ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[March Sketches]

Until now I didn't go for pixel art at all...most of what I saw did not look good. Yours is the first I've ever seen that is not blocky & excessively JPG-looking.

If I were a pixelated character, I'd go for the first one. She seems like a serious, focused kind of woman...my kinda gal.

[A Very Carcitypilot Thanksgiving]

Happy belated Thanksgiving (or Happy Thanksgiving 2025 in advance!)

Your cartooning style vaguely reminds me of a comic strip that ran in newspapers in the 80's...it was called "Cathy".

Carcitypilot31 responds:

Thanks!

[Jamaican Haze]

Not bad...it's a bit bright for my taste but that's purely subjective. The one issue it has is the placement of Mr. Haze makes the whole picture off-balance. If the yellow X were shifted a little to the right, that would even it all out & make the piece more interesting.

I like that he's holding a lollipop instead of the stereotypical joint.

[Celestial Lynx]

That's the first cat I've ever seen with antlers...

Have you ever looked at B. Kliban's cartoons? You should. It would help with what you're doing here.

I haven't but I will give it a google! Thank you for the direction!

Ramen is great. So versatile...you can do a lot of things with a package of noodles.

[layering mishap]

"mishap" how? I don't see it...she looks good. A cute little thing.

[Spooky Bunny]

1. She's cute. The style is a bit slick for my taste but it's a good cartoon.
2. Believe it or not, PB ran some great articles up to the mid-80's or so. I recommend the Cold War-type articles for the history.
3. Having said that, who reads PB for anything anymore? The magazine has sucked ever since Hef died.

… I do like war history.

[Playtoon]

...what Homer reads when Marge isn't around.

[Nuclear waste]

Not bad, if monochromatic... He looks like Ghost Rider's cousin from Chernobyl.

[Charcoal skull]

Interesting...

It could be a portrayal of a mood I (& maybe you) get into every so often.
