Codefreq's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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^)

[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)

[Psychedelic Mindspace]

How is the average rating for this so low?? I’m not under the influence and even the still thumbnail alone (not the animated GIF) gives a cool illusion of movement.

Not easy to do. Great work! :)

OrangeWedge responds:

Thank you!
I don't mind the rating being so low, as this is not the most popullar type of content for newgrounds.
As you can see, while still being a happy and active supporter, I haven't posted here sine 2018.

[Juri - Moment of Rest]

Getting some serious “Spirited Away” vibes here. Good job. :)

SketchMeNot responds:

Ah! Funny you mention that! I actually listened to the Spirited Away OST a bit while working on this, along with Nujabes/Samurai Champloo tracks! (^w^)

Thank you so much! Glad you like the piece!

[Mizore Ito (Misery-chan) - Summer Breeze]

Beautifully drawn! :) Really neat to see Mizore-chan come out of her shell and wear brighter clothes, kinda like her flowery kimono outfits. Are brighter outfits like this canon for Mizore-chan or is this simply an answer to a question like, “what of she wore this”?

SketchMeNot responds:

Ahhh! Thank you so much!! (>w<) Hehe, right? It's super fun to draw her in these different outfits, and this one in particular! She's not entirely opposed to wearing brighter clothing, she just ends up wearing darker clothing more often than not hehe. She does still often wear white or pale colored clothing, so this swimsuit ensemble would totally be canon! (^w^)

[Headache]

No idea what your intent was here but I imagine it’s like a hellish representation of the effect of day after day of sameness and being stuck at a boring and nondescript 9-5pm job that really sucks your soul out of you.

Makes me think, and I have respect for that.

Edit: I hadn’t seen that video until you just sent me the link. I see what you mean. Interesting.

nashotobi responds:

something like that. Have you seen Meg Myers - Numb music video? also great visualization of being overwhelmed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORaln6aPqUk

[Resident evil 4, puzzle]

I love the big-headed redesigns, they remind me of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game.

Does this variation on Tetris actually exist?

omegachainoboy responds:

nope, is just a mockup, sorry and thank you

[Mill Scout Island]

I clicked on this because I remember you were one of the most inspiring visual artists for several members of 2021’s AIM contest. So glad you’re still at it, you’ve got quite a talent. :)

This one reminds me of that windmill from that Gorillaz song. Was Feel Good Inc. any inspiration?

Kamikaye responds:

Thx a lot ! I always enjoy AIM and providing my art for it and all the YT/album stuff there and listening to all the songs ! It's a great initiative here on NG.

Yea Feel Good Inc is definetly a great inspiration :)

[Pico and Friends Holiday Dance]

It’s cute but it almost hurts my knees just looking at it.

SloppyStinko responds:

Lol understandable, thanks!

[Mizore Ito (Misery-chan) - Holiday Spirits]

Glad to see you’re still at it with creating art involving this character. :)

SketchMeNot responds:

Oh yes! She's my precious child, so I'll never stop drawing her hehe (>w<)
