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.

[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

[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

[EMOZ IN UR AREA]

I like their looks and the pose! In regards to what they're listening to... don't know, I don't know what counts as emo music.
Perhaps Massive Ego.

What's the story to these characters, if it's alright to ask?

ihaships773 responds:

i'll have to check that band out !!

tbh a lot of my characters don't have stories,, theyre mostly one offs that dont really show up again.

if i had to say anything tho, theyre probably just dumb young lovers who like to smash things up and mosh together at concerts

[incubus rockstar]

Apologies if you find this rude, since my statement will be comparative and i know some people don't like that, but i'd like to ask:
where you inspired by games such as Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile by any chance?

And yes, the pant design, does look quite cool.

ihaships773 responds:

ding ding ding !! i loveeee charlie murder !!

[Lucy headshots]

Character looks very cool, and nice art style. Sweet work.

Wydnexa responds:

Thanks!

[Tyrant of the Moon]

Eeeeeet's GIbbbyyyyyyyyyy
Awesome art piece. I haven't properly played Hylics but I can imagine Gubby having this hang somewhere in his residence as a monument to himself.

CianetoNeon responds:

Many thanks friend!
He probably 'comissioned' some artist to make it for him, gotta look as cool as possible for the passing janitor

[not your fucking puppet]

It's time to cut the strings. Very nasty. I hope that she'll be able to get those hooks out of her.
That is easier said than done in horror tales, especially aftear reading on your main page how your comic will turn out. But still.
If she's of the right strength of mind after getting out of this situation, perhaps she can turn her proverbial shackles as a trophy. A reminder of where she was stuck where she is now, and do something artistic and more meaningful with them. Like using the strings for a music instrument.

Came here after your reply on the art styles thread. Quite sick (in the good way, like a skater dude giving a compliment) and very striking art. I'll be sure to have more of a look around.
I thought this was a bunny at first but then i saw in your description that this character's part nudibranch. Really neat to see different animals than the usual being used for the designs of characters.

slugjuicedotcom responds:

a lot of people think my fursona's a bunny, haha. even with the big ol' slug tail!
