JurTheOrc's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scatterbrain Sketchpage]

I came across your account from the "Give me your OCs thread". I like the style here, very nice coloring/texturing and the wavy line in the hair which remind me of an umbrella or sea creature are neat too.
Werer the horizontal black and white stripes a deliberate choice to invoke a jailbird costume?
Also, what the fup was she sentenced for and how did sho get out of the chair?

Also also: With her spines i can imagine her rolling up and someone using her as a bladed chakram, or tying her to a rope and using her as a flying guillotine.
(Old martial arts movie, the Flying Guillotine itself is a ring on a rope with blades on the inside)

Skelleste responds:

Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear my characters had an appeal to a passing stranger.

Scott (the blue guy with the chain) was made first, and I gave him stripes to imply criminal undertones. Everyone else of his species, Scatterbrain included, was made by making bootleg versions of him. If you like drawing something, then just make more of it. So they all kind of have that going on, but you're right in guessing that it was pushed very intentionally on Scatterbrain. She has the most obvious prisoner stripes because crime is more central to her motives. Everyone else has vices or personal problems that incidentally lead to breaking the law, whereas she does it with purpose.

As for her sentence, that's a project for the future to tell as a short story. Maybe as a break between chapters. But the gag is that she wasn't a criminal at all in the beginning, and got mixed in with a bunch of prisoners doing some kind of work along a road in striped outfits. It's as silly and straightforward as that.

I often do think about how their spines probably suck to slip past your skin. Thank you for dropping that movie reference, writing it down because she is French and that title alone makes it 10x funnier to spin her around in a circle at breakneck speed.

[MINT CHEN]

It's been a long time since I last looked at yoor art and i'm glad to see youo still going-- and the stuff you make keeps on being *sick*. Good gosh, your skills are enviable. From the patterns and texturing on the coat and hat to the general shading and the background, there's so much skill and detailing that goes into it.

Hope you are well and I *wish* you well!

[Fishie]

A big manglerfish character, *foopin' awesome*

I meant anglerfish, but i'm not correcting this typo for i feel there is nothing to correct.

[Character origins]

Thank you for telling of these origins to your characters. It's interesting to read of how they started, developed and where you might want to take them.
Wouldn't say that Ams and and Ems are like God and Devil, that'd imply one is wholly good and the other's wholly evil.
I get the feeling they'rem ore two sides of the same coin that have their own presence, their own strengths and weaknesses and ways in which they could act or react in a given situation.

I remember when we talked some weeks agou about the opposite of someone's characters where you said something about Kinbari's uncaringness towards herself and others alike. Seems like out of these four, that character is on your mind the most with possible stories or things to discover.

The idea for Boxanne's head and the powers made me think a bit of Rayman 3 with the power washing detergents that could transform anyone's clothing into combat fatigues for a short while. I like the best ending idea too.
Time constraints aside, i hope making that game was fun and interesting for you.

Fair on keeping Nora simple and quite smart on having any situation she could be in, be part of a movie.

[Bitter Zest Returns Again?!?]

Couldst thou tell me more about this character? Came here by chance and got intrigued through the style.

BigA7071 responds:

She's a vampire that likes causing trouble

[Fem 2.0!]

Read it all through. You seem to wear your heart on your sleeve and be very open with your history, problems/struggles and how your characters are inspired by aspects of yourself, while also wanting to be critical of yourself and be open to grow. Those are good things. Be able to look back, and be open for learning and taking a look at oneself.

Stuff like that seems like sensitive information, so do be very careful on the internet with stuff like this. You never know who may be on the other side of the screen and what intent they may have.
Fem's spike skin seems like a cool way of protecting oneself within that world, quite violent too. Let's hope that worse things can be prevented outright. For Fem, you yourself in this world, and others.

You seem quite young and still trying to figure certain things out on some fronts. And where it concerns intimacy, sensuality and sexuality there's a whole lot that can have an impact, be they what it said and done around you or said straight to you.
Don't want to be a doomthinker either. Be sure to use common sense, but have fun too. J
udging by the fact you're already on NG for a little bit, you seem to know your way around fairly well.

From a stranger on the internet: wish you good luck on your journeys with healthy growth, strength, wisdom and luck where needed, and hope you can share and receive good things alike.
And my apologies if this overbearing comment is weird or annoying.
'Ave a good one. *backflips out the window into the night sky*

[Binej Fink]

Gosh dang, that's fupping gnarly.

[GOOSE]

Ah, nice, the raspberry pudding has been sliced.

ihaships773 responds:

more like my ex :)

[Ahab Thatch, the sky guards captain]

Oh man this guy looks cool! Sweet beard, you don't often see that on elf-like figures. (makes me think a bit of the Jak & Daxter series). The man is clearly strong too and I find it interesting how his epaulettes are pieces of fur with spikes.
Those goggles are sick, too.

I only discovered you just know, and as such i do not know what stories you may be planning or what characters you have alluded to in the past-- but i'll check your gallery out at once.
In the meantime, The Monster Breeder looks neat. Love me some good monsters.

SanyaUmbra responds:

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. Yes, on monday I usually do this character that are all in the same setting. If I have to be honest, I'd like to draw or write something about them, but right now I lack the time to do so. Nontheless I did some quick comics of world building, the "interactive comic" you'll see in my gallery. I know that they lack the quality of the rest of the illustration, but I did them in two days.
Anyhow I hope to see you again on the next posts, and thank you again for the comment!
And yeah, he's a bit Jack and Dexter like.

[thurible slap]

Oh cool, a monster in line with those of medieval scriptures! Those could get *weird* and fascinating.
Thanks to Blasphemous 2 I know what a thurible is. The priest has style, using that for a weapon. In the words of The Mask: SSSMOKIN'

LucisDoom responds:

Yes, thanks!!! I love those things, medieval scripts are my center of interest atm and I wanted to implement those demon designs into a story that I'm making!
Thuribles to me have immaculate potential to become improvised weapons in an unexpected attack 😁 heavy swingy things always are cool in combat
