Sabtastic's art Reviews on Newgrounds

So cuuute! 5/5

Nice job bringing KawaiSprite's music to life - you really captured the energetic, bright nature of the music with your use of colour and motion. I'm a fan! Love your other work too, by the way! You've got such a huge range of styles.

Woah thanks Sab !! :/D

[I've been waiting]

Oh man. This is fantastic.

The soft synths paired with the wafting smoke work SO GOOD TOGETHER.
Nice job!

If I absolutely HAD to be critical, the cross at the top getting distorted by the smoke is a tad distracting and could be layered cleaner, but it's honestly not a big enough deal to affect the overall image, IMO.

Seriously a stand-out piece. You're quite skilled.

[Dudley!?]

Love the combination of your art with this music. My mind almost takes it to a retro style animated Cuphead-esque sort of a world. Hopefully that was close to what you were going for!

Awesome job, and nice work with your additional entry!

[Space Bitz]

This is activating some serious 8-bit adventure game nostalgia for me.
Nice work with the character creation, the looping float animation, and the overall harmony of this entry! Really syncs up with the music well. <:

[Meow Parade]

Hahah, solid loop! Awesome job.

This is my kinda content. Great choice of music, and great choice of kittens paired with tanks to go with Killreal's song. Love your contest entry.

Thanks for review! I really apreciate your feedback! :3

[WHAT YOU LOVE]

Stellar work.

Everything from the pastel colour palette, the character, and the music harmonize with the whole piece. I love the subtle nod to the music artist with the logo up top, too. You're both quite skilled!

You guys work nicely together--! Could there be more collaborations on the horizon in the future, maybe? *eyeball emojis*

thank you so much!! working with someone like garlagan would certainly be a dream come true,,, but until then I'll just appreciate their music as is

[Quiet Night - MIA2020]

Nice job!

The combined music and artwork make me want to click this image as if it's a title card for a relaxing pixel game. This could look cute on youtube with some simple animation loops like snowflakes falling or smoke rising from the chimney, too--!

Nice job on the lighting and reflections. Love the entirety of this contest entry. You and the music artist LeoBarig complement one another well.

Thanks for the kind words Sab ^^, I still remember you leaving a review on one of my crappier art things back in 2014 and it was crazy to me at the time that an actual big artist reviewed something of mine. I've more or less ditched regular digital art for pixel art but hopefully I've improved a bit since then.

Lovely work, and great interpretation of a very bright, energetic song!

I haven't used medibang paint pro, but if that's a program that uses layers, I think you'd have a lot of fun with layer styles (like color dodge, linear dodge, or hard light) when painting stars, comets, and other glow effects. Really gives gives a nice kick to the contrast and a pop of colour!

Keep up the good work. Just going through the first of all of the contest entries now.

I hope I haven't said this before, but I ADORE your use of light, bright green / turquoise as a highlight.

I instantly know I'm looking at your work because of it. It's such a subtle, yet unique detail and it always looks so sharp! Nice work on this piece too, btw!

This is SO impressive! I'm honored to be included in this massive collection, and delighted to be covered in tiny birds. haha

AMAZING JOB!

No problem! Birds are awesome gift.
