Toxic-Tin-Can's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[False Front Fan Art]

Only on the second song on the album as of writing this, but I'm really digging the music here. The fact that you want out of your way to make an entire album for something that was never released speaks volumes to me about your passion. The art itself reminds me quite a bit of the earlier stuff on this site, especially MindChamber, but there's also a lot of polish here that many of those older works lacked. As a whole, some good shit here. My only problem is that I desperately need to know where I can find the rest of False Front's stuff lol.

On the same channel, I uploaded their 2 albums and 2 live sets by them

Sonic CD is far from perfect, but it's pretty alright if you're willing to learn it's quirks (coming from a Sonic fan lol).
That aside, I absolutely love how the background captures the aesthetic of the Japanese box art for the classic Sonic games, and the little emotes the two do are great addition as well. If I had to make one critique, it's that Amy and Metal's colors seem a bit desaturated compared to the background, and really, it's not that big of a deal. This is just a lovely and charming work.

travsaus responds:

Personally I think the contrast looks nice, but hey we all have different tastes!

[Jump'N'Shoot Attack Fanart]

Typically I'd suggest looking in the Internet Archive if they have the files for the games, but considering current events, might be awhile before you can check. Still, a lovely little tribute, reminds me of the ending screens in the classic Sonic games.

[Sonic Joker]

I'll be real, I like this so much better than what they showed Sonic would actually look like. Totally understand why they did it, but it just doesn't do it for me. This however, places Sonic in a role that butts heads with Batman on a regular basis. It's not the same as Sonic & Shadow's rivalry, but it's a much more creative twist, and I love the execution as well. It exclaims "Joker" perfectly, while still keeping that unique upbeat edge that Sonic has.

TL;DR This fucks hard bro

[My Sun]

Losing a pet is absolutely heart wrenching, regardless of the circumstances. RIP Blotchy. You have nothing but my sympathy.

[Grunge-splosion]

I'm a little confused on the bit in the center, but other than that, this is great, especially for your first time.

ObeliskWithLimbs responds:

Thanks, as for the central effect it was supposed to be a flash of light, but drawn in a more crude way
Although I guess I could've done it better, even if the goal was to be bad

[Beep Boop Music]

I told one of my previous counselors that a lot of my music tastes is from video games and they responded with "Oh like the beeps and boops?" And that has bothered me ever since.

[PUNCH PUNCH ANNOUNCER]

Honestly I didn't realize that Jin was a man until the second episode and I absolutely popped off when I did. Great to see him get some appreciation.

[Suitors]

Oh shit I didn't realize you were here too! I picked up the first vol of Codex Black when the public library was giving away free books. Needless to say it's stuck with me, I'm excited to see what comes next!

Shi-Gu responds:

Hahaha I'm so glad you liked the first book! The second one is coming out this summer!
Newgrounds is pretty much my origin story. This was the first site I joined to share my early works back when I was a kid haha
