Vertecks's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[*LOUD EXHALE* guess what]

I rarely latch to any sort of fandom culture or to any specific fanartist's interpretation of a work of fiction in general. Your KumaDuster drawings are the exception tho. I eagerly await for them every week like a little kid getting his allowance. They're really cute and sweet and also often hilarious :D

Thank you! To be honest I'm sort of on the other side of the same boat. I haven't been active in a "fandom" for years and I got pretty used to drawing exclusively original artwork with the occasional picture of some musicians or underground comix heroes I liked, so drawing all of this hyper-specific fanart has been an interesting experience. I was pretty embarrassed by it for a while because I felt almost like it was "lesser" art compared to my usual stuff for whatever reason or that I was alienating my audience, but I somehow managed to appeal to a lot of different people across the spectrum. I get people commenting or DMing me about how I got them interested in these characters or this pairing, despite not knowing anything about Mother 3, or previously not being a fan of the idea of these characters together, etc. So it's been getting easier for me to not get in my own head about it. My default state of mind is to put myself and everything I enjoy down, but it's hard to do that when the feedback I receive is almost unanimously positive. So thank you again, sorry for the long and delayed response... I'm very happy you enjoy my interpretation of them 😁
