Codefreq's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[SNAKEMAN!]

Neat retro filter idea. When I zoom out considerably, the look kind of blends the colors and shapes in a neat way, like how when a SNES game is played on a CRT TV the sprites look different, and in some cases better, than on a flatscreen TV. I wonder if making the filter grid a bit finer would be better, as when I zoom out the image becomes so small it's hard to make out what's happening.

Overall, I like it a lot! :)

[Study | La Scapigliata]

Nice! The brush strokes and monochrome approach to color make this look like a piece from the time to me, almost like it could’ve been found on an old piece of parchment paper from several centuries ago.

He’s got a face like a fist; if I punched him it’d be a fist bump

[Mizore and Jessabell - Jolly(?) Cooperation]

In terms of Mizore: the color scheme, the hair, some of the clothing design, and the sci-fi look of that case she is carrying has hints of Quorra from Tron Legacy.

Don't know if you've seen that movie but I have and I like it. Kind of a neat twist on her design. :)

SketchMeNot responds:

Aww thank you so much! Haven't seen Tron Legacy, but looking at Quorra, I definitely see a resemblance! How funny!

It was fun working on this piece and drawing Mizore in a more cyberpunk-inspired getup! (^w^)

[COOOKIIIEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!]

I'd love to see a similarly themed follow-up based on Bert & Ernie.

"Bert: Ernie, how do I look?

Ernie: With your eyes, Bert..."

[Shōjo Tsubaki: Midori - A Most Unfortunate Flower]

I like this drawing a lot!

She looks like Mizore Ito to the point where I mistook this drawing of Midori for her.

It's like if Mizore wore a colorful outfit and was possessed by a demon intending to draw you close to her before something terrible happens.

SketchMeNot responds:

Aww thanks so much man! Glad you like it! (>w<)

Haha, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone mentioned her looking like my girl Mizore hahaha xD

I realized as I was drawing Midori that she looks a lot like Mizore, and that makes a lot of sense because Midori was one of my biggest artistic inspirations for Mizore's design, particularly with the short black bob haircut, worried expression, and lipstick x)

[would you... party with him?]

This version of that creature is kind of cute up close but scary at a distance (i.e. the thumbnail image).

[Love-Bot character sheet!]

Tom Fulp should make this cannon.

[I'm-a Number One]

Great game! If classic Wario looked like this, I’d buy multiple copies.

Nice to see a Wario World reference. That game doesn’t get enough love and attention.

Nice! Reminds me of the guy from Jet Grind Radio. :)
