ShadenLines's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Knifemare [2K23]]

Starkly effective.

Why can't I come up with titles like this?...

CobaltRogueX responds:

Thanks! I rather liked out this one turned out back then.

My titles are rarely this good. Should see the faces people have made when I told them the titles of some of my books. It takes years and luck to start coming up with half-decent titles for anything and I still slip up from time to time lol.

[Gender Reveal]

I figured you for a girl... Tbh I hadn't given it much thought. But this is 2024: we can be whatever the f**k we want. I identify as a mat of sphagnum moss.

DancwartVonTronje responds:

People sure speculate a lot. But I suppose that's fine 😅

[Prom Night!]

I didn't go either. By that point I was over high school & wanted out.

This piece has "Carrie" vibes, for sure.

KateKimik responds:

Thank you!! i love carrie so much!

[CityScapeAgain]

Not bad, not bad... You could've pushed the cool colors (sky & water) a bit further, but it works. I like how you did the ground...it looks kinda like sod or fallen straw.

DevilRat responds:

I think you are right when it comes to that as... This place has became my last platform to post on aside from Baraag. Well I wanted to lean towards cools, but not too worm, but it does remind me of old rendering as old photography or 4chan's photography section often inspires me sometimes. Due to how the camera renders, not the cleaniness of today.

[Bunny girl]

Eat your heart out, Playboy...

But seriously, as you learn anatomy, make sure you pick up basic proportions. Legs are longer than arms, etc. Also how the body moves...gotta pay attention to that. I suggest you look up George Bridgman. He was an art instructor in the early 20th century who created several anatomy manuals for artists. There are plenty of "how to draw people" books out there but Bridgman's are still among the best. For you, his "Complete Guide to Drawing from Life" should give you all the info you need.

DevilRat responds:

I agree it isn't good, but thank you for leaving the bad review though. As I do enjoy and just bought Bridgman's books. My lack of specialization for any art program I feel has hurt my art development alongside... I have been depressed for a year since I lost my old job that gave me a sense of identity and purpose. Seeing people comment on my artwork regardless of high quality or shit does bring me a smile... Thanks for giving me some guidance. As the art when it comes to NSFW, I just don't care for big breasts or big asses... The older I get, the closer I just want something cute and lewd like the lines of Konosuba's megumin. I respect this website hates my kind, but I think lack of specialization hurt me the most.

[Up & Away in a hot air balloon!]

This is the first pixel art piece I've seen that I actually like. (Hey, taste is subjective!...)

Haven't played the game yet but I probably will one of these days. Stress relievers are always good.

Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon? It's fun!...just be sure to enjoy it instead of taking repetitive snapshots the whole time.

Creeperforce24 responds:

No I haven’t! But when I do, I sure will! :D

[Another Madness Day in Nevada [2K24]]

...so Hank prefers an M-60? It gets the job done, for sure... M-60s are old tech, though. If Hank just needs to mow down lots of human enemies, he should go with an M-249 SAW. Those are lighter...more portable; if you're committed to a weight limit you can carry a bit more ammo with an M-249. It's also got plenty of effective range.

CobaltRogueX responds:

You are indeed correct, but I just like the visual retro aesthetic of the M60 more LOL.

[BEATRIX #2]

Where are the chains? I see one going around her right hip but that's all...do the others only appear when Beatrix attacks an enemy? She has an interesting backstory, for sure.

KhaosKitsune617 responds:

the chains extend themselves. and the other chain is hidden due to perspective and that she is covering it

[Ultra Fine Point Profiles #004 [2K24]]

Good technique, there.

So you use felt-tip markers, too?...but you go with a fine-point one, it looks like. If she shows up in the next stage of disrobing, I'm here for it.

CobaltRogueX responds:

Lol I only used the ultra fine point. It's essentially like any other permanent marker aside from that.

I might make the attempt at a follow-up, lol...

EDIT: I haven't slept in 16 hours; I misinterpreted your question LOL. I'll use whatever markers I can get my hands on. Felt-tip, gel, ballpoint, etc. If it's fun to use and looks nice, I'll use it. c:

[Russel]

...Crowe.

(I had to)

ShangXian responds:

Lol, nice one!

Never thought about it XD
