Remi-le-Oduen's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Heartist 800 Follower Special]

Huge thanks for taking my request, you did amazing job! Your image of Thom Merrilin is really great, it conveys that this old gleeman has lots of dangerous tricks up his sleeves.
Also love how you've drawn Holo, her face is really cute. Spice and Wolf is a great book and one of my favorite animes, probably the best in romance genre.
I also remember Hobgoblin being one of pretty cool enemies in old Spiderman cartoons, with his crazy behavior and vile mockery, you really nailed that vibe!
Not familiar with the rest of the group, but it's always cool to see some new OCs)
Huge thanks again, glad you enjoyed working on those requests!

Hey, thanks for making the request! I’m thrilled to know that I was able to capture the essence of the character.
As for Holo, I’ve got no familiarity with her or the series she’s from, but dang if she isn’t cute. And if you’re at all interested in Hobgoblin (or just fun comics in general), I can’t recommend the book AXIS: Hobgoblin enough.
You’re most welcome, and I’m glad you enjoy seeing them!

I think I already saw it...

So... I kind of don't understand what was that battle about? The rabbit dude said it was punishment but at the same time they already planned to exile him as a punishment, didn't they?
Still feel too much telling instead of showing, but overall the comic is nice, will look forward for more

Yep, that was a really huge problem. If there was an infected grain in the harvest, it was impossible to separate good flour from bad. And sometimes that meant choosing between risking to eat a poisoned bread or starving
BTW, do you have any plans on making a comic about mesoamerican culture? With all the corn and stuff, they had some interesting religious beliefs and cultural elements about it

manganart responds:

You nailed it!

The thing is, I tried to focus on other parts of the world as well, rather than just the history of Europe and the Mediterranean. I wanted to explore bread in Asia, India, Africa (beyond just Egypt), and the Americas. But there’s so little information available that it’s hard to find reliable sources online, and books are too expensive just to take some notes. Still, I want to make sure I also focus on the Americas: Central, North, and South.

So maybe this is the right time I guess to try again, before Europeans come back to America

Bonking never been so painful

He really should see the doctor...

[The Ink Krystal Chapter #2 - Boulevard of Broken Dreams]

It's okay. Can't say I'm really into it though. I feel like some actions and interactions feel forced and illogical. For example, why Imo doesn't tell Elliot about Eight? It could have been logical if her dad was not aware of her power, but since he knows and their relationship seems trusting, it is only natural for her to ask him what to do about this other person knowing about her quirk.
As for Eight's attempts to enroll Imo - he seems to not know whether he is trying to bribe her or to threaten her. And while she says she doesn't trust him, she then starts speaking with him of what she hoped to learn, which is strange. Shouldn't she be more scared of untrustworthy person who can imprison her in a closed subspace anytime he wants?
Anyway, the premise was good and I wonder what will happen next

[RFF Lure Lurkers]

Yep, I would have stopped asking questions many comic issues ago...

[Distance]

Oh my...

[The Ink Krystal Chapter #1 - Caught in a Dream]

Nice beginning with a bunch of hooks to grab reader's attention. A few things that I think were not necessary:
1.Giving a character's name in a separate cloud is not necessary if someone is calling him in the same page (or his name is given through the shop's banner)
2. Page 7 was totally redundant. A reader will understand everything simply from "a few years later" and Imogen calling Elliot "dad"
It's traditional "show, don't tell" approach.
I like the style and story so far anyway)
