OptimisticOctopus's art Reviews on Newgrounds

I don't know if this should be E for everyone. Aaaaah. Horrifying.

[the binding of isaac: big binding PIXELDAY 2023]

Man I haven't played Isaac in a while but this is such a fun tribute. It's such a cool, unique world with a really strong vibe and aesthetic I just find it a chore to play most of the time. Still one of my favorite games though and this is fantastic.

Haunted by his many years of indiscriminate killing. Can his soul ever know peace?

[Zelda 2]

Holy shit man you added a ton of personality to these sprites. I've always known you were a great artist but that attention to detail is next level.

[Steve Is Coming At You]

Oh shit oh god oh man oh fuck

Here he comes

[Hellmari]

Wait, why is it on pornhub??! Am I missing something? I mean, yeah, I get it, she's a smokin' hot babe from my dreams but still I thought this was just a spooky thing...?

[The Funny Nightmare]

There's something really special about drifting away from Newgrounds for a while for any number of reasons, changing interests, etc, and then coming back to it at some point in the future and realizing that it's still going strong, thanks to a bunch of dedicated people that still clearly give a fuck, super hard at that. Kinda how it was for me.

I love NG even if I haven't been coming here consistently in a long time, and I have a lot of good memories playing your Reincarnated series too! This is a great piece as well. Gotta love the classic art references. I got exposed to the original one in art history.

Someone should tell them that's not adequate protection.

[ghost]

Dunno about y'all but I would marry her. I could live with a few horrible demonic curses.

[mario galaxy]

Damn, the way you draw Rosalina is SUPER cute. It's almost like character design is an important concept for even kinda basic looking characters and maybe Nintendo should take notes lol.
