I made this for some halloween banner art for this lovely website.
The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 9.9 / 10
It is amazing It is going on my favorites for halloween even though halloween is done. Great work. It deserves the score it has. I really love how art doesn't get zerobombed. It's one of the good things about this website. The audio portal on the other hand is Jackshit.
I love steampunk stuff and this is one of the best steampunk things I've seen so far... well that and the steampunk dragon (givig you any ideas?)....
.....No words
A very appealing character. You did a great job incorporating the different elements in to the design.
One thing that takes away from the image over all is that everything is rendered more or less the same; because the pumpkin, knife, rusty metal, skin, and hair are all shaded similarly, the character looks more like an action figure than an actual living, breathing creature.
Also, the whole image is pretty evenly lit because there are so many light sources with similar brightness. This makes the character seem less spooky/weird/creepy.
Good job on this, though. I'm impressed. =)
Nice, love how u put steampunk and halloween together!
am i the only one who thinks this should be the new and only newgrounds halloween mascot
You're my one and only fav artist on NG.
now this a work of art. johnny utah you have outdone yourself yet again good job man.
Am I the only peron who looks at this and thinks "Bioshock"? :D Very very good!
Jebus! It's Newgrounds mascots fused together :|
i want that as my halloween costume!
Now that is pretty cool
I absolutely love this. Got to be one of my favorite art submissions ever. Got a Frankenstein meets machine feel to it. Keep it up.
I like pico and this drawing is great. I loved it.
FOR HONOUR!
FOR GLORY!
FOR HIDEOUSLY MUTATED STEAMPUNK PICOS THAT ADORN THE SITE!
Great drawing, gives the eerie feeling of Halloween.
Didn't even know there were art awards either, nice job!
how many halloween biological freaks does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
hopefully 1
...what a costume!
Excelent imagination and briliant as always from our favorate artist!
When you were drawing this, did you draw it with the intent of splitting it in half for the banner? Or was it split later as an afterthought. Before I saw this, the banner looked like 2 separate drawings, but with the same theme.
The more I look at it the more I feel you planned on splitting it down the middle, I guess I just find it interesting that you created it as one.
Author's Response:
yeah i drew it with the intention of splitting it...i tried to avoid any major details besided maybe the pumpkin getting cut down the middle.
i guess i was semi-successful.
this is awesome, you should make this into a t-shirt. I'd buy it!.
I thought this was the most badass picture I've seen in a while, and most of all, in the little globe on his right shoulder, is the kid from Daddy N' Me :D
I've never liked Pico all that much. He's okay but I really don't know how the games became so Newgrounds-famous. I know, just about every user disagrees with me.. But it's what I think. (I've been using Newgrounds for at least 4 years now. stfu calling me a noob.) Anyway, back to my review. The reason I gave it a 9, honestly, is because Dad is growing in a jar in the back.
Author's Response:
dad is a pickled punk
I love this 4 2 reasons: 1 It is done very skillfully and 2 Last year when I was making jack-o-lanterns I screwed up and got pissed off and just did a normal face but stabbed it with a butcher knife afterwards and it looked quite like the one in this work.
Great Job!!
good but i can't see any blood but... i have one wish
thats pico right? make halloween picture of every NG star
like MADNESS or P-Bot
FrankinGrounds, lol how awsome
Sweet! Nice one man! Hope to see more cool art from you!
Great job with this picture! Can't wait to see more from you!
Man your pretty good at art, and the other arts you made are awesome.
awesome dude you must of took long on this it rocks for halloween
since the first moment i saw it in this lovely website
I really like all the light it has, it all looks like a huge luminiscent pumpkin
I love the steampunk and I also love the knife in the pumpkin.
All i have to say.. Now that's some fucking dedication! Leg shot to hell arms and rest of the body is more machine then flesg, and hes breathing out of a pumpkin, and STILL he wants thiems candy!
Wish i was that dedicated about anything in my life lol..
