trueWolF's art Reviews on Newgrounds

What the hell

Shading makes absolutely no sense at all. It's not consistent with the lighting at all either. The shadows aren't blended together in any way. It's just semi opaque brush strokes on top of each other which just look ugly and lazy. Inconsistent line art, the lines are thick and thin in all the wrong places. They're very choppy as well. There also seems to be no grasp of lighting knowledge, lighting is appearing in strange places casting wrong shadows as well.. Nothing is rendered/blended. Composition is lacking.

All I wanna know is why the hell this got so many views/such a high rating?

Rhunyc responds:

Ha, thanks for reviewing, and I appreciate the honesty. Frankly, I believe it's simply because it was featured in the art gallery in the first madness game Tom Fulp made. It's got a few pics of mine in it, and the only reason why is because I was one of the first few who submitted madness fanart to the portal.

I'll agree with you on all of this. If you look at my newest pictures, hopefully you can see some improvement. I made this back when I had no real sense in art, I just made stuff with the skills I had at the time - I put no thought into it.

Just did what I did, with what I knew. :)

And I'm assuming why it's the number one viewed piece of art, is because it's just that.. People probably keep checking it out because it somehow got to the top.. I'm thinking it's a combination of the feature it got in Tom Fulps game with the fact that it's been in the portal since the beginning almost.

Pretty rad, Dawg

Would definately like to see some 19201x1200 action goin on here :D

one question, why is she blind folded? i don't see the meaning or relevance to the situation.. other than that i like this piece quite some.. with the clean vectors.

PixelCake responds:

if you want to make a wallpaper for yourself out of it you can :)
Uh I don't know his character always has blindfolds. Maybe it's a fetish? XDD She can apparently see though

Almost perfect.. but

Too bad you messed up on the leg sizes, would have been really cool if you fixed those up before uploading.. her right leg is waaay thicker than the left..

knockwurst responds:

That's actually the shadow on her left leg that makes it look so skinny, but the light from behind her is shining on it, it can be tough to notice unless you look at it full size.

little blurry shadows

it's a nice piece.. but you should really mention to people that you traced this, a long with a lot of your other pieces.. they seem to think you came up with this off the top of your head.. at least mention it in your description so it wont be considered a cheap move..

xartez responds:

It's not traced. I use reference but this reference was in my hand. If you can't make something like that without trace, I'm so sorry. I can. That's why took so long, I try to make perfect. Did you read that?

[James Hetfield]

nice!

it's quite a jump from your previous work.. verynice :D

N0RM responds:

Actually this was done a year before everything else, but I understand what you mean lol

[Dr. Hannibal Lecter]

It's a trace but,

it's still nice..

xartez responds:

Again, its not traced. Please, believe in the talent that people can have.

[The Sitter]

Very nice jo with the rendering but

I would have given it a 5/5 if there was some background to it to keep it interesting..
I know this is probably just a practice piece.. but you could have atleast tried to slap some kind of story onto there.. :)

still.. great rendering on the body..

ginemginem responds:

Well, the empty space IS the story...
