MetalDoom's art Reviews on Newgrounds

Great image, but you forgot the Ides of March!

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!

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

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.

[SPIDER-MAN]

The colors are so pretty here. The way that red contrasts against the green cityscape background and the way the yellow eyes just pop is so striking.

Skiptoons responds:

Thank you!

[Wade]

Really love the perspective you've got going here, so dynamic. I could totally tell you referenced Ed McGuinness' art even from the thumbnail, but you really made it your own take on a '90s style Deadpool at the same time. Great stuff all around here.

TotallyNotNathan responds:

Hey, thank you, and good eye dude.

Aww, man, I knew Firefly would look cool as hell in your art style but you went above and beyond here. Love the pose chosen, he just looks like he's planning his next bombing with that sinister intent in his eyes. If you ever want to get started on GI Joe, I'd recommend the original Marvel Comics run by Larry Hama. It's much better than you'd think a licensed comic would be. GI Joe Resolute is another great place for beginners. Thanks for taking my request all the same, man.

Outside of him, Tifa might be my favorite of the lot here. There's some major character bias for that, but I feel like you really captured her general attitude quite well here. She also just looks so dang pretty in your style. I'm not much of a RPG guy myself, but I did love FF7 a lot when I played it. The modern ports having fast forward and the ability to turn off random encounters at a whim helped a lot. You can even instantly super buff your party if you just want to experience the story or find yourself trapped in a nigh unwinnable battle like a cornered rat.

Really, I just like this piece in general. Really cool way to celebrate 555 fans.

HeartisttheArtist responds:

Aw, you flatter me! I’m glad to hear that I captured a sinister intent, it seemed right based on my impression of him. I’ll have to look into both of those for sure. And thanks for submitting a request in the first place!

Interesting to know, Tifa was probably the one that took me the longest to draw. That also made her one of the most satisfying to finish—especially with feedback like that! I’m also glad to hear that you enjoyed FF7, makes me wonder if I should actually try it at some point lol

Happy to hear that! I wanted it to feel special, and I hope that shows!

Ghostface tripping every 5 minutes is normal, wearing heels or not.

MetaGrif responds:

Very true XD But prolly needs to stop longer to put the heels back on.

[Specter in chair (evil-ly)]

yessss, love to see such good art for this smug evil monkey. great work!

DieChance responds:

Tysm!!! Super happy you like it, and thanks a ton for the kind words :D