You the man Utah.
You are in front page men xD
It's more the feeling I get from the piece. A morbidly cozy, somewhat familiar and still unsettlingly cool type of feeling. The colors are lovely and almost surreal and everything simultaneously reminds me of the best candy bar ever made though it's not one that I've eaten before, just the kind you always want to buy and there it is on the shelf but you're too afraid to spend the money on it because it MAY not taste good (there is always that chance).
My review may not make any sense...but your drawing does to me. Well done.
Author's Response:
thanks dude
Haha your signature is edited out of the banner :D franken steam punk pretty cool
Kinda reminds me of Big Daddy from Bioshock. :P
the coolest fucking thing ive ever seen it makes me want to suck my own penis off
it is soo fucking amazing that if u havent relized yet im kinda stoned right now and getting gay with myself
na im puting stupid stuff on im ot in 100 percent condition but this is pritty cool man and it belongs on the front page man even though ur an admin and kinda decide what goes on the front page but still man give urself a pat on the back man uve made the ultimate trick or treating machine
I see this and I realize how similar it is to l4d tank
I love how both the pumpkin he's holding and the trick-or-treat pumpkin bag are smiling. It makes it more creepy :D
xD pico re-vamped xD awesome timing for halloween too!! 10/10
so awsome i dont know what to do whith my self
all that i can say about this pic is that its awesome
This artwork is truly amazing! wow
this is truly awesome, as in, it leaves me in awe and wonder. there's so much to look at and it's all amazing!
I normally don't give tens out of nowhere, if they have even the slightest flaw, it's not a ten (which i believe fair)... so you can imagine how I considered your artwork :)
Great job man! The first impression I had is that of something halloween-esque version of amixture between Pico and Bioshock! Hehe!
The light effects are great, and the background suits perfectly!
Oh, and btw, why so much lightbulbs? LOL, the other kids are gonna have soooooo much fun of him breaking them with their slingers! (what are them, Dennis the Menace? Bart Simpson?) ^_^
So, in conclusion (sorry for babbling): COOL!!
Author's Response:
tough customer :)
I figured the art should be bright and colorful and what better way than lots of LIGHT BULBS amirite?
thanks chief.
would be even cooler n then i'd give you 11/10 =]
i as a lover of steampunk can say u its not steampunk
too much glass
whatever good i more like process than the final
sorry for the bad english i'm russian
Author's Response:
BOOOOOO
Wow!
Ehi, excuse me, what software do you use for colorize?
Author's Response:
this one was pretty much all photoshop
Just PLAIN AWESOME!
The Abominations has been risen!!!
Steampunk Pico Shall tear the candies from your arms!!!!
5/5 + 10/10 + Fave!!!
This is awesome! No really! and is that Pico?! Man this is awesome!
this is a master piece 10/10
i ask how did you add that finishing effect on the picture
its been drawn first in flash, then you did something with photoshop, i ask what did you use in photoshop to get such results?
This reminds me of many characters i see every day, Bane from batman, Mecha zombie from Predator video game, Ann Marie from our neighborhood...
I think it's better of you called it the pico halloween abomination. Because it looks like the abomination from warcraft 3
It's a fitting piece for the banner during the Punkoween competition. Looks pretty sweet with the dark aura as well. Brings wondrous, dark thoughts to mind as well. An overall good piece for the time of year.
So colorful yet so creepy, but in that lovable Lovecraft kinda way. A truly memorable Newgrounds Halloween tribute.
i love the fact that it has a basket and it is in fact rick or treating
fucking amazing! :D
FuCkInG gReAt!!! :DDD
FUCKING!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDD
100/10 for this image! it's really REALLY REALLLLYY great!

ART REVIEW CRUNK
Author's Response:
mother...
fucker.
this is the coolest pico ever i cant even explain how good this is
TRICK OR TREAT MUTHA-FUCKA
umm trick or treat...please dont kill me?
