DownBad4Men's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Today's Future Problems: Salad Fingers]

The Scream is so iconic, I instantly knew what the original version for this one would be - amazing job replicating it :D The use of long brush strokes in your version makes everything look like it's flowing, looks awesome :o Sometimes we all need a good rusty spoon lol

StitchMiss responds:

It took ages getting those brush strokes right, I wanted to make it feel disorienting and dreamy like the original had ^-^ Seemed perfect for the Salad Fingers series :D
I still remember my friend introducing it to me with zero context XD

[Today's Future Problems: Pico's School]

I love the blend of the monumental and street/school feel, the intricate stone carving and the lockers and graffiti fit oddly well together! Super nice portrayal of shape in this one :D

StitchMiss responds:

Thank you so much! It made for a fun mix of traditional styles and aesthetics with some more modern influences. It brings back all the themes I wanted for this exhibition :D

[Today's Future Problems: P-Bot (The Newgrounds Bots)]

Nice!! I really love how you've stylized this piece - the entries in the background and the pile of submissions all really bring out the Newgrounds feel :D I love how you draw robots, P-bot's looking real shiny here :)

StitchMiss responds:

Thank you so much, I am so chuffed you saw the background. The Portal is such a cornerstone to the website so I wanted to bring attention to it in the Exhibition somehow ^-^
I'm hoping to do some more epic robots for Robot Day, so this made for good practice :D

[Today's Future Problems: NOX]

I really thought this was a 3D model of NOX at first! The tone, the depth... And the fabric!! Super realistic as always! The craziness of Lee's work fits the panicked kinda feel of the original perfectly :D

StitchMiss responds:

Thank you so much! ^o^ This was one of those that took a lil extra time but was so worth it at the end of the day. Really love the NOX series and wanted to do a proper homage for it :D

[Today's Future Problems: Madness Combat]

You probably knew I was gonna be excited to see this! I am blown away by the arch in the background, it has so much depth and kinda reminds me of the lines that appear in MC11! Beautiful lighting n shading on this one, kinda reminds me of watercolour a bit, especially in Tricky's hair :D

StitchMiss responds:

MadCom brought us here, so this was the one I was most excited and most nervous to work on XD
I loved how the arch looked in the original and decided I could work to include it in a way that fit into the universe and themes ^-^ It was really fun to do and I'd love to try more background work like this for future Madness pieces :D I've always loved the careful details Krinkel's includes in his works o.o

[Today's Future Problems: Hellbenders]

Nice work, their faces made me laugh XD Something I've noticed is the way you've darkened the edges, it makes this look more like it's a painting :o

StitchMiss responds:

It just suits the creators perfectly XD
Thank you so much ^-^ I think its a technique I picked up when I learnt oil painting o.o That was such a nightmare because the lecturer was one of 'those' types. Forbid us from using black paint and kept saying we weren't doing brush marks correctly, but never taught us why our way was wrong x_X It was a rough year XD

[Today's Future Problems: Friday Night Funkin']

I love all the varied line thickness going on the texture, the shading :o I dunno how, but you've recreated both the comic style and the FNF style at the same time, and it's epic! :D

StitchMiss responds:

Thank you so much! ^o^ This was so hard to get right XD I couldn't find any other art period that could properly match the FNF style, so I had to return to Pop Art for help. Really happy with the final result ^-^

[J F K M Three Casuals Mix (NG FanArt)]

Great stuff, love the lineart! There's something so satisfying about seeing all the patches of lines in the shading that all flow in one direction :o

StitchMiss responds:

Thank you so much ^o^ I was trying to replicate the style of the original album art that VariableGR did :D Really glad it turned out alright!

[Today's Future Problems: Fancy Pants Adventures]

You're doing amazingly well at portraying the style of the original artist, I saw the motion lines and colours and knew it was Mr. Haring! I also love the detail of the pencil drawing stuff in, that's so creative :D

StitchMiss responds:

He has such an awesome style that is so recognizable but so perfect for the period ^-^ Really enjoyed studying his works in college. It felt perfect for the Fancy Pants franchise, and suited the bright colors and themes :D Really had fun with this one!

[Today's Future Problems: ENA]

Whoa, this is so fitting! Whenever I see ENA characters, I'm reminded of Cubism. I really like the use of brushes in this one, adds so much texture and interest :o

StitchMiss responds:

Cubism and ENA work together perfectly ^o^ This made for such a fun piece to create and I learnt a lot of new tricks for brush textures that I'd love to use in future works o.o
