MetalDoom's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[OC Character Sheet: The Mistress]

Really like this design, especially the way the cloak folds under the collar of the jacket. It just sticks out to me as a nice splash of color when she's completely covered. Really interesting backstory too, love the idea of her almost being this sort of living myth.

You add that Dracula sword on top of that, along with the implications that go with it, and you end up with one really intriguing character. Great stuff as always!

HeartisttheArtist responds:

The cloak was a difficult thing to get right—as she opens and removes it, her primary color goes from black to red. Having the red collar over the cape felt like hinting at the costume underneath. The cape hiding her body and making her seem almost formless also helps give her an almost inhuman vibe, befitting of such a mysterious figure.

Finally getting to capitalize on my ideas for the sword was such a treat! I’m really excited to develop it further and share it as time goes on.

CAPTAIN METAL MY BELOVED, YOU RENDERED HIM SO WELL

KajaG responds:

Thanks man, glad you're digging it!

[Jack Downer]

The pie shields...

This is such a perfect combo, actually. I don't know whether to call you mad or a genius for thinking up such a thing.

TheArtofSilent responds:

Maybe both?

[Turtles]

This is incredible, wow. Some real crazy dynamic framing you got going on here. Love the expressions too! They all feel perfectly suited for each character.

Also, my favorite turtle has gotta be Mikey.

EricRedd responds:

Thanks so much for the kind words
AND A MIKEY FAN YOU A REAL ONE MY FRIEND!!!

[Across the Spider-Verse]

Wasn't a huge fan of this costume change either, but WOW you made it look striking! The reds really pop against the black and the way the stripes emphasize the silhouette just too cool.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

I think getting to see it in motion made it more appealing, at least for me. I'm glad I was able to make it pop!

[never missed a day in my life... *sniff*]

Great image, but you forgot the Ides of March!

[Heartist February 2023]

I like how Metal Sonic has a bit of battle damage. The cracked eye screen and mouth plate just looks cool. Inherently, my obvious Metal Sonic bias makes me want to say that's my favorite here, but I think Doctor Doom wins out. The way you shaded the metal just looks so shiny and pristine. It's really nicely done.

Beyond those two, I really dig that Mr. Freeze design. The way it incorporates the hard shadowed Batman Beyond styled face is just the icing on-top. Just realized what I typed there and I think I'll stop before I go on a full Ahnuld style ice pun blizzard-- DAMMIT.

Seriously, though, great selection of drawings here.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Giving Metal some battle damage helped to further the sense of badass that I feel the character should always be accompanied with. But Doctor Doom needs no help with that! This drawing of him actually came from me practicing rendering metal and fabric, so his armor getting so many compliments makes it all worth it!

Hey, chill out, my guy. No need to get so heated over a couple ice puns, intentional or otherwise. That aside, Mr. Freeze has tons of cool designs to draw from—but the Batman Beyond style shading on the face was a must-have for me. Icing on the cake, if you will.

Thanks so much, bro!

THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL, BABY

KnightLineArt responds:

"Surprised Shocker? I....AM....INVINCIBLE!"

[Lina!]

Yessss, Lina my favorite little gremlin. The first image is great, but that second sketch is what sends this over the edge for me.

BentSteam responds:

a ragin demon

[Raphael]

Love the early Mirage vibes this is going for. The art in those issues is so raw in the absolute best way possible and you captured that look quite well.

WonderWaffle93 responds:

Hell yeah that means a ton, I love the entire Mirage run.
