ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Twin Koi]

The heads could be a bit more fishlike...the scales & fins are great. The piece certainly looks worthy of inking onto some triad member's back.

7darkriders responds:

thank you for the feedback

[BATHHOUSE]

I thought it was 1/3rd camel, 1/3rd giraffe & 1/3rd mosque...

[HUNTER QUEEN VEENA]

Is it Hunter Queen Veena, or Harlem Pimp Veena?...but seriously, she looks dangerous enough.

Most of the colors are on the warm side. Maybe put in some cooler hues in the shadowed areas for balance next time?...just a thought.

vonschloss responds:

You're meant to think she's just some entitled rich lady, but then you realize you're fucked when you find her sitting in the throne of the guild.

[A Freznid Couple in a Field]

This seems like one possible outcome if the dominant species on Earth had evolved from some kind of sea-dwelling worm, instead of from a proto-hominid one. Given their anatomy, I don't understand how they would put those tattoos on each other, let alone make the bricks in the foreground...still, it's interesting.

[Graphite Mushroom IX]

a.k.a. the "Salt Shaker Mushroom"...

[Graphite Mushroom X]

It looks more like "Junior Graphite Mushroom X".

I gave an extra star for the cuteness. The girls will love this piece.

DonaldLPatten responds:

They love them ;)

[jack skellington fanart]

You caught Skellington's spirit, for sure.

It would be interesting to know what tools/media you used in making this piece.

charlesfrederic responds:

thanks!, I used old pens, colors and markers I found

[Castle Crashers - Conehead]

Nice. I like it overall.

The helmet design ain't bad, but the narrow eye slit would make it hard to see what's happening on the field of battle. The cone shape would be great for deflecting downward sword & axe strikes from overhead.

[Two Minute Poses VI]

This is wonderful.

I'd thought of posting figure-drawing practice pieces too, but didn't think they'd get much attention. Guess you proved me wrong...gotta find a model now.

Did you stick to lines deliberately? If not, then next time consider adding in some shading to describe the model's form a bit better.

DonaldLPatten responds:

Each of these were two minute poses so I only made line drawings. I focus on shades and tones when the pose lasts longer. I’ll be posting more soon.

[Smiling Ceramic Mushrooms]

So you're growing a colony of 'em, eh?...cool.

What substrate do you use, wood chips? Or maybe grog from low-fired stuff?... But seriously, they're cute. And since they're all sold, you obviously make some winners.

DonaldLPatten responds:

Thank you 😊