The lighting effects (which are always a butt to do) were done PERFECTLY and really made the piece. And fetal Dad was pretty funny.
what have youu done to pico!!!!!!!!!!!
This is soo....ARTISTIC! This has 2 be one of your best drawings yet!
todally blu my mind off
It was great, I wish I could draw like that, but I think'd be cool if one of the jacko-lanterns were angryfaic
Blowing our minds, once again Johnny?
I really admire your coloring style. It's the best.
Happy Halloween NewGrounds!
Wtf?!?!? Cool Pico cyborg mutant something if it is that.
mini dad ind a bottle haha.
nice work
Nice job man.The best moster ever!
shweet work bromie
i liked it
:O
very cool
The shading and lighting, especially with the multiple sources brings this to life, but the details that get me are the merging of various NG characters. :)
I can't help but being a little curious at the coincidence between the steampunk theme of this and this months writing contest, but this would be awesome either way...
Author's Response:
writng contest? i guess i missed it
Totally awesome very NEWgrounds worthy!
What have you done?!?!
I bet Pico regrets nothing.
Pico ?? is that you and WTF dad doing in this bottle
lol was awesome it's a good ide'a to frontpage this.
Steampunk mixed with madness and sprinkled with halloween! Left me speechless when i saw it. Only the back ground could be a little bette.
Honestly, what can i say that hasnt been said already....
Zanzibar island adventure
What a cool design man, all the little details are what really get me.
The lighting on this piece is astonishing! I myself am a starting up NGs artist, but I don't even come close to your perfection, Mr. Utah.
Author's Response:
work on it THATS AN ORDER
i dont know if any1 told u this already but it woulda been pretty cool for a angry faic pumpkin but still really nice
"Theres one thing i dont like about this picture."
Are you a lightbulb fan?
The lighting on this piece really brings everything to life! Me being an artist myself, it's hard to top this! EXCELLENT to the 3rd power!!!!
its awesome.
nice! I would've never guessed :D
great work mate, the art is true to the style and the title, congrats! a great mix of iron, frankenstein and... uh.... candies? well, it IS halloween...
awesome job mate, really liked it! congrats for the front page!
Author's Response:
this is my first FORAY into steampunk, frankly making up all those details gets very stressful
another awesome art piece mr. utah. I can see you work extra hard on this one :3
simply put, it turns me on
WHY IS HE IN A BOTTLE?!
AWESOME JUST AWESOME i love the dad fetus on the shoulder and all the lightbulbs!!
I could look at this illustration for hours and find new things. I love the details and colors you used, and you can see that you spend a good amount of time making this one. Dang pretty sick drawing man!
Author's Response:
thanks dude
Now that's a Frakenstin's monster!
I would love to see this as a boss in some halloween theme beat-em-up game.
He'll hobble and can up-chuck candy corn.
Excellent Work!
like big daddy mixed with pico
Hah, shoulder oven... and the leg of Marcus Fenix.
Also, nice franken hair.
i love it man...
is it with illustrator?
Author's Response:
flash and photoshop
A bit OTT, but well drawn all round. Nice lighting there, and the purple background brings out the robot dude. Yeah, I know it's Pico.
I like it, the vibe is very fun. It looks more cyber punk than steam punk.
I love all the weird mechanical portions you put throughout his body and the bottle that has a cork top but a hole on the bottom makes me laugh.
Hooray for lightbulbs!
Im liking the lightbulbs
Very nice and bright XD makes me wuna go trick or treating.
cool costume
Hooot!!!
Awesome drawing&coloring 10/10
I dont know wtf, is going on, but I love it
not gonna lie, you got a really cool signature
ooh, I love steampunk!
Another great...art you've...art
It is perfect! You are a very good artist. Those light bulbs are so original! :3
How long did this take to draw?
A very intresting take on 2 themes :D I like all the lightsources and glows with that asymetric construction :)
