NekoMika's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Apple Magician Girl]

The posture and shading is pretty nice. I assume the light scribbles in the background are from previous layers and the such?

Also, wasn't there a deck archtype revolving around the Dark Magician Girl and her variations?

bocodamondo responds:

yeah it is, i thought it would look neat ^^

yeah there is a magician girls only deck, but its not meta worth or anything.

i like the version about keeping the girls on the field while blocking the opponent from using spells via Secret Village of the Spellcasters

[Niu's coffee~THANK YOU ♡]

I wonder what flavor the coffee is. Also, it is nice to see far along your art has come and how much you have improved over time. :D

Niu looks so happy to have her cup of coffee, awww. <3

AlecsHere responds:

Thank you very much Neko :D Well is a hot coffee with milk and she is very happy to have it :3

[Vivian]

Such a wonderful piece. She was one of my favorite characters in The Thousand Year Door too. Time to get spooky indeed for Halloween.

FuShark responds:

Thanks! Really enjoyed working on this piece.

[It's-A-Him... Green Mario!]

Luigi looks like he is done living in everyone else's shadow and ready to stand out on his own. I like the minimal use of colors here, really shows how pissed he has gotten here.

Saultoons responds:

Yeah just went for a value paint here, think it makes him look a bit more sinister!

[Isabelle Turns Over a New Leaf]

Not bad for a starting gif.

The only things I would change is making the gif a few frames longer and having the background be shorter so it can be going in one direction rather than going left to right.

For such a huge gif file, the quality is pretty damn good with very little drop in quality.

Overall, looks awesome, looking forward to more. :)

Techycutie responds:

Thank you so much for your advice! I hope going forward I can improve more and more.

[Cirno]

I wonder how many frogs she ended up freezing for her holiday. :o

Your art style seems pretty distinct and she looks like she's ready to party and finally become immortal, hopefully. She's totally the strongest you know?

InfestedPear responds:

The strongest AND immortal? Dear god.

[Chao]

Oh my goodness, the chao look so happy! I could see this as a wallpaper or poster, the design is great. :D

9Hammer responds:

I thank you and I'm glad that you enjoy the piece! I'll definitely consider doing these as prints later on.

[Sketchtember 06]

Their design looks so awesome! The peacock feathers and hairstyle make them seem like they would not be too out of place in an anime, :D

Sony-Shock responds:

It's a pretty anime design, isn't it? And my huge eyed style helps, I bet *laughs*

[Elora]

Her redesign looks awesome, makes me want to play Spyro again too.

As for this piece of art, almost looks like promotional poster work, seems like something I could see them putting out as a poster to go with the game. Shading and colors look super soft and makes it seem like the sunshine is directly above Elora.

Overall, amazing art, any plans to maybe do an overall Spyro main characters piece sometime or nah?

SpecterWhite responds:

Thanks!
I kinda tried to use the reignited design taking my own spin on it.
I was thinking about doing more characters from the series separately but will see.
Professor or Ripto from 2nd (don't know if i'd do Hunter), maybe one of the side characters, or Bianca from 3rd I guess. Spyro himself I did in 2016, so I kind of didn't feel the need to draw him again, as opposed to Elora who I like but didn't draw before.
My first idea before I did this was to do a group thing with the cast from 2nd one, but well I don't usually manage well with bigger groups of characters so I scrapped that.

[Princess Peach]

She looks happy to be enjoying a day at the beach and just being able to relax for once. I like how the light shines down at an angle to where the water's color does not need to be changed too much either. Keep making wonderful art. :D

DidiEsmeralda responds:

Thanks NekoMika, I'm glad your comment is very motivating.
