ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fanart - MLP. Feathered Phalanx]

A good illo overall, though a bit cluttered for my taste. On the other hand the Spartan furries _are_ in a phalanx, so of course they'll be close together...

For anyone else who arrives at this page: as the OP said, "300" is not true history; even the fight scenes are pretty unrealistic overall. As always, if you want to learn all about what really happened you need to find books written by reliable historians, & read them thoroughly. But for a basic intro to Thermopylae, the following YT clip ain't bad:

[The Coarse Curse Episode 1 026 - 030]

Okay, now it's getting funny.

[The Coarse Curse Episode 1 015 - 020]

"Godspeed, Fiyo"...

If Kevin J. Taylor ever reads this, he'll love it. If you've been reading porn comics for long enough, you know who he is.

[Happy New Year 2023]

An excellent way to start the year, indeed.

[The Blood Trail Rabbit]

And here I thought the man-eating rabbit in Monty Python's "Search for the Holy Grail" was scary...*smh*

[On Stool]

By the FSM's meatballs, I don't believe it! Not only is there another artist on here using trad media, but subtractive technique on top of that...amazing.

I thought I was the only one, until I saw your ceramic happy mushrooms.

The piece has a slightly eerie feel to it. If that's what you were going for, you succeeded.

DonaldLPatten responds:

Thank you. Making Subtractive Charcoal figure drawings is something I’ve been working on since February. It’s a really interesting process. I attend multiple life drawing classes every week to practice drawing and to be making art with other artists. I will be posting so many life drawings next year.

[Cyan Mini Mushrooms]

Never thought I'd see ceramics on NG of all places! It's terrific that one of the old crafts is getting some exposure here.

DonaldLPatten responds:

I’m glad you like them. I love making ceramic artworks and I’ll post more soon.

[Grenade Head V Dynamite]

Nice. It's got an early 70's underground comics feel...

The composition is a bit cluttered & lopsided but considering it's two dangerous characters squaring off, maybe that can't be helped. Anyway it's good. We don't see enough pen work like this in NG.

VWAR responds:

I've really liked The Maxx comics and its animated varient between mr gone and maxx fighting scene at a gas station, with also chainsaw man inspiration to the mix making this drawing exist! and i really appreciate you and rest of mah folks passin' by to appreciate my work! thank you!!

[Boy, I ain't said shieet]

When four-eyes is done with her, send the lady over here.

[Hellraiser - It Is My Sad Duty]

"...to inform you that on the day & time of your death if not before, I will arrive to take you, in the form of your disembodied soul, to Hell. Upon arrival at the gates, you will be checked in. I will then accompany you to the nearest Intake Processing Center, at which point you must register with the front desk daemon. He will assign you a number, which you are advised to not discard or misplace..."
