Stugli's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Expedition]

I adore the vertigo perspective

EDIT: Also to add HERE, because the original post was frontpaged and has a sea of comments; This is a very cool worldbuilding idea and I think it's most effective in this type of art (As opposed to writing where I think it could come across as bland techno-cult) You capture the most compelling part of the idea in your illustrations, which is the moment of discovery or the moment of realizing that the depths you've been exploring go even deeper, and every answer raises more questions. I see those ideas come through very clearly in a lot of your art, so I wanted to tell you I really resonate with it.

Maffi responds:

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you resonate with it. I'll definitely try to draw some more of these since people seem to like it and I enjoy drawing it.

AWOOGA

But this is heresy because Radha doesn't need to go to the gym, she gets her workout from punchung UW players in the face all day

pululon responds:

That's true! XD

You're absolutely inspirational at ink.

[Valor, thy name is Kobold]

There is no bravery without fear, and the greater the fear, the greater the bravery for overcoming it. Keep your demigods and avatars of war - This kobold is my choice.

[Rebecca]

Stunning as always. I'm always in awe of really well done multicolored lighting from separate angles. Very cool.

[Lustrous Vessel, Vehicle of Fulguration]

More more more more!!!

[Abyssmal Researchers of the Primordial Consciousness]

My favorite thing about them is they're not "Abysmal" researchers, they're "Abyssmal". Which isn't a word and would potentially bug me but it adds SO MUCH character to the art & the artist.

It's like you're progressively illustrating the world's wonkiest Dark Souls game's boss lineup.

Oh, and as always, stellar work.

Chamber-of-Goo responds:

You're so kind, thank you!! I'm glad people are noticing that the misspelling was intentional and it doesn't just make me look stupid, thank you!

[Prime]

Totally rad

[Sequestered Fiend Beyond the Crumbling Wall]

Ok flipping through a couple of these here I think your art's awesome! But much more impressive than that is the very dorky names all your pieces have. I think this one's my favorite title so far.

[Putrid Sewer Dweller]

I love him. I want to go on cool adventures with this dastardly rogue and be betrayed by him but then have him come back and give up all the money to save me because we bonded and became friends and he actually grows as a character but is still that same sleazy jerk that the audience liked seeing to begin with.

Pretty slick what you can do with just an expression and half of his face!

Chamber-of-Goo responds:

Gotta be the nicest, most hyperspecific compliment I have ever artistically received, thank you so much!
