Monkius's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quarantined with Ramen]

Of course don't only buy ramyun--because I see Hangul and what looks like the second half of "Nongshim" on the container, I figure it's the Korean version and not the original Chinese la mian or the Japanese ramen that popularised the dish. /Noodle historian

But yeah, you need some canned beans in tomato sauce and frozen pizza as well! (Or at least those are my favourites...)

Also, if one were marooned at sea or something, how awesome would it be to come back to a giant vat of noodles like that? Lol.

I'm crap at drawing, but maybe I should get in on this "shelter-in-place" thing. It looks like a lot of fun...

[Something to Say]

Wow, that's double-encrypted. "I like it." What exactly does she like? Hmm... I'm going to keep my mind out of the gutter and say it's the modifications I've made to some war machine found in warhammer 40k.

Seems you've accumulated quite a backlog in your absence from NG. Welcome back

Galejro responds:

Techpriestess Megane ain't my character, she was made by www.deviantart.com/lutherniel for a Warhammer Idol thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYTa5xDhqpc&list=PLmjMOYjphH17k7-WCMTMrbpn_s1U23fDP&index=1 so I can't exactly have a say in what she's into... Her target design was to be a music idol, so she'd be into music and arts. So in respect to that I'd see her as a civillian techpriestess, someone who's doing only half duty as a techpriestess and lives as a regular person. She'd be into the same stuff as a regular girl I'd say.

Yeah there's been some works at the back more are coming.

[Red Flow Bar - Cyber Sheep]

The cityscape in the background is gorgeous.

Does this game have vampires in it? When I google "Cybersheep," all I find is some presentation on genetics. If there aren't any vampires, you might want to consider renaming the bar, since it sounds like er, a biological function. Irrespective of this, I am interested to learn more about this game. I suppose that it's currently quite far from release?

[Super 9999 in 1]

Thru-hole components, I remember those! Lol. On another note, some of your track names are pretty hilarious; "Beaver" and "Diarrhea" are a couple of these gems, and that's only in the 8 sample tracks!

MrRubel responds:

Haha, thanks!

[Road Trip]

Ah, a connecting rod failure... Those are never fun. I see that the car has steel wheels, since there are no pools of aluminum where wheels used to be. I never noticed how closely high-pressure sodium lights match the colour of flames, lol. Would be interesting to see what a version with LED street lights would look like with a "cool"/"warm" lighting contrast/juxtaposition/whatever you call it.

[Interstellar Ice Cream (2017)]

The look of mild despair on her face sort of tells the story of her thought process... Something like: "Hmm, to eat the magical pink ice cream and suffocate or to have it freeze-dry on me and perhaps enjoy it less? Hey, it's magic! Maybe it can pass through my helmet! Sigh, I guess I'll have it later, then." But if the readout on the helmet is for oxygen reserves, she may as well eat the ice cream if she isn't right next to a ship or space station...

Also, the lighting and background are awesome.

[lämp]

I love chair, I love table...
(Whispering) I love lamp.

Sorry I don't have anything useful to say, lol.

[Station 5 (2013)]

Not only is the gradient on the sky/clouds beautiful, but it's accurate for a place like that; it looks similar to an over-saturated version of a photo I've taken in a place with (okay, no spaceships, but...) a dense human population, lots of pollution, tons of high-rises and tons of cranes erecting new high-rises lol.

Also, I would totally hang out there, as well.

rtil responds:

ironically, sunsets tend to be so much more colorful and vibrant in polluted cities (as long as the smog isn't hiding it)

[The Garden]

Hahaha, it's the /head/ of a shovel. I get it! And the head is damaged, because Anglosphere.

I don't so much understand the eyeballs and the flower, but that's why surrealism is my favourite.

[winter night]

On the first day of Christmas(ish), radshoe gave to me (and the rest of the internet):
Pixel art with some trees

Heh... Best I could come up with, spur-of-the-moment.

I like the shimmering effect of the snow.

radshoe responds:

Thank you! ^^
