DragonPunch's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hemiji]

You ain't nothin' special. It's good, but the lines are too wobbly.

[The Summer Is Here!]

It's nothing special...

[Chamber Maid Bot]

How in the hell did you get unscouted? Why you of all people? If you ask me that's a bunch of bollocks. This piece is amazing! Seriously. Tell those art mods they're a bunch of idiots for unscouting you. Keep up the amazing work! ; )

[Fairy]

Pretty much the only things that bother are a lack of a background, some anatomy errors with her arm (her forearm looks like it's way too thin, unless you're going for a more cartoony look), and the lack of detailed shading. It's not all bad, but it could use some improvement, and frankly, a good background. It's pretty good, and I would continue to experiment with this one. Try making some backgrounds for her, and come back to me when you have one, so I can see the results! I would love to see more. ; )

[DERP]

You're getting better! My suggestion would be to cover up her forehead more, and make sure her face is more curvy. But, that's pretty much it.

[Zone of the Enders]

There's a reason Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner is my favorite action game of all time. THIS screams "badass" in every sense possible. I love this piece almost as much as I love playing the game, and this is extremely well done. One small complaint: When Jehuty uses the Vector Cannon, it's supposed to be on the ground. Just thought I would bring that up. Other than that small (and I do mean small) gripe, this is the PERFECT representation of ZOE 2 and the ZOE series as a whole!

[Skullgirls fanart "Valentine"]

I'm a fan of Skullgirls as well, but I'm not pulling any punches here. She is WAY too thick, not curvy and thin enough, and frankly, I don't even know where your light source is! She just...Looks way too wonky for me to find this remotely pleasing. I'm being generous because you're a fellow Skullgirls fan. Believe me, as much as I want to give this a lower score than what I've put, my conscience doesn't want me to. I really suggest working on your anatomy, and I hope you take what I say seriously.

Good luck in the future,

SweezDraws responds:

First let me say that I respect your insight on the matter but let me make my own statements as well.

First off, the fact that you find her not Curvy and thin enough is a personal preference of yours and not something I need to correct. I understand that the initial style of skull girls is different but i don't draw like Alex Ahad. I draw females different.

The light source ill give to you. its not one of my strong points.

As for my anatomy it is in fact correct. although a bit exaggerated in some areas it does its job. I've studied anatomy extensively and pride myself on my training. muscle structure, gesture drawing, and posing is something iv'e gotten a lot of practice with these past few years in my journey to improve as an artist. And it shows in all my work from late 2011 to this year.

Also if i may you should not be so quick to point out potential flaws in other peoples work when none of what your suggesting is executed in your own work. its kind of hypocritical.

In any case iv'e said what iv'e needed to say. whether you respond to this or not is up to you But i wont be bothering in any further pointless arguments with you.

Good day to you sir

[Ashlotte]

She looks a little too thick to me. I don't know who the characters is, nor do I care. I don't like how you have your light sourced scattered about. That really bothers me. You've got a lot of potential here, but it is wasted because it looks like you didn't really...put much effort into it. I would really start exaggerating your proportions a little more, and work on that anatomy. The shading is good, but it's nothing to write home about. It could definitely use some improvement. What I would do is take a hard brush, not a soft one, and lower the opacity. Go with the default gray, and make it one of the lighter ones while your shading layer is in "Multiply" and make one large stroke, covering a large amount of area, and then make tinier strokes and blend it all together using the smudge tool, which by the way should be set at around 15-25%.

Good luck in your future endeavors. ;)

I kept hearing the amusement park theme in MVC2 when I looked at this. It looks like a very fun picture and is miles better than what I can do now. I like this piece a lot!

[Katherine v.2]

Much better than last time!

IN response to the PM you sent me, you were an artist to begin with. I was just mad at everyone and everything because of all of the trolling I've been getting. Yes, I do realize now that I should not have said what I said, and I wish to try and reconcile my mistakes. So, onto the piece.

You are improving quite a bit, and while it does have its flaws, such as the somewhat disorderly hair and the odd angle at which her head is at, I do see some potential in you.

Oh, and it only takes your will to draw and create to be an artist.

IloveNantes responds:

I'm not sure why this was downrated. Anyways, thank you for finally realizing the errors of your ways, and I do admit I was a bit hard on the trolling. If you're serious about changing, I can say with certainty that you will have to start paying attention to the constructive criticism that you receive, instead of just nodding your head along to it like a puppet.

Cheers,
iLoveNantes.
