ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Four Flies [2K23]]

In horror art, eyeballs always work.

I like your use of a single color...it's effective. Many people would consider a single color very limited but you made it work. My only complaint is the composition is a bit lopsided, but for horror movie packaging or posters this would definitely do.

If it hadn't been for this piece, I'd have no idea that Dario Argento existed. Not sure if his films are my cup of tea because I haven't seen any yet. Now I have a reason to. Awesome.

CobaltRogueX responds:

Thanks! A lot of Argento's films are basically just more brutally-choreographed murder mysteries with (usually) fantastic musical scores and some hefty doses of dream logic. I would definitely recommend a few of them if you're looking for something different. c:

Thank you for your kind words.

This oughtta be your avatar, man...

I like the spirit of it. Sort of like if you picked a rat from the nearest sewer & fiddled with its DNA a bit--after reading a couple stories by Lovecraft.

snotrat responds:

haha thanks, you know what you're right. im gonna make this my pfp on youtube

wow it does make a good avatar

[tiamat]

When the author of the Epic of Gilgamesh wrote of Tiamat, I'm not sure if this is what he had in mind...but seriously, this is cool. First depiction of Tiamat I have ever seen with this many heads, alone with bat wings & the ability to blow fire.

snotrat responds:

ah, i based it off of the tiamat from dungeons and dragons. i drew it for a school play about dungeons and dragons. huh, today i learned that tiamat is actually a pig like creature with the wings of a bird. i wonder if the one from dungeons and dragons is supposed to be the same tiamat.

[Joji aka filthy frank]

This is the best one in the gallery so far. *thumbsup*

[3d model nomad sculpt]

The bear looks cute & slightly sinister at the same time...interesting.

[Great Cthulhu]

They worshipped, so they said, the great Old Ones who came to the young world out of the sky. They were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea. But their entombed bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult that would always exist, until the time "when the stars are right", great Cthulhu from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh beneath the waters would rise...

[Tree Golem]

Now THIS is how a golem should look...not some unimpressive mud-man. He's huge! His only shortcoming is that he has no legs to run down victims with, but since he started as a tree that's probably part of the gig. I wouldn't have thought it was digital unless it was labeled!...looks like the kinda pen & watercolor work I wish I could do.

HappytoDraw responds:

Thanks alot!

[Horned eyeless demon]

He looks like he could whip Hellboy's ass...

[Hidden Talent]

Not bad but the eye seems a bit out of place...it would also be more effective if it was glowing green or dark orange instead of white with a tiny circle for a pupil. But the overall texture & color is great!

[Wildthing]

Nice. Maurice Sendak would love this.
