ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[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?

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.

[CHERUBIM OF HELL]

Artistically it's good but I gotta say... Whether that creature is in heaven, hell or anywhere else makes no difference. If you come face to face with it (which face?) after you die, you've got _problems_.

bl00dy-seraphim617 responds:

it is in hell. seeing all faces means problems. (i was sleepy af in first reply lol)

[Let go]

For a second I thought someone had slipped some psilocybin extract into my last drink...

[Complacency]

The title fits the piece, for sure...this is what complacency does to a MF.

[Super Pitoca bikini]

I hope she has strong lower back & abdominals, to stay upright with all that weight up front...

[Deadly wave]

As if an ordinary tsunami wasn't scary enough!...

[some heart drawing idk]

This looks like something drawn by someone who has suffered a lot in her life...

[The Court of the Crimson King: The Return of the Fire Witch]

Nice. The composition is slightly cluttered, but since it is a seascape maybe having lots of stuff in it is par for the course... Overall it's quite original. Not too many illos out there with a singing orca!
