ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sequential Degrade]

Props for posting a triptych...that's traditional. There is a clear decline in the woman, leading to her death (murder?) in the 3rd pic. The series is a bit cluttered here & there but overall, well done.

[the vessel]

It still looks like a good protest against AI "art" to me... A graphic portrayal of what all-consuming tech & "virtuality" does to the human spirit.

[Garfield M.D.]

😄 Cute.

You should develop this into a one-off comic strip.

Eudaemon responds:

Unfortunately I’d feel like it’d be plagiarism to make a Garfield House comic since I use Davis’ illustrations heavily as a reference; I haven’t learn the style. Hugh McLaurie is also very hard to manga-if but I like that I made someone laugh :)

[Marvin the Manhunter]

This is one of your best ones!... I always got a kick out of Marvin in the old WB cartoons. Marvin as a "Manhunter" would be hilarious.

[Congregator Prototype Design / Character Sheet [OC]]

In the first pic he slightly reminds me of Pinhead, from the Hellraiser horror flicks.

[The Sneaky Peak- Update Early May]

Good to see you haven't given up...no doubt your little one is motivation. Other thoughts:

1. Why does Sazzi have toes but no feet? Maybe I'm nitpicking here, but I can't get past it.
2. Wish I could send more $$ but I recently took two trips to the emergency room...finally off the antibiotic yesterday. The rest of my situation you already know.
3. You probably wouldn't want to draw my ideas. They would involve huge throbbing cocks.
4. Manual labor ain't that bad as long as you don't think about it too much.

Zilu7 responds:

Thank you for your kind words. <3 I'll answer your questions as best I can and because of the way this platform works, any further conversation will have to be done in the DMs.

1) She does have feet! but they kinda blend into her legs. She's pointing her feet. I can see how you would interpret it like that which makes me think I need to do a better job with her design.
2) Goodness! Yeah no, please don't send me anything if you've got stuff going on yourself. This goes for anyone who's reading this. If donating puts you in a tough financial situation, DON'T DONATE. Use that money to better your own situation.
3) Hey I'm not afraid of big throbbing cocks. I've seen and drawn my fair share.
4) This might be a deeper conversation for another day. But what I am afraid of is that I will become a statistic. Someone who has skills and had a career at one point, but then due to hardship had to take an 'ends meet' job, flipping burgers or scrubbing toilets and suddenly their whole life has gone away and they have nothing to show for it. I refuse to let that happen to me and my family. Don't get me wrong, I have worked a ton of jobs in my life. I've been working since I was 12. I've done my time serving food or washing dishes or folding t shirts and pants. I have a bigger plan for my life and I am not afraid to do what it takes to make it happen.

hope that answers your questions! <3

Presumably Jonathan can fly...

[HEAVY, WHERE THE HELL ARE WE? Thumbnail commission]

Ram's horns & a bullet belt? The guy on the left looks like quite a character!...

[Azure]

This is my fave out of everything you've posted in your gallery so far.

Not much I can say about color choice since I'm viewing it on a phone screen; if I was in front of the actual painting, maybe I could say more. The brush technique certainly works, though perhaps the lady's shirtsleeve could use a bit more subtlety. Overall, a very good piece.
