MagentaNova's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy 30th anniversary]

I needed to hear this. I was in a similar situation for this anniversary thing and it kinda broke me. I was disappointed when I felt like the stuff I made was underwhelming, especially for such a special time. In the end, I decided to just get my stuff done at a reasonable pace and celebrate the day as it happened. Even if things didn't go the way I intended, I enjoyed being able to show what I had done for the occasion and see what others did for it.
Hope everyone enjoyed the 30th anniversary.

ScrimbleCupid responds:

Real!! We put so much pressure on ourselves and end up losing the enjoyment of making art because of it. I'm glad you were still able to have fun and enjoy the anniversary, though!

[Day 7 - Gemstone]

Loving the use of color in this piece.

NathanMoth responds:

[Mermay 2024 - Day 9]

Started watching these earlier in the month. Really cute style and adorable orca character.

HiSS-Graphics responds:

Thank you. I'm both sad to stop for now, but also happy to finally have done a full Mermay! She will be returning next year though :D

[SCW Strip! #6]

But hey, at least you got a cool Luigi mug.

WildGirl91 responds:

That's a good start.

[By Your Side (June of 2023)]

I always enjoy looking back at my old art from time to time. Thinking about it now, quite a bit of my art (at least what's on here) revolves around people I may consider friends. Even though some have come and gone, the stuff I created around them serves as my connection to them. And artistic/personal growth, of course. Glad to see this is a common philosophy.

Anyway, looks like you're (sorta) new to these grounds. If that's the case, welcome to the horde!

TheCakeMage responds:

Thank you so much! For me personally I have strong memory based around what I draw when I drew it, no matter the decades that pass. It does make my work feel potent in a way that's hard to relate to others.

I hope your connections stay healthy, and that you see your own growth above all else

[Chains Johnson The Sequel!]

I love Chains Johnson, man! So glad to see more of him.

Redborrow responds:

Makes me very happy to hear! Will try to make more!

[Mouse on a Mouse]

I imagine it's the bulky, plastic feel that they have that makes it so fun.

Onziware responds:

Woah! That's a good answer!

POV: Pico requests a dollar for the school vending machine. (He's hungry and forgot his lunch)

SkyHawkins responds:

I'll give him two dollars so he can get a soda too
