TharosTheDragon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Newgrounds Dreamcast Collab]

This just makes me feel like I'm not in on whatever the joke is

CruelDistortion responds:

Moushley is barely even a joke, so you're not that far from getting it, bud!

[Artifacts]

Wait but what's your method for doing the enhanced shimmering effect?

Emrox responds:

draw a few dots or whatever random pattern, cut off the sides to make it rectangular, then convert to bitmap, then break apart, then eyedropper tool the broken apart bitmap to get a repeating bitmap fill that you can apply to stuff

THEN add an outline to your drawing with the ink bottle tool (convert lines to fills before this step, if the drawing involves lines already) and color the new outline to be the repeating bitmap fill. Then you should be able to see that making adjustments with the gradient transform tool starts to give the shimmering effect. To animate it in the timeline, you make two keyframes with the gradient transform set to different positions and then shape tween them

(as I said in the video, it's a fairly involved process! Getting shape tweens involved might even be impractical for a lot of uses, but it's definitely useful in some very specific cases)

also: the effect only really works with 1-2 pixel weight lines, extend it too far and then the trick becomes a little too obvious and the illusion breaks

Hey, I gave this my best-of-the-month vote! I'm really impressed and I'd love to see more from you. The art style is great and I like how it's done. If you're on any other websites, you can link to your other pages here on your Newgrounds page.

AriadnaRamos responds:

Omg! Thank you! I really appreciate it! I am very new to this platform but ill make sure to add some links! Have a wonderful day 💕

[Madness combat claynation 3]

He just kills the unarmed scientist in cold blood? What makes him the good guy?

duffosaur responds:

who said he was

[The House Of Mirrors]

I see you remembered to favorite your own movie 🤔

isaacmonsterart responds:

Yes, why not? 😂

[Clocks of the BBS 2022]

When you said clock-themed superhero, I immediately thought of Super Hero Clock.

MetalSlayer69 responds:

damn, that's cool

[Joh and Dish Episode Two Out Now Teaser]

How did this win Daily Feature?

WrongLeverCreations responds:

Beats me! But I'm glad it did!

[Ollie & Scoops Episode 9: Vinnie Video]

Wait a minute, is that THE Mara Wilson? I don't see her on the IMDb page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17519532/

What a stacked cast in any case. This has gotta be one of the highest budget animations on NG.

OllieAndScoops responds:

For some reason, IMDB isn't believing me when I try adding her to the cast list! (Same with the next episode, Ep10) I'll keep trying... Maybe now that the episode is actually out, they'll believe me and add her.

[Guns FNF]

So GF was in a leotard the whole time? I thought it was a short dress

NIKOYOART responds:

Nah she’s in a short dress

But when I started this animation (a year ago) we didn’t know what her outfit fully looked like so I drew it like this and just kept it that way aha

[Teddy Bear Panic: SCAD 2021 Thesis Film]

Was this inspired by the upcoming game Stuffed?

AnimationAsylum responds:

I haven't heard about Stuffed before. I was more inspired by a mix of Toy Story and Monsters Inc for the look of the film.
