Colilite's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lisa Frank Tiger]

You must've had fun with this one, the style has a pointillism feel to it throughout the rainbow gradient

Olahresidence responds:

I did! It was very therapeutic to work on. I was also learning how to make a colourized brush so it was a bit of a test for that. I also made it towards the end of the year so it was right on time for Chinese new year.

[Overwhelming Dissappointment]

I like the use of perspective changes and textures. It drives the feelings home in a sense, some of the best ideas come from that release the canvas gives. Did you make a set?

Olahresidence responds:

Thank you! Perspective is one of my weaker attributes. I don't get to practice it nearly enough tbh.
Also, do you mean a set as in a series of art? Or a brush set for the texture? I'm a little bit confused on the wording, forgive me.

[Stitching]

Love the design and the palette, she's cool

KEKIIRO responds:

Thank you! ^-^

[Chilling out]

Gonna need the lore behind this

Pasilion responds:

Frankly at the moment the lore is a sea/mess of sticky notes and random voice records. It will be my life's work. I hope that in a few years I manage to have time and funds to make it real.

[The Cat Returns]

Very interesting, have you ever considered doing a short animation loop based on this?
We didn't tackle animation, but they made us work with screen printing up to building our own mesh. Enjoyable for the most part, though the smell of thinner was a nightmare, and the blocker was finicky and would let colors seep through at times.

Olahresidence responds:

If I had the time, patience, and abundance of materials, I would try to do a traditionally painted animation. It would take forever though, and I have other projects I'm working on at the moment.

[Now What?]

Kind of like being thrust into the unknown with all the uncertainty. The bleeding makes me think of student loans for some reason.

Olahresidence responds:

Oh absolutely. The price of student loans as well as being disabled and dealing with academic ableism makes me sort of regret even being thrust into academia in the first place. "Get a degree" they said "it'll be your ticket to improving your life," they said.

[Mental Downfall]

Also, in a fashion similar to the 2017 hurricanes, the COVID situation unearthed a lot of hardship and living condition issues. They were always there, but generally turned a blind eye to.

Olahresidence responds:

Hell, you could compare it to the most infamous hurricane, Katrina. I visited New Orleans before and after the hurricane and even still the city has a huge homelessness crisis. Or the recession of 2008, where a lot of college graduates were thrust into an uncertain job market. All we can do is wait for it to get better and point out the flaws in the system, unfortunately.

[Iconic Self]

Low-res or not, it looks pretty good. Its the expression you'd expect after going through 2020

Olahresidence responds:

Oh absolutely. I haven't felt anything but this expression since 2020. A perpetual tiredness for existence.

[Manic Jacket - Request]

Loving the aesthetic

DamonBurnal responds:

Holy shit, I didn't think anyone on NG would care! Thanks dude! Let me know if you want something done! I'm workin' Pro Bono ;^D

[Die Sieben Raben]

I got curious, that was a pretty interesting read

Olahresidence responds:

Isn't it? It's one of those lesser known Grimms tales that I translated for a German assignment and the whole thing left me scratching my head.
