VidGameDude's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[YOU DUN]

...

This was it, the final hour
The collapse had fallen, and the skies cleared whilst the sun pierced through heavens false darkened gates; my mask thrown towards the rubble and my shotgun in my arms...
Neoprak was finished along with the traitor who had done so...

I yelled out,
"Cry free!!. Roar loud!!. Let us be heard!!
Our lives. Our Wills. Perceptions. And thoughts...
Humanity no more bound by force!!
Taste the air we so deserve!!
See the skies we have earned!!
Feel the wind, hear the birds, breath the atmosphere once more!!"

"This is how we know we are human, Neokprak had none of these whatsoever...
We are triumph because we have souls!"

as crowds of others formed after the fallen debris cleared, they too lifted their mask and gathered around me. i stood atop what had oppressed us for so long.

cheers and bouts of laughter streamed throughout the city as salt poured from my eyes. i wasn't crying because of our victory, but for the man who gave his life for our achievement...

nobody knew his name.
no one bothered to ask why.
not a single person cared to know about him.
but everyone nodded to his agreement in the path self destruction.

it was a damn shame, they think i'm the hero, it's pathetic because a true hero is like pissing yourself in dark pants, no one knows you did it, but you're the only one who realized it happened.

i lied about no one knowing his name and i lied about being at a h.u.b just at the very moment. it was planned out from the moment he gave me his dog tag.

His name was Jack Tremere, my brother.

Yet another really interesting story to my art. Really cool! Thanks. :)

honestly

i would have been more impressed if you used any other program other than zbrush.
the program itself requires little effort after a 3 week course, after that, you seem professional with everything you submit, i should know, me and a couple of other friends did it and we felt ashamed we could sculpt beauty with simplicity in less than a month that would have taken others years. so we all dropped the program and switched to autodesk applications; hell, even oney on newgrounds took the same time frame course and can sculpt organics like a god.

ill give you credit cause it somewhat resembles a futuristic cyber Venus de Milo.
please try not to take too much offense to this review, but to be honest, in my eyes, people who only rely on tools to get by quicker and greater their whole career are not working hard enough to expand the vast horizons of artistic trials and tribulations.

again i apologize if i have insulted you, some artists out here appreciate the toughness and hard work of low grade tools is all and im quite sure it's a damned mix of selfish pride and stubbornness towards today's pro tools.

the piece itself looks wonderful and you have done a fine job as long as passion was put forth then i give it a 9/10...

tlishman responds:

Honestly, what you say is true. Within a month of ZBrush you can sculpt organic objects efficiently. But in reality what this does is open up your creative horizons even more than restrictive programs like 3DSMax. We are talking about digital sketching, doodling and creative exploration. Why do i rely on ZBrush? Because it enables freedom.

Have i learned how to use 3DSMax? Yes, i have been doing it for years. But when it comes down to creativity, ZBrush wins every time. Its a platform for creativity and creation but with also the ability to create professional standard high quality models for further pipeline work in other toolkits.

In regards to the actual piece, its not my best. Far from it, it lacks composition, better lighting, details and actual believability.

But what ZBrush doesn't teach you is anatomy, composition and form. Those things take months to learn, so don't bash ZBrush as a simple tool. There is so much depth to it.

ha

funny thing is i'm listening to grace and glory right at this moment, how coincidental?

[A Touching Story]

hmm

his conversation is quite valid.

Chickenlump responds:

VIDEO GAMES.

[Devil May Crunch]

stamper it's been 3 years

why hasn't capcom endorsed this shit yet?

[Can't stop the Beat]

aw hell

good thing people still remember this old classic.
i'd vouch for a another jet set but i doubt it'll follow the same passionate music to plot ratio.

great tribute, beat looks awesome.

been a long time man, how are yeh?

Last i saw you was at petite symphony and emmy had just taken down her comic right after saint left for bigger better things.

Your art style color mesh is still good as ever, dark shaded paint chip style still seem to be your thing; pretty calming to the eyes with the backround as well, soft tones are definitely a good choice. anyways, hell of a coincidence you being on newgrounds, i mean i knew emmy was what with her lilith submission years ago (which is how i found you guys in the first place :E) but she never updated since.

Also, other note, i love it when people draw cartooned self and depict how you picture yourself, it gives way for such potential, a project in fact that im planning for when i am much more skilled 3d animator.

great job, and good to see you again.

[The life of butterflies]

ah what's this?

New additions to the family? Lamb will be pleased!
...referencing shit isn't as fun as it used to be :E

NeoPrak rule continued after the ditch attempt at collapse had failed. we had, for the next month, knew failure was imminent from the start; the lone soldier who volunteered and fought through told us before he left that his intention wasn't to succeed, it was to make a statement, showing human capability, trying to prove to them we could. He knew that he couldn't fight creatures of reality bending magnitude and of omniscient pathos intent. The collapse (their home) kept spewing out the ashes of our brothers; as it choked the skies, the blood of our sisters washed the streets, paving both mental and physical nausea, reminding us who's who; the obedient living, or the resisting dead. personally i'd rather be a corpse than a slave, but the soldier gave me a letter specifically to me and only to be kept within my shoe sole. funny thing is this letter wasn't paper, digital imprinting of thin nano cell plistering revealed that this was sent an hour into his ascent of the collapse. instructions of floor plans never seen by humans until then and now me. Why did he send it to me? well i happened to be at a h.u.b at the time when i received the call and knew who it was. sent the letter via tanser and got out quick.

this whole time his true goal, which he hid from us until now revealed to me, was to understand the ins and outs of the collapse and how to bring it down. he figured, if five hundred millions tons of pure rock and metal couldn't crush them, at least the air would be breathable within a week before they up and kill the whole planet out of anger.

his mission was a suicidal ring around the rosie, my mission was now the same, this time, they all fall down.

Very neat backstory!! Thanks for sharing, yo! :3
