Urichov's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cooper the Keg-knight]

Well finding a previous version of this guy was easy enough seeing the 2 in the URL for this one:

I remember really enjoying the video you linked to in the description of this one. Might go and rewatch it.

jouste responds:

yeah that cooper vid was crazy! appreciate the score and comment. whenevere I'm lower in the tank I grab some old favorites.

[The Clambus]

Interesting shift between this and the last drawing of yours with a character called "Clambus"

Are they related or did you happen to accidentally give them the same name?

jouste responds:

yeah I wanted to do another clam guy that was just way more interesting. the name just sounded so funny to me that I had to use it again.

[Redhot Poker]

Thought I recognised this dude and sure enough, here he is:

Hasn't changed much. I like his new fire collar thing though, that's pretty rad.

jouste responds:

yeah I wanted to bring him into the newer set up. the front and back and I thought I could also do a better job on the dagger designs.

[Crankson]

Very nice. I enjoy the way the rope looks. Is it a taught sword arm or a taut one though?

jouste responds:

damn it. you are right lol. didn't notice that one and wrote it in a rush. Good eye.

[Starspade]

Hey I remember this guy:
https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/jouste/starspade-the-all-scoop
Some pretty noticeable changes here. New eye situation, a change in backpack, and he generally looks noticeably less mechanical. Good stuff, though (and this may be nostalgia of some sort) I personally prefer the previous iteration.

jouste responds:

yeah the last one has a lot more detail but took too long as I go for speed here. you have a great memory and thanks for bringing the classic up from the depths of time!

[The Father of Forums: Part 3]

Famous helicopter PsychoGoldfish was supposed to have a Newgrounds logo on the side but that got lost in the edit. Anyway, good job, man, it was nice having you.

Edlus responds:

[Yo, I fucked up with drawing Luis as a Latina chick]

Nana responds:

[Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy]

Hey I know that guy.

[rockbert]

Well, I know what my next fan-art is.

[Knothead of the Darkewood]

I've become some kind of jouste journalist now it seems, and oh boy this design is older than I thought:

Wild seeing the evolution on this one, especially since your artstyle was so different in 2009. Arms have gotten real thin since then, but I wonder what ever happened to that coat of leaves in the 2017 version. Come to think of it, that's the only one with a bird's nest too, so does it vary with the seasons perhaps?
Anyway about the piece itself, your style is excellent as always though the back leg on the front perspective looks maybe kinda janky to me, but that's the only criticism I've really got.
Edit: By the way, this is your 420th art submission, congrats my dude.

jouste responds:

whoah 420? crazy! appreciate the journalism! I think it's a lot more common for people to never have seen the ideas or forgot when I posted them. I really like how you remember everything so well. This guy has been visited again and again for sure.
