ninja design for human Cyrax. Happy to see Deception alternate costume Smoke too, it's a severely underrated design and you made it look super cool here.

[Ultraverse Amalgams]

Great designs across the board here, Hivemind and Strangefate stand out the most to me here. Hivemind in particular is a very cool looking amalgamation that takes the most distinct elements of each character and mashes them together in a way that just feels right.

I'll echo the sentiment that Deadeye leans a bit too closely towards Deathstroke, but I really feel you were on the right track with the idea of the bullseye being over his one eye. The way it's done here is a touch too subtle and hard to notice at first glance. I think that maybe a set of thick concentric black circles radiating out from the eye of the helmet itself that then fade into the black half of the helmet would look really striking if done right. Maybe that's just an idea that sounds better in my head, though.

Overall, though, I still really like what you did here and it'd be cool to see you do more if ya want.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Good to know that these work, especially those two! Hivemind seems to be the breakout hit, which I’m pretty pleased about.

You and the others who’ve raised these points are right—should I ever draw him again, I’ll implement more of Bullseye in the design. Pushing the eye detail is a great idea!

I’m glad you like these so much, I hope to make more art in this vein again soon.

[Myers’ fine art]

This is what Michael was learning to do in his ugly little sewer home for those four years between Kills and Ends.

[The Invisible Man]

The framing here is fantastic, the way it almost looks like he's clutching the moon itself. The green lighting is also just sublime. Really good stuff here.

[HAPPY HALLOWEEN]

This is so cool looking, it almost feels like something you'd see on those old Halloween greeting cards, but with a bit of a morbid bent.
