ElectricKoatHanger's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[neurodivergency babie!!!]

Alright, where do I start with this image.

I'm not usually the kinda guy to get offended at things, especially things as trivial as art on the internet, but as someone who actually has autism, this image actually kind of offended me.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like the imagery this art uses implies that all (or, at least, most) autistic people are childish, socially-inept, man-babies, especially with first character's use of the chewing-ring.

Also, the irony in the fact that you wrote "Fuck Autism Speaks" feels especially tone-deaf, as you cared enough to bring attention to the awfulness of AS, yet didn't care enough to look at this image and think "Maybe, I shouldn't post this".

Also, I really don't like your art style, but that's more of a nitpick.

Toodles.

Hi! I'm also autistic myself, this was made for comfort and to celebrate the more "stereotypical" traits of myself that im often mocked for. i use chewing necklaces and get mocked for it and i am indeed rather childish (obviously not because of my autism, but i just so happen to be autistic and childish) i made this basically to showcase my own stereotypical traits and reclaim them as my own instead of automatically being labelled as "cringe"

[Spicy & Doom]

Damn, son. These are really fuggin' cool. Love the art style and the character designs.

Kriskull responds:

Wow, thanks man, I really appreciate it!

[Flag of India]

It certainly is the flag of India.

STearleArt responds:

It's part of my flag collection that I sell on my merch stores. They're for consumers looking for a more subtle design. Believe it or not, these flags are some of my best sellers.

[Mega Man X - Zero]

Normally, I'd give this a five, for the amazing line work and the stylish monochrome color palette, but the caption underneath it was so dreadful, that it made me experience secondhand embarrassment, so I'm knocking it down to just four stars.

Jmanvelez responds:

Imma go for 3 stars next time

[The One-Cheesed Cracker]

Now, this...

This is fucking art.

[Mario RPG]

The colors and shading are spectacular and the poses are fun.

Keep up the great work.

[Klonoa]

The colors are pleasant and the line-work is good. All around an alright piece, but I do have some gripes:

The brim of his hat is too narrow. It almost makes it look like it's pointing out diagonally, behind him, but I assume it's supposed to be pointing somewhat to the front. Also, the cuff of his glove is too big, making it look like it's breaking the laws of gravity.
I'll give you a pass on the hand, because I know how hard it is to draw hands.

All-in-all, it's a nicely-drawn piece. Could be better, though.

[LOOK-A-LIKES]

I love the colors. The contrast of the cool blues and greens on the warm reds and magentas makes the art look really stylish. Not to mention the slick line art.

Great work.
