ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[more random late night sketches]

Nice. Now if only you had done these on clear paper instead of lined stuff...unless you're going for that "scribbled during a lecture" thing, in which case it works. I dig the fill-in technique for the shaded areas.

2nd one is my fave of the three...we rarely ever see women in anything other than a sexy costume or nothing at all on NG. Good change of pace there.

[figure drawings from earlier this year]

Not bad, but they're heavy on the outlining... If you're after realism or a likeness here, it is best to ditch the outline & rely on lights & darks. Also, your art would look better in good lighting & photographed more squarely. Still, you got skills...& that is good.

[Le Rare French Venom]

Wouldn't it be funny if Venom started his fights with "en garde!"....

[blair]

Not bad, not bad at all... Her chin is a bit too pointy for my taste, but that's the dominant fashion in manga. At least you didn't make her eyes ridiculously large.

She certainly looks good... If I were a 'toon, I'd definitely hit her up. We'd have a nice afternoon at a local coffee house somewhere.

[The Great American Collab]

Corn Pop was a bad dude...*riffs on guitar*

[Foresight]

He had enough foresight to blow someone away before that guy made a move on him?...That's what it looks like. Cool concept.

Azk0 responds:

Yeah. Thats his whole shtick basically you nailed it xd

[The Trail poster]

First time I've seen Death take the form of a wolf. It certainly fits him.

[On the Prowl (for Vacation) [Gift Art]]

Not bad but are you going for cuteness here? Because if so, it would've worked better with a puppy instead of a full-grown wolf...assuming your canid is a wolf. The plump belly & the happy expression look slightly out of place on him. Of course if that's what your client wants then kudos for delivering. :-D Technically, it works.

ShangXian responds:

Her character is an adult wolf with this colour scheme, I asked her brother since it was a surprise and I didn't want to tell her I was planning a gift art. Cuteness wasn't the aim, I wanted to show the independent attitude of my friend through the wolf's appearance, and the wolf's look is based on real life photos of wolves found on Internet in order to get proportions right while at the same time I combined it with a more semi-cartoony feel. These are examples of wolf photos I used as reference to break the figure into mental geometric shapes: https://www.warrenphotographic.co.uk/photography/bigs/03981-Grey-Wolf.jpg

I notice that people tend to give them a slender, thin belly, usually in semi-realistic/cartoony versions. I opted for something more attuned with the animal's silhouette.


In a scrapped version it was originally her wolf character fighting off a giant snake who represented post-Covid symptoms since she had to deal with them for almost a year.

But then I opted for something more neutral and linked to the adventurous spirit. Thanks for the feedback though, I liked it ^^

[TERRI PUBEFACE V2]

Cool. Is she related to Sentry at all?

KhaosKitsune617 responds:

sentry?

[This Is A Hopeless Message]

It would be interesting to see that on the next version of the dollar bill...

ShangXian responds:

And now I would love to see a dollar bill with this triangle XD
It would be interesting and eerie at the same time.
