MinatoArisato's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cyclops]

I grew up watching it too
I think my favorite as a kid was gambit, though in later years Jubilee and Rogue were cool too. I always thought Cyclops's blue suit was pretty iconic but also lol underwear on the outside as is superhero fare. I also remember the big robots being a real issue for them.

The-Artist-J responds:

Haha Yeah, they never show that part of the story! When Cyclops is like, "I think I'll put this yellow underwear over my pants...Yup, that makes the costume work."

[Nikki Swapnote]

I liked all her cute drawings. I miss miiverse too, the global sense of community and always being connected with people. People's drawings for even the least popular games. Everything seemed to have a little fanbase even if it was derpy drawings.

Yamouri responds:

her doodles were adorable! miiverse really did represent that link between Nintendo players in the 2010’s, and i think swapnote had something to do with it. Nikki feels like an icon of what creativity in the nintendo space can be.

[Sergei Dragunov - The White Angel of Death]

Makes me think of Hidan from Naruto XD
nah I'm sure he's much more hardcore than that by the sounds of things. I've always been super curious about Tekken because its one of the fighting games that seems to do a lot of storyline stuff. Back when they made Streetfighter X Tekken I checked out all the cinematic trailers they made for it, super cool/funny if you haven't seen them.

Sergei's trailer for TK6 makes him look pretty brutal, all of his attacks look really heavy.

SketchMeNot responds:

Oh yeah, Dragunov's always been a total badass. Doesn't say a word, but his brutality speaks volumes! His attacks all hit so damn hard and his animations are dripping with cold and calculated malice.

Plus he has a surprisingly endearing personality with his singing hobby, and now he's a hobby collector, hell yes. I love everything about this man and he's my number favorite fighting game character. Love him to bits!

[More OEW one-pagers]

I love the face on the last panel. Though you'd think she'd be used to all the gross shit by now.

AntonM responds:

true lol

[Smoke Break]

Cool bird arms, is this just a random mood drawing? or is there some backstory to the character?

Also, what other hobbies do you have besides drawing/painting? do you play video games or collect things? always makes me wonder what good artists do to balance out all the art they make.

AntonM responds:

thanks! yeah these illustrations start out as random mood doodles, then I flesh them out with a story as I add more details

As for hobbies, just the regular stuff: games, movies/ shows, reading, music. I guess I do have a nice physical collection of these things too but I wouldn't say I collect em really

[ENA and Moony - How Did I Get Here?]

Damn you nailed the style, I love the blocky half. Really well done.

SketchMeNot responds:

Hehe thank you so much! Glad you like hw it turned out! It was fun drawing ENA again!

[THANK YOU!]

So when's the game coming out? :3

DoctorSpectre responds:

I'd love to make a game, someday!

[da crew || pico's school]

Love the look of everyone, especially Nene and Darnell

wild0moon responds:

thank you, minato arisato from the manga adaptation of the playstation® 2 video game "persona 3"

[Patiently]

Damn that looks so good on the page vs digital. Do you keep all of your physical art after you upload it?

AntonM responds:

yup they're all safe in a folder, i'll sell em when i get off my arse and figure out how

[Best of Huevember 2022]

TV heads reminded me of the old webcomic I used to read 'The property of Hate'

Alanide responds:

Yeah! TV heads aren't a TPOH thing originally, but I love that webcomic still. The author is a friend of mine :D
