MetalDoom's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Heartist 800 Follower Special]

For someone who hasn't drawn them too often previously, you've really got a knack for drawing Goblins. Just a fantastic interpretation of ol' Kingsley (presumably). The expression is spot on, the pose is fantastic for how small his square is, and the slight design tweaks really make the design all your own. I definitely see some of Phil's iteration bleeding in here, especially with the ear holes and extra pouch on the belt. Nice touches. Outside of that, I am over the moon you chose Kamen Rider W as the wildcard character. Hell yeah. It was my first Rider show after a friend recommended it to me and it is just SO good. You captured W really well, super slick rendering.
Congrats on 800 followers, I'm sure you'll be at the next milestone sooner than you know it!

HeartisttheArtist responds:

You should know that you’re the reason I’m into Goblins in Spider-Man now; before we became friends, I actually didn’t think much of them and was more of a “Venom is Spider-Man’s true nemesis” type of guy. Through talking with you, I’ve grown much more of an appreciation for these weirdos. Especially Hobgoblin; you recommending me AXIS: Hobgoblin sealed the deal for me, and is where I drew most of my inspiration for this drawing of him—so it is meant to be Kingsley, albeit with some of Phil’s details mixed in (with my intent to make it a sort of “greatest hits” of Hobgoblin).
Dude, I cannot thank you enough for recommending W. It just had to be him when Kyo told me to go wild, this show is pure peak. Hell yeah.
Thanks so much, man! I’m looking forward to seeing you there—I wouldn’t be here without you!

[Green n’ Mean]

I was more than happy to provide some input as you developed this one. Not that you needed that much of it, you were already well on the right track. It's like you righted all the wrongs we had discussed about the Fortnite design. A true perfect balance between classic and modern. Great stuff.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

It was an honor and a pleasure working with you on it, and getting it closer and closer to what Green Goblin ‘should’ be. That perfect balance between modernization and staying true to the character. Can’t thank you enough!

On god you gotta sit down with some Kamen Rider W, brother.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Okay, if it's recommended by you, I NEED to watch it.

[Party POV]

I'm seriously in love with the way you draw Jenners. Got her looks and personality down to a science, man. I can only imagine the conversation she was having with Willow before this dipshit rolled up to the party.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

It’s always an honor to draw here, I’m glad that I can do it right for you! As for Willow, I imagine they’re probably talking about black t-shirts and grunge music.

[cheap shot]

This level of violence actually feels quite right considering the franchise's indie comics roots. Sick picture!

SamuraiKNOX responds:

yeah those old tmnt issues were pretty violent XD thank you for the rating Doom

[Overshadow Cover]

This has the same atmosphere as a cryptid photo, just without the picture clarity taking a huge hit for some not at all suspicious reason. Cool vibe!

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Ronin: Mysterious Myth, or Legendary Legend?

[Norman Osborn Collage]

I love this piece. Norman Osborn is one of my favorite characters as well, so seeing this tribute to him on here is a real treat. The dramatic lighting in each of these scenes is simple, yet so effective. My favorites have gotta be the Gwen Stacy and Gathering of Five panels. Love the story choices here, most of the big important ones are here and cutting it off around the end of the Dark Reign era was a smart choice. The only way it could be better is if it had a reference to Paul Jenkins' A Death in the Family since that's a personal fave, but I get that you can't include everything.
Fantastic work!

ShredGatto responds:

Love the Death in the Family story too, but yeah, the NES resolution I'm accustomed to can only fit so much in. As for cutting off at Dark Reign, I made that choice because, well, that's where the quote I'm using is from the 5-issue Osborn miniseries that I love by a lot. Definitely a must-read for all Osborn enjoyers. Also thank you for your kind words!

[Crystal Lake Creeps]

While Michael and Freddy are skulking around in the backwoods, Ghostface is also there. You just can't see them since they're currently drowning at the bottom of the lake. Seriously, though, love that background. Great, moody atmosphere captured. Happy to have helped with this, it came out fantastic.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Good thing they’ve got like, six spares. It’s Ghostface Galore out there!
All the same, I’m incredibly thankful for your help with this piece. Couldn’t have done it without you!

[Graduation]

Congrats on grads, huge accomplishment! May these next chapters of your life be just as fortuitous, if not even more so.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Thanks so much, my dude! Here's to many, many more.
