Applettuce's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[FULL metal ALCHEMIST]

Hiromu Arakawa really said, "I'm just gonna make a manga" and then proceeds to write a genre-defying masterpiece that still gets talked about today.

I really like the art, if you told me that this was a screenshot for the show or the movies, I'd believe it cuz it looks that authentic

[Galaxy Brawn]

This may be unintentional but I like how the cobra clutch could be a reference to Shesha, the primordial snake that holds the planets in its hoods

jouste responds:

whoah, that is really cool but totally unintentional. appreciate the cool info!

*highfives

[Pixel art Drev]

Pretty good attempt at pixel art, looks very sketchy.

[psycho streamer]

This man is like a Kpop boy for people who take Adderall

[Series of Emotions]

You somehow managed to not only capture the rancid essence of Annoying Orange but somehow amplify it to disgusting new heights. I'm genuinely impressed

[Joey Wheeler Creepy Chin - Screenshot Remaster]

YEAH 100% YOUAERE My Fuckign GIRL>FREIONGD

[EmoGi PS2 Cover]

Oh dude I remember this, such a long time ago, couldn't get pass the 👹 boss it was so tough.

The style was immaculate too, Suda51 and Hideki Kamiya both referenced it in interviews as inspiration and it shows

Did the studio make any more Emogi games? I kinda stopped following the franchise

LegendaryPanettone responds:

Yeah man, they've produced two mobile games, two more sequels for the consoles, an attempt at an edgy reboot for the xbox, and according to leaks, there will be a fifth game in the franchise coming to PS5, Xbox Series X and possibly PC and Nintendo Switch

[Janaína the Jester (dressed) 🃏]

I do like this design. It's very colourful and expressive, though the tights could have some less stripes IMO, with thicker lines because they kinda look like stretched leggings to me.

But I know jack shit about character design so feel free to ignore this

IkaroKruz responds:

Well originally those stripes are from thigh high socks, I just extended it to make it SFW LOL

And no problem, I'm not character design expert myself, I just do what I like to do haha

[tales from the gas station ⛽]

The person in the middle went from holding a Pepsi to holding a broom, truly a representation of Middle America( which I know jack shit of)

Your art has definitely improved but I'm gonna be honest I like the colour palette on the old one. The new one looks a bit muddy IMO

That said it is pretty good, where are these characters from? I've seen you draw a couple of them sometimes

GraveNG responds:

ty ! these characters are from a novel called tales from the gas station. these are my interpretations of them based on description :)
